Great Giveaway

Hello everybody. How was the resi? Was the food any good? and by the way theres a lot of sheep in Duram.

For anyone out there who is a member of SCVYS or a statutory youth group who do not receive funding apart from for workers then this blog is for your attention!!!

The Great Giveaway Grant panel has decided to offer you another chance to get some money from the grant scheme. Application forms are available from SCVYS office on 01785 240378 and new guidance notes should be available very soon.

The new closing date for applications will be January 31st 2007. All applications received will be reviewed on the 4th February 2007. So as usual a very quick turnaround...

We look forward to hearing from you!

well, we had the agm meeting a few days ago! it was really good but really quite scary! there was alot of people there, and i spose we did manage to take up a whole row!
we had to stand up infornt of everyone and tell them all the things we had been doing over the past 12 months! it took us ages to figure out what to say and how to do it! hee hee....i think we did quite alright though :D

i cant wait for the next 12 months to do loads more :D
eeeeeekkkkkkk!

xx

wow I have a blog!. lol anyway.

We're going to the SCVYS-AGM-thingy tonight to do a presentation to the SCVYS people. To...well...present what we've done over the past 12-18 months -ok so i haven't done a thing but I'm a newbie, so I'm excused :p- we're also going to present our ideas for the future. Tonight should be, interesting, to say the least.

And I don't care what everyone else thinks. I say that the cowboy 'logo' is rubbish. And that they should let me design a new more professional one. It may not be as random, or as 'fun' and it may be more serious and boring. But stil, no one would be able to say we aren't professional and we wouldn't look like morons walking around with a cowboy on our t-shirts or a cowboy on our website.

On the 4th of July the greatgiveaway grants panel is attending the SCVYS AGM meeting and doing a presentation (which is pretty scary) and saying what we have done over the past (and first) year.

Well, just like the last residential Barry, Kirsty and I managed to get some sleep... thanx peeps, well for the 3 hours anyway!

We now have 5 new members of the Great Giveaway Grant Panel and they are just as hard working and dedicated as the others (and as mad).

Oh and Ollie, thanx for the tour!

We are all looking forward to the new year and the opportunity to help other voluntary groups across Staffordshire, so, if you know of any who would want some funding for resources, training or membership then pass on their details to Barry so that they too can benefit from this fantastic project.

Following the last meeting (12/3/06), the group have decided to run another residential. This time the venue will be Coalbrookdale Youth Hostel in Telford, Shropshire (Tuesday 30th May 2006 until Thursday 1st June 2006).
The aim of this residential will be to evaluate what's happened with the project so far and create the timeline for next year.

The other major aim of the residential is to invite new members to come along and take part in making the decisions on who gets funding in the next round.
We hope to see up to 10 new members at this residential, so if you know of any young people who would like to take part, why not drop us a line...
