- Hull Libraries have held activity sessions, led by young people for young people, on the Teen LifeCheck and new books on health targeted for young people have been added to library collections.
- An Active Play and Team Building event was held at Albert Avenue Pools in which 36 young people took part in team building exercises including water polo and raft building. Alongside the water-based activities, young people gained an insight into health topics from the Teen LifeCheck website through the provision of a health fair. Advice was also available from health and fitness professionals supporting the event on issues such as healthy eating, dental hygiene and alcohol abuse.
- A Bollywood activity day at the Community Enterprise Centre on Newland Avenue introduced Teen LifeCheck to young people as part of the day. All who attended were able to experience Indian culture through activities such as Indian cooking and Bollywood dancing - and still had time to do the Teen LifeCheck and discuss what they thought about it afterwards.
- A LifeCheck game has been produced for use in children's centres, youth centres and schools. The game, developed with the assistance of the Cornerhouse young people's sexual health charity, is a useful tool for youth workers and young people to discuss issues such as sexual health and healthy relationships, and risky behaviour such as drug abuse.
One young person commented: "I often worry about my health and get embarrassed to ask people about things that are bothering me. I have been on the website and would use it again to get advice and information."
