Humberside Police Lifestyle Celebrates 25 years of success!
Malcolm continues, “At BP we aim to be part our local community and supporting Lifestyle is a great way to achieve this. We have seen over many years how Lifestylers gain a range of skills to help them become the citizens, employees and employers of the future”.
Police and Crime Commissioner, Matthew Grove said, “We have many young people in this area who we can be rightly proud of, and Lifestyle is a fantastic example of how young people make a positive contribution to their community, build relationships and improve their own skills. The fact that thousands of young people have taken part and benefitted from their involvement is a tribute to Humberside Police and our partner organisations who have worked hard to develop and support the programme over 25 years.”
The first 4,000 to register will receive a free Lifestyle shirt and each team will receive a project pack containing all of the information needed for a successful summer. So don’t delay, register now to take part by registering online.

Daisy Chains record their Sun Safety Rap!
It looks like you guys had a fab time!!!!
Daisy Chains prepare to take to the sky!
Lifestyle 2012 champions, ‘Daisy Chains’ Bridget, Chloe, Maisie, Shannon and Aimee are incredibly excited to be jetting off on a holiday of a lifetime to Florida, after scooping the top accolade of Lifestyle champions for their project that raised awareness of sun safety to an incredibly wide audience as well as creating a fantastic sensory room at Cottingham Pre-school and much more!
At half term, the team will to board the flight to Florida! Bridget said, “We are now counting down the days until Florida, and I still have an energy rush when I think back to the moment we were announced the winners! We’ve being looking at all the parks on the internet, deciding which thrilling rides to go on. We are truly grateful for the prize of a lifetime! We just want to get on the plane and arrive in Florida; it is going to be fast, fun and fantastic and best of all sunny, but don’t worry we have our sun cream ready.”
Bridget continues, “Lifestyle really made our summer action-packed! We had a goal to work towards, we were never bored, and we constantly met up with each other to do our project. It is a great way to spend time with your friends whilst achieving something amazing. We did so many different things; we got creative, making banners, booklets and a web site. We got active and went on a sponsored bike ride, all so much more fun than just hanging about and watching TV. We became entrepreneurs; it was like running our own mini-business!”
Sergeant Allie Bradley accompanying the Daisy Chains will retire on the day she flies back from Florida after 30 years service said, “I have always been supportive of youth engagement initiatives and Lifestyle is such a positive project for Humberside Police which takes us into schools and encourages young people to get actively involved in their communities and in turn, improving the quality of lives for so many members of our society. It is great for Humberside Police through the kind sponsorship of the many businesses that support the project, to be able to reward teams for their hard work and look forward to hearing of teams’ endeavours for many years to come.”

St Anne’s Angels receive Royal recognition!
Earlier in the year, students from St Anne’s Community Special School made their debut entry into the Humberside Police Rock Challenge at the Bridlington Spa. From the moment the music started the audience were captivated and they clapped along for the whole eight minutes watching the performance ‘This is your life’ dedicated to the Queen on her Diamond Jubilee.
As a result of their performance the school won a number of awards and following on from this Rock Challenge success, East Riding’s Vice Lord-Lieutenant Mr Andrew Marr of Andrew Marr International wrote to Buckingham Palace to bring the ‘Jubilee Performance’ to the attention of The Queen and her staff and sent a copy of the video of St Anne’s fitting tribute. Mr Marr received a reply from the Palace which he will formally present to the school for display in the same assembly.

Daisy Chains’ are crowned Lifestyle 2012 champions!
Paul Lyons, Lifestyle Awards supporter from Arco said, “Judging the Lifestyle project this year was extremely difficult. All of the teams showed commitment, enthusiasm and enterprise. The final decision was exceptionally close but Daisy Chains claimed the overall prize because of the sheer scope of their project. They linked businesses and schools in a skin cancer education campaign, they ran a community stall at ‘Cottingham Day’, designed an educational website, raised significant funds and their Sensory Room will be a Lifestyle legacy for years to come. They fully deserve their top prize.”
The night was full of surprises for teams as none of the Lifestylers were aware of what rewards they were about to receive as a result of their endeavours over the summer holidays. Teams were awarded with prizes from days out to Alton Towers and Silverstone, plus team building adventure trips to Wales and France!
