The club enables children to have fun in a safe and stimulating environment and runs from 9-30 to 12.30 every weekday. 

They begin meeting in the New Year and meet approximately 6 times before the club starts with members doing a variety of activities to ensure the club is successful. This would be an opportunity for new trustees to do something worthwhile which will benefit 30+ children and also give families a much needed break.

If you are interested or want more information contact Sue Howard on 01663 735211 or email suehoward1406@gmail.com

In January 2016 the guidance around recommended limits of alcohol was updated. The new guidance states that the limits for both men and women are the same – which is to not drink more than 14 units a week, and spreading these units evenly over 3 or more days.

The theme of Alcohol Awareness Week 2016 will look focus on alcohol and health, and knowing the risks associated with alcohol. They have information on their website which is free to download www.alcoholconcern.org.uk/factsheets

They created the video with different perspectives on what eating disorders mean to people as individuals, and to help break some stereotypes.

One of the 7 categories is Improving Impact for organisations with 3 or less staff, to encourage entries from smaller charities. They will also cover the train fares of any small charities that are short-listed to attend the awards event.

They feel local  small charities could have good but untold governance stories, and the awards could help them be told. 

The deadline for the awards is Friday 13 January.
