Call out for Local Theatre Makers & Youth workers
The Point and David Glass Ensemble are keen to engage with local practitioners with a strong interest in working with young people to join us on an exciting new project which uses theatre and creativity to empower young people and give voice to the voiceless.
Renowned teacher and founder of the Lost Child Project, David Glass, will be leading a three-day introduction into the Lost Child Practice, which will launch a future Lost Child Project to happen in Eastleigh and surrounding areas over 2021/2022.
Workshop dates 1st, 2nd and 3rd June – This workshop is free of charge, and will take place at The Point, Eastleigh.
It may be that you are able to attend as part of time spent in your existing role. If, however, you are a self employed freelancer and this would constitute additional work for you, The Point is lucky to be able to offer limited bursaries to compensate you for time spent training. Please contact me if this applies to you!
Please share this opportunity further if it might suit your colleagues or people in your network. Interested parties should reply to me to let us know they’d like to take part.
We are limited to just 7 spaces, so be sure not to miss out!
If you have any queries at all, do get in touch – I look forward to hearing from you.
All the best,

Workplace Covid Testing
Do you have 10 or more people working in your organisation?
You can pick up lateral flow tests for them to do at home or in the office.
Lateral flow tests are very quick and you know within 30mins if you are positive for COVID-19. If you do test positive, you would isolate immediately and go & book to have a standard PCR test at a testing centre.
With as many as 1 in 3 people not having any symptoms regular testing is an important element in the fight against the pandemic.
Your organisation will need to register.
For further information please click HERE.
If your organisation has fewer than 10 employees, please use he lateral flow centres in your area.
For more information about these or any other matter re community responses to covid, call us on 023 8090 2400.
Criminal Record Checks
In your organisation, do you have contact with children or vulnerable people? Then you should have a DBS check done for you and those who work with you.
There is a really useful website HERE with all the information to hand- hold you through the process of criminal record checks.
