TASK<br />

TEAM KIT<br />

<strong>Eastlands</strong> <strong>Homes</strong> currently runs a Task Team made<br />

up of children aged 6-12 years old to encourage<br />

children to take pride in their local community, and<br />

to enable them to plan an active part in making<br />

their community a better place to live.<br />

14<br />

Children are rewarded<br />

throughout the year with<br />

organised trips and activities,<br />

providing they are completing<br />

tasks.<br />

Members of Street/Task Team<br />

are currently being issued with<br />

their own kit to enable them to<br />

complete tasks independently<br />

(supervised by their parents/<br />

guardians). The kit contains:<br />

■ Sweeping Brush<br />

■ Dustpan & Brush<br />

■ Children’s Gardening Tools<br />

■ Gardening Gloves<br />

■ Hi-Viz Vest<br />

■ Watering Can<br />

■ Flexi-Bin<br />

If you have children<br />

aged 6 – 12 years<br />

whom you feel<br />

would be interested<br />

in getting involved,<br />

You Choose<br />

Youth Forum members regularly<br />

attend an event organised by<br />

Greater Manchester Police<br />

Authority called ‘You Choose’.<br />

The event concentrates on<br />

issues that affect young people,<br />

the topics this year were:<br />

■ Domestic Violence<br />

■ Sexual Assault<br />

■ Stop and Search<br />

The workshops raise awareness<br />

about the topic and give young<br />

people practical information and<br />

advice about what they should<br />

do if they find themselves in any<br />

of these situations.<br />

The next ‘You Choose’ event<br />

will be held towards the end<br />

of the year.
