Who we are?
Hello everyone. We are Aaron, Alex and Millicent from the Young People's Action Plan Project Team 2006-2007.
What have we been doing?
We have visited projects and organisations within the Sevenoaks District to find out what kind of activities they do for children and young people. We asked the members of the clubs some questions like:
When did we do this?
We started in October after some training sessions from Steve who works for Kent Youth. Some of the training we did included:
We visited projects and clubs at the end of November and beginning of December 2006 and once we had all the information, we made a PowerPoint presentation of what we found out. We were invited to go to a Cabinet meeting at the Council Offices to present our findings to the Councillors, which we did on 21st December.
Where have we been?
We've been to different clubs which cover most of the Sevenoaks District including:
Why have we done this?
We've done this to help Sevenoaks District Council monitor and evaluate the Young People's Action Plan.
What have we found out?
We have found out that most of the clubs we visited this time are for younger children aged between 5-12, although there are also many projects for teenagers running throughout the District. Most children from the clubs think that the volunteers are kind and nice. Most of the volunteers said that verbal feedback was the best way to monitor and evaluate the clubs. Most Connexions Personal Advisors deal with secondary school pupils but they also work with people who are not in school by working with other agencies like Housing Associations to find out where young people live and what support they need.
