The Empowerment Hub project continues apace at Westgate with more members becoming involved at different levels and with different activities as appropriate.  It's a great team effort partly funded by a Sussex Community Foundation grant and by the efforts of the members themselves.  A great example of the Oyster way of working.

The outside path finally gives out, preparation for relaying the original bricks is underway, thanks to Genco for coming to our rescue!
Time and moisture seal the fate of the old kitchen units, the area stripped ready for new units to be installed prior to the back door being replaced due to rot.

Press release re AWARE project

26/9/2014

0 Comments

 
With disability hate crime in the public eye disabled people in Lewes, East Sussex have taken the initiative against it and set up a year long project to educate and connect victims with local police officers working in this field.

And with funding from the Sussex Police and Crime Commissioner Katy Bourne the AWARE project will deliver two drop in surgeries each week where police officers, PCSOs and hate crime specialists can have direct but informal contact with the disabled community.  Each surgery is at community cafes run by the Queen’s Award holding Oyster Project charity based in Lewes.

John Russell, founder and trustee director of the disability self-help charity said: ”We knew our members were vulnerable as many of us, including myself, have experienced disability hate crime.  We can’t tackle it alone so we decided to create AWARE and liaise directly with local law enforcement officers and specialists on a regular and social basis.”

It is thought that this is the only project of its kind i.e. initiated and delivered by disabled people, in the country.
