COPING WITH THE CUTS – IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR ALL SECTORS
 

Many of you will already be engaged in discussions around the ongoing and imminent public sector funding cuts. It is widely acknowledged that these will have a significant impact on the provision of public services in the city, and no doubt we share very real concerns that they will have a disproportionately adverse effect on our most vulnerable citizens.

The richness of Jamaican culture in Birmingham is to be collated and preserved thanks to a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF). The award of £41,900 will allow Digbeth based, community interest company Aspire4u to run the NYAM project with Birmingham residents.

Dates: Monday 9th Tuesday 10th Wednesday 11th Thursday 12th August 2010

Aims of the workshop:
• To make settings aware of the benefits of healthy eating • Participants to understand the impact of different kinds of food on our lifestyles • To introduce fun activities for children using food

These surgeries are organised by Podnosh with funding from Be Birmingham to help local and voluntary and community groups to use social media to improve the work that they do. You are welcome to drop by any time between 6pm and 7.30pm where you'll be able to find friendly, informal help from one of our social media surgeons.
