Good Thursday afternoon to all from Bright Ideas Nottingham. I’m afraid The Network for Black Professionals’ Developing Intercultural Working Skills workshop on 8^th June 2011 is now fully booked so we are not accepting any more booking forms. But we want to thank everyone that showed an interest in this workshop.

The Get On Up film showing the event at the Hilton Hotel Nottingham on the 25th March 2010 is now available to watch on YouTube. This Get On Up film shows an event which brought together visible and non- visible BME community and voluntary groups with statutory and non — statutory organisations, also the film displays footage from BME community and voluntary groups made during a film making course as part of the Get on Up Project. These include Heri-kwetu, Muslim Women’s Organisation, Kamyabi Community Project and Nottingham Afghan Association.

The Nottingham Post has partnered up with Nottingham Building Society to give away a whopping £35,000 to worthy causes in your community! What’s more, charities and community groups who register in time could make our shortlist and be garunteed a slice of the £25,000 dream fun. This money could mean a huge difference. Register your worthy cause fast and turn your dreams into reality.

To register your charity, buy your Nottingham Evening Post from Wednesday, April 13 2011. Cut out the registration form,  fill out your details and pop it in the post – it’s as easy as that.

Remember places are limited and we can only accept up to 200 registrations. Forms will be counted on a first-come-first-served basis.

The closing date is May 11th, 2011.

We have been shortlisted!

So, – If –  you do buy the Evening Post Nottingham, please do fill your favourite community spirted organisation in, Bright Ideas Nottingham!

Hello all! This Monday Meeting is with Dan, who was the person that kept you up dated on the website with everything that was going off at Bright Ideas. However he has now left us to pursue his dreams. He was a key member of the team and we are all missing him already! We all hope he continues to create new Bright Ideas! He gave us a few last words before he left for the Monday Meeting.

This week’s Monday Meeting is with Jane, who was one of our eNerGy Squad facilitators.

Sadly, Jane has now left Bright Ideas Nottingham as her project has ended – She will be missed, and always remembered. She was always full of Bright Ideas for the energy Squad! We all wish her the best of luck for the future and thank her for all her hard work!
