After a wonderful Half Term break in the French mountains with my lovely family it was back to work today with renewed vigour and determination!

First on the agenda was to review and agree on the logo for Team SpringBoard CIC (TS CIC). This was tricky because Jon Harrison Design, based in Coventry, came up with three great concepts. After a long deliberation I think I have picked my favourite, which I am delighted with! Now I need to finalise the strap line and as soon as that is done then it will be ready to go on the web page, onto business cards and flyers and of course our team kit!

Next, in preparation for the TS CIC launch, Michelle and I headed off to the B&Q in Erdington to brush up on our DIY skills and specifically for an introduction into plastering delivered by the fantastic Hans. If you join the B&Q Club (which costs nothing) you can take advantage of some great training ranging from the correct use of basic tools through plastering, tiling, wallpapering and plumbing. I would highly recommend it – not only was it a really good fun 3 hours (and you get a fab disposable boiler suit) I reckon with a bit of practice I might be able to tackle some plastering myself – as you can see from the pictures below I was a natural! Tiling next week....

This afternoon I met up with Ruth from Voluntary Action Coventry to talk about the specific policies and procedures that I will need to put into place before we start trading. TS CIC will be a blend of employed staff and volunteers and as a result there is a load to do in this area. I will need policies in Health and Safety, Safeguarding, Equal Opportunities, Data Protection, Harassment and Bullying and on and on... I had under estimated the amount of work required in this area so I can see how the evenings this week are going to pan out!! I also need to find an HR expert to give me some advice as soon as possible!!
