Beacon LifeSwap

Beacon LifeSwap ‘my life:my community’ is a unique insight to the lives of 19 young people. It explores the everyday things that are important in the lives of this diverse group of young people. Each one is as different as the people taking the shots, each one is a relevant to local authorities as the other. You are invited to share the lives of these young people through their photos. Go to the GALLERY to view lots more pictures and to leave comments.

The Beacon Scheme identifies excellence and innovation in local government. It is much more than just a badge, however. The scheme exists to share good practice so that best value authorities can learn from each other and deliver high quality services to all. Find out more on IDeA Knowledge.

WE WANT YOUR COMMENTS. PLEASE CLICK ON A PHOTO BELOW OR IN THE GALLERIES AND LEAVE A COMMENT.
