Tidying things up

Today was a lot less exciting than yesterday, it was mostly spent tidying up and calming down all the stuff that was produced frantically yesterday, updating contact sheets, clearing out all the old drafts of documents, the sort of stuff you employ a PA to do...

Having said that, this afternoon Melita made a most interesting discovery - there is a project going on in Bristol right now that features a historic building, youth consultation and redevelopment into a youth facility! Not quite the same aims as our project but still very useful to know about (and learn from).

This is the Old Fire Station, in the centre of Bristol, soon to be 'The Station', up-to-the-minute youth hub for all things young.  They found out in February that they were going to receive an whopping £5.75 million grant to redevelop and fit out an old station building into a youth facility.  I think we can definitely learn some lessons here!

It's also a leading contender for a Go&See - its not too far to get a minibus to from Langport, its at an interesting stage of the development (it won't be completed until 2012, but exciting things are happening already), and My Place who are in charge are very experienced with working with young people, hopefully they'll agree to let us have a look and ask some questions! Hooray!
