It’s fantastic to see Martin Glynn being celebrated.  Bright Ideas and Martin have worked together numerous times including the I Believe I Can Fly and Get On Up projects.  Well done Martin!

There are two reports below, one about Martin receiving his award and the other a press release from the Winston Churchill Memorial Trust who awarded Martin a Travelling fellowship to produce some research in Baltimore (USA).  This was part of a research project centering around issues of fatherlessness amongst young men.

How about that, a slot in the Evening Post.  Great exposure not just for Champions of Change, but for awareness of mental health in the city.

A belated good bye and thank you to Andy, who has been working with us for the last few months.  He has been a fantastic and vital part of the team and has really helped with producing materials and sorting out some systems as well as being part of the team organising the Champions of Change launch.

A big thank you for all your hard work and we wish you all the best for the future.

An exciting new opportunity for South Asian Women.  The flier is on the Get On Up page here.

The launch was fantastic last Thursday.  Pictures are on Flickr with a few more coming.

If you were not able to be there, you might want to watch the short animation made to begin showing what Champions of Change is all about.
