Values Education for Life

Values Education for Life is a registered charity that has worked with young people
for more than the last twenty five years, assisting them to develop their self confi-
dence, self esteem, a better understanding of who they are and the world they live
in.
This takes place within a developmental framework which encourages them to ex-
amine their values and emotions within an ethical framework based on ‘making
good decisions for the right reasons’.
We also encourage the development of empathy and consideration for others to-
gether with a sense of service to the community.
The young people who have been involved in producing this magazine have given
up part of their summer holidays, together with a number of subsequent weekends
in order to ensure its successful completion.
All live on the Camp Hill estate and this particular kind of experience has provided
them with the opportunity to find out more about their community and consider
ways and means of improving the quality of their lives within it. This is about self
help and not waiting for others to resolve local issues; it is about participation and
democratic process.
Above all, it has provided the opportunity for their voices to be heard and some of
their views and opinions to be listened to with respect.
I would like to take this opportunity thank Ron Ball, the Police Commissioner for
Warwickshire, for his help and support in making this project possible.
If you would like to know more about our work, or to join us as a volunteer working
with young people, please get in touch with our charity: together we can help young
people to find purpose in their lives and meaning to their existence,

In the two Barratt show houses we
viewed we were impressed with the col-

The first show home we viewed had
modern, abstract designs which are en-

company.

The 2nd show home had absolutely fan-
tastic features: - 3 large bedrooms, 2
bathrooms – strong colours and a char-
acter all of its own.

In this case the living room also pro-
vided the dining area, but the overall

12

size of the room meant that it didn’t
make the areas feel cramped. There was
easily space for a dining table and six
chairs, although an alternative would be
to use the kitchen area for dining, alt-

spare. The second floor bedroom was
huge and could easily provide sleeping
accommodation together with living
space to spare. This room would readily
provide the ideal ‘den’ for that growing

hough limited space could make this dif-
ficult.

The house was built over three floors,
which gave more space upstairs and this
home would probably be more appropri-
ate for a larger family where the growing
children need some space of their own.

The two first floor bedrooms were of a
good size and accommodated a double
bed or two singles with some room to

The rise in the number of new houses
will impact on the number of people liv-

amenities and services to meet these
needs.
