Young people aged between 11 and 21 were asked about their experiences. Here's what they had to say.
A new campaign has launched this week aimed at raising awareness campaign around the opinions and experiences of young people about drugs and alcohol in the Shankill area.
Speaking to Belfast Live, Sarah Jane Waite, from the Greater Shankill Partnership said: "We are currently delivering a programme for the Executive Office under their Communities in Transition funding. It is a youth programme but what we have created is called Greater Shankill Youth Connects which is a network of organisations who work with young people.
"The young people were asked everything from 'how do you feel about drugs?', 'what do you think about the types of drugs?', 'what do you think about think are the most common?', 'what experience have you had of alcohol and drugs?'. We asked them if it is easy to access alcohol and drugs. On December 1, parents and the wider community have been asked to attend an event at the Spectrum Centre, to further delve into the issues.
