New Blog Banner
The Carnforth Hub Blog 'Whatever you want it to be' now has a banner designed by one of the young people.
Now we have moved a PC into the new centre from our drop-in room at the school, this work can be done more spontaneously.
Still no new kit though....
Also one of our groups has done some ground rules for use of this PC in open sessions e.g. give people some privacy when they are entering their passwords on SNSs etc

Tony Brown replied to Mildred Talabi's discussion Email marketing - how do you do yours?"Hi Mildred.
I currently use Awebber for my email campaigns.
It's a paid service, but after my research, it seemed to be the best option for me.
I also have a mail chimp account, but I have never used it.

Using Creative Assessment Tools for Practitioners at Attlee Youth & Community Centre, London E1
April 11, 2013 from 9:30am to 4:30pm
BackgroundOne of the challenges of assessment processes with young people is how to secure their involvement and active participation. Only too often assessment can become something that is ‘done’ to young people (or a form that needs to be filled in), rather than a dynamic process that puts them at the centre, something theyare involved with and have some ownership over.
