This section provides information about the Streetlinks Project being carried out in West Dunbartonshire. Background InformationStreetlinks was established in October 2004. Following the demand highlighted by the Dalmuir Film Crew pilot, which was developed by three local Housing Associations, Link, Trafalgar and Dalmuir, the pilot demonstrated the significant number of target group of young people for whom centre-based, mainstream activities are neither appealing, or appropriate. Following the success of the pilot project the Better Neighbourhood Services Fund (BNSF) gave Community Links West Dunbartonshire £120,000 to deliver a one year Detached Youth Project in West Dunbartonshire. Streetlinks' primary aim is to identify and address the needs of 12-20 year old young people in SIP and related area in West Dunbartonshire who are not currently accessing services or are in need of support. The main objectives of the project are to identify and work with Young People in areas they feel secure and regularly meet. As a detached outreach project, it will conduct the majority of its work on the streets signposting young people to as many partner agencies as possible that will provide information, support, advice and training. Where appropriate and only when a group of individuals make requests that they want to move on individually or collectively the outreach staff may work with the young people involving them in group work, and outdoor training involving partner agencies prior to handling the young person/group over to a more appropriate organisation.
