Organised by Flavia Docherty from The Cupboard Project, a YPDP pilot based in the city, the event celebrated the end of year two of the programme.
YPDP is a three-year Department of Health-funded pilot programme that aims to address risk behaviour, especially in relation to teenage pregnancy, substance misuse and educational attainment through a long-term, broad-based, developmental programme for young people aged 13 to 15.
