ALG Meeting – Friday 1st May

Video: Hamish discussing potential project ideas in the area of sustainability with Ardoch Youth Foundation.

Aims:

• To report back on the research we’d done into potential project areas (sustainability, sick children and the homeless).
• To narrow down our options or ideally decide on a project idea.

After discovering (courtesy of Adam and Ling Sing) that the Starlight Foundation had the fun activities for sick kids area covered and deciding that a multicultural garden may not be thinking as big as we wanted to, we settled on homelessness. Ralph did a lot of research and found that the Brotherhood of St Lawrence we very keen to work with us on a project that would develop the confidence and skills of homeless people in the Carlton area as well as ensuring they had a safe place to go and fun things to do.

Follow up:

• We have a meeting with BSL next Tuesday where we will discuss potential project ideas.
• After the meeting we should be able to decide whether to partner with BSL and begin the planning stage of our project. If not, it’s back to the drawing board (or a tiny whiteboard in the law library discussion rooms, as the case may be).
