With just a week to go, all at SAFE@LAST are looking forward to showcasing our fantastic work at our national conference 'REFUGE@LAST' on Wed 5 May 2010 at Sheffield City Hall.
We will be proud to invite guest speakers and workshop presenters on a wide range of issues relating to the work we do with vulnerable young runaways who have been thrown out, abused, bullied or for other distrubing reasons.
The conference will also focus on our unique practice relating to emergency accommodation for the most vulnerable and at risk children through our refuge provision. We are now the ONLY provider of a childrens refuge for young runaways in the UK - we have the ONLY 2 BED SPACES! Our SAFEPLACE refuge that was launched in April 2007 has undergone an independent evaluation and through this conference, we hope to disseminate our good practice. We have lost count the number of times we have been asked by all sorts of organisations about our work and in particular our refuge service, so we thought what better way to give people an insight and to hopefully inspire them and share with them our learning in getting a better deal for young runaways.
2010 marks SAFE@LAST's 10th year anniversary, another good reason to share our learning.
Please consider booking on to this conference or at the very least tell others who work or volunteer in the childrens sector about it - definately NOT TO BE MISSED!
