One Minute Brief:
Create a poster to promote Adams Angels
Hello everyone. We realise it's New Year but today we are setting a brief to promote a great cause which you can read more about below. There has been some bad news recently regarding Adam Pickup's death in Manchester. Adam was from Stockport which is where myself and James are from too and we want to do our bit to promote the project created by Wez Hall called Adam's Angels. What better way than to use our great social creative community to raise awareness, show support and create content and ideas for Adam's Angels to use. We will provide prizes for the best entries. Please all get involved. See below for info from Wesley Hall.

ADAMS ANGELS - THE AGENDA
My name is Wesley Hall, after seeing a comment on the Manchester Evening News Facebook page, underneath todays article on Adam from 'Donna Knox' about a ‘street angel’ proposal, I have decided as a parent that ‘enough is enough’, no-one should be dying on our streets at night, whether they are drunk, homeless, foreign, gay or hooked on drugs… Something needs to be done.
Our children and others should be SAFE in our towns and cities… This is GREAT Britain after all.
I’m not ‘into politics’, I’m certainly no ‘angel’ and I don’t dismiss the projects that are ‘out there’ at the moment… But I want #adamsangels to be able to offer protection, security and safety to the people in our Country.
Yes, sadly, the tragic incident yesterday, with young Adam has touched so many of our hearts… So much that I setup the 'Find Adam Pickup' page in order to aid the search for him… Rapidly, I saw that social media was doing GOOD! We all know that it’s slated so much in the press, but there ARE good people out there and this campaign has clearly showed that.
As I’ve said in my previous status, I don’t have ‘confirmation’ that the family would mind this initiative being setup in his memory, but we’ll confirm as soon as we know. I understand that a LOT of people have gone missing, been found under worst case scenarios, refused shelter, unconscious and I want to use my abilities to HELP. There’s hundreds of you that want to help and we’re overwhelmed with the response… You will all be contacted shortly as soon as we have confirmation of a venue for a conference.
Here’s what I think we need… But obviously, we’re open to suggestions… And we’re hoping that this will develop into a nationwide charity.
Manchester
========
We’d be looking at having a ‘HQ’, somewhere to facilitate the needs of volunteers, an office for ‘mission control’, hopefully growing into an ‘emergency’ shelter attending needs of those on the streets. Providing food, telephone facilities, individual needs, housing advice, personal development and medical services.
(There’s plenty of empty buildings that major companies & the council could offer us on low or free rent! - With funding or manual help from tradesmen, we could easily renovate somewhere suitable)
Teams of volunteers working from HQ and ‘roaming’ the streets into the early hours, working on a shift regime. Provided with supplies for people, radio communications, emergency services direct contact, GPS tracking, our own CCTV network, a ‘mobile bus’ with medical supplies & food, these would also offer ‘mobile phone charging points’, ‘a call home’ and helpful information and help regarding each individual person. Our aim is to make sure that NOTHING like this happens again in Manchester.
(We’ve literally had hundreds of volunteers asking to help, I genuinely believe this will work!)
Mobile Phone Charging Points located around the city.
(Possibly funded by Apple for having rubbish iPhone battery life? LOL!)
Liaison with GMP (PSCO officers finish at 2am and most PC’s are out dealing with crime) and CCTV control to ensure that people aren’t ‘wandering off’ whilst intoxicated.
Liaison with the other street groups and homeless charities that are operating in the city (Street Pastors, Coffee4Craig etc) to ensure that we have a concrete network that work together to make the city safe.
Increased safety & security along the water ways.
(Lifebuoys, lighting & CCTV)
A mandatory compliance for security companies, bars & clubs to work alongside #adamsangels to ensure safety for EVERYONE in Manchester.
(After all, these places our taking the money off the young crowd and intoxicating them, I believe that they have a responsibility as licensees to ensure their customers safety.)
We need YOU to help us promote this, by using twitter, Facebook, linked in, google+ and your own blogs… Ask EVERY influential person you know to ‘back this’ campaign.
I *PROMISE* that I will do EVERYTHING I can physically do to make this work, with the team I have alongside me and you lot on here showing your support, I know we’ll do this!
2014 is going to be an interesting year… #adamsangels NEEDS YOU!!!
I'm hoping to setup a conference for next week in the city centre so we can all collate and 'brain storm'... I hope you can all be there!
Thankyou for all of your nice messages & support, this wouldn't be possible without you.
