A HOUSING group has gifted 10 tablets to the Wrens Nest youth centre in Dudley to help with online learning and communication during the coronavirus pandemic.
The devices come from the Black Country Housing Group (BCHG), an award-winning housing association based in Blackheath, and were distributed as part of their Community Cohesion Project, funded by Dudley Council (Dudley Innovation Fund).
Managed by the Wrens Nest Youth Centre, Dudley Community Church and BCHG’s Social Business Team, the project aims to reduce anti-social behaviour within the Dudley borough.
As the Wrens Nest is currently closed due to the lockdown, the tablets will allow youth leaders to hold weekly sessions, allowing the young people to reconnect with each other in positive, innovative ways.
Most importantly, the 10 children will form a local Youth Committee, meeting every week via Zoom with Avija Cerevko, the youth centre’s Community Development Officer.
