Well Deserved Winners !

You may remember in this post back in August I mentioned the Rumbles Catering project. Well, I was so pleased for them on Saturday night when they were announced as winners in their category of Best Education Project at the National Lottery Good Causes awards on BBC1.
Rumbles is a cafe project within Vicar Water Country [...]

Vote!

Quick post kept separate from my BB31 posts.
Rumbles - my local community cafe is in line for a lottery good causes award. Please vote if you feel this is a cause worthy of winning in the category.

That my friend is progress

Done!
Yesterday in glorious sunshine at the fantastic Genesis centre we held the last of the ICT Hub’s series of regional conferences - a point of reflection, but a time to look forward too. Since March 2006 we have visited eight towns and cities (Newcastle, Liverpool, Reading, Chesterfield, York, Cambridge, Walsall and Taunton) and welcomed almost [...]

Did you hear the one about …

Like being at the pub or on the train where you overhear conversations, in the blogging world scrolling through your Bloglines feeds you pick up on others conversations, posts and good stories. So today rather than posting my thoughts (it would only be about the ICT Hub Ops Group meeting anyway, although EmTee did [...]

12 December 2006

Today was a “Metro 10 page day” - thats how much of the Metro I can digest in my 15 minute train journey from Chesterfield into Sheffield, pretty average really. (As of today there is water in that cascade they have taken ages to build, and they have finally found a way to strip the [...]

Neighbours - surely miles from the national hubs? No!

Yes, some would say we are … what is a national hub doing at a local Voluntary Sector Forum Conference and AGM ? What is the relevance to us? Perhaps some people still don’t “get” ChangeUp ?
We, like the other hubs are a national partnership of charities that have come together to deliver a [...]
