Last Saturday we held our
excellent Celebration of Youth performance event by young people and
exhibitions. You can read the story on our website http://www.surreyyouthfocus.org.uk/news/celebration-of-youth-2013 and in local
newspapers like Surrey Times.
This was followed by a Trustees
Board meeting on Tuesday evening at which we agreed to take up the offer from
Surrey CC to undertake the property management of the Woking Youth Arts Centre;
we have a number of requirements if this project is to go forward from
next April, but I daresay these can be met by Surrey CC.
Trustees also
confirmed our offer out to former West Sussex CVYS members to join Surrey Youth
Focus, and this offer is beginning to be taken up.
The social enterprise
now has its first employee – a disabled young person who has been retained to
do financial admin. She has been a volunteer elsewhere and illustrates how
volunteering can lead to jobs. We are beginning the search for at least 3 young
apprentices right now in customer care/sales. We have some £100,000 orders in
prospect. So something else to celebrate.
