Programme Name: Bluebell Estate
  Programme Manager: Maxine Watterson

Programme Description

The Bluebell Estate programme officially launched in July 2004 with the establishment of the local steering group, which includes representatives from the Bluebell Residents Association, KMBC Community & Youth Service, various elected councillors, members of the police force and representatives from Groundwork.

In 2004 the programme secured NRF funding from the local authority to enable initial development, specifically a piece of youth development work based on environmental activities which will enable the young people currently engaged to be in the loop of the programme whilst working towards building their capacity.

In August 2005 further to funding from the NRF and Knowsley Housing Trust, Brian Cullen was appointed Youth Works Manager for Bluebell.
