"I came up with the idea for doing a project about legal highs as I was shocked that there isn't really any information for young people. We went to Edinburgh to see 'Crew' which looks like a cool chilled out shop but instead of buying things you get advice on things like drugs and sexual health and they do this for the people of Scotland. We were given what was supposed to have been a 60 minute presentation but actually took 1 hour 45 mins due to myself and the others bombarding them with questions. The presentation was called 'legally high??' and it was VERY interesting . It was very useful and there's a lot I will take from the session. We also got the chance to visit their drop in and look at their resources and show them the ideas for our questionnaire. It certainly gave me a lot I can talk about and include in our project that me and the rest will do in the future. It was an inspirational visit and I can't wait too start the project properly". Emma
"I am working on this project with Phoenix DYP to raise awareness on the problems of Legal highs in our area. To do this we will be working with other young people including MC Rockeye to create some media (film, music, poster, postcards) to raise awareness. As part of our research we spent the day in Edinburgh with the Drugs outreach project 'Crew'. We realized that even though their speciality is on drugs even they don't have any film or poster resources on legal highs for young people. This visit has really inspired us to create resources of our own". Laurie
We are really excited about working in partnership with Crew and really appreciate the time they spent with us. They have an excellent website for young people to use www.crew2000.org.uk
