OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Significant activities
The Cross Community Company continues to have a Teenage Youth Drop In each Saturday Night. We have a Special Event on the last Saturday of each month in which we have various speakers and a Pizza Night. We have on average about a dozen young people attending each Saturday, who would normally be hanging out at the local Solitude Park. We have five Volunteers who help out running the Youth Night and have befriended these young people. We have had a speaker warning of the dangers of drugs and alcohol abuse.
The youth enjoy a game of table tennis or pool or just to hang out from the cold.
We also continue to have a Men's Drop In on a Monday, to cater for men who are lonely and need company. We have pool and board games and a cup of tea or coffee and hot-dogs and it is open from 12 noon to 6.00 p.m.
We also continue to support an orphanage in India.
