New Project Worker appointed for the North East
In May 2011, Hope UK appointed Dr David Bass to be our part-time Local Project Worker in the North East of England. He says, “I worked for 10 years in challenging secondary schools in both Nottingham and the North East. For a couple years I coordinated PSHE for years 7-9 (11-14). I found it disturbing that a significant proportion of the pupils had smoked, been drunk (some regularly) and maybe even taken drugs, some at Primary age! It was even more worrying that a significant majority really had no idea of the dangers and effects of drugs and alcohol!”
