INCLUSION AWARD

Pennyburn Youth Club
WINNER
Pennyburn Youth Club
(Education other than School)

Having a more inclusive youth club provided the impetus for young people and youth leaders of Pennyburn Youth Club in Derry. Over 30 young people (14-19yrs) are participating in the Princes Trust XL Awards that include life skills, personal development, social skills and citizenship. Approximately half this group have a disability and this programme develops leadership skills and offers everyone the opportunity to work to reveal their full capacity and potential.

They worked with a professional artist to script and plan their films and engaged in the acting, filming, sound recording, special effects and post production processes.
