1 SET IT
IN STONE
Are you looking for an interesting way to thank a Leader, Assessor or Supervisor for their help with your group? If so, then why not present them with a bespoke slate trophy? Many online trophy companies will make them for you – we found this impressive one that comes out at around £13 plus a one-off engraving cost. 100mm x 150mm x 7mm.

3 WALLET NINJA
Here’s the perfect pocket tool for everyone. This Wallet Ninja contains 16 handy tools in one credit-card gadget that can be kept in your wallet. It can help you open boxes, letters,
screw things in place, open cans and bottles, measure and hold up your phone... It’s heat treated steel and will never chip, rust or bend. Available for around £7 from places such as
iwantoneofthose.com.
2 GLOW CAMPING
Want to light up your tent so you can find it in the dark when you are stumbling back from the loo? Glow Tape could help. This very sticky tape adheres to just about any surface and emits a super bright glow once the lights are off.
It’s made from rugged,
water-resistant vinyl so you can use it outside too. They cost around £8 a roll from stockists such as
firebox.com.
4 TRUST GRANT
The WHSmith Trust supports good causes in the local communities where WHSmith operates. Up to £500 is available to voluntary organisations and schools from the proceeds of the compulsory carrier bag levies across the UK. Grants are awarded every six months. The two annual application rounds run from 1 October to 31 March, and 1 April to 30 September. Details:

5 STOP THIEF
Here’s a useful page full of advice on how to stop bikes from being stolen. Ideal to chat with your participants about as part of everyday life skills... or perhaps the advice can be used as the basis for a Volunteering section community project? Visit the DirectLine website: https://
