What it's all about

We're setting up and running a project where we will present a workshop to school children aged 11-13 about legal and illegal drugs and the boundaries between the two. We will be piloting the workshop in one school in February and if its successful rolling it out to more as the year goes on.

Here's a link to someone who ran a project, going into schools and delivering workshops about various issues and it might be worth getting in contact with her to ask for advice about delivering these sessions in schools. I noticed your action asking for advice on presenting sensitive information in schools, so she might be able to help.

    As you're students at Kingston University you can access up to £750 to help turn your idea into reality. I see you've already got in contact with Martin, your Volunteer Support Officer, which is great. He can help you with advice, funding, training and general support throughout the course of the project.

    If you need any help or advice, just let us know.
