Last weekend, twenty young people and three Youth Workers took part in a residential course, which formed the last part of the ‘Feel Good’ project delivered at the Youth Centre during the year. The project focused on raising levels of confidence and self-esteem in the participants by providing opportunities to reflect on themselves and develop in a mixed interest group and setting.
A joint Team Building event for social workers was held at Buffadero Training Centre late last week. It was organised by British Forces Senior Social Worker Richard Abbott and 9 members of the Social Work Department along with Sean Sullivan from the Education Department took part.
The GSD has released the following statement to coincide with the UN’s ‘International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women’ which is marked today:
Today is about speaking out on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence globally. A day to reflect on the extent of such a blight in our own society, to raise awareness about what domestic violence exactly is and to suggest ways forward in order to address the problem. Today serves as a reminder of the work that remains ahead of us.
Walking into the Cookhouse in the Forward Operating Base in Jebel Sahara really is a massive morale boost. Despite the soaring temperatures outside it always feels cool and clean inside and there is a constant supply of hot and cold drinks.
