Well, maybe not quite going

for gold, but we’re certainly running for something!

The Birmingham Black Country Half Marathon is starting

at British Waterways Canal Dock in Wolverhampton – and we’re going too! We’ve currently got around 5 plucky

candidates to do the half-marathon sponsored for the Brierley Hill Project! Fantastic.

All we need now is

MORE people!

In older news…the winner of the Christmas

Fayre treasure hunt prize money of £50 was won by Leeanne Massey who then donated it to the project! Thank you!

Finaly: we are about to start a partnership with Ground Work Black Country that will help and support our

volunteers lead by Niki with work on the graveyard, Roughly we are looking to work with some of our clients and

local people to run 4 sessions to make benches, fences out of the trees etc. The guys will get a certificate, some

boots and a waterproof jacket for taking part

If you want to know more about the graveyard and any other

special projects and actions we’ve got going then there will be a page on the website soon, so check back often!

until then take a look at what we do at http://www.brierleyhillproject.org.uk/whats-happening-now.htm

The website has recently been

updated and alot more information is on there for anyone too see, in the coming months we hope to make it even more

user friendly, add more information about projects and socail action, add testimonies and E-resources for Job

seekers, so please keep checking!

The Bhp Team

The Project has agreed with

the Job Centre that we need a better referral process. Hopefully, with this in place we can better support local

people with job searches, CV writing, and food bank.

So we’ve agreed that referrals will be made by phone.

Alison will email everyone in her office to advise them of this and that if they make a referral they need to ask

to speak to Stacey to arrange appointments.
Dont worry though, an appointment isn’t needed you aren’t

refered through the Job centre.
This is an exciting oppotunity and depending on how the service goes there

could be a paid possistion in the Future, keep in mind folks, our main concern is serving the Resisdants of

Brierley Hill.

Another quick few announcements: Afterschool’s club is still running 3.30-5 on Tuesdays and

Thursdays, The Food Bank is still open, and you can collect vouchers from Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB), and lastly

anything you want to know give us a call!
