YACNE Creative Research
Youth Arts Collective North East (YACNE) creates opportunities for young people aged 0-25 to
shape and participate in the arts and to explore and develop their creative potential.
YACNE is made up of youth, arts and community organisations from across Aberdeen city and
shire, led by Aberdeen Performing Arts.
We are currently investigating and engaging with a range of non-British, migrant families and communities in Aberdeen city
and shire, to establish and understand their cultural needs and aspirations.
To help with this we have created 2 surveys for those who are non-British to complete and share their views, one for parents
and one for young people. You can access the surveys at the bottom of the YACNE webpage or via thier Facebook page.

Custody Suites - ‘TV’ / PowerPoint Adverts
Police Scotland is committed to working with partners who provide a variety of support services to those
who find themselves in Police custody as a result of, or have issues with substance misuse, financial
problems, domestic related incidents or other social issues.
In an effort to change the perception of the custody environment from being punitive measure to one
which is seen as the first step to support or recovery, 3 television screens are strategically located in the
custody centre.
The purpose of these screens is to advertise various support services that may be potentially available on site or post
custody.
If you feel your service would be of benefit to people being brought into custody please forward a PowerPoint presentation
advertising your services to Inspector Mark Fleming at the email address below.
If you believe the service provided by your agency could be enhanced by engaging with some of these people whilst they
are in custody, please contact Inspector Fleming and he will happy to discuss your service and how we can look to introduce
this to the custody environment.
