This is a very exciting time for me with the ActivEyes project starting to find its feet. We sent out 400 Questionnaires to VIPS in Wolverhampton and so far have received around 70 replies from people telling us what they would like to do, Some interesting ideas included Parachuting and Karaoke, not really for me as I don't like heights and I am tone deaf, but hey I will try anything once.


On the 26th of August we will be holding an ActivEyes forum at the centre 7.30pm which will be very constructive and hopefully will see ActivEyes gather even more pace.


Until I Blog again stay safe and enjoy the weather (ha ha).

The New Beacon Centre is starting to take its shape. The new buildings are getting bigger and bigger and some of them even have a roof now.  Our services are still running uninterrupted at our site and today we are all enjoying a bit of sunshine for once. 

In other news, the Second Site appeal raised its first million. Everyone is thrilled. It’s an amazing landmark and brings us even closer to our target of 2.5million.  We couldn’t have got where we are today without everyone who brought a brick or came along to one of our events.  Next stop 2 million!

The work is proceeding incredibly quickly here at our site. To start with it's all been about dismantling and taking apart the old buildings but now we're beginning to see new things happening. The foundations are now in and the walls are being started. Exciting!
