A fortnightly look at community action, presented by Ian Breach and Ann Hunter Derry ...
City divided by conflict, home of the civil rights movement where community initiative has always been strong. With unemployment way above the national average, the Derry Youth and Community Workshop offers 100 unemployed young people training in new skills, whilst placing equal importance on their control over workshop decisions. Thin is Beautiful?
Approximately one in every 200 teenage girls suffers from anorexia nervosa- obsessive loss of weight. We look at self-help groups for the sufferers of this distressing illness, where shared experience of the disease leads to recovery and understanding.
Also a very special kind of play-ground in central London for handicapped children.
