CHYP IN
News about the CHYP IN NetworkNCVS and partners have recently been reviewing the number and role of the groups and forums we run to enable the voluntary and community sector to come together, keep up to date with the latest information and participate in Newcastle’s Children’s Trust. Our aim has been to come up with a simpler way for voluntary and community groups of all sizes that work with children, young people and families to get involved and stay informed. A power point presentation given at the CHYP IN event on 12 March includes a diagram of the new CHYP IN Network and during the next few months we will be developing the CHYP IN web page so that it becomes a better resource for the sector and using the ebulletin, NCVS e-inform, to keep voluntary and community groups informed as the new network develops. In the meantime if you want to find out more about the new CHYP IN Network please contact Pam Jobbins or Martin Gollan Partnership, Policy and Projects Officers at NCVS.
