Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress of Bristol attend My Story Launch and Visit AYA Youth Bus


The Rt Hon The Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress of Bristol visited the AYA Youth Bus at Shirehampton Golf Club and met the young people involved in the youth-led My Story project, which was launched on Friday 30th January.

The young people's stories went online on the media rich, lucsious website at: www.mystorymedia.org

Young people were presented by certificates of achievement by the Lord Mayor. Friends and family also watched some of the stories created by the young people. The young people received bright goodie bags, with My Story hoodies!!



Rebecca Quansah from MediaBox was also there, as were Sas Bonser and Emma from South West Screen.

A big thanks to all the tutors who made the project possible- who I forgot to say how great they all were: Jessie Currie, Ina Hume; Megan Lynas, Tom Stubbs; Melvyn Ternan and Steven Tunn.

And big thanks to Emma Twyford and Ian Anderson at Avon Youth Association and Siayma Ahmed and Junice Buddington at Black Carers Project, and Deborah Holt who supported our involvement with the Roma.
