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

Having had several new faces join Bright Ideas over the last few months, a well-deserved tidy and reorganising of the offices is underway. A new office for eNerGy squad and Champions of Change now have their own space, waiting for some desks and a lick of paint. We all eagerly await….
It is National Volunteers Week, and there are several events in the city to mark it. Bright Ideas will be at two of those:
Champions of Change will be in Market Square from 10-4 on Saturday 5th June; come and join us on our new sofa in our sitting room and talk about how Champions can help change the way mental health services are delivered in Nottingham. The event will feature entertainment and stalls from lots of city-wide voluntary groups showing who they are and what they are passionate about.
eNerGy Squad will be at Clifton Cornerstone on Friday 4th June for the Clifton Volunteering Day; come along to meet the eNerGy Doctor and find out how you could be part of an exciting group that helps people save money by saving energy in their local area whilst gaining experience of teamwork, organising and possibly a training course. eNerGy Squad are specifically looking for people to join them in Clifton, so if you are up to the challenge, come and find out more!
