Wider Impact Director Edwin Lewis and Staffordshire Libraries & Information Services District Manager, Karen Yoemans (pictured centre) were delighted to formally thank the Norton Canes Libary Youth Ambassadors during a presentation of our indepenent evaluation of the Big Lottery funded Norton Canes Library Projects (see link http://www.widerimpact.com/november-2012-wider-impact-deliverers-an-independent-evaluation-of-a-local-library ).

As will be noted at link http://www.widerimpact.com/september-2012-wider-impact-listens-to-young-people the commission also involved researching into the feasibility of the formation of a Youth Advocates Group.

Key to the success of the research has been the involvement of the volunteer Youth Advocates, a number of whom (pictured) attended the multi-agency presentation evening.

Edwin says, ‘The Youth Advocates should be proud of their achievements, and we are really grateful for their involvement in the commission. They are a credit to themselves, their school (Norton Canes High School) and their parents.  We wish them well, and are confident they will continue to do well in their lives’.
