Olivers and Ambers Youth Clubs

Thu, 07/01/2010 - 16:26 — editor

Olivers Youth Club and the Amber project are based in the Whit Lane area of Salford. They target young people of the area Ambers for the very young and Olivers for the teen agers.

They are really sucessful at engaging young people that wouldn't normally go to youth groups. Some of the events they run are drop ins sessions at Oliver's Gym and the Amber hut, bike rides to Blackpool, camping trips, fundays, cinema screenings etc. As a treat to the young youth workers they also went on a trip to check out Glastonbury festival. Some of the videos below give you a flavour of what they have got up to.

big chin rub

Contour Housing are planning to involve different groups across the country in one big philosophical conversation, and we will all be talking about the same subject! The question is top secret at the moment, but will be revealed to facilitators on the first day of the Big Chin Rub festival on 12th July.

You can register your interest by emailing the team with your name and details of your group, school or
organisation  and we will send you out a pack with everything you will
need to make your Big Chin Rub a huge success!

The festival takes place 12-16th July 2010 so you can hold your event any time during this week. They will be asking all groups to post their final thoughts, ideas and conclusions back here on this website.
We’ve also got a film crew covering some of the events so if youre interested you could be lucky enough to be chosen to be on the BIG CHIN RUB film!

TESCO - a rip-off???

Tue, 25/11/2008 - 16:01 — editor

About two weeks ago I went into the Tesco store in Salford.
(If you don’t know where Salford is it is part of Greater Manchester Metropolitan Area.)

I must have an anal retentive memory but the previous day I noticed
that there was a large box containing potatoes, each bag costing 78p.
Today’s price was £1.50 per bag!
