First of all, Happy Easter! Hope you enjoyed a chocolate filled day! If you don't celebrate, then Happy Normal Sunday!
Anyway, we thought we would bring you up to speed with things.
Wednesday 31st March was our first ever photoshoot. It was great fun and a new experience for us. We were filmed by GwirVol, which is a partnership made up of senior representatives from organisations with a key interest or involvement in youth volunteering, which was also pretty exciting.
Our photographers for the day were editorial member, Jazmin Williams and CLIC Admin Assistant, Gareth Aled John, who mainly worked on the behind-the-scenes side of the day. We also had our fantastic make up artist, Bethan Jones, who studies make up in a college in Cardiff. Editorial members had their make up done before going on location in Treorchy Comprehensive School.
It was the first ever photoshoot we had done and we have learnt a lot from it. Hopefully we will have the opportunity to do another one in the near future! Photos will be posted on our Facebook soon, so keep an eye out.
In other news, we recently went out around Pontypridd town to deliver surveys asking different people what they already knew about LGBT and what they were and were not aware of. We plan to go around Aberdare, Treorchy and Porth to deliver more of these surveys, so if you see us out and about and are willing to fill in a survey, come and say hi!
Our logo competition closed on 8th March and our winner, Nicki McDermott-roe, received a £20 iTunes Voucher and her design will be used for Bridges RCT. Check out the winning design here. Congrats, Nicki!
If you wish to get involved with Bridges, check out the Facebook page and follow us on Twitter. We welcome anyone to the editorial team with open arms and even if you're straight, you can still participate if you feel you want to raise awareness of LGBT bullying, etc. There is a message button on the Facebook page which you can use to contact us about any questions or queries. We have a lot planned for the year ahead and would love to have you on board!
See ya real soon!
