WSCVYS logo


The e-bulletin for voluntary and community organisations working with children, young people and families in West Sussex
                                                                                                          
January 2012 

 




A very happy slightly used year to you all, and welcome to the first WSCVYS ebulletin of 2012.  As always, I hope that you will find something of interest here.  Do please continue to send me  your news and views - it is always good to get some feedback for our efforts.

A midsummer date for your diaries - the WSCVYS Annual General Meeting 2012 will be held on the evening of Wednesday 20 June, neatly sandwiched between the Queen's Diamond Jubilee and the Olympic Games.  We hope to see many of our WSCVYS members and friends there.  More details - venue etc - nearer the time.

Best wishes, Gail
