The inclusion project at the Playtrail recruits young people aged (16-18 years old) to act as buddies for young people with disabilities. Buddies will have the opportunity to participate in a 8 week tailored training programme, which will empower them with the skills and knowledge to provide support to the young people with disabilities to get involved in different programmes/events across the city.
