Glasgow Community Award
Almost there!
Everyone has done really well with their sessions and the participants have enjoyed learning from you all. You should all be really proud of your achievements so far.
We will have to review all of the community achievement award folders and make a final push to make sure all of the blanks have been filled :
-
Evidence records for activity log recording (page 11-22) add dates in each section, review what you have added and update anything that is missing.
-
Evaluation (page 23 & 24) – everyone needs to complete this once they have completed their 3 activities- “A reflective account of how the activity went including any changes that had to be made , what you gained from undertaking the award and what other people gained from you taking part.” – can you have a think about this over the weekend and maybe write something down before you come on Wednesday.
-
Next steps (page 26) – this needs to be completed by everyone-, “my next steps will be to:…”

Enterprising
Can you have a think of some ideas for our enterprising this year.
It doesn’t have to be massive ideas (so don’t over think this) it’s just ideas that will potentially generate more money than you originally put in.
If there is anyone new and unsure what this is for, money raised can be used to purchase items for the youth club for things we think would be useful but also to generate money to contribute towards the group to have a day or evening out. Mount Vernon Community Hall donates the initial £100 payment, and we are looking for you to use your creativity, ideas to try and double the money.
We had a few entrepreneurial activities last year let’s see what this year brings. You all are vey talented and have lots of ideas we want to hear them.
