February
The young people from Coleg Cambria's decorating department came to brighten up The Hub with lovely new colours. Our building was transformed. Thank you!
Mike Dodd from Flintshire County Council delivered a great social enterprise workshop and we had a visit from our local Assembly Member, Hannah Blythyn.
Alison Hulmes from BASW (British Association of Social Workers) visited us and invited KIM to deliver a workshop to their National Conference in Cardiff, which we did in June.
March
We held KIM's Co-Production Day with Mark John-Williams at the Holiday Inn in Northop, attended by 105 people.
April
We had great news from The Steve Morgan Foundation who kindly gave us three years funding for EVOLution, our volunteering support and development project.
The Co-Production project at Greenfield Valley started producing the Wellbeing leaflet.
May
We settled in at 'The Spoke', KIM's new outreach office in the Luke O'Connor Resource Centre in Hightown, Wrexham.
June
We went on some outings; a theatre trip to see Priscilla at Theatr Clwyd, a cinema trip for young people and we went to Storyhouse in Chester. Everyone traveled to the venues independently and a great time was had by all.
BBC Radio 4's 'All in the Mind' presenter Claudia Hammond and her sound engineer Pam visited KIM to record a feature after Hannah nominated us. We went on to win the 'All in the Mind' Community Group category and went to the ceremony in London. The award was presented to KIM by Dame Kelly Holmes.
