Shankill campaign highlighting alcohol and drug use among young people

A new campaign has launched this week aimed at raising awareness campaign around the opinions and experiences of young people about drugs and alcohol in the Shankill area.

Over the past few months young people have taken time to share with their understanding of drugs and alcohol in the Greater Shankill Area. It's part of a wider vision from Greater Shankill Youth Connects to support local young people and families.

Their consultation was completed by 250 young people aged between 11 and 21, some of which took part in discussion workshops. Banners explaining some of the findings of those consultations have appeared across the area, to bring attention to the work ongoing, and offer various strands of guidance to those who need it.
