Well Whitehaven project to help shape communities
Jaq Courtney and Emma Williamson
Students from Mirehouse and Corkickle have joined forces to shape the future of activities and services in their communities.
Supported by the Well Whitehaven Project, 30 pupils from Whitehaven Academy set out their aspirations for services, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Jaq Cardy, member of the Well Whitehaven panel, said: “The young people who attended the sessions were really engaging and came up with many ideas.
“A common theme across the groups was a big community event to bring everyone together.
“The sessions also highlighted how much young people care about their community.
