On Friday a group of teenagers set off on an outward bound weekend in the Lake District - courtesy of the Conservative Party. Deborah Dunleavy - Conservative Parliamentary Candidate for Bolton North East chose this project to fund as her Social project in the community. Their destination was Ormside Mill a residential centre run by Lancashire Association of Clubs for young People at Appleby in the Lakes.

They will doing lots of activities over the weekend including climbing, abseiling, gorge walking, kayaking, open boat canoeing, mountain biking, hill walking, and a variety of team challenges.

The lads are all self catering, will which also be a challenge!

Next month the same lads are planning their practice and actual expeditions for Duke of Edinburgh silver Awards.

Deborah said, "Its been a real privilege to be involved with this group, its just goes to show what can be achieved with the right commitment and people like Johnny Partington from Bolton Lads & Girls who's been with them the whole way"

"I look forward to watching them progress in life over the next couple of years"
 
 
  
Deborah went on to say how far this group had come in general from when they were first engaged on the streets of the estate. They  are all also about to start their Level 1 Coaching award and will hopefully be working with younger children in their own community.

They have already become volunteers at the Lads & Girls Club on Wednesday night Junior Sessions.
