This session we have challenged ourselves to raise the bar and build on the quality of what we offer as an organisation. As part of our committment to raise the quality of experience for children and young people we will be running eight roadshows across the region.
The roadshows will create the opportunity to bring leaders together and offer updates and workshops from both a Regional and Headquarters perspective led by members of staff, key volunteers and external partners including Urban Saints and the Additional Needs Alliance.
The programme for each roadshow will include:

Update on the Raise the Bar Campaign
Introduction to the new Under 11’s Programme
Workshop on Delivering a Quality Programme
Update on Online Brigade Manager (OBM) Developments
Update for Brigade Training Officers on Youth Leader Training (YLT) Relaunch
Workshop on Working with Children and Young People with Additional Needs
Q&A Session with Staff and Key Volunteers

All those attending will receive a goody bag containing a range of resources and samples from some of our partners along with a sample pack containing activity cards for the new Under 11’s Programme. There will be opportunities to talk to members of staff and key volunteers on a wide range of matters and network with leaders both within and outside your Battalion/District.
There is a registration fee of £5 to attend which includes lunch and refreshments throughout the day. You can book to attend by clicking on the Eventbrite link below. The event page will allow you to book and pay your registration fee online and also provide details of the times and venue along with the full programme.
Registration is first come first served and there is limited availability so we would encourage you to book as early as possible.

Battle’s Over – A Nation’s Tribute
2018-11-11 | Sheffield
On Sunday 11th November 2018, the United Kingdom and its friends overseas will mark the day 100 years ago when the guns fell silent at the end of the First World War.
There are a number of opportunities to get involved, this is a chance for BB members to take part and pay personal and community tributes to those millions that gave their lives for their country or returned home wounded during or after the dreadful darkness of four years of War 1914 – 1918.
Full details of how your BB Company can take part in this unique historical and important commemoration can be found in the Battle’s Over Guide which is available to download here.
The Boys’ Brigade along with young people from the Air Training Corps, Army Cadet Force, Sea Cadet Force, and the Light Infantry Buglers Association are being asked to play the Last Post at more than a thousand locations across the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland. Specifically, The Boys’ Brigade is being asked to play at local Churches at 6.55pm on Sunday 11th November, followed by the ringing of the Church bells at 7.05pm (where your Church has bells and you can coordinate this with your Church).
The organisers are looking to publish a list of the locations at which Buglers will play the Last Post (and ring the Church bells) and are therefore asking BB Companies to register their participation by 1st July 2018. To register your participation please email brunopeek@mac.com with your Company Name, Church Name, Church Address along with a Contact Name, Email Address and Telephone Number indicating if you will be taking part in playing the Last Post and/or ringing your Church bells.
We hope to encourage as many Companies as possible to participate.
