THE TRUTH BEHIND THE HOUSE OF LORDS !!!!!!

We found the house of lords an interesting opportunity, to hear the views from the youths of the united kingdom. The issues debated were something that we go through everyday. There were three issues debated, celebrity, the youth in the media and the culture of mistrust that surrounds the young of great Britain. The overall agreement in the debate was that the youths were badly represented in the media. Almost everybody got the opportunity to speak, I myself (David) raised the issue how the media represents young people during and after exams i.e. when students get good grades the media claims that exams are getting easier.

It was an amazing experience and we would encourage volunteers out there, if presented with this opportunity to go for it.

A hands on experience at the green machine allotment!

The Green Machine volunteers along with Alia, Matt and Gordon (our jedi master of wood working) had a fantastic day at the Green Machine Allotment on Saturady 27th.

The salad plants have grown loads and there are potatoes popping up all over the place, plus the rhubarb is still doing well (Alia picked some so more crumble on the way!).

We also planted some more fruit bushes so by the end of the summer we'll hopefully have a berry feast with the blackcurrants and the strawberries we planted early June.

If you'd like to join in, get your hands dirt on the allotment or find out about other Green Machine Projects then get in touch with Alia or Matt at MYVP on 0161 228 0459 or email them at greenmachine@myvp.org.uk
