New 18 – 30 Programme - New Name coming soon!! The development team responsible for developing the ‘New Programme’ have been working very diligently over the last few months. They are a great group of people to work with, and we have all learnt something new from each other. They are also linking in with other areas of the organisation for example ‘International’ with Suzanne. With that in mind we have agreed on a calendar of events from now until Christmas. The calendar focuses on a number of components of the programme. September 2018 International Opportunity to attend Helen Storrow, Seminar 2019

Cancer Care Packs /Homeless Shoeboxes The 18-30’s Development Group are co-ordinating with all the Regions to participate in a community based initiative to create Cancer Care Pouches or Homeless Shoeboxes starting in the month of October. This idea of community action initiatives is part of our new programme to get involved and make a positive impact in our communities. This is open to everyone, all sections/units, leaders and adult helpers. The idea is to make Cancer Care Packs for both men and women who are undergoing cancer treatment or to create Homeless Shoeboxes for distribution in your Region. Both of these initiatives are very important. For more information on what your Region is doing make sure to get in touch with them!
