The new Project will work with young people across Tamfourhill, Camelon and Bantaskin to encourage youth led community action in the area.
The Our Place Camelon and Tamfourhill Project comes to an end on the 5th May 2023, however the Tamfourhill Tenants and Residents Organisation are very happy and excited to be launching the new #SaferStreetsYouthActionProject. This Project has been developed directly from the community safety work that has taken place through the Our Place Project. The SSYAP aims to work with young people across Tamfourhill, Camelon and Bantaskin to encourage youth led community action throughout the area. The SSYAP will reflect the aspirations and interests of local young people and will continue to be aligned to the local communities priorities. We will in the short term continue to support ongoing areas of community safety work as I detailed in the community safety blog for March 2023:
These specific areas of community safety work will remain relevant but will become refocused as our attentions are more concentrated on delivering a successful new youth project over the next three years. The SSYAP has been funded until spring 2026 by the National lottery Community Fund Young Start Programme along with the Falkirk Community Schools Fund.
On a personal level I am enthused and very pleased to have been given the opportunity to take this new Youth Action Project forward especially as it is aligned to many aspects of the community safety strategy and the work I was so closely involved with through the Our Place Project. I fully intend to continue with a regular blog and I am expect local young people to be making regular contributions to that blog, the aspiration is that over time that young people will have the autonomy and confidence to be publishing their own materials in accordance with their own local priorities, issues and interests.
The current Our Place Camelon and Tamfourhill website will now become redundant , however the work of the Youth Project and other relevant community safety matters will now appear at: https://saferstreetsyouthaction.co.uk/ website, my new email address is: john@ttrohub.co.uk, Twitter is: @SaferstreetsYP and the revamped Facebook page is http://www.facebook.com/Saferstreetsyouthactionproject. My phone number remains 07391524528.
As this is the very last community safety blog , I thought I would be indulgent and look back at some of the photographic highlights of the community safety aspect of the Our Place Project 2020-23. Thanks and Kind Regards John R Hosie.
