A very good mate of mine Matt Calvert, the founder of Prospex and amazing youth worker has just gone self employed. He has a company called Mustard and this is what he says about it:

Mustard is an organisation set up and dedicated to seeing the young people of our world today look forward to a brighter tomorrow through creative and innovative ways that encourage, challenge and change lives through informal learning and experience. We inspire young people to believe in their own gifts and abilities, to better themselves giving them back the value they so very much deserve whist helping them reengage in mainstream society.

Spent a fair bit of time with a journalist from Bloomsberg the other week and the only bit that gets printed is a small question they ask on the phone a few days later! Anyway the article is here and went to print in New York. This was in relation to my work in North London with Prospex.

This is a terrific discussion starter that can open up subject such as self worth, value and letting go of the past to mention just a few.

It is a true story and you have probably heard it here is a brief summary:

A Briton living in Australia has agreed a bid of more than £192,000 after putting his “entire life” up for sale following a split from his wife.

Last night I had the pleasure of accepting an award from the Centre of Social Justice for Prospex where I am the manager of Youth services. It was a great honour and an inspirational night seeing the stories of other winners. More soon.

Now Knife crime is a serious issue and as part of my work at Prospex in North London we have really felt the effects of it this year. But the latest suggestion by the government concerns not only me but young people in general. The idea that all young people under 16 have a curfew stereo-types and in a sense criminalises all young people. This morning I asked a group of young people ow they felt about it and they said it just made them all out to be demons and trouble. People assume that just because they are young they are carrying a knife when they would never do so. We have to make sure that all young people do not get tarnished with the same brush.
