The annual Summer Scheme, which takes place at the beginning of July, provides young people with a range of fun activities which promotes learning and participation. One of the main highlights of the summer programme in 2019 was the ’New Beginnings’ residential in Shannaghmore - aimed at supporting pupils moving from primary to post-primary education. The pupils’ participation in the project encourage them to develop new relationships and explore some of the changes they may face in a new school setting. Other projects offered by The Youth Annexe include: Outdoor Pursuits, ‘Aiming High’ Awards, Cultural Identity, Summer Scheme, Dance/Drama, Arts and Crafts and residential teambuilding experiences. The Youth Annexe staff and volunteer team work to develop positive and meaningful relationships with the Lurgan JHS pupils when they meet weekly.
