Early Break are also in the process of creating new information leaflets about the different services they offer which will be available from their website HERE or via the Trust website. We will be bringing further details which will provide an overview of these services/projects in a future article.
Coordinating this partnership is Kirsty McDermott, a lifelong Dale fan, and a Young Person’s Substance Misuse Advocacy Worker at Early Break in Rochdale.
Early Break’s involvement in the community, and especially with young people, is a vital role the Trust wants to be part of, and the programmes that Early Break offer are ones we are happy to support. The Trusts welfare team is already working closely with Kirsty and Early Break, and as such will be featuring some of these programs in a more detailed article in the future but details on these and all other programs can be found at the links provided.
For more information either contact Kirsty directly (details below), e-mail the Trust info@daletrust.co.uk, or speak to any Board member who is on duty at the Trust desk in the Dale bar. Please be assured all contact will be in confidence.
