Themed Customer Panels
AIR Panel
AIR is a youth panel made up of 8 young people aged between 11 - 17 years. The young people decided on the AIR name and designed their own logo.
The panel was formed in May 06 and is facilitated by Aragon Community development team and Bedfordshire County Youth Service - with the aim of encouraging young people to AIR their views and engage them on housing and related community issues.
Progress Report November 2007
The AIR Aragon Youth Panel has continued to create, develop and deliver projects and events across Mid Beds since the start of the year. Millennium volunteers also play a key role in the delivery of many of the activities. There have been successful funding bids by the young people to fund their project ideas.
The AIR panel set up an anti Social Behaviour Awareness project at the beginning of the year. This involved designing games, quizzes, information leaflets and ordering goodies i.e. pens, yo yos, play doh etc with ‘Think b4 u bother’ printed on them.
