Cohort 2 Group Sessions

Posted 13th February 2024

Our young people from our new cohort have been spending time building positive relationships with peers and staff, whilst having fun and gaining new skills at group sessions. Young people have spent time building skills on cooking, cleaning & washing, online safety and managing their health, as well as working together to create friendships - the group is expanding every week! We held some of our sessions at Gigg Lane in Bury, thank you Gigg Lane for allowing us to use your space.

Our sessions are moving quickly, and young people seem to be enjoying them, so far, we have had visits from sexual health, we have focused on Health and keeping safe and set up a ‘services’ treasure hunt so young people can understand what other support they are offered. We have completed some tenancy and housing sessions where young people know what to expect when living independently, and young people really got involved with the cleaning session, competing who could get the cleanest carpet! 

We had a visit from Jonny where our new CLMN reps were chosen -Welcome Mahan and Adam to the CLNM we know you will be FAB! Both reps also attended the CLNM Scotland meeting which they thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you, Kerry for staying over with them. 

The group worked positively to create their group agreement and they worked as a team to look at our base and who we are as BRO house project, the young people created this poem about living independently and the support they are offered from BRO House Project -

I’m gassed to be getting my own Gaff! Actually, I am scared and alone, to live in my own home,  

Am I going to be safe and sound in my own flat?  Will I get support, where can I go if I need a chat?  

If I need help, I know where to go, I can go to BRO.  

Well Done Cohort 2 we can’t wait to keep working with you & keep extending our BRO family!

We also now have our own Twitter Page @BROHouseProject that you can follow!
