Young people learned about the Defence Munition Centre, Babcock's dry docks as well as the different types of vessels on the water!

Young people commented:

" It was a fun day out and you get to see the animals in the sea and hang out with friends"

"I enjoyed it, the staff has spoken about this activity and helped us all discover new things and learn new things . I reckon 10/10 it was very good"

As part of our summer provision, we took a group of young people from our street based project go karting this week.

The young people had the opportunity to participate in a go-karting grand prix, each walking away with a medal and a trophy for the winner! The young people also had two games of laser tag, which helped them develop their team work skills and their friendships.

It was great to see the young people have fun and let off some steam!
