1. Membership
It was agreed on 08/06/2015 that the Voluntary Sector North East Group would no longer nominate a representative to attend the Strategic Youth Alliance but rather that each Hub Cap should seek a representative to attend all meetings. It was agreed that Paul Fletcher (A&M Scotland) should represent the Springburn Hubcap at the SYA. A substitute representative needs to be voted upon. Lisa Donaghy agreed to email information with regards to this around the group with a vote to be held at the next meeting.
2. Funding
Bolt FM & Brunswick Youth Centre, Toonspeak and A&M Scotland were all awarded funding from the SYA on behalf of the Springburn Hub Cap. Streetwork will continue to be funded centrally as before, operating a coordinated approach that is open to any experienced youth providers. PYP will coordinate the streetwork, contact Liz for information.
An additional £2,080 has been made available for a joint employability project. Lisa agreed to circulate information regarding this before the next meeting.
3. Evaluation
Colin Campbell is collating different monitoring/evaluation methods used by the various organisations in the Springburn Hub Cap. Lisa to email a request for m and e templates.
4. Meeting Schedule
The SYA agreed that Hub Caps should now only meet four times a year. It was noted that members of the hub cap are able to organise meetings additional to this if they had something to discuss or felt it was necessary to have an extra meeting. Lisa confirmed that all hub cap members must attend 75% of the hub cap meetings to remain eligible for funding. Lisa also confirmed that the hub cap chair meetings are set to change and to speak to her if any more information is required.
