Each term we have a young person led committee.  The committee has a specific project with it’s own budget.  The young people are in charge and at least 2 staff members support them.

These committees help build confidence, essential life skills as well as skills that will help your chances of getting a job, like managing a budget or negotiation.

Here’s the committees that have happened in 2007:

Spring – Website Committee

A small group of YP’s who looked after this lovely website being created.  They had a whopping budget of over £5000 which they spent on a website designer, a lap top and a digital projector.

Summer – Fundraising Committee

This super dedicated group came from the ‘Challenge Toonspeak’ Easter Project.  They ran a ‘donate a quid bid’ and organised the sponsored fancy dress walk which raised £? for the summer show.

Autumn – Cabaret Committee

Since 2005, this group have organised the Christmas Cabaret where all the weekly workshop groups come together to perform a short piece and then we have a party after.  Last year, the committee’s treasurer, Kaylie, applied to young scot and got £500 towards the costs!
