GAVS’ Chair Martyn Coe has sent an e-mail to Peter Brooks to try to obtain some clarification.
GAVS will pass on Peter’s response to third sector organisations in Greenwich for your views when we receive it, and will keep you informed regarding further measures that might be undertaken together with the sector to respond.
If you have any questions or feedback regarding this matter please do not hesitate to contact us.
GAVS is working with the Council to help gather information from voluntary sector groups regarding positive activities for children and young people undertaken in Greenwich. Once compiled these activities will be promoted directly to young people through media like Facebook, mobile phones and various websites, hopefully presenting a brilliant opportunity voluntary sector organisations to promote their activities. This is one element of a statuary responsibility the council have to promote activities for young people (Youth Offer) which encompasses all organisations working with children and young people – public, private and voluntary.
‘Plings’ (places and things to do) is a national data-base which collects and shares information from trusted sources about exciting things to do and inspiring places to go for young people in their area.
Greenwich Council is facilitating the collection of local information to put into Plings database. The council will also promote this information to all young people in the borough through its various communications channels, such as its website, Greenwich Time and the What’s on Guide . There is more information about Plings on their website please go to http://about.plings.net/
To make sure your activities and events for young people are included you just need to pass on your information. This can be done in a number of ways:
If you need support filling out these forms or have any questions please contact Karan Seehra 020 8921 8415 or Sarah James 020 8921 2175. It’s important that information about activities and services is kept up-to-date – If you think the council already information on your activities please contact them on the above numbers so they can check their records.
