Let's face it, most people who volunteer are passionate about helping people - but for some influencing social change is also important. Volunteering for a campaigning organisation allows volunteers to help make things happen for large charities. Find out what the grass roots activists get up to here.

Update on Training for social workers

Right ok the chances are that this event could be called 'R U Gettin It?' but hasn't been given the definate go ahead, needs to be passed by those young people that werent at the planning meeting this week.  Which is being held at Investing In Children Centre in Durham, as well as other time spent planning your own workshop away from these meetings.

The actual event in October is now being held at Sunderland Football club which isnt going down well with everyone being the Sunderland / Newcastle fans haha! Although should be good.

We're also getting a bit of training for a day in Grafitti art so we can design a logo for the day which at the moment would be; 'R U Gettin It?'  which should be cool and FUN.

So far the workshop Im delivering with another young volunteer is slowly developing into getting half of  the participatants to design a person one who volunteers or participates in activites and then the other half of the group design a person who doesnt participate /volunteer in anything.  And getting them to see the postives volunteering and participation can give to a young person.

Looks like the B'OSCARS could be happen again next year.  And Im helping out at a Barnardos FUNDAY on Saturday which should be FUN ha-ha!! Ok not that funny.
