Crafty Friends 7 - Summer

What a scorcher of a weekend - hope you are all enjoying sunshine or shade.  I was out yesterday on a Taster day with my son Michael for the National Citizen Scheme - what an amazing programme that is, one week residential in Thirsk then one week at camp at Brighouse (not far from here) then one week of 10-4 and coming home each night where they work in teams deciding what voluntary work they will do in the community then wk 4 will be carrying out that work - all for an amazing £50. I think l paid full price as some had paid £35 but l think it will be the best £50 ever spent, this includes all transport and food - amazing. If you have a 16/17 year old and live in the Yorkshire region l think there are places left . At the end there is a graduation and a signed certificate from David Cameron - all can be added to  a future CV too.
