Fifteen teenagers from the Newry and Mourne area who took part in and completed the Kilkeel Gets Active Youth programme over the summer months were presented with an Open College Network (OCN) accredited award in Healthy Living for the Individual this month in Newry.
A few of the young people shared their experiences of participating on the programme; ‘it was a great opportunity to socialise and achieve a qualification in a fun way’ and another young person spoke at the awards evening saying ‘we learnt so much over the two weeks, had lots of fun and made friends for life!’.
