Bee Worldwide

bee worldwide

Newport

In the 1950’s there were over 50 native species of bee in the UK, yet just a few years ago there was just 27. In the past few years honey bees have experienced more substantial declines. The UK used to be home to 27 species of bee, yet sadly 3 of these are now extinct with many more under threat. Bee Worldwide has been established in direct response to the growing number of declining bees. The goal is to identify the reasons for the decline and work towards rebuilding the ecosystem that is vital for the bees to regenerate their colonies. PreviousNext 123 This programme has several aims: to raise awareness of our current situation to educate the importance of bees replant foraging areas that are fundamental to the survival and reforming of bee colonies complete and promote research which targets understanding the impacts bees and other pollinators have and the effects of their current and future environment has on them. take action to reverse any negative impact which has already occurred. Bee Worldwide primary focus is to promote individuals and other groups to help bees in their own communities by planting some bee-friendly plants in their gardens. We will extend this to finding donated land and use volunteers to plant flowers in these areas. We also hope to set up a franchise model to become a bee keeper under our own brand, and this will include training, equipment and advice etc. Our research will be world leading and we will also collaborate with universities who are also working in this field of study. This will include monitoring bee movements with trackers (little backpacks) bee counting and many more scientific experiments. With the results, we can see if we can reverse any of the issues and help promote these messages so others can assist with the issues. Over time, Bee Worldwide will create a learning environment that will be an invaluable resource for bee keepers and an aspiration to the public and the community at large. About Meet the Team Contact Beekeeping Courses and Experiences Bee Worldwide is a non-profit organisation raising awareness of the plight of the bee and the ecological turmoil which threatens our planet. We are looking for individuals and communities to help us resolve this crisis and spread our message.

Recovery Coaching Scotland

WHY RECOVERY COACHING? Background The illicit use of drugs and particularly opiates, benzodiazepines and psychostimulants, causes significant problems within Scotland as it does in other parts of the UK and Europe. Some of these problems are primarily social in nature, involving, for example, increases in acquisitive crime, prostitution, unemployment, family breakdown and homelessness. Others are more clearly associated with health problems, for example, the transmission of communicable diseases (HIV, hepatitis), injecting-related injuries and increased demands upon health care services. Similarly, alcohol problems are a major concern for public health in Scotland. Short-term problems such as intoxication can lead to risk of injury and is associated with violence and social disorder. Over the longer term, excessive consumption can cause irreversible damage to parts of the body such as the liver and brain. Alcohol can also lead to mental health problems, for example, alcohol dependency and increased risk of suicide. In addition, alcohol is recognised as a contributory factor in many other diseases including cancer, stroke and heart disease. Wider social problems include family disruption, absenteeism from work and financial difficulties. The Alcohol Framework 2018: Preventing Harm, published by the Scottish Government includes the estimate from the 2010 study, The Societal Cost of Alcohol Misuse in Scotland for 2007, that the impact of this excessive consumption is estimated to cost Scotland £3.6 billion each year. Our Challenge There are a number of characteristics in the behaviours, profile and patterns of drug use and people who use them that both differentiate and add complexity to the nature of our challenge, such as: High risk patterns of Drug use, including multiple different drug (poly drug use) and alcohol. High levels of social depravation, poverty and highly stigmatised people. Drug Misuse & Treatment in Scottish Prisons From 2009/10 to 2018/19, Testing was conducted across all Scottish prisons annually. During one month of the year, prisoners arriving in custody were voluntarily tested for the presence of illegal or illicit drugs. Similarly, those leaving custody during the month were tested to assess progress towards the 'reduced or stabilised' offender outcome. Some key points been: In 2018/19, of the tests carried out at prison entry 75% were positive for drugs The illegal/illicit drugs most commonly detected when entering prison in 2018/19 were cannabis benzodiazepines, opiates and cocaine In 2018/19, of the tests carried out when leaving prison 26% were positive for illegal/illicit drug

Our Key Priorities Whilst Ashoka has been supporting its Fellows over the last four decades, we have also seen a profound transformation in the dynamics of the world around them. Change began to accelerate. What used to take centuries now takes decades, and what used to take decades now takes years. Trying to fix broken systems involves new challenges to embrace these complex and ever-changing dynamics. For all the great work of social entrepreneurs, we cannot rely on them alone to create the scale of solutions now needed. Indeed, to achieve the necessary scale, we need everyone to step up. This is how Ashoka defines its strategy as we enter this new world – Everyone a Changemaker™. Ashoka UK and Ireland has worked for over 15 years to support outstanding social innovators with transformative solutions to social issues and now focuses on the following areas: Searching, selecting, and supporting UK and Ireland’s leading social entrepreneurs For those elected as Fellows, Ashoka provides tailored lifetime support to scale their solutions’ impact. This ranges from initial monetary support, in the form of a stipend for up to three years, to strategic advice from a global network of peers, experts, and key decision-makers. Learn more about The Ashoka Fellowship programme and how you can get involved. Enabling our society to embrace social innovation and changemaking In the last 40 years, we have not only built the world’s largest community of leading social entrepreneurs but also continued to build and empower the field of social entrepreneurship. At the heart of this effort has always been the commitment to make systems change the central goal of social entrepreneurship. Learn more about our work in promoting systems change across sectors and how you can get involved. Activating all young people to be changemakers Our mission is to trigger a shift in mindsets across the learning ecosystem in the UK and Ireland so that the experience of education empowers every young person to be a changemaker. Our approach to achieving this is to find, connect and organise social innovators, government, foundations, thought leaders and young people themselves that are already pioneering the field of changemaking. And then, to organise these communities to lead initiatives which eventually tip ecosystems toward a future in which every young person is becoming a changemaker. Here are some examples of young changemakers.

What makes a boundary? How we circumnavigate London is often imagined through its hard materiality of bricks and roads, staggered by open, green spaces and meandering waterways. Yet the sensory experience of moving through the city plays a significant role in how we percieve place, define neighbourhoods, and establish routes and routines. In mid June, Social Life hosted a workshop as part of the London Festival of Architecture, which aimed to explore how sight, smell and sound impact our perceptions of boundaries. Our approach drew closely from a toolkit developed by Saffron Woodcraft and Connie Smith at UCL's Insitute for Global Prosperity - the 'Sensory Notation Toolkit' - which was created with the intention for 'researchers to become alert to their different sense and how these are stimulated by particular environments.' Workshop participants walked with us on a short route around Elephand & Castle. At each stop we asked participants to record their sensory stimulation on a scale of 1-5 for each of the six sense: visual, aural, kinetic, thermal and chemical. We used a visual sensory chart to capture the data to understand what the concurrent themes were for each space and overall which space had the highest and lowest level of sensory stimulation. Building on Social Life's earlier work on sensory stimulation and psychgeography in our local area, our 2017 'Feeling of the Place' project, the workshop aimed to look more closely at the relationship between our sense and how this guides our perception of boundaries. The sensory walk was an exercise on connecting sights, smells and sounds as elements of boundary making and unmaking. Two boundaries were chosen for the exercise, Strata Tower by Elephant and Castle roundabout and a pedestrial barrier in the Newington Estate close to Peacock Yard where Social Life is based. Participants were asked to stop on either side of the 'boundary' and record their sensory stimulation. The stops differed dramatically. Whilst one was located in the middle of a blooming community garden others were located right at the foot of Strata Tower, surrounded by the hustle and bustle of urban life. They were however only a short walk apart. The responses were fairly predictable. Participants noted feeling unwelcome and feelings of unpleasantness in areas that were less human scale and contained less greenery. Aural stimualtion - negative or positive - scored highly for many participants with many connecting unpleasant feelings with wind, loud noises and also temperature.

FGM Specialist Network

fgm specialist network

In 2013, the Royal College of Midwives (RCM) and our partners (Community Practitioners and Health Visitors Association (CPHVA), Royal College of Nursing (RCN), Royal College of Obstetricians & Gynaecologists (RCOG), Royal College of Paediatrics & Child Health (RCPCH), Human Rights Organisations such as Equality Now, FORWARD and other charities, activists and survivors) came together to produce the Intercollegiate Recommendations for identifying, Recording and Reporting in the UK which formed the basis for government actions to End FGM. Since then, we continue to work with our partners to lobby the government for services and support for survivors of FGM, raise public awareness and advocate for training and support for health and social care professionals and those who work with women and children. Some of these initiatives aim to support health professionals and build links with communities where FGM is practised, so that we can highlight the health and psychological impact of FGM. They also include training such as e-learning modules, and a variety of FGM related resources and tools specifically aimed at Specialist Midwives. With funding from the Department of Health and NHS England, we have jointly developed this discrete e-platform aimed at Specialist FGM Midwives, doctors, health visitors, nurses, students and relevant health and social care professionals, as a means of creating a virtual forum of support where relevant resources can be accessed, including links to appropriate data on FGM. The e-network would also act as a confidential platform for discussion of issues or specific problems, and for sharing information and best practice in a safe space There are also discussion groups available to non-health professionals involved in the campaign against FGM. It is hoped that members would come together at least once a year for a conference or workshop. Why you should be a member Membership of the e-platform enables you to be part of a virtual community of health and social care professionals, working to support girls and women at risk of FGM, gives you access to evidence abased resources and experts. You will be part of the discussion groups and can participate in subject matter discussions, share your expertise and information. Seek help and support and gain access to tools and learning resources. Once a year, you will be able to present your work at the annual event and be part of a larger strategic network

Furnished houses have become an increasingly popular choice for many renters, offering a range of benefits that cater to various lifestyles. Whether you're a professional, a student, or someone who frequently relocates, furnished homes provide a level of convenience and comfort that is hard to beat. Let's delve into the reasons why furnished houses are the best option for modern living. CONVENIENCE AND EASE OF MOVING READY-TO-MOVE-IN One of the primary advantages of Furnished Houses In Lahore [https://iharent.com/] is the immediate readiness for occupancy. You don't have to worry about the time-consuming and often stressful process of buying, transporting, and arranging furniture. Everything you need is already in place, allowing you to move in and start living right away. HASSLE-FREE SETUP Setting up a new home can be daunting, especially if you have to start from scratch. Furnished houses eliminate this hassle by providing all the necessary furniture and appliances. This ease of setup means you can focus on other important aspects of your move, such as adjusting to a new job or school. COST EFFICIENCY NO FURNITURE PURCHASE REQUIRED Furnishing a home can be a significant financial burden. By choosing a furnished house, you save a considerable amount of money that would otherwise be spent on purchasing furniture and household items. This cost-saving is particularly beneficial for short-term renters or those who frequently relocate. REDUCED MOVING COSTS Moving furniture can be expensive, especially if you have to hire professional movers or rent a truck. Furnished homes negate this cost, as you only need to transport your personal belongings. This reduction in moving expenses makes furnished houses a more economical choice. FLEXIBLE LEASE TERMS Many furnished rentals offer flexible lease terms, catering to both short-term and long-term stays. This flexibility is ideal for people with unpredictable schedules, such as corporate professionals, interns, or travelers, allowing them to find accommodation that fits their needs without being locked into lengthy contracts. TIME-SAVING NO TIME SPENT ON FURNITURE SHOPPING Finding the right furniture can be a time-consuming process, involving numerous trips to stores and hours spent online searching for the perfect pieces. Furnished houses save you this time by providing a fully equipped living space, so you can spend your time on more enjoyable or productive activities. QUICK AND EASY SETUP The immediate availability of a furnished home means you can set up your new living space in no time. There's no need to wait for furniture deliveries or spend weekends assembling flat-pack furniture. You can simply move in, unpack your clothes and personal items, and start enjoying your new home. PROFESSIONAL AND STYLISH INTERIORS EXPERTLY DECORATED SPACES Furnished houses are often professionally decorated, ensuring that the interior design is both functional and aesthetically pleasing. This professional touch can make your living environment more comfortable and enjoyable, providing a home that feels well put together and inviting. CONSISTENT STYLE AND QUALITY With a furnished home, you can expect a consistent style throughout the house, with furniture and decor that complement each other. This consistency creates a harmonious living space that is both attractive and comfortable. Additionally, furnished rentals often feature higher quality furniture than what you might purchase on a budget, enhancing your living experience. IDEAL FOR VARIOUS LIFESTYLES PERFECT FOR PROFESSIONALS For corporate professionals or those relocating for work, furnished houses offer a hassle-free solution. The ability to move into a fully equipped home means you can focus on your job without the distraction of setting up a new household. This ease of transition is particularly beneficial for busy professionals who need to hit the ground running in their new location. STUDENT-FRIENDLY OPTIONS International students or those studying far from home can greatly benefit from furnished rentals. These homes provide all the essentials, making it easier for students to settle in quickly and focus on their studies. The availability of study desks, comfortable living areas, and essential appliances creates a conducive environment for academic success. SUITABLE FOR FREQUENT MOVERS For individuals who move frequently, such as military personnel, consultants, or digital nomads, furnished houses offer unmatched convenience. The ability to relocate without the burden of moving furniture simplifies the process, allowing for a smoother and less stressful transition between homes. MINIMAL MAINTENANCE AND RESPONSIBILITIES LANDLORD TAKES CARE OF REPAIRS In a furnished rental, the landlord typically takes responsibility for maintaining the furniture and appliances provided. This arrangement means that if anything breaks or needs repair, it's not your financial or logistical burden to bear. This reduced responsibility can be a significant relief, especially for busy individuals. LESS WEAR AND TEAR Furnished homes often experience less wear and tear on personal belongings since the provided furniture is designed for durability. Additionally, tenants are less likely to use their own furniture, reducing the chances of damage during moves. This preservation of personal items can be a considerable advantage over time. ENHANCED SECURITY AND AMENITIES SECURE BUILDINGS Furnished rentals are frequently located in secure buildings with additional safety features such as security cameras, gated entries, and on-site security personnel. This enhanced security provides peace of mind for tenants, knowing that their home and belongings are well-protected. ACCESS TO AMENITIES Many Furnished Houses In Paragon City [https://iharent.com/places/house-no-638-woods-block-5-marla-3-beds-paragon-city-lahore/] rentals come with access to shared amenities like gyms, swimming pools, and communal lounges. These facilities can enhance your living experience, providing opportunities for recreation, fitness, and socializing without the need to leave your building. ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS REDUCED WASTE Choosing a furnished home can be an environmentally friendly decision. By utilizing the existing furniture and appliances, you reduce the demand for new products, which in turn decreases waste and conserves resources. This sustainable living choice can have a positive impact on the environment. LOWER CARBON FOOTPRINT The process of manufacturing, transporting, and disposing of furniture contributes to carbon emissions. By living in a furnished home, you reduce the need for these activities, thereby lowering your overall carbon footprint. This eco-conscious decision supports a more sustainable lifestyle. FLEXIBILITY IN PERSONALIZATION ADDING PERSONAL TOUCHES While furnished homes come equipped with essential items, they still offer the flexibility to personalize the space. You can add your own decorative touches, such as artwork, cushions, and plants, to make the home feel uniquely yours without the need for permanent changes. TEMPORARY YET CUSTOMIZABLE Furnished homes provide a great balance between temporary living and personalization. You can enjoy the convenience of a fully equipped home while still being able to customize the decor to your taste. This flexibility is particularly appealing for those who value a personalized living environment without the long-term commitment. CONCLUSION Furnished houses offer a range of benefits that make them an excellent choice for many renters. From the convenience of a ready-to-move-in home to the cost savings and reduced maintenance responsibilities, furnished rentals simplify the process of finding and settling into a new place. Whether you're a professional, a student, or someone who moves frequently, furnished homes provide a comfortable, stylish, and hassle-free living solution. Consider the advantages of furnished living for your next move and experience the ease and comfort it brings.
