Perth and Kinross's range of 'in bloom' volunteer groups have a long established role to play in helping keep greenspaces of our city, towns and villages appealing for residents and visitors.
Young people working with Alyth Youth Partnership (AYP) also volunteer to support Alyth in Bloom, and are contributing a listening post to be added to the burnside redevelopment to tell visitors about Alyth's past and present. AYP members are also working with the bloom group and the local community council to deliver a young placechangers programme, starting with building and installing sheltered benches in Alyth Square for a safe place for young people, and other local residents, to hang out together and be visible.
By identifying ways in which young people can contribute to the local area, and in turn where the town can better reflects the needs of its young people, everyone is able to contribute and the whole area benefits.
