Blue Horizon Charity was established in December 2005 after considerable local consultation and a successful horizon expedition to Peru and the
Amazon with Kincorth Academy students.
Initiated as a community youth charity by 3 Churches (Church of Scotland and Roman Catholic) Blue Horizon is responding to the issues of youth disaffection and anti- social behaviour at school and on the streets of Kincorth and Cove. It has formed strategic partnerships with Grampian Police and Kincorth Academy 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. This is providing a mobile youth centre, café facilities and street based activities for the area in the evening. The Bus runs 3 nights each week: Monday (Girls night), Thursday and Saturday. It visits 5 locations between Cove and Kincorth, and a schedule can be obtained from the office or in the local Academy.
Family Worx: Our services providing parent support and education have been running for over 3 years.
New Horizons: Three Peru trips have been accomplished, and a work party is being organised to go out in October 2011.
Thanks to all those who helped and and attended our recent Fundraising day at South St Nicholas Church. We are pleased to announce that throught this venture we raised over £1100 for the work of Blue Horizon.
We are currently seeking funding to employ a second Youth Worker to work alongside our current staff team.
We are also planning a Work Party trip to Peru in October 2011, please contact Elmer for more details.
