Welcome to the blogging site for ’To The Power Of 10′. Live blogging started on the 2nd September at an event for young people. People could also tune into 97.5 kemet fm for the live radio broadcast.
The event was held at the Nottingham Council House, on the 2nd September 2011, at 1pm till 4pm. It gave the opportunity for 13-25 year olds to put their questions and concerns to key decision makers. It was a booking only event and we had a full house in the Council Chambers where the event took place.
At the event the panellists made a number of pledges. This blog will keep you up to date with what has been achieved and related activities.

BBC East Midlands have expressed an interest in filming at the event so if you can’t join us and you are near a TV, make sure you check out the lunch time and/evening news. Let’s hope they make it.
Of course we will definitely be live on 97.5 kemet fm – our favourite, number one urban radio station.
And it looks like it went really well! Well done! Where are the follow up comments you mentioned? I’m really interested in any feedback.
We are currently recruiting for the leadership course for young people: Power Up. Power Up has been developed as a result of the event. Martin Glynn is delivering the programme in Nottingham in partnership with Bright Ideas. It is being supported by Nottingham City Council.
