Steven Bell, Managing Director said, “Falcon Cycles would like to take this opportunity to congratulate ‘The Fab 5’ for their Lifestyle work over the summer holidays making such a difference to the lives of the residents at Parklands and also helping to clear the litter in the local park.

BP pledge support for Lifestyle 2012
We are delighted to reveal BP has announced that it is to be principal sponsor of the Humberside Police Lifestyle project in 2012.
BP have been long term supporters of Lifestyle, and can see first hand the benefits the project brings to thousands of young people aged between 10-16, who gain a vast amount of confidence, self esteem and essential life skills as a result of becoming actively involved in the communities where they live. These skills can then be transferred when young people look to venture out into the world of work and further education.
Malcolm Joslin, Communications and External Affairs Manager, BP Acetyls Europe said, “BP is absolutely delighted to return as Principal Sponsor for 2012 and proud to once again join the many sponsors who are supporting Lifestyle. The standard of work each year is amazing and we continue to be inspired by the enthusiasm, caring and commitment shown by the young people of this region”.
Malcolm continues, “At BP we aim to be part our local community, be a force for good and to be a good neighbour. We achieve this by doing what we can to help the community to prosper from an economic, as well as a cultural and educational, perspective. We see the importance of developing local youth as they are our future workforce, and are tomorrow’s good citizens.
Following the prestigious Lifestyle Awards last week, the team who work behind the scenes of the project are preparing to reward more Lifestylers in school presentations set to take place in the New Year to recognise the achievements of teams, as well as starting to plan ahead for Lifestyle 2012!

Valpak’s praise for Bin Buddies
At the prestigious Lifestyle Awards which took place at the Hull City Hall, Tickton team, Bin Buddies received a special accolade for their tremendous project, creating clocks from recycled materials. During the summer holidays the team organised a ‘Time to Recycle’ exhibition and worked tirelessly to produce 78 individual clocks which were displayed magnificently, selling 57 and taking orders for many more! The team also took part in a sponsored cycle to fund 5,000 recycling leaflets that were given out to every primary school child in the East Riding of Yorkshire. They also provided clock movements to enable two classes to produce their own recycled clocks!
As a result of their endeavours the team won an Adventure Holiday to France including a couple of days of Disney Land Paris supported by Valpak.
Nigel Tomlinson, Valpak Commercial Manager, said "Valpak would like to take this opportunity to commend the Bin Buddies on their exceptional project. They exceeded the challenge that was set by carrying out a creative initiative to help raise awareness that waste materials can be used to make sought after items. Too many household waste materials end up in landfill and the Bin Buddies have shown their local community that it is possible to reuse and recycle products that have supposedly reached the end of their useful life."
Sensational Lifestyle Awards
Paul Lyons, Lifestyle Awards Supporter from Arco said, “As always, the high standard of Lifestyle projects combined with commitment and passion from the teams, made judging extremely difficult. It was a very close run competition for first place. ‘One World – One Chance’ claimed the overall prize because their project not only brought a whole community together, it also benefited a huge range of charities. The diversity of activities was overwhelming. Very deserved winners!”
Finalist team’s, ‘Butterfly Babes’ from Goole, ‘Pink Ninjas’ from Elloughton and ‘The Blonde, The Brunette and the Odd One Out’ from Hull, each came away with a fabulous adventure holiday to France including two days at Disney Land Paris and MGM Studios as well as a tour of Paris and the experience of going to the top of the Eiffel Tower!
A great surprise was also in store for an additional seven Lifestyle teams (details at the end of this paragraph) as the judges were so impressed with their work, that they decided they deserved an extra special prize… as they will also be heading to France on a fantastic Adventure Holiday and will have two day trips to Disney Land Paris and MGM Studios!!!! Team names: ‘Disco Divas’ from Hessle, ‘Two Wishes’, ‘The Toxic Five both from Brough, ‘The Bin Buddies’ from Tickton, ‘Florida Bound 3’ and ‘Purrr-fection, Scunthorpe ‘The Epworth Hospice Helpers’.
Chief Constable, Tim Hollis, CBE, QPM said, “Once again, the Lifestyle finalists have reached an incredible standard. When meeting the teams I am humbled by their achievements and dedication show towards their projects and the benefits such work gives to members of their communities. This year’s overall winners represent just how creative teams can be and how much fun they can have whilst taking part in Lifestyle. I look forward to building upon this success in 2012.”
Lifestyle Principal Supporter, Peter Shipp, Chairman and Chief Executive from East Yorkshire Coaches said ““Once again it was a very uplifting experience to see at first hand the efforts of the youngsters who have reached the finals this year. Their enthusiasm and the time and effort they put in to their projects is quite amazing and I know that many of those who didn’t make it to the final few will have come very close as the standards are so high. It is great to see young people, many not even teenagers yet, working as a team – a very valuable lesson which will stand them in good stead later in life. I am delighted that EYMS has once again been able to support this fantastic project.”

Lifestyle 2011 Awards
The glittering Humberside Police Lifestyle Awards are set to take place on Wednesday 16th November at the Hull City Hall. The event will see the top 290 Lifestylers from across our region presented with a whole host of prizes in recognition for their fantastic efforts during the summer holidays. The overall winners of Lifestyle 2011 will scoop a holiday of a lifetime to Florida, presented by Chief Constable Tim Hollis.
The standard of projects submitted this year has been phenomenal as teams have worked non-stop to make a difference to their local communities with outstanding results. Teams have completed many diverse activities including; fitness campaigns galore, the tending of allotments, some have campaigned for water safety, cleaner beaches and parks, improved recycling and waste facilities. Lifestyle teams have built bird and bat boxes, created wildlife areas and improved local ponds by overhauling overgrown and neglected sites, whilst uniting whole communities to achieve their goal.
All this has been achieved through the close links of Officers from Neighbourhood Policing Teams and Lifestylers, instilling a real sense of community spirit and building trust and confidence between the Police, young people and the community at large.
This year alone, our teams have worked tens of thousands of hours and have raised a record breaking £101,145.05 towards local good causes during the summer of 2011.
In preparation for the Awards, we have teamed up with the Sport Lincs Dance Crew, from North East Lincolnshire who have been busy rehearsing in readiness to take centre stage to entertain the audience with their funky urban dance style; the evening will be hosted by Viking FM’s Paul Foster and Rosie Madison from the Paul Foster Breakfast Show.
Lifestyles Principal Supporter, Peter Shipp of East Yorkshire Coaches said, I am delighted that EYMS and East Yorkshire Coaches have been associated with the Lifestyle Project almost since it started, and especially proud to have been able to be its Principal Supporter for the second consecutive year and the third time in all. I know of no other similar scheme in the country and certainly none which has lasted as long and been so continuously successful.
Lifestyle Awards supporter, Paul Lyons, Product and Procurement Manager from Arco said, “Yet another stunning year of achievement, enthusiasm and determination for the Lifestyle project. Arco are extremely proud to be a sponsor of this project and, in particular, the award ceremonies, where outstanding project work is acknowledged and rewarded. Everyone involved in Lifestyle 2011 should be extremely proud of their achievements.”
Prizes to be presented on the evening include day trips to Alton Towers and Silverstone Formula 1 Race Track, adventure holidays to Wales and France, including two days at Disney Land Paris and finally, the overall champions of Lifestyle 2011 will win a holiday of a lifetime to Florida!
The question everyone is asking, who will be crowned the Lifestyle 2011 Champions, from finalist teams, ‘Butterfly Babes’ from Goole, ‘Pink Ninjas’ from Elloughton, ‘One World One Chance’ from Hull and ‘The Blonde, The Brunette and the odd one out’.
Superintendent Samantha Manning, Head of the Community Safety Unit said, “As we celebrate 23 years of Lifestyle, I would like to thank all of the participants who have made such outstanding contributions to our communities and to the local Police and Police Community Support Officers who have worked closely with schools to engage young people in diversionary activities. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all of our sponsors, without whom the Lifestyle project would not be the success it is today.”

Lifestyle team up with Sport Lincs Dancers at the awards!
Hundreds of Lifestylers will be rewarded for their endeavours over the summer holidays at the eagerly awaited Lifestyle Awards Ceremony which take place at the Hull City Hall on the 16th November. The team who work on the behind the scenes of the project, are delighted to be working with the Sport Lincs Dance Crew, who are based at Ormiston Maritime Academy (formerly Hereford School) and who will be providing dance entertainment on the evening.
The thirty-three strong dance crew made up of students from nine schools and colleges across North East Lincolnshire have been busy working on rehearsals since September, and will be bringing their unique urban/funky dance style to the event. They are looking forward to taking to the stage!
Paul Lyons, Product and Procurement Manager from Arco who support the Lifestyle Awards said, “Arco are once again proud to support the Humberside Police Lifestyle Awards. It has been another stunning year of achievement by Lifestyle teams who have shown extraordinary levels of hard work, dedication and enthusiasm for all tasks undertaken. As an organisation we are looking forward to the pinnacle of Lifestyle, where outstanding project and teamwork is acknowledged and rewarded. Everyone involved in Lifestyle 2011 should be extremely proud of themselves”.
Lisa Whitton of the Humberside Police Lifestyle team said, “Each year we aim to make the Lifestyle Awards an outstanding event, to celebrate the achievements of teams in recognition of the work undertaken during the summer holidays. We aim to make the awards a night to remember for everyone involved, making participants proud of themselves and their accomplishments. The Sport Lincs Crew will add a new dimension to the evening, and are all set to make a great impact on stage.”
“This is an exciting time of year for everyone involved in the project, as Lifestyle effectively illustrates great partnership working between young people, the community and Humberside Police raising confidence in the service we provide.”

Lifestylers’ crusade for a greener future
Lifestylers’ never cease to amaze us with their determination to make a positive impact within their local communities; this year has been no different as our teams have passionately crusaded for green issues.
To make this possible, we have worked in partnership with Valpak, who have supported Lifestyle’s Recycling Challenge by challenging teams to reduce, recycle and reuse items; and as a result what an amazing difference they have made.
With a little imagination, teams have undertaken a fabulous array of projects from making clocks from recyclable material found around the home, to undertaking large recycling campaigns and finding new homes for unwanted items such as books, CDs, blankets and towels. All in all, many people, communities and animals have benefited as a result of teams work diverting as much waste from landfill by giving it a new lease of life!
Nigel Tomlinson, Commercial Manager, Valpak, said ““Valpak are delighted to be involved in Lifestyle’s reduce, reuse, recycle initiative. Through our recycle-more website, we promote the importance of reusing and recycling waste or unwanted items and packaging, and are therefore pleased to support an initiative that helps us to communicate these messages to the local community.”
“Many people are not fully aware of the reuse and recycling routes that are available to them and some don’t know what they need do to be more environmentally friendly. We hope that this initiative will help people in Humberside to realise that there are a number of steps that they can take to reduce their impact on the environment.”
An announcement will be made shortly of teams who have made it through to the prestigious Lifestyle Awards taking place at the Hull City Hall on the 16th November. Valpak will also be rewarding one team’s endeavours at the awards.
Finalists meet the Judges!
Following an amazing summer of high energy and fantastic community based activities by thousands of Lifestylers, our preliminary judging panel can confirm that the standard of entries submitted for this year’s project has never been so high, not only giving the preliminary judges a challenging job; the final panel of judges are set for the challenge ahead as they visited four finalist teams this Monday (24th October).

Following a summer of intense activity by over 4,000 young people across the Humberside Police region, the Humberside Police Lifestyle team are delighted to reveal the finalists of the competition for 2011! The minimum prize each team has won is a fantastic team building adventure holiday to France including two days at Disney Land Paris. The overall champions of Lifestyle 2011 will scoop a holiday of a lifetime to Florida, to be revealed at the Lifestyle Awards on the 16th November at the Hull City Hall.
The Lifestyle 2011 finalists are...
• Butterfly Babes, Goole
• Pink Ninjas, Elloughton
• One World, One Chance!, Hull
• The blond, the brunette and the odd 1 out, Hull
The teams have worked incredibly hard whilst making a massive impact to the communities in which they live.
Superintendent Samantha Manning, Head of the Community Safety Unit said, “The standard of Lifestyle projects submitted this year has been superb, as teams have spent a considerable amount of time working voluntarily to benefit their local communities. The finalist teams should be incredibly proud of themselves for what they have achieved during the summer holidays.”
Superintendent Manning continued, “Lifestyle has effectively engaged local Police and Police Community Support Officers with young people and their communities throughout our region, many of whom have visited teams during the summer holidays to offer their support on the work they have undertaken, raising the confidence in the service we provide.”
The next chapter of Lifestyle for the finalist teams will begin, as preparations are made for the final panel of judges to visit each team at the site of their projects over half term to find out more information!
A précis of each teams’ projects may be found below…
Butterfly Babes
Team members: Olivia, Cerys, Bethany and Lucy
Following an article in the local press, the Butterfly Babes decided to help raise awareness of brain injuries. They created an informative presentation which they delivered to local schools and scout groups; this contained a very graphic egg demonstration devised to encourage the use of cycle helmets! A Market stall with a quiz about brain injuries where all participants were given a cupcake for taking part was very impressive. The team held plenty of fund raising events including a car boot sale, raffle, tombola, a sponsored bike ride, car washing and dog walking.
The team also tended to the garden of a newly purchased house for people who have suffered a brain injury and were active in gaining generous support from local companies for the garden project.
The patio area of the garden was cleared and weeded, the rear walls were painted, plants and shrubs were bought and put into place, along with a bird bath and table and a lovely bench. A brand new sensory area has been very thoughtfully created with a Lifestyle 2011 mosaic made from recycled tiles.
A further press article led the team to dedicate every Thursday to volunteering at The Hinge in Goole, an organisation which collects and redistributes food for the needy. They tirelessly bagged up produce and regularly appealed for food items at their local church, businesses and even the Police Station, and as a direct result of their efforts The Hinge kept going right through the summer.
Even the local scout group benefited from this industrious team who realised they were in dire need of new felt tip pens when they saw the Scouts posters at the market!
Pink Ninjas
Team members: Oliver, Michael, Dominic, Jake and Bayley
These sports mad lads decided to share their passion with the community and help everyone to become fitter and healthier! They also organised numerous activities to raise funds for Cancer Research starting by selling cakes at the school BBQ and hosting a coffee morning which was very well received with numerous stalls and activities.
They helped with gardening at the local church, at sheltered accommodation and for the elderly, and were widely congratulated when they identified the need for a litter pick which resulted in 19 bin bags of litter being recycled, this made a real difference to their village. Their school also benefited from a lick of paint to the fences and the playground chess board.
The Pink Ninjas also promoted the Christmas Shoebox appeal for needy children, by collecting items and making up boxes, leading by example they are aiming to encourage others to donate 350 more boxes to the appeal.
The main focus of this project though was to engage the wider community in a series of outdoor sporting activities throughout the summer which grew in popularity as word spread. All age groups joined in with rounders, dodgeball, volleyball, cricket and fun games which brought everyone together from three local villages and many new friendships were forged.
The final event was billed as ‘The Lowerdale Olympic Event’ pitching Team England against Team Germany over a series of ten events, Germany were the overall victors winning by just 41 points! Overall, the team have succeeded in their original aim to bring sport to the community and bring people together - in their words ‘It’s been a blast!’
One World - One Chance
Team members: Alice and Olivia, Anna, Lily and Katie
A true sense of community spirit has been gained by the efforts of this team who worked to bring everyone together through a series of events and fund raising activities.
They started with a big tea party for all the neighbours in aid of Marie Curie with several stalls and attractions, followed by organising a family beach party at Hornsea which brought together over 50 relations aged from 9 weeks to 86 years!
Collections of non perishable foods and toiletries were made throughout the summer and this resulted in over 9 large bags being donated to the homeless and rootless where the team were able to meet residents.
More afternoon cream teas followed, and along with a jumble sale, funds were raised to purchase activity books for local dentists and doctor’s surgeries and musical instruments for the playgroup and preschool where the team helped out. To keep their street fit they bought a 6 metre long skipping rope which even enticed the mums and dads to join in the fun!
A family fun night at a local pub was well attended with attractions such as bingo, karaoke, charity auctions and much more. A substantial amount was raised with beneficiaries including Albemarle Music Centre, RSPCA, Downright Special and Martin House.
The team managed to find the time to bake fresh scones and visit the residents of a local care home, as well as organising ‘Indian’, ‘Chinese’, and ‘Polish’ cultural evenings where friends and neighbours were invited to sample the cuisine, try on traditional dress and find out more about customs and traditions whilst having a brilliant time in great company!
The Blonde, The Brunette and the odd one out!
Team members: Sophie, Bethanie and Leanne
This team had two main goals, to help with the garden area at Haworth Court Residential Home for the elderly and to raise funds to buy toys for the Children’s Ward at Hull Royal Infirmary.
To make a start, many letters and emails to local shops proved fruitful in providing donations of toys, raffle prizes, plants and items for the garden. But then the real hard work began as the team had to dig up tons of weeds and deep roots in order to replant the garden, which then had to be regularly watered. Bird boxes and feeders were handmade and erected, and a very old condemned bench was restored to its former glory with plenty of elbow grease!
Extra help was sought to extend the renovation along the road to the main gates, where the team organised the removal of all the waste and paid for brand new signage.
Haworth Rugby Club had recently suffered an arson attack, so the team helped at their fun day with the tombola and bouncy castle and even persuaded local electricians to donate some electrical equipment.
In order to purchase the brand new toys for the poorly children, a raffle, car washing and sponsored bowl were arranged - all of which were very well organised to gain maximum benefits. It has to be said that this team have worked literally hundreds of hours to achieve their aims and have learnt many valuable lessons along the way, as well as impressing so many people. Cllr Joyce Korczak said “These adventurous young people are a credit to themselves and to our community for all the hard work and hours they willingly give to help others”.

The overall winners of Lifestyle 2011 will win the holiday of a lifetime to Florida!”
The Humberside Police Lifestyle project is now in its 23rd year and since 1989 over 146,000 young people, aged between ten and 16 years of age have taken part completing over 2,000,000 man-hours of community-based projects.
Lifestyle aims to provide a refreshing and challenging alternative to summer boredom and is designed to increase the amount of positive contact between Humberside Police and young people, by police prompting young people to become involved in community projects over the long summer holidays. During the last 23 years, Lifestyle has achieved its aims of encouraging active citizenship, social responsibility and community spirit in young people and reducing anti-social behaviour.
Lifestylers are encouraged to return their Lifestyle projects to us by the 9th September any log books received after the 1st October cannot be judged but will receive a certificate.

Lifestylers made a great impact!
On Tuesday 23rd August the Lifestyle team and Lifestyle’s Principal Supporter, Peter Shipp from East Yorkshire Coaches went out and about to meet three Lifestyle teams to find out what they have been up to over the summer holidays…
Team WOW
Lucy, Emily, Tommy, Mia and Tiegan have spent the summer raising awareness and funds for Castaway Goole; which offers performing, leisure and training opportunities in music, dance and drama for adults and young people with learning and physical disabilities.

The work hasn’t stopped there, as the team have washed front doors, cleaned golf clubs, collected items for a car boot sale, baked buns, bag packed and helped with Brough in Bloom!
Pink Ninjas
Oliver, Michael, Dominic, Jake and Bailey really enjoy sport. With this in mind the team have organised Olympic style events, involving young people in their community, the games have proved so popular they have added another evening!
