Our new photography project.

Welcome
We would like to welcome you to the new look L8 Create dot com website. We decided to move the site into the future but still keep a firm grasp on the issues that we feel are most important in order to deliver a top class service. We have had problems trying to get Internet Explorer to play nice with our new site so we decided the best way to deal with this problem would be to offer downloads of the best browsers on the web (this isn't what we think, but what almost all web designers think). If you are comfortable with Internet Explorer, then update it to IE6 or 7, 8 will be released soon. You will find the links at the bottom.

The Network's Chief Executive Robin Landman today presented the business case for realising the untapped talent of the UK Black Minority Ethnic (BME) communities.
Speaking at the prestigious Corporate Social Responsibility "Social Footprints, 2007" conference at the ICC in Birmingham, Robin outlined the global and national challenges facing the developed economies of Europe and the social and economic costs resulting from the exclusion of BME communities young and old from the 'good society'.. Robin spoke of the 'untapped talent pool' in BME communities and the opportunities that lay in engaging with younger and dynamic minority communities who will occupy such a significant proportion in the growth of the UK workforce in the next decade. The position of colleges today where only 8 Principals (2% of all Principals) are drawn from BME communities contrasts with the national student population of nearly 20%, implying a requirement for 75 BME college leaders.The 'Social Footprints, 2007' CSR conference focused on how the operation of organisations impacts on people and communities and why more more and more companies are taking care how their work affects both employees and the wider community.
- Editors Corner... PETER BREAKS THROUGH
- All children, except one, grow up. They soon know that they will grow up, and the way Wendy knew was this. One day when she was two years old she was playing in a garden, and she plucked another flower and ran with it to her mother. I suppose she must have looked rather delightful, for Mrs. Darling put her hand to her heart and cried, "Oh, why can't you remain like this for ever!" This was all that passed between them on the subject, but henceforth Wendy knew that she must grow up. You always know after you are two. Two is the beginning of the end. Read More
- Changes to Our Services
-
This year should be a good one for L8 Create. Marg is working really hard to ensure that we partner up as much as possible to try and deliver our services the best way we can. Even though we didn't get YIA we have a few good ideas on the fire. The PixL8 project is going through a major upgrade that may enable us to run a city wide philosophy through photography project. We will be using Web 2.0 technologies to ensure that anyone with a digital camera (phones included) and access to the internet can join in and even win prizes by following online tutorials. See our Projects page for more details.
- Browser Download
-
In our experience, it is getting increasingly harder to write HTML for websites that work well with Internet Explorer. So what we are providing are links to downloads of the best browsers on the net. We have provided links for mac and PC. Only download these browsers if you have permission to do so. L8 Create does not accept responsibility for any problems with these browsers, nor does it give technical advice on the use of these applications. The links are targeted to the websites of the companies that developed them, we've done our bit.
