    Clasp Wokingham
    They will be celebrating their 10th Anniversary in July. They are holding a
    party also they are doing 10 things for the community for people that
    have supported Clasp over the years, for example litter picking and

    Their funding has been agreed for the next 2 years.
    Listen to us this group trains new support workers, sports coaches and
    in September they will be going into schools.
    They have a hate crime reporting centre
    They produce a newsletter written by members
    Once a week they have a coffee shop open run by volunteers
    Kingston Advocacy Group
    A fifth advocacy group is starting up in Staines this week. Other groups
    are in Farnham, Guilford, Redhill and Epsom
    They have produced a DVD with Surrey Police about Hate Crime. This
    will be available nationally with a booklet
    Kent

    improve the connection between children and adult services.
    Skillnet Group hosted a big gathering where we made our own great

    What are your 3 big issues?


    Transport we talked a lot about travel passes not encouraging people
    to work as not being allowed to be used before 9.30am
    Employment people are still not getting the right support at the Job
    Centre
    Health still need to address the complicated forms and information
    that are given out.
    Other news:
    At our regional meeting we looked together at this report and we thought it
    would be good to make it easy read, use emoticons to answer questions and
    have specific questions for each member of the region such as:
    If you had more funding what would you do with it?
    Has your funding changed?
    How many people do you support?
    What improvements have been made to your organisation?
    Do you know of any other possible members?
    Also if we are using the action plan then we could ask specific questions on
    those areas.
    We thought it would be good to ask the same questions to all the regions so
    that data could be analysed.
