Youth Action Team eVolve earns Keyfund Stage 1
Ice Skating and Winter Feast

When Youth Action Team eVolve was asked to come up with an idea for us to do as a Social, we got into a group and discussed what and where we would like to go... oh yes not forgetting eat also!

We researched our ideas, such as finding out prices/times/locations and whether it would be suitable for all ages. Once this was done we got together and presented our ideas to the group, there we had a vote on which we would like to do.

Ice-Skating proved to be the most popular so we went along with that; we then checked out restaurant prices and whether we could get a group discount. We opted for Gourmet Burger Kitchen in Canary Wharf.

With the involvement of some members in the group...Kelly took the initiative by doing a Powerpoint to be presented to the Key Fund panel of our social. On a Monday evening we got together and went through the presentation. We then presented to the panel who was impressed at our work...we answered their questions and it proved to be an success as they awarded us the money!! So ice-skating here we come!!

Once we got skating we warmed up pretty quickly and was having a great time on the ice. After ice skating we decided to eat the restaurant they had at the rink as it was much closer. The restaurant was indeed stunning and decorated beautifully with silver decoration and lights which made it feel like you was in a glitter ball, it was decorated with round tables and silver chairs.....the food was good! We enjoyed it.

The social was a success in where we made the best of it and enjoyed each and everybody's company!! Key Fund Stage 2 'Here We Come'!
