The OK Story
‘The OK Story; A venture in faith’ is a paperback book published by the OK Club. It is a history of the organisation written mostly by Brian Stansfield and John Kinder (both extensively involved with The OK Club for several decades), but with many stories and memories from other involved since the Club’s founding in 1958. If you would like a copy of the book please send a cheque for £7.99 made out to ‘Oxford Kilburn Youth Trust’, to 45 Denmark Road, Kilburn, NW6 5BP. (Those overseas should add an extra £2 to cover extra postage.) Annual Report 2007 You can now read our Annual Report for 2007 here or in the resources section. Prayer Breakfast This year’s Prayer
Breakfast will happen on Saturday 17th May 2008. More details to

added Check out the new ‘Static Motion’ media section of the website! Where you’ll be able to see videos and photos by young people, and listen to radio shows they’ve produced. 27th July 2007 – Change of
Chair
Nick Bent, Chairman of the OKClub Management Committee for the past six years, has stepped down. As of August 2007, Matt Parker (ex Club Administrator) will be interim Chair, until Becky Foreman, (ex volunteer resident a the Club) takes over permanently from January 2008. Becky has already joined the Management Committee. Nick will be moving north over the next few weeks, but he remains on the Management Committee and intends to still be
very involved with the organisation. I think
everyone will agree that Nick has been an astonishingly talented person to
have in the Chair. He has kept a totally reliable hand on the refurbishment
of the premises. He has overseen the creation and development of a strong
core staff team. He keeps a very cool head in times of difficulty, whether
concerning financial threats, the intricacies of partnership working, or the occasionally volatile behaviour of young people. He
has been incredibly conscientious, whether working
most weeks as a volunteer, responding rapidly to sometimes lengthy emails
from the Director, Administrator and Committee members, or working behind the
scenes as our Lead Ambassador. Unfailingly good-natured, he has sustained
close involvement in all aspects of our work in spite of a very demanding
role at the heart of Government. Staff and volunteers all agree that Nick is a fantastic
person to work for, strongly supportive but always keeping his own
perspective. I am sure that everyone associated
with Club during the past 15 years of Nick’s
involvement will join in thanking him for his dedication, conscientiousness, hard work
and wisdom. 23rd March 2007 – Official
Launch Event We had a great time at the official launch of the newly renovated building on 23rd March 2007 The building was officially opened by Dawn Butler MP (Chair of the all party parliamentary forum on youth matters), And Rt. Hon Pete Broadbent, Bishop of Willesden. |
