Rank Placement The youth team will this year be taking part in the Rank Foundation Community Action Placement Scheme. The scheme gives a young person the chance to work with a youth project in a different community to which they live. Many of you may remember Lucas who came to us in 2006 and stayed with Hazel and John Brennan who kindly gave him accommodation and helped to make his stay very enjoyable. This year our placement will be arriving on Monday 7th July and will be staying until Friday 18th July and she is called Danielle. In order for this placement to go ahead we need accommodation for Danielle while she is in Normanton (certain expenditure will be covered by The Rank Foundation). If you can help with this please contact Gavin before Sunday 6th April 2008.
