CTH DELIVERS TRADE INSIGHT TO LEVENMOUTH ACADEMY
In the Hubs set up process we connected with many services within the Levenmouth Community. Part of our main objective and project goals was to link into education, training and youth development. It was clear from our initial meetings with the school leadership team that our project was a massive fit to the schools curriculum activities.
WAID ACADEMY JOINS CTH
S5 & S6 from Waid Academy are joining us for the next few months for an Insight to Construction.
The pupils will get a basic insight to Trades, safe use and handling of Tools and Power Tools, they will also have the opportunity to be a part of Community Project of restoring benches for Leven High Street.
OCTOBER HOLIDAYS 2021
Following the success of our Summer Camp we had many requests to return to us in the October Holidays. With this request and no other opportunities for young people within the community we hosted another holiday club for the October break.
With continued support from our working partnership, Police Scotland we worked with 24 kids from our Summer group. Working with the same young people enables us to continue with their development and building and maintaining a relationship with the young people throughout their skills development. Giving them an early insight to options available for the future.
SUMMER CAMP 2021
Living in a deprived area and having missed so much in 2020 due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, we wanted to give young people in the area an opportunity to have some fun, re-engage in the community and participate in activities which may not be available to them due to costs.
Our age group ranged from P7 Leavers to 5th Year. The idea being that it would potentially give P7 Leavers the chance to create new relationships with others from different Primary Schools and people already in high school, making the transition from Primary to High School that little bit easier.
The programme was designed to help everyone re-engage into society, build confidence, self esteem, get back to socialising, engage with the community and make new friends, all whilst enjoying activities which may not have been available to them.
This was proven to be very effective whilst working with 30 young people over 6 weeks, all a mix of age range, backgrounds and coming from different areas.
Some of the groups were very challenging as they had no respect for themselves or anyone else, learning difficulties, ADHD, Autism and Disabilities, however, with the support of all the workers involved we helped and taught the young people how to respect themselves and each other.
The agencies and volunteers we worked with were amazing with the young people, they had the patience to talk, listen and support the young people. We can’t thank them enough.
The summer camp was a great success, young people getting their first aid certificates, overcoming their fears, gaining new skills, growing in confidence and self esteem, making new friends, joining new groups e.g Sea Cadets, but most of all having FUN.
CTH CLIENTS BUILD MEMORIAL BENCH FOR WELL-LOVED LOCAL
CTH were privileged for the opportunity, on behalf of Buckhaven Community Council, to build benches in memory of a well admired local.
This was a great way to use their recently gained skills.
It has been an honour and a pleasure for our clients and team to take part in this.
SANTAS COMING...... TO CTH
Our staff, clients and local Police Station all got together to design and create this a beautiful Santa sleigh for Collydean Community Centre. It brought a great sense of festivity to the hub.
Our local Police Station provided the space to store and construct the sleigh along with officers that, in their own time supported us in the construction.
It had been a very difficult year, but communities pulling together shows what can be achieved for a good cause.
CTH CLIENTS REFURB COMMUNITY CENTRE TRAINING KITCHEN

COMMUNITY PROJECT REVIEW
CTH's young men and women came into to do the whole installation of our training kitchen from the laminate floor up. What a marvellous and professional job they did.
They will all be a credit to anyone who is lucky enough to become their employers after their training is completed. - Collydean Community Centre
