Artwork and Branding for Ollie's Brewery in Cardiff. Ollie's brewery is named after the owner; Jon's rescue dog, Ollie, who was found wandering the streets of Cardiff in 2012. He was rescued by Jon and his family just a few weeks after his stay at Cardiff Dog's Home. 10% of the profits from Ollie's Brewery is being donated to the Friends of the Dogs Wales charity so that more dogs can find their ideal home, and have a less stressful time while they wait. Ollie’s influence goes beyond the name of the brewery; he is not just an ordinary dog, and these are not just ordinary beers. These are distinctive, unique and unusual featuring flavours with a twist; combinations which you may not expect to see on the side of a beer bottle, but which are actually quite the perfect pairing. Just like a man and his dog. http://www.olliesbrewery.com/our-beers.html
Youth Cymru is joining forces with the recorded music industry, Capital FM and UK Youth to create development opportunities to 14-24 year-olds across Wales. The project will run from March 2014 – February 2015. £3.85 million from the BIG Lottery Fund will fund a series of major music events, a national talent competition, an education programme run through youth clubs and organisations and crucially the creation hundreds of work-related opportunities. The consortium brings the full weight of the music industry into play, using the power of the iconic BRITs brand, the reach of Global Radio and their Capital Brand and the grassroots networks of UK Youth to connect with millions of young people around the UK through their love of music. A major part of the project involves setting up music hubs across the UK. Youth Cymru is offering 8 organisations working with young people the chance to become BIG Music Project hubs. Each hub will be given training, resources and support to enable 10 young people aged 16-24 (Music Champions) to run their own music projects via a peer education programme, which will ensure a wider range of young people have improved access to opportunities. A percentage of the young people taking part in each hub must be experiencing barriers to earning and learning. Resources, featuring music taster sessions inspired by the iconic BRIT School’s Community Arts programme, will support the Champions to engage with their peers, encouraging more young people to use youth organisations and their facilities. It will also support the Champions to run local music projects such as planning and organising a regular open mic night, allowing Champions and others taking part to develop vital employability skills and gain accreditation, while also ensuring young people in the community share their talent and love for music – and benefit from the wider provision on offer at the organisation.
