People with craft or engineering skills and a little time to spare are being actively sought to support the needs of disabled people in the Harrogate District by joining a new panel of volunteers for Remap. The sort of work Remap panellists produce varies enormously. Problem solving is at the heart of their success. Recently a customer suffering from Parkinson’s disease found he could no longer open the fridge door or operate the controls of his washing machine. The local Remap panel met to discuss the problem, came up with a solution, and panellists created a new handle to fix to the fridge, and also replaced the washing machine controls with large knobs that the client could manage. The meeting is open for anyone to attend, in particular those who are good at problem solving and have a craft or engineering skill, and interested local health professionals. The local group, whose establishment is being supported by Harrogate and Ripon Councils for Voluntary Service and Harrogate Borough Council, already has a number of potential projects so it is looking to be up and running as soon as possible. |

Was your New Years resolution to look after your health? A recent ICM poll commissioned for CSV Make a Difference Day found that a quarter of people who volunteer more than five times a year say volunteering has helped them lose weight, while nearly half of all volunteers say volunteering has improved their physical health and fitness. So, why not get fit and help your local environment and wildlife with the Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust? Join us at Charnwood Lodge National Nature Reserve to help improve the rare and valuable heathland on this outstanding nature reserve. We will be removing scrub from the heathland which if left would shade out all the heathland plants. No prior knowledge is needed, as all training and tools will be provided. |

Our e-campaigning system identifies your MP, MSP or AM and provides a model email that you can adapt then send to your political representative in a matter of seconds. Quick, simple and cheap, it can make a real difference for people with asthma. For example Welsh MP Julie Morgan will today (12 January 2005) introduce a Private Members Bill in Parliament that, if passed, would give the National Assembly for Wales the power to make public places and workplaces in Wales smoke-free. However, the decision to pass the Welsh Assembly bill will be made
in Westminster by MPs from across Britain, and Asthma UK campaigners
have 'This bill is vital for protecting the health of people with and without asthma,' said Martin Dockrell, Asthma UK's Assistant Director of Policy & Public Affairs. 'The Welsh Assembly has already agreed that if it had the powers it would want to take action to introduce smoke-free public places. However, the success of this bill will also put pressure on the government to take action on implementing a comprehensive smoking ban in England.' 'Our e-campaigning page makes it quick and easy to lobby your MP and add your voice to the campaign.' |

Got something to say about the health issues that affect the African Caribbean community? Come along to our seminar on Saturday the 22nd January where we'll be exploring these issues. We also hope to focus on the role of patient and public involvement in health services. The event is all about raising the profile of PPI forums - Public and Patient Involvement forums based within hospitals - within the black and minority ethnic community. The event is also about the health legacy we are leaving for future generations. The event will be centred around celebrating Martin Luther King Jnr and the ideals he held regarding ensuring all people had equal access to services including health and social care. The Royal Wolverhampton Hospitals PPI Forum has been investigating the provision of services to people suffering from Sickle Cell Anaemia and Thalassemia. A piece of research conducted in 2003 by the Patient Experience/Diversity Officer and the PALS Officer has also been obtained and discussed. There are significant problems engaging with service users for interviews/surveys and a local support group (The Sickle Cell and Thalassemia Support Project) has been approached for assistance with designing and administering a survey. A report is planned for March 2005. |

BBC Radio Sheffield's 'Plant it - Save it' Campaign is gathering pace with several organised tree-planting days for people to go along and plant a tree for free during 2005 as part of the Year of the Volunteer. The campaign aims to plant 10,000 trees in South Yorkshire over the next 12 months, in a bid to help renew our local forests and arrest climate change. You're invited to attend two tree-planting days. The first event is at Podmore Wood in Totley on February the 12th and 26th and at Wincobank Wood in Sheffield on March the 1st and 5th. The Totley site is owned by the Shffield Town Trust and is being organised in partnership with the Sheffield University Officer Training Corps and will result in 7,000 being planted. The Wincobank Wood site is off Sandstone Crescent and is a new woodland area. Tree planting at both sites will help create new woodland areas in Sheffield with the help of Radio Sheffield listeners, local residents and other groups. |

'Friends of the Parks' are a group of local residents from Valley Park and Knightwood Park working to help protect and improve the local environment for everyone to enjoy. In the early 1990's only 2% of Hampshire's 23,000 hectares of semi-natural coppice woodland was being cut on a planned rotation of cutting. Since this time this figure has increased and Friends of the Parks are delighted to be involved with the reintroduction of this craft in our local woods. Coppicing has historically set the composition and structure of much of Hampshire's ancient semi-natural woodland. |

We are holding an afternoon tea party with the Mayor at the town hall. This will be a fun, semi formal occasion, where we will celebrate the positive aspects of “getting older”, and how older members of the community help their peer group. We are planning to get the press to come along and have a limo to pick up the volunteers for the afternoon. Our services are currently community and hospital based and volunteers
can do many positive things to make a difference, such as befriending,
telefriending, patient support, information outreach, along with other
practical help such as handyman. |
