We should all support the Teenbridge Project

Thank you very much for taking interest in my blog! Many of us are unaware of the troubles facing teenagers today. For example drugs and alcohol abuse. Last year one in seven people admitted to Accident and Emergency departments across the UK for alcohol related health issues were under 14 years old - a total of over 2239 cases. Drug and alcohol abuse in teens is becoming more of a problem each year as our culture changes. A key statistic is that the average starting age of Heroin use in many towns and cities in the UK is just 15 years of age - so we have an obvious duty to prevent young people from getting inadvertently caught up in addiction through misguided experimentation.

However, help is at hand! The Teenbridge Project was set up in 2003 and is a Christian organisation that aims at giving young people a chance to live a healthy, clean lifestyle. It also tries to bring Jesus to them in a way relevant to their life.It is not just on the street that they do their valuable work. They also visit schools local to the Teignbridge are to teach them about the bible and spread the good news about Christ.

The Teenbridge project operates in the Teignbridge area which includes Dawlish, Teignmouth, Kingsteignton, Starcross and Heathfeild. It has no specific base as they are always out and about doing their important jobs for the community.
However they do have several venues which are great for young people to hang out at, relax, and have fun. These include the ‘Hole in the Wall’-a café/ youth club. It is such a laid back place for young people to escape the hecticness of everyday life.
