Eddy Group

FBEC students have been working with Durham Constabulary’s “EDDY” group for many years.

The aim of the group is to educate young people so they are better equipped to make good choices, they will acquire knowledge, skills and qualifications that improve their life opportunities.

Our young people gain a sense of Community, conducting positive activities within local communities to assist others. With this they feel a sense of achievement and belonging, alongside demonstrating to others that young people can play a positive role within their local communities.

Activities are designed to reinforce education and community goals. Confidence building, teamwork, communication and learning new skills all help to develop the young person’s potential.

Year 8 students have been taking part in many exciting activities and trips this year, including a visit to Durham Gymnastics Centre, rock climbing, the Locomotion railway museum, various horticultural activities, litter picking in local parks, and lots of other exciting adventures.
