Features 
Our latest local achievers are Daniel Wharrier and Rhys Sansom who volunteer for the Positive Futures scheme.
Positive Futures is a brilliant scheme which runs in conjunction with Sub 21and takes a developmental approach to helping young people fromdeprived communities steer clear of crime, drug and alcohol misuse and move forward in their lives. It is aimed at young people aged 10 to 19 and works with local shops in the community and the local police to and offers a variety of activities like cooking, bike workshops, football and skate workshops as well as dance and nail art. Positive Futures are based in Wallsend Boys Club and are open 7 days a week.
They were nominated by Lorraine Rochester who said "Daniel and Rhys have been giving up their time every Sunday for the last 4 months from 12-4 in the bike workshop. They work with young people aged 11-15 helping and teaching them how to take apart their bikes and put them back together. I believe if the people they are teaching were not involved in the project they would be hanging around the streets. Rhys and Daniel are just two of the many volunteer/ mentors we have but as they give up 4 hours of their time every Sunday I think they deserve a little reward for their hard work and commitment."
Daniel and Rhys will be attending the Newcastle United vs Derby game courtesy of NUST.
