Well first things first, who am I? My name is Nathan Cadogan and I work as a Development Officer for Active Citizenship and the Volunteer Centre at BVSC. My main focus has been around Youth Volunteering. Youth Action is and has been my passion. I am lucky as my work involves the promotion and creation of opportunities for Young People, a job I am passionate about.

I have heard of VCS Matters but not been involved in any of the work behind the agenda, so I guess I'm an outsider, hmm, or am I?

This headline in last Friday's Metro caught my eye.  The article revealed that: 'One in seven children struggles to write their own name or say the letters of the alphabet after a year of primary school, a Government study reveals.  42 per cent of children could not write a shopping list, while a third failed to recognise simple words like 'dog' or 'pen'.'

VCS Matters is looking for volunteer bloggers to write on our website about their experiences working with children and young people in voluntary and community organisations.  Training and support provided.
