Mark Ralph of The <strong>Gateshead</strong><br />

<strong>Housing</strong> <strong>Company</strong> joins local<br />

teenagers at one of the Interface<br />

Project health sessions.<br />

Healthy future lies ahead<br />

A health project for young people<br />

in east <strong>Gateshead</strong> has been<br />

boosted with funding from the<br />

housing company and its partners.<br />

The ‘Interface Project’ at Brandling<br />

Hall Community Centre, Felling will<br />

use the £5,000 grant to train young<br />

people to educate others in the<br />

area.<br />

Over 200 young people will take<br />

part in workshops led by trained<br />

youngsters who will talk about<br />

health issues.<br />

It is hoped the project will help to<br />

reduce antisocial behaviour, teenage<br />

pregnancies and alcohol abuse in<br />

and around the Felling area.<br />

Mark Ralph of the housing<br />

company’s Felling office, said: “We<br />

wish every success to the young<br />

people who will spread the good<br />

health message to others in the<br />

Felling area.”<br />

Funding came from the housing<br />

company’s Community Fund,<br />

which is also supported by<br />

<strong>Gateshead</strong> Council and Mears.<br />
