Homeless Voices will enjoy the official launch of their film and booklet at the Town Hall on Friday 5th February 2010, 1pm - 6pm. "You have a choice" will be screened at 2.30pm and 5.00pm Friday 5th February in the HMS Phoebe Room @ the Town Hall. This film was commissioned by Bournemouth Borough Council's Housing Solutions Team and written, filmed and edited by Homeless Voices, Film Junkies and the YMCA. A brilliant piece of partnership working and an exciting project for all who were involved. Homeless Voices will be available on the day to answer any questions visitors may have regarding the film or booklet. They will also be available for a big pat on the back as they worked so hard during the summer of 2009. The booklet and film are all about providing young people with the key information they may need when leaving home or thinking about leaving home. The emphasis is on prevention as Bournemouth Borough Council offer a mediation servuice called TUTI "Talk Us Through It." Homeless Voices will be taking the film and booklet round local schools and youth centers spreading the word about what can be expected if you find yourself out on the street, places you need to go, people you need to see and of course your options. Homeless Voices, know your choices. |
