basis, as well as a set of programmes, which heighten awareness
of learning disability and other related topics.

They offer training on:
African Caribbean history and culture, and the challenge of racism
Black lives; health, hair and skin care, food, and other important
things in daily life
Copying with bereavement (death of family members)
Helping people to speak out for themselves.
In the previous year ROOOTS has successfully taken part in conferences
and workshops in Bradford, Chorley, Leeds, London and Manchester.
They also took part in Valuing People Support Team National and
Regional Ethnicity meetings. Joycelin represents ROOOTS on the
Leeds Partnership Board, and Paul represents ROOOTS at Inclusion
North.
They have made two films with The Production Company – a
film “About ROOOTS” and a training film about bereavement.
They also plan to make training films on health and on being safe
in the community. Having finished a ‘Training for Change’
course in 2006 they are now available for bookings, to give training
on the areas stated above.

e-nterprise In Action
This is a new project at People In Action.
It asks people to support their local charity by donating your
unwanted items to us, either from work or home. We will then sell
these items on eBay. Profits go towards continuing our projects
and activities for people with learning difficulties and disabilities.
The project provides 2 different services -
OPTION 1:
Simple! Donate your item(s) to the project. You can do this by
posting it in to us (link to the contact us page) or contact Jane
Sanderson at the People In Action office to arrange a possible*
pick-up.
*(please note: we may not be able to take some items due to limited
storage, but we can organise to sell your item(s) ‘collect
only’)
OPTION 2:
In need of some extra cash? Why not get e-nterprise In Action
to sell your items on eBay, on your behalf. We will do all the
work for you, including putting and managing your item(s) on the
eBay site, you just need to sit back and reap the rewards! For
this service we only take a small commission.
Please contact Jane Sanderson for more Information.
