POSITIVE CONTRIBUTION
Despite the frequent characterisation of young people as
trouble-makers, huge numbers of our young people are actively
making a positive difference to their local communities and
beyond.
All young people have the ability to improve the lives of
others, be this through offering support, inspiring others to
achieve, or passing on their skills and knowledge.
Our initiatives within this field have been designed to allow
our young people to support friends, family and the wider
community through peer education opportunities, as well as
developing a strong sense of self through wider community
engagement and voluntary action.
Charity Night
On Friday 26th June, at a glamorous evening of entertainment, we
marked the end of an era and waved goodbye to Teen Idol.
Contestants, winners and Teen Idol supporters from across the
years gathered in the Parklands Theatre to enjoy a night of
nostalgia and first class entertainment.
The night, which was designed as a celebration of everything
“Teen Idol”, although tinged with sadness, was also a
much-deserved showcase of some of the most talented participants
we have been lucky enough to witness over the past five years.
The fabulous singers were supported by the super dancers from St
Julie’s High School and their choreographer Ms. Jo Roberts, and
the show was compered by Sky Television presenter Steve Walls,
who kept the whole evening moving at pace.
There was added purpose to the evening as all the proceeds from
the event were donated to Claire House, and a cheque for £1600
was presented to them in September.
Cheers, tears and a much-deserved standing ovation greeted
performers at the end of the show as secret plans were discussed
to reveal the next era of talent spotting at the CLC.
Everybody Online
In our technology driven world, it is important that everyone
understands and has access to ICT.
Alongside partners from Include, Mersey Broadband and BT, we
teamed up with Everybody Online to deliver awareness raising
initiatives for residents in Liverpool 8.
Everybody Online is a national community development initiative
that promotes social inclusion through technology.
Our programme involved groups of Year 7 students becoming
teachers for the day! Parents, Grandparents, carers and extended
friends and family from the local community were invited to the
Shorefields CLC for a hands-on technology session delivered by
the clued up students.
The students worked closely with the residents to help them
overcome any barriers they had to computers and the internet,
and took them through simple workshops to help empower them to
embrace technology in their everyday lives.
The days were a tremendous success, allowing students an
opportunity not just to pass on their skills, but also to form
closer bonds with the wider L8 community.
