Making a difference
This project has helped Year 11 students from Bro Dur School feel safe and supported. They learned new skills and grew stronger.
They learned new skills and found ways to do well.
Youth workers saw big changes. Students behaved better, joined in more, and felt stronger inside. This shows that learning in different ways can really help.
The Bulldogs Achieve Project helps young people stay in school and plan for a bright future.
