September is Older Persons' Month!
September is chosen as Older Person’s Month for Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland each year. A series of events aimed at ‘Listening to Older People’ will be taking place across the county throughout September. The launch takes place in Leicester on 26th August.
Voluntary agencies, emergency services, health and local authorities will be joining forces to engage with older people in their own communities, providing information and advice on what services and activities are available, and listening to their views on services in their local areas. More »
To request a booklet (booklets), help with distribution and publicity, or just to get more information on what is happening, please contact Liz McGregor, Engagement Officer for Older People, at CVS Community Partnership, Beaumont Enterprise Centre, Boston Road, Leicester LE4 1HB

Funding Success for Youth Cafe
In March 2010 the young people, youth workers and the Deputy Clerk had regular meetings and discussions with the young people who attend the Friday night Youth Drop-In Café and all worked together to complete an application for funding for a skate park, multi use games area, a youth shelter and funding for youth workers to be able to open the drop-in Café for a further evening.
We applied to Leicestershire Youth Bank requesting funding of £14,600 from the Youth Opportunity Fund and £50,000 from the Youth Capital Fund. More »
On the 24 March we received notification that they had received over 100 applications and that ours had been shortlisted and we were invited to present our application to a panel of judges from Leicestershire Youth Bank on 9 April 2010.
The young people produced and practiced their presentation in the Council offices before the presentation date. Helen McNulty – Senior Youth Worker and Sue Coulson – Deputy Clerk to the Council transported the young people to Leicester to present their application.
On the 15 April we were notified by Leicestershire Youth Bank that the application had proved successful in part, we were awarded £7,850 from the Youth Capital Fund for a youth shelter and £10,650 to fund three part time youth workers to open the Youth Drop-In Café on a further evening during the week. « Less
