The Wacky Forum have been given a grant from Aiming High to hold a conference for young people. This will be on Wednesday 6th April at Bulkington Village Centre. The Wacky Forum  members are planning the day and designing a poster. They have invited lots of people to have information stands and there is gong to be lots of things happening during the day.  

Sarah has been at New Ideas since August 2010 on a 6 month placement. She was due to leave at the end of January, but we are very pleased to say that she is not leaving and will join the team as youth development worker. Her main work will be in helping Jen work with the young people on the Wacky Forum.

There have been lots of changes at New Ideas in the last year. First we moved to a new office based at Exhall Grange School in Ash Green. This means we are now in the middle of the county not up in the North. It is now easier for staff to travel to different parts of Warwickshire.

Last July Susan  left and Denise Stokes became the manager. Lots of the old staff have also left and we now have a new team. The team work in a slightly different way but it means that we can work with people all over the county in ways that support them to be more involved.
