Lounge update
The
Power Station has been undergoing some changes over the past year with
the help from Royal Bank of Scotland. LYPP has had its youth centre in
the vennel since 2000 and it was in need of dramatic change.
Young
people helped choose a new colour scheme and submitted idea's for
renaming the youth centre. In June we relaunched the new look building
as the Lounge. We were also able to upgrade some of our equipment and
furniture thanks to many generous donations from the public and various
other sources.
LYPP's big 20th
birthday
This summer LYPP celebrates its
20th birthday, It is quite a momentous occassion and one that we will
be celebrating in style with a host of events and activities.
It is also a time for us as an
organisation to look back over the past 20 years with a sense of pride
and thanks for all those who have been invovled and all the
relationships we have made with the young people over this time.
LYPP continues to go from strength
to strength and we look forward to seeing the project develop over the
next 20 years!
Jolomo's
gift to LYPP
(The print,
including white border, measures approximately 70cm x 70cm)
Linlithgow Young
Peoples Project is delighted that John
Lowrie Morrison better known as Jolomo has gifted distribution of the
above print
to boost our funds.
This
gesture is already making a huge difference to the work we do with
young people
in the
town and surrounding areas.
The
original painting was used by first minister Alex Salmond and his wife
Moyra
for their 2007 Christmas card and was put on public display over the
winter in
Linlithgow’s Tourist Information Centre.
The
signed
prints are on sale for £50 at three locations in the town: LYPP,
Visitor Information Centre at the County buildings and the West End
Gallery. All proceeds from
the sale
of the prints support the work of LYPP. Each copy, printed
with a
high quality finish (giclee) has been signed by Jolomo and comes with a
certificate of
authenticity.

Minibus
LYPP
has been without
a minibus since last summer, which has meant that we have had
to get
creative in finding ways to transport folk to various activities and
residentials.
In
January 2009 Linlithgow and Linlithgow Bridge Rotary Club came to
our
rescue by donating a refurbished 16 seater minibus to LYPP. The minibus
which
has been extensively refurbished is a great resource
for us
and we are extremely grateful to all those within the Rotary Club who
have
worked tirelessly on our behalf to make this happen.
Staff Update
We are delighted to welcome a new youth
and schools worker!!! Elaine Kinloch joined the
LYPP staff team in April and will be looking at developing new and
exciting projects in the youth centre and Linlithgow Academy. She is

education classes and working along side academy staff to lead two
princess trust groups.
