The truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth...

"Youth work promotes young people's personal and social development, helping them learn about themselves, others and society, through non-formal educational activities which combine enjoyment, challenge and learning.
It is characterised by its voluntary nature, where the young person chooses to engage in an activity undertaken in their free time. It starts with young people's view of the world, helping them to develop stronger relationships and collective identities, respect and value differences, take control of their lives and develop a voice.
It is delivered via a complex network of providers: community groups, voluntary organisations and local authorities, in youth clubs and community centres, in parks, on the streets, in mobiles, in schools and further education colleges and many other settings. "

I hate the M11.

Today I had to travel up the M11 to Cambridge to a seminar on Health Plans for people with long term conditions.
I really do not like to travel up the M11. I mean two lanes for a heavy used motorway is silly. The venue did say that it had facility to have helicopters land, so maybe that would be a request I put in for the future !!
Would love top see the face of the finance department when the request arrived.
Anyway off my soap box now.

The seminar was at Chilford Hall and Vineyard. Such a great venue. You are in a huge old barn that is very well laid out and the service received was fantastic.

The day was spent looking at the need of a personal health plan for long term condition sufferers. I was attended by health professionals, social care professionals, patients and carers. Got to meet many people and gain some useful contact for my work with the young people that have CFS or ME.

The day finished at 3pm which gave me enough time to get back in the car and drive back down “that road” to Basildon in time for the penultimate session of the Uproject.
Presentation by the young people is complete just got to get them to the Hadleigh Youth Centre on Wednesday night to do their stuff and impress the JAR inspectors.
