The miserable Radiohead provide us with our lyric link and computer are very much the issue. HVA are having a new server fitted by our computer boffins so we are off line temporarily. Also, my home computer got kind of ill a few days ago and is now in computer hospital being repaired so all blogging activity is being coordinated from work.
Monday morning was a quick update with everyone, a communication meeting + visit to the printers with John HVA's Information Worker. This was followed by a pleasant conversation as members of the team we folded and despatched the monthly newsletter. This was followed by induction meetings with the new coorindator of the Childrens Centre and the Health manager from the PULSE project. I will blog in detail about PULSE as a seperate item as it is a really interesting health initiative which HVA were instrumental in helping to create to improve health outcomes for young people under 25 and has brought in over £2m worth of funding to Hastings during its lifetime. Anyway we are looking towards equipping groups of young people with skills and qualifications to become peer mentors as part of the LEGI programme and we discuss how this might work. Seems to me common sense dictates that young people will probably prefer to get information from other young people and all the research backs this up. There is a really good group of volunteers doing workshops in schools etc which we might expand on - we shall see.

Thought a reply was a good idea for a few reasons.
Computers - don't you just love 'em! It common problem up and down the land and one I hope the VCS is beginning to tackle.

Do you know Mark Walker at SCIP in Brighton? He's the South East Regional ICT Champion.
Must be a thing about music - I sometimes give my posts song titles too!
