Say No To Consett Incinerator

The Say No to Consett Incinerator, is a fabulous example of Social Action - where the people of Consett have all united against the proposal of an incinerator being dumped in the heart of their town.

An amazing song!! Con Dawg n Crew are showing all young people how they can use their creative talents to make a stand for what they believe to be right.

Odin's Poems

As part of our digital inclusion programme, we are open to all kinds of suggestion of help from the members of the community. Odin has been to quite a few of our sessions, and we have helped him in all kinds of ways to get reconnected. This week I was personally delighted that he brought along some poetry that he has written, to share with us, and asked for our help to digitise.
