FCA Yorks & Lincs Carer Conference a great success
February 17, 2010
After 10 months of planning, the FCA Yorks & Lincs Carer Conference finally took place on 26th and 27th January 2010, and proved to be well worth the wait!
The Forest Pines Hotel in Lincolnshire was outstanding and the event passed without fault. The first day of the conference included a number of presentations, including a talk by Pauline Stormont on Disability Services.
The evening entertainment went with a blast; everyone enjoyed a lovely three course meal followed by two fun quizzes, karaoke, 70's music and a 70's fancy dress competition.
A few sore heads arose the next day! After breakfast the conference kicked off with a presentation, and was followed by various workshops covering the subject of 'Safer Caring'. To end the conference five young people were invited to give them the opportunity to talk about their experiences of being in care. I am sure everyone who attended this conference will agree that we all enjoyed this part the best and we were very moved by what we heard.
Flowers and wine were given to all those that contributed towards the Conference and special thanks were given to Wendy Nicholson and Tarzan Almas for putting the whole Conference together. We now can look forward to the next Conference in 2012!
