As some of you know, we currently have many, many easter eggs in our stores that we were planning on using at our end of term Easter Egg hunt. Well that isn't going to happen anymore, so we had to come up with a plan..<p>
Going forward for as long as we can think of ideas, we will be running the following things for our members...<p>
<b>Every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday starting Monday 23rd</b><p>
We will be posting a challenge on our website aimed at our members. It may be a sporty challenge, a creative challenge or something just competely random! We will be inviting you to try and complete the challenge before the end of the following day, and the best entries judged by the NMYP young leadership team will win an Easter egg which will be deposited on your doorstep. We will also send details out by text mesage on the morning (please let us know if you don't want to receive these)<p>
<b>Friday meetings</b><p>
We are planning to continue Friday meetings virtually. We have come up with some great ideas (and been scouring the internet to see what everyone else in a similar situation is doing!) and believe we have some fun activities which can be done in the comfort of your own home. The idea of these is for eveyone to try and do them at the same time so we will only be revealing what we are doing at the start of the meeting at 6pm on the website. We look forward to seeing lots of you logging on on Friday to take part in this week's activity!<p>
<font face="arial"><font color="red"><b>Your ideas</b><br></font><p>
If anyone has ideas about challenges or Friday meetings please do let us know. It's looking like we might need to keep these running for a few weeks....<p>

To all the parents who have agreed to help out with our community support group. The core group (myself, Samantha Bailie, Steph Parry, Lisa Large and Sarah Selby)  started yesterday co-odinating and have so far responded to a few calls, ranging from prescription pickups, to delivering newspapers and shopping and (our favourite one so far) trying to source some choc ices for a delightful vulnerable 87 year old ! We are expecting a lot more over the next few days and will be starting to involve others as the need rises.<p>
We are very grateful to Hertfordshire County Council who have given us &pound;1000 towards our costs for running this and local firm Kestronics who have kindly donated some contactless card readers to allow us to take payment from others for things like shopping at minimum risk to our volunteers.
