Introduction
2013 has been a busy year once again at Terminal One, as always, the staff, volunteers and young people continue to show why the project is such a great asset to the local community.
Thank You All! This year saw the end of the successful “Mobile Diversion Project”, however, Youth Start Lottery funding was secured for another exciting offering from the Terminal – The Urban Adventure Project. Thanks to the Big Lottery’s 2014 Communities Fund, Youth Clubs and groups were able to attend a residential weekend. There was also another successful Streetdance Showcase held at the Village Theatre in East Kilbride, which I was lucky enough and not (yet) too old to take part in. Throughout the year, contributions by staff and volunteers have been second to none. Their time and efforts are what brings the dynamism to all of the projects, for which we are extremely grateful. The range of services and activities available to Young People are positively beneficial, but the attention and motivation offered to them by the staff and volunteers also has additional benefits.
Community events this year included serving members of the Community their tea and also a community clean up. Hopefully the experiences and skills gained from being involved in the centre will be carried forward and contribute to future opportunities and prospects, something which I have Terminal One to thank for. I’ll end with wishing staff, volunteers and young people of Terminal One all the best for the upcoming year.

The involvement of the Young People at the project makes the staffs’ efforts worthwhile and it continues to create a sense of community spirit, not only in Terminal One but also in the surrounding areas – Thank you!
