Laggan Outdoor Trip
At the beginning of May, some of the girls from the Drop In Centre went for a fun filled multi activity day at Laggan Outdoor, near Gatehouse. The 4 girls enjoyed activities such as Archery and Mountain Boarding. They also tried Grass Sledging and Reverse Steer Jeep driving, although not everyones steering skills were up to scratch and the instructor had to take over at times! Commenting on her day, one of the girls said " The Mountain Boarding was the best. I crashed but I was OK. The Grass Sledging was quite fast and the sledges had brakes you could steer with. The Reverse Steer Jeep Driving was really confusing."
The trip was part funded by grant money from Dumfries & Galloway Council and money raised at the Charity Shop.

A BIG thank you lunchIn March, the young people from the Drop – in centre hosted a Thank you lunch for the Charity shop volunteers. The lunch was very well attended – not a surprise when you see the spread which was laid on. The money raised by the takings from the charity shop are invaluable to the running of the Drop in Centre. Without the volunteers and their hard work, the great opportunities for the young people just wouldn’t be possible.
