Green Tips There are a few things we can all do to have a positive impact on the planet.

Please let us know of any ideas you have to include in our Green Tips section.

Don’t buy bottled water We are in a privileged position here in the UK that the water that comes from our taps is drinkable. Bottles of water are nothing more than filtered tap water most often, and it takes 9 bottles of water to make the 1 that you drink. The bottles also end up in the waste system and are too often not recycled. This change could have a huge impact on the planet, and save you money at the same time. Carry a reusable bottle with you wherever you go to avoid getting caught. Watch this video for more information.

Solent Laryngectomy Club Last month we ran a piece in Network about the Solent Laryngectomy Club, which has been going for 20 years and is seeking new members. Anyone interested in joining the club should call 01243 572356 or email annmyers@live.co.uk.

The Solent Laryngectomy Club is for those who have had throat cancer and live within the Solent Area. The club meets on the second Tuesday of each month at 12.30pm at Denvilles Club, 33 Emsworth Road, Havant PO9 2SN. There is ample parking and Denvilles allows the club the use of one of their rooms without payment.

The members have a light lunch (mostly soup or sandwiches) which they pay for as individuals, and they run a raffle which pays for the coffee.

The Solent Laryngectomy Club asks you to spread the word and make people aware of them through your contacts and networks, as most of the members have joined as the result of chance encounters at follow up clinics, rather than through medical referrals.

Information Volunteering may boost mental wellbeing in older adults A new UK-based study, has found that volunteering is associated with increased mental wellbeing; but mainly in adults aged between 40 and 70. Researchers used data from the British Household Panel Survey, which is an ongoing survey designed to track social and public health trends.

Researchers found that, generally, people's health and mental wellbeing score got worse as they got older. However, when people got over the age of 40-45, while scores generally continued to get worse for those who never volunteered, they got better for those who did any volunteering.

The study was carried out by three researchers from the University of Southampton and University of Birmingham, and was funded by the Economic and Social Research Council, the Office for the Third Sector, and the Barrow Cadbury Trust through the Third Sector Research Centre.

Information Communication Support Cards

Preventing Terrorism and Radicalisation Within Our Communities What is Prevent?

Prevent is the name given to a national strategy which aims to stop people from becoming violent extremists or supporting terrorism or violent extremism.

All forms of extremism Prevent aims to deal with all forms of extremism including Far Right racist extremism, animal rights extremism and religious extremism.

Healthwatch Hampshire is piloting an “I need communication support” card with people from ethnic minority communities in Eastleigh. The personalised card is given to people who speak limited English and includes their name, NHS number and the language they require an interpreter for. The card can be shown to GP practice or hospital staff to prompt them to arrange an interpreter, and add this communication support need to the patient’s record.

The idea for the card came from ethnic minority communities themselves during research funded by Healthwatch Hampshire. The card will also be piloted with people who have sensory impairments in the Andover area later in the year.

Piano offered free of charge

A member of the public is looking for a home for a piano and wondered whether any groups or organisations night like it. It’s an old upright overstrung piano manufactured by Boyd in 1910.

Despite its age it’s in good condition and plays well, though may need a tune up. If you are interested please contact Julia Allan on 023 8090 2457 or jallan@1community.org.uk and she will put you in touch with the donor. The recipient would be responsible for removals.

Information

Advice for employers and businesses on the use of e-cigarettes (vaping) Public Health England (PHE) has published framework advice for employers and businesses to help them create their own policies on the use of e-cigarettes (vaping). Vaping is not covered by the current smokefree legislation which prohibits smoking in enclosed public places and workplaces, on public transport and in vehicles used for work and therefore it is at employers’ discretion whether to ban vaping in the workplace, or to allow it, say, in designated areas.

There are now 2.8 million e-cigarette users in the UK, the vast majority of which are smokers or ex-smokers, and therefore PHE recommends that employers and businesses should put an appropriate policy in place. PHE’s advice helps employers and businesses create vaping policies that will support smokers to quit and stay smokefree,

while still managing any risks. The advice acknowledges that there is no one-size-fits-all approach, but it sets out five important principles to help guide the creation of a vaping policy based on its current knowledge of e-cigarettes.

PHE states that vaping is significantly less harmful than smoking tobacco, plus e-cigarettes are helping many smokers to quit.

In addition, there is currently no evidence of harm from secondhand e-cigarette vapour.

There is also no evidence that ecigarettes act as a gateway to smoking for young people. So, PHE advises that policies should take account of this evidence and clearly distinguish vaping from smoking.

The five principles are: 1.

Making clear the distinction between vaping and smoking.

2.

Ensuring policies are informed by the evidence on health risks to bystanders.

3.

Identifying and managing risks of uptake by children and young people.

4.

Supporting smokers to stop smoking and stay smokefree.

5.

Supporting compliance with smokefree law and policies.
