Exciting times at Tweeddale Buddies (yes, that's the name we're going by these days!).
Sorry for the lack of writing action over the last month or so - it's been full on as we get our people and programme in place to make sure TBB is up and running as quickly as possible.
You need to know we have the very talented Karen McQuaid in charge - she's our new Project Co-Ordinator and since she was appointed just a few weeks ago she's been working her socks off!
Tonight Karen and I interviewed our first tranche of sessional workers - more of that in a few days - and there's another set of interviews next week. We're literally building a bank of sessional staff who share our values and vision - that all young people in Tweeddale have the opportunity to participate in their community and to contribute in their own unique way.
Karen is also busy planning our training programme for staff and volunteers, and next week we're starting planning sessions for families.
Along with Tweeddale Youth Action, we're planning a busy programme of activities for the second half of the summer holiday period - more on that very soon too. If you've offered to help us in any way, you should have heard from us - if not, please bear with us. We're grateful for all the offers of support and help and we will be in touch. If you're VERY keen, please make contact again to chat over your ideas or needs.
It's all adding up to a massively busy time, but we believe it will be worth it...hope you'll agree!
