The new BevenTEEN Bulletin, created by moi!

The first edition of the BevenTEEN Bulletin has been finally completed and is now on its way to the printers.

I had the idea for a young people's group in Bevendean to create a newsletter for the other young residents. I got in touch with a local youth worker and we set up a group.

This will be a mini-edition, while we search for funding to buy equipment (laptop etc) to then have the tools to create a proper full edition every 3 months. We have also set up a blog http://beventeenbulletin.blogspot.com/ to keep people updated in between editions.

The bulletin covers anything and everything from issues in the local area, art, agony aunt issues, local services in Brighton, to national issues and services, such as tips for exams, relationships and substance misuse.

We welcome feedback and ideas to keep improving the newsletter!

The Grocer

Worked at B2B mag, The Grocer, where I subbed a lot of pages, wrote news pieces, interviewed businesses and wrote features.

Some were published in the 25 April 09 edition, which included a news piece that they also featured online here : http://www.thegrocer.co.uk/articles.aspx?page=articles&ID=199332

Will scan my subbed and written pages in when I get the chance, and I will be working there again soon, so will hopefully have more published.

Published work in The Leader newspaper

Piece I wrote about the high rate of repeated suspensions in Surrey schools. I had to contact the Conservative Party as they were the ones who found out the information, and I also contacted the Surrey school press office for their side of the story.
Researched Labour's reaction and obtained quotes from enough sources to get a more balanced story.

Check the story out here:
