Hi, its Heather from Calm Mediation here.
Could your team benefit from feeling more empowered in dealing between conflict with service users, as well as within your organisation?
I am holding a half-day Community Mediation Taster workshop in September. It would be great to see you and do forward this to anyone else who may be interested.
Thanks!
PS. I recently started using LinkedIn and would love to connect with you on there.
If you need to find grants for your charity or project, DSC’s flagship guide is your definitive information source to the 1,000 largest grant-makers in the UK.
The Guide to Major Trusts 2019/20 is the UK’s definitive detailed guide to grant funding providing thorough backgrounds on grant sources, as well as commentary and advice on how to apply and what grant-makers are looking for.
It offers information on the 1,000 largest grant-makers which each give away a total over £5 billion.
‘With over 9,000 trusts distributing charitable funding, identifying those sympathetic to our cause can be time consuming. The Guide to Major Trusts has been an invaluable resource in making the task more time and energy efficient. It’s well organised, easy to use and the comprehensive structure helps narrow down searches with confidence.’

As many of you will know, our two sites, Dawes Road Hub and Freston Road Hub offer fantastic workspace and meeting rooms, providing flexible, accessible and affordable space, ideal for start ups and growing businesses, with free wifi, unlimited tea and coffee (and the occasional cake!) and a friendly and welcoming reception service – all included in our rates. Both Dawes Road and Freston Road Hubs offer great space for all kinds of businesses and are both well served by public transport. Sobus hub members can use space at either or both of the sites, offering you the flexibility to work from different locations as and when you need to.
Hot desks are available from £15 and permanent desks can be rented from £260 + VAT a month. We also offer a mailbox service for £14 + VAT per month. We’re really keen to make sure the hubs offer something special for residents, and so have lots of special offers and discounted rates for local people. At the Dawes Road Hub, special rates are available to local 3rd sector organisations and at Freston Road Hub, special offers are available to local residents from the area, including reduced desk hire and room booking rates. Business support will also be available through Freston Road for those looking for help and advice to develop and grow their businesses.
For further information please contact Dawes Road Hub on 020 7952 1230 or Freston Road Hub on 020 7952 2610 or email: info@sobus.org.uk
We formally launched the Freston Road Hub on Friday 17th August, with tea and cake on the terrace and a buzz of friendly visitors throughout the afternoon. Guests met our current licensees and spent a relaxed few hours networking and chatting with likeminded people from a range of different organisations and backgrounds.
The hubs already attract an eclectic range of businesses including youth organisations, interior designers, IT companies, a hat designer, health care trainers, NHS partners and accountants. IT consultant Derek White, of Banana IT Solutions, which has space at the Freston Road Hub said: “As a local resident and formerly a member of a local residents’ association, I’ve been involved in the development of this space for the last four years. It’s fantastic to finally see it open and to now be involved as a small business, making use of this amazing facility. I love that I can come and go as I please, and have space to hold meetings, deliver training and grow my business.”

Dear Sobus Community,
My name is Zoltan, I’m a Social Entrepreneur and the Founder at ECHO an innovative online movement, and I am here to shake things up in the non-profit sector.
I’m currently mapping out charities in London, and I am looking for potential partners to collaborate with.
The main reason for that because we sadly realised there is an injustice in the UK charity sector where the largest 1.2% of charities in the UK receive 70% of the donations. Medium and small-sized charities have no chance to keep up with the marketing battle for publicity.
Have you ever experienced that too? I bet you have.
Our aim is not only to help you raising money but to reach out for the wider public by introducing them your goals, achievements, dedication and passion.
Did you know, that
– by 2019, global consumer Internet video traffic will account for 80% of all consumer Internet traffic?
– YouTube reports mobile video consumption rises 100% every year.
Incredible numbers, aren’t they?
Also, current donation systems are outdated, and they don’t allow the engagement, the transparent communication and the satisfaction people expect from non-profits.
That is why we are launching a whole new cycle of crowd-accelerated innovation, called ECHO.
We believe the word needs to be spread through cinematic short stories where donors can interact with you in person and share your story with the rest of the world to invite them on an educative journey and mobilise them to become actively involved.
These viral videos would provide you and the cause you fight for a well-deserved visibility in a way that all the participants could greatly benefit.
Oh, and it wouldn’t cost you a penny as ECHO is established to support small and medium-sized charities like yours.
It is pretty much a no-brainer, isn’t it?
If you’d like to come on board, please send us a message on
zoltan@echofriends.org.uk,
visit our website, www.echofriends.org.uk,
or follow us on social media, Twitter and Facebook.
Join us, and together we will truly be able to “Spread the World”!
Want to get involved?
If so, we would like your help! The Cancer Screening and Prevention Research Group (CSPRG) at Imperial College London are looking for individuals from a diverse range of backgrounds to become Public Patient Representatives for their new research project called FIT for Screening.
This year, the NHS English Bowel Cancer Screening Programme (BCSP) is introducing a new bowel cancer screening test called FIT (faecal immunochemical test) to all men and women aged 60 years and over. FIT detects blood hidden in stool, and currently no evidence or research exists that indicates the ‘ideal’ level which the BCSP should use, to indicate a positive result and detect as many bowel cancers as possible. The FIT for Screening study aims to look into this further. Imperial would like to research what this ideal level should be and would like members of the public to help them shape their research proposal and plan.
The Public Patient Representative role is initially for 1 year and will be reviewed annually. The role involves reading about the study and a simple summary and providing us your thoughts on our research plans. You will need access to a computer and email to receive these documents. You will also be required to attend two half-day workshops at the CSPRG office and participate in activities and discussions with other patient/public representatives. The CSPRG is based at St Mary’s Hospital in Paddington.
You will be reimbursed for your time and reasonable travel expenses throughout the duration of your involvement. Payment for reviewing documents will range from £50 – £200 depending on the length of the document. For attending workshops and completing shorter study activities, payment will range from £25 – £150.
Please note, this role does not require any previous experience in public/patient involvement or clinical research. You will be supported and trained on all aspects of the study, with a member of the CSPRG team appointed as a point of contact at all times.
If you would like to know more, please contact: Bhavita Patel. Email: cancerscreen@imperial.ac.uk
