Mobile skatepark - launched 29th January 2011

So all the funding was secured, insurance issues ironed out, charitable registration achieved - and now Barnet Community Projects has its mobile skatepark. The equipment was demonstrated at a launch event, covered by the local press, on 29th January 2011.

This was a fabulous piece of work - bringing together the local safer neighbourhood team, young people, Barnet's youth and connexions service, Milly Apthorp charitable trust, Barnet Homes, BCVYS and the team at Barnet Community Projects - lead by Steve Neale.

Skatepark sessions will be run during February half term - by trained young people, who will lead the project. After Easter sessions will be available in other parts of the borough.

Great to be involved in the fundraising, publicity, infrastructure, capacity building and governance of this new project.
