Last chance to get the ypi anthology
As you may already know, our founder has put together an anthology of discussions, poems and blogs posts to cement the Young People Insight Legacy as we say goodbye.
The launch was held in June and we have been sending out anthologies throughout the year to those who have been involved and directly engaged with YPI, as well as schools and community groups/organisations. There is only ONE box of the Young People Insight Anthologies left and once they’re gone, they’re gone.
If you’ve attended a YPI event, contributed to the blog or actively supported YPI in some way, please get in contact with our founder Shaniqua Benjamin at shaniquab29@yahoo.co.uk so she can send a copy to you. You don’t want to miss out on this special piece of history.
