Hi!

I'm Leo and this is my first week working on the Myplace bid because I couldn't come last week. I was told about it through some other voluntary work I was doing and decided to get involved!

It's a really interesting project and I like the fast pace of the meetings. I think it has to be like this partly because of the short time available to get it done though! This week we looked at the building itself-what we want it to have in it and what will be its main purpose. There was a lot of debate over what its main focus should be around; education and advice or fun. In the end we decided both were necessary for the place to be a success!

We then looked at the conflicts and possible problems we will have to get past with the bid such as whether to have lots of outdoor space or a huge building. At the end of next week Sarah is going to go into some secondary schools to find out what the young people there want which should help us work some of these things out!

It's fun doing this project and I'm glad to be involved!
