The magazine is being produced by Woodrow Library using funding awarded by UK Onlines Community HUB's initiative.
Content for the magazine is being managed and co-ordinated with a core group of 20 young people with contributions from them, residents, service providers and will be a platform for networking, information, ideas, conversations and opportunities, not to mention, being an open invitation to anyone who would like to contribute to the magazine or any element of the projects programme of digital activities.
We would love to hear from you –so please let us know what you think of the magazine - and what suggestions you have. You can post comments on the magazine and follow us on Facebook and Twitter.
We hope you enjoy our magazine- and a big thank you to everyone who has contributed so far.

The Nine Month Bump Featured
Teenage pregnancy – We all know accidents can happen and whether you have planned to or not, are young or older, pregnancy is a big life changing matter. Teenage pregnancy is a growing concern in Redditch with youngsters falling pregnant before they have even finished school. The young pregnancy rate is slowly on the decline and was at 34,633 in 2010 (guardian.co.uk), however teens that find themselves in the situation where they are or think they might be pregnant still need support and guidance and need to know who they can turn too for this.
Launch Day fun at the Abbey Stadium
Redditch Lives went along to the launch day held at the Abbey Stadium on Saturday July 7th there was free use of the gym, swimming pool and the launch of new classes available to members and non members...
