Castlefield
Challenge a success
The
Castlefield Challenge, the major funder of SKIDZ
to date, ends in March 2002.
As
reported in the Bucks Free Press, in the 5 years
of the Challengešs existence Castlefield has
gone from being the highest crime area in High
Wycombe to the lowest. SKIDZ has been acknowledged
as being an important part of the reason for
this dramatic change.
With
the end of the Challenge also comes the end
of the SRB funding. New funding is being negotiated
but any help in securing alternative sources
will be gratefully accepted.
City
& Guilds accredited courses
This term has seen the start of the first NVQ
course we are running in partnership with Haydon
Training. More courses will start as students
enroll.
During the Summer term 10 of our students achieved
success in City & Guilds motorcycle courses
and one of our instructors, Gordon White, passed
his C & G teacher training course.
Wycombe
Business Excellence Awards
SKIDZ
was voted a finalist in the Performance through
People category. This award was for organisations
that were seen to be providing high standards
of support and training for their staff.
Summer
Holiday Courses
This
year SKIDZ was able to provide more than double
the number of courses during the summer holidays
than last year.
Many
of these additional courses were possible due
to funding from the Connexions service. Young
people from the Youth Service, church groups
and community groups had the opportunity to
experience some of what we could offer and many
have joined courses this term.
