Anti-Bullying Week in November was all hands on deck with educational sessions being delivered in Coleg Morgannwg and youth clubs – engaging with and educating over 100 young people in the process. The Wicid team has also been asked to promote and run the Mayor of Rhondda Cynon Taf’s Battle of the Bands 2014, which will be taking place in the first few months of the new year. The editorial team is expanding rapidly. Now with nine new members, articles are really flying in! One member of the editorial is even in the process of writing a novel and – keep it hush hush – but publishers may be showing a keen interest already!

The Info Shop in Wrexham has moved to new premises on Lambpit Street in Wrexham. The new shop has four counselling rooms, two fully equipped clinic rooms and a meeting room.
