Community Panel

Hello everyone!

The Community Panel meeting for July took place on Wednesday. It was well attended by young people, parents and grandparents.

Events included ...

• an interactive activity with one of our role models, we looked at positive and negative things that we could each relate to personally and talked about them

Discovered jobs in journalism with Sarah who has been a journalist for london newspapers including the Sun, Mirror, Sunday Sport - she has worked with Daniella Westbrooke and other celebrities.

After having cakes and drinks we had an interactive workshop where we could get advice on being a healthy teenager and eating healthy foods as well as exercising regularly. As well as this we got the opportunity to look at the affects of drink driving - we put some special goggles on that changed our vision, we then had to play with a remote control and avoid obstacles - this was very difficult! We looked at lungs and discovered how smoking can affect our bodies and much much more ...

For parents, Tackling unemployment were to hand to provide information on getting back to work.

A big thanks to all the agencies that attended to help make the event a success!
