The 7th Annual Youth Fair was hosted by the Carrickfergus Raising Attainment Group and the CYPSP Carrickfergus Locality Planning Group this month at Oakfield Community Centre. Over 400 pupils aged 14-15 years from post primary schools had the opportunity to engage with local mental health and wellbeing services that support vulnerable young people in the local area.
Speaking at the fair, Colin Patterson, Vice Principal of Downshire School said, “Adolescence can be a difficult time. The youth fair left everyone knowing that Carrickfergus has a kind and caring community support network”.
