Old clothes collection earns £440
The old clothes collection earned
Durkar an amazing £440- quite
literally money for old rope! In view of
this success another collection has
been organised for the 19th May.
Chris is bringing a bigger van so
please everyone make sure you have
an extra big clear out and ask all your
friends for their old clothes and
shoes too. You might get some funny
looks but this is a seriously easy
way to earn lots of dosh for the
club.
Part of team C4CC helped our Charity
Aid2Africa by Abseiling down Fort Dunlop,
all 33 metres of it!! and raised nearly
£1000. What a Team!!
In the past we have been involved through
our registered charity in a number of
sustainable projects.
In essence each project is one where after
the initial funding, the project generates
sufficient income to replenish itself and
produce a profit.
We have established poultry and piggery
projects in Zimbabwe in the past as well
as the cultivation of land to grow Maize.
In Kenya, last year, we cultivated 2 acres
of land with Maize and beans. The yield as
re-cultivated the land again this year and
the profit was the equivalent of 10% of the
annual staffing costs of the school.

TRAINING &EMPLOYMENT
Nearly two-thirds of young offenders are unemployed at the time of arrest.
Youth crime – links to unemployment and educational underachievement
Source: The Prince‟s Trust
The study, called the Prince's Trust Macquarie Youth Index, found young
people were twice as likely to self-harm or suffer panic attacks if they had
been jobless for a year.
About one in six respondents to the survey said being out of work was as
stressful as a family breakdown, and one in eight said unemployment gave
them nightmares.
Half of young people seeking work said visits to a job centre made them
feel ashamed, and more than half said that job-searching had left them
feeling disillusioned or desperate. (OATS informal local communal job clubs!)
The study showed young people who were not in education, employment or
training were less happy across „all‟ areas of their lives.
Martina Milburn, the charity's chief executive, said the longer young people
were out of work, "the greater the risk".
Job hunt = Feelings of 'shame'
The Prince‟s Trust Business Programme offers financial support and mentor
advice to help disadvantaged young people to start up their own businesses.
After 12 months, 96 per cent of people supported through this programme are
still trading or in alternative employment, education or training.
The taxpayer‟s bill for benefits– £20 million per week.
Trust‟s flagship 12-week programme of personal development training, aimed
mainly at unemployed young people. In 2005-6, 60 per cent of unemployed
participants went on to jobs, education or training on completion of the course.
Get into . . . is a short course enabling young people to boost their confidence
while gaining work experience in a specific industry sector. More than 50 per
cent of young participants are in full-time work three months after they have
completed the programme.

We need a team to push, kick, bite, scratch for EVERY job

Mr Hunt also said he believed the UK should learn from Asian cultures
where there was "reverence and respect for older people" and
"residential care is a last rather than a first option".
It is a source of "national shame" that as many as 800,000 people in
England are "chronically lonely", Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt has
said
“TEEN – AGERS”
"Some five million people say television
is their main form of company"
"If we are to tackle the challenge of an ageing society, we must learn from this
and restore and reinvigorate the social contract between generations

„ONLY and Lonely‟
•Older people are particularly vulnerable to social isolation and loneliness owing to loss
of friends and family, mobility or income.
• Social isolation and loneliness have a detrimental effect on health and wellbeing.
Studies show that being lonely or isolated can impact on blood pressure, and is closely
linked to depression.
• The impact of loneliness and social isolation on an individual‟s health and wellbeing has
cost implications for health and social care services. Investment is needed to ensure that
voluntary organisations can continue to help alleviate loneliness and improve the
quality of life of older people, reducing dependence on more costly services.
• The range of interventions for alleviating loneliness and social isolation can be grouped
into one-to-one interventions, group services and wider community engagement. Those
that look most effective include befriending, social group schemes and Community
Navigators
Preventing loneliness and social isolation
among older people
Overall potential savings outweigh the costs
of delivering befriending.
Case study: Providing companionship and emotional support
Oxfordshire Befriending at End of Life (OxBEL) is run by Age UK Oxfordshire
and receives funding from the Department of Health and the local primary
care trust. OxBEL currently has 60 volunteers, who have undergone
comprehensive training and receive on going supervision and support
from paid volunteer coordinators. The volunteers provide one-to-one
befriending to adults of all ages, who either have a life threatening condition
or are at end of life.
Befriending can last for a matter of weeks, months or many years. This free
service is currently focusing mainly on those on the End of Life Register, who
are referred either by health and social care professionals or by themselves.
The charity‟s latest annual survey among its service users
demonstrates the profound difference that this social group
scheme makes:
• 95 per cent have made friends with the volunteers
• 86 per cent feel less lonely
• 83 per cent now feel part of a community
• 61 per cent feel more confident
• 22 per cent see their doctor less.
