A number of EYPs from the Coventry and Warwickshire networks spent this weekend exploring the joys of campfires, pizza-ovens, and shared Tipis near Hereford.

As well as learning more about finger-knitting, Tai Chi, and of course each other, the EYPs also had time to experience the simple enjoyment to be gained from living in the woods, going for walks and sitting calmly appreciating the sun!

Breaking up the more restful and calming activities though, the first part of Saturday afternoon was dedicated to learning about Aspect’s work and our role in supporting EYPs. There was no doubting the instinctive and immediate agreement with the results of Aspect’s survey into EYP views, the anger with the status quo, or the need for much more awareness of the role of EYPs nationally.

The EYPs agreed that only with a strong independent voice will EYPs ensure they are really heard on the national stage.
