Originally begun as a community youth charity by three Churches (Church of Scotland and Roman Catholic) Blue Horizon is responding to local issues of youth disaffection and anti- social behaviour at school and on the streets of Kincorth and Cove and offering life enhancing experience for young people both locally and city wide. It has formed strategic partnerships with, amongst others, Grampian Police and Kincorth Academy and local businesses to offer services and support to young people and their families.

What We're Doing
Three linked projects offer a range of services. With Grampian Police, a Street Outeach project featuring a refitted double-decker bus was launched in June 2007, as part of our Youth WorxProject. This is providing a mobile youth centre, café facilities and street based activities for the area in the evening. The Bus runs up to three nights each week: Monday (Girls night), Thursday and Saturday. It visits five locations between Cove and Kincorth, and a schedule can be obtained from the office or in Kincorth Academy.
