You're also looking at doing school<br />
programmes. What can you tell us about that?<br />
Well so far, we’ve visited three schools in May this year and<br />
that was just a basic breakfast programme that we had set up.<br />
A couple of us have experience working with kids and our<br />
subject is something that we see is lacking from the<br />
curriculum. In the future we're going to aim for it to become<br />
something that can be used as a resource for schools, so<br />
something that we can also sustain ourselves from. So in<br />
terms of money, that's what we’re looking to do because<br />
there's a lot of funding for alternatives to the curriculum. We<br />
see it as a really practical way to engage with school kids and<br />
let them know what is going on and how they can get<br />
involved with making positive change outside of school. It’s<br />
about trying to be honest with them about the problems but<br />
not burdening kids with the situation that we're in.<br />
Community outreach is at the heart of what we’re doing.<br />
Is there anything else that you want readers to<br />
know about?<br />
From September we’ll be back in Bristol, planning what<br />
Skipchen should be doing next, how it should provide for the<br />
people of Bristol and also how it should tackle political <strong>issue</strong>s. BV<br />
