Sparks of Colourful Money

COVEY have been asked to coordinate a project which will involve young people in making decisions about money that is available to be spent in their local community.

Daryle Cochrane and the Youth Forum members are inviting COVEY young people assisted by their befrienders to be involved. At our AGM on Tuesday 18th June we will have the opportunity to hear about the projects.

“Think about what would improve your lives and the lives of other young people”

“It’s not that some people’s ideas are winning and others losing – every idea is valued. What’s important is that everyone works together to improve ideas and make wee tweaks so that together we come up with great things.

20th Anniversary

This year we celebrate 20 years of befriending in South Lanarkshire with COVEY.

In 20 years we have be successful in gaining £4.4m and helped over 1800 young lives.

We started the year off with a celebratory AGM where the young people performed a song they had written for the occasion.

On 1st March COVEYbefriending in partnership with Integrated Childrens' Services hosted our Power of Partnership event exploring and celebrating partnership working.

To mark this milestone we have planned some events throughout the year involving young people with partner agencies and the community.
