Happy Easter everybody!

What an Easter it is, it'll be my last easter at home and my parents, even after 7 years of requests (yes, i'm counting!) STILL havn't bought me a Galaxy Easter Egg....ohwell, always next year I suppose. 8th time a charm... apparently?

Anyway! Campaign news!

I've recently had my head everywere about the goals I've wanted to achieve with this campaign and decided, to have a sit down with myself and refine my aims and ambitions. So, after much thinking and lots of coffee, my goals are as follows;

- Nationalise the peer-to-peer mentoring scheme throughout all schools in the U.K., peer-to-peer mentoring is a successful way to have people our age talk about our problems! It's a great way for people who know whats going on, to provide support and help - but only a few schools have this system in place. Cybermentors has recently been launched by Beatbullying, which is similar to this, but based on the Internet - having it in schools will cover all ground!

- Have controls and legislation implemented to reduce the prevelance of Cyberbullying

- Have firm clauses implemented to deal with serious cases of Cyberbullying

- Produce the theatre production for schools to be presented at the Arc, a date has been set, the stage is being laid and the actors are getting ready - In June, we will provide a show for 1000 pupils from different schools within the Tees Valley area, if it's a big success, maybe more?

- Make the campaign Trans-Atlantic, this is because most Networking and IM companies have their servers based in the US, any changes in law and legislation in this country wont impact the servers in the US.

So... How close am I to fulfilling these goals?

Well the theatre production is ALMOST finished, just sticking scenes together and getting people off script! Which is great progress!

After meeting a lot of useful contacts at the recent Battlefront Event in London, I'm hoping to work closely with the government to achieve the other goals! So, progress is great!

On a local level, I'm currently awaiting the £2500 pounds worth of funding to come through into the account so I can start to mass-produce leaflets/flyers/posters on Cyberbullying to distribute throughout the local area and pass onto other Y.A.T teams to distribute in their areas - maybe YOU will be seeing a flyer soon in your area!!

So times are great, exam revision is brilliant, the campaign is making leaps and bounds in terms of progress.

... Bring on the future?

Kindest Regards
Al Henderson
