Just a quick report/update on todays meetings.
The first with a local cllr who works for both the local and county council. He phoned me only last night asking to meet for a chat about some possible funding. It was quite a shock. Hes offered us £500 which is amazing. The only problem is i am not a resident in his ward but because the campaign reaches all wards he is going to try and get the council to agree. It will take a couple of weeks but he seems hopeful and will let me know.
The second was with SASH (which i believe is Somerset Association of Secondary Heads) basically headteachers from schools in Somerset. It was very brief but i got a 5 minute slot to speak. I planned it all yesterday, got up there, and forgot it all! I managed to get through it and my old secondary school head was there so he promted me on some important points i forgot. All in all it went well though, a possitive response. Its just a case of wait and see now. That was the people at the top so a good meeting to attend.
Thats the latest!
- Stand Against Violence
- Taunton, Somerset, United Kingdom
- Stand Against Violence is a campaign started in 2005 after the death of 17 year old Lloyd Fouracre. When returning home from a friends party he was brutally beaten to death by 3 teenage boys. Shortly after Lloyds brother Adam began a campaign in his brothers memory The aim of the campaign is to reduce violence. Adam started working with local schools by giving talks and presentations to groups of pupils and also became involved with PSHE programs. As time went on Adam decided to produce a film re enacting his brother’s murder in an attempt to educate pupils. The aim for the film is for it to be used in citizenship programs and, if appropriate, PSHE.
