Hi, my name is Hannah Fisher and I work for Bury Youth Service as the Youth Advice and Information Coordinator. You can usually find me in the public area in Connexions on Broad Street, Bury – if you’re in Bury you can pop in to see me!
Bury Youth Service provides a range of information service to help you get the advice you need.
We’ve got seven information points in Bury, the central one is based at Connexions on Broad Street, and the other six in Youth Centres across Bury. Each point has access to the internet; friendly and helpful trained staff; leaflet resources that can be taken away; and computer programmes that can help you decide what you want to do with your future, help you write your C.V., and give you information on life issues, as well as providing activities you can get involved in.
For more information on your nearest point you can ring me on 0161 253 6345 or go to the home page and click on the map to take you to your nearest point.
