I would like to host an event to launch my new and unique book to an audience of people, from students, to staff, and to residents of prisons, that can explain their journey or their career.
I intend doing this in The Old Court House, which is a recently renovated building in Kidderminster that will become a community asset in the future.
Any funding I receive will pay for the building hire, the invitations and the cost of tea/coffee/snacks that I would like to provide. Since it will be a free to attend event, and my own funds are now depleted, I am asking for funding, hopefully to total £1,000 pounds.
As a byproduct of this launch, it will also provide me with a way of hosting a networking type meeting for all of the professionals I know who work tirelessly in this difficult sector. In this country the Crominal Justice System is in crisis, and needs improvement and so by bringing conversations in to the meeting I hope to generate interest and encouragement to all concerned.
I also hope, due to the uniqueness of the event, to get coverage in the local newspaper, the local radio and TV, and social media, LinkedIn for example.
If I achieve all of this it will raise my profile in the sector and provide a topic for my public speaking career.
