The B Recommends guide starts here…

2 Apr

We asked our lovely B peer leaders to think about what makes a project or activity great for young women. They came up with the criteria below and have used this to create the B Recommends guide to provision for young women in Islington. If the project fulfils two of these it gets a Bronze B, a Silver B if four are achieved and a wonderful Gold B if the project meets all six of the criteria.

 

  • Is the venue easy to get to and accessible?

 

  • Is the project at an appropriate time and day/s of the week?

 

  • Is the session good value for money or free?

 

  • Does the project have good outcomes of the session like accreditations, development opportunities, performances, signposting or portfolios? 

 

  • Is the project inclusive and welcoming?

 

  • Is the project enjoyable and fun?

 

So if you’re thinking about getting involved in a project near you or want to take part in an activity very week, read the peer leaders’ reviews to find out what they offer young women…
