2 BBC Children in Need - Waterside theatre funding information session
BBC Children in Need is hosting a funding information session in the Waterside Theatre to explain our current funding opportunities and to give interested parties a chance to talk specifically about a project to one of our staff.
Right now BBC Children in Need is funding over 200 projects in towns and villages all over Northern Ireland with grants totalling over £11m. These are projects working with children and young people who need a bit of support in order to get the best out of life. They may be sick or living in poverty; they may have been abused or neglected, have a disability or be dealing with other challenges that the groups we fund can help them to overcome.
This year because of the generosity of everyone who donates to the charity, over £3.5 million will be spent on projects working with disadvantaged children and young people here in Northern Ireland.
If you would like to attend the funding information session on 22nd May in the Waterside Theatre, Glendermott Rd, Derry/Londonderry BT47 6BG from 10.30am-12.30pm please get in touch with Siobhán McKenna – Siobhan.McKenna@bbc.co.uk / 028 9033 8221

Once the Hovis® team has received the applications, a panel which includes an external independent judge will assess and rank every entry according to the following criteria: inclusivity, community and Live Good’Ness.
The judging panel will then select the three highest scoring entries. These three finalists will automatically win £1,000 each, to spend on the projects they have highlighted in their application. The finalists will then make a short video explaining what they want to spend the £3,000 prize money on. At that point, the general public will be invited to vote for their favourite video online.

5 Free Leadership & Civic Representation Programme: She believed she could, so she did
Please note deadline to make contact is TODAY
Your chance to nominate young women aged 18-25 from your charity for a free leadership and Civic Representation Programme
To mark the centenary of the Representation of the People Act 1918, the Department for Communities in Northern Ireland is holding a series of events throughout 2018 to mark this momentous change in voting rights. it has been 100 years since women first got the vote and there can be no doubt that female representation has come a long way since the Suffragettes. However, there is still a long way to go in balancing the numbers of men and women leading the way in politics, business and communities.
To reach out to young women, a bespoke two-day leadership and civic representation programme 'She believed she could, so she did' has been designed, with specialist input from the William J Clinton Leadership Institute, to mark the centenary of the Representation of the People Act 1918 and National Democracy Week 2018.
This programme will be delivered on 30-31 May 2018 in Derry/Londonderry and 6-7 June 2018 in Belfast and is primarily designed for young women working or volunteering within the Third sector/ community and voluntary sector.
The programme will build an impressive set of skills that will open up opportunities, encourage change and growth in participants' own lives and build capacity for support amongst their networks. It develops skills that pave the way to more leadership and representation roles for women in the future.
What happens next?
There are only a very limited number of spaces available. If you have five young women aged 18-25 working or volunteering in your organisation that you would like to nominate for this programme, you should:
-
Register your organisation’s interest in either the Derry~Londonderry or Belfast programme to pamela.carson@politicplus.com by Wednesday 9 May 2018
-
Successful organisations will be drawn and notified by Friday 11 May 2018
-
The organisations must then provide the names of five attendees aged 18-25 by Wednesday 16 May 2018
-
Due to the cost and limited numbers, participants must be committed to attend the full two days of the course.
If your organisation is interested but concerned that you may not be able to fulfil the criteria outlined, please contact us to discuss on 02890 521021 or 02890 521541 before Wednesday 9 May.

21 Shake off the winter blues in search of spring blues
Guided bluebell walk at Prehen Wood, Sunday 13 May
Native bluebells are bouncing back – a quintessential sign of spring and a natural remedy to shake off the winter blues. They’ve been delayed by the cold weather but, according to the Woodland Trust, reports are now suggesting a glimmer of blue.
The Trust wants members of the public to enjoy some flower power this month and recommends a visit to one of its precious urban woods. From Throne Wood in Belfast to Prehen Wood in Derry-Londonderry, our urban gems are brightening landscapes and improving wellbeing1.
Prehen Wood, a Woodland Trust-owned bluebell wood right on the doorstep of the city, ticks all the boxes.
This is one of Northern Ireland’s rare and irreplaceable ancient woods, dating back as far as 1600. It rustles with history and wildlife, with birds including the sparrowhawk and long-eared owl. And the visiting chiffchaffs and willow warblers are currently singing their little hearts out.
Spring brings a vibrant array of woodland flowers, including lesser celandines and wood anemones. But the most spectacular treat is the sea of shimmering bluebells decorating the woodland floor each May.
Walkers are invited to see the show for themselves thanks to a guided walk on Sunday 13 May at 2.30pm. This popular annual outing is led by members of Prehen Historical & Environmental Society and local wildlife expert Christine Cassidy. To find out more call 0330 333 5302 or visit www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/events
The UK is home to half the world’s population of bluebells. The Woodland Trust wants people across the country to take part in its Big Bluebell Watch – a nationwide survey to monitor the status of native bluebells. Find out more and add your sightings (up until the end of May) at woodlandtrust.org.uk/bluebellwatch
