3	CYO update The new CYO is excited to of moved to the Corsham area. Looking through the needs analysis, it is a priority to get sports up and running, time to talk as well as a youth club. CYO asked if anyone could help set up the groups and to as around their contacts. CYO asked for any relevant contacts in general.
4	Grant applications The LYNMG were very happy with the grant and with the idea over all just a few things: The LYNMG would like to see the applicants accounts as well as Wessex community actions. The LYNMG would like to know exactly how many workshops the applicant is going to put on with the money and who the different workshops with target / include? The LYNMG would like to see young people invited who do not already engage within any culture or creative projects/ groups. A slight confusion around the few different figures of people – how many would be the maximum intake for the workshops? How will the workshops be advertised? Will everyone who requires it receive free transport? And will people from the rural areas of Colern, Lacock and box be invited?
5	Suicide Prevention Sheila is concerned about the number of young people that require access to suicide prevention information, support and guidance and are not / do not know where to get it from. There was a discussion around a phone app being developed and how this could work.
