Revidge Project

Blackburn with Darwen Healthy Living, in partnership with the Young People’s Service and Revidge Community Association, have organised a 16 week consultation project for young people from the Revidge area.  The project consisted of specific training in different consultation methods to enable the young people to deliver those consultation methods to other young people to ascertain their needs and the needs of the community.  Once the training was complete the young people with the help of the staff contacted the local schools and asked if they could consult with the years 5 & 6 from St Silas and Sacred Heart Primary Schools.  They also consulted with several young people in Corporation Park and throughout the Revidge area.
The breakdown is as follows;               
 118 young people Years 5 & 6 in schools
 55 Young people in Revidge area and Park
The team of ‘youth facilitators’ then met for a residential to examine the information gathered and crucially to identify a set of possible solutions and who best to take these solutions forward. The team of young people was also asked to decide what should happen next with the information gathered. From the data collated the young people chose and devised action plans for the following issues; Activities and Facilities, Traffic, Dogs, Litter and Bullying and Nuisance.  The other issues that came out of the consultation project were St Silas and Sacred Heart schools, Corporation Park and play areas and Shops.  The young people looked at the sub themes for the issues and decided that they were not practical to devise action plans for.  A full report has now been completed with all the action plans and all the raw data included.
