Chance for younsters to speak to professionals

A new scheme is being launched in Ramsey this weekend to help young people learn about community and social issues.

The first "ASK Ramsey" event will be held at Ramsey Town Hall.

Young people will have the chance to discuss issues such as drugs, alcohol and sexual health with professionals from groups such as the Youth Justice team, Motiv8 and the 3S charity which was formed by victims of abuse.

Organiser Special Constable Andy Culshaw, says the idea for the day was inspired by questions he's constantly asked by youngsters during his work . .

The ASK Ramsey event will take place between 11am and 3pm on Saturday at Ramsey Town Hall and there will be free refreshments.
