Mentoring Programme launched by YMCA
The Perth & District YMCA recently launched a programme called Plus One Mentoring. In association with Perth and Kinross Community Planning Partnership, the programme recruits volunteer mentors who work with young people to offer them support to achieve their full potential. Perth is one of three Local Authority area's piloting the programme in Scotland.
Initiative to target reckless bikers
A police initiative has been launched in Perth that targets speeding bikers. Perth and Kinross has seen the majority of motoring accidents in Tayside in the last year. The new message is to watch out for what is round the corner, as bikers take on the twisting roads of rural Perthshire. A new unmarked stealth bike will be rolled out to catch reckless riders, by capturing footage through an onboard video camera and hard drive.
Primary School Euro success
A team of primary 6 pupils from Cleish Primary School will be representing Perth and Kinross at the national final of the Euro Quiz on Monday after winning the area title. The youngsters won through to take their place in the final, being held in the Scottish Parliament's debating chamber, after a hotly contested local heat. The Euro Quiz is organised by the Scottish European Educational Trust and tests pupils on a range of subjects including history, geography, sport, culture and the European Union. All Scottish Councils have taken part in 2010, with over 400 schools and 1600 pupils competing in local heats across the country.
