Here at The Community Church Honiton, both myself and Sean are passionate about seeing children reach their full potential. Quite often children can be disheartened by academic pressures and lose the drive to engage their vocational talents. We run The Vault, an after-school drop in with a relaxed, “youth club” vibe. We noticed quite quickly that one of the most popular activities we provided was karaoke. We also noticed some unique and fantastic vocal talent amongst the young people. Most of these children are shy and understating when it comes to their talent and need an environment away...

91% of University of Exeter students in their final year are satisfied with the quality of their university course.
The latest National Student Survey (NSS) has found that 85% of students are satisfied with their degree, meaning the University of Exeter has maintained its top 10 position for its ninth year, since the survey’s launch.
The University of Exeter usually scores highly on league tables and, in 2012, was deemed “Sunday Times University of the Year 2012/13”.
Professor Janice Kay, Deputy Vice-Chancellor of the University of Exeter, said:
The biggest issue in new under resourced businesses is the large gap between “think and do” and that goes both ways to “do and don’t think” as well. People who spend their valuable time doing “don’t think” about their business, and people who think about their businesses, don’t have the time or resource to implement that thinking.
The problem is “I know what to do but I don’t know when I am going to do it” the most common cry in any young business and the biggest reason for them failing in the first three years. In any business there are things that have to be done, things that...

Essential improvement work is to be carried out on pavements in Exeter High Street next month.
The 11 week scheme, which will improve the surface of the footway on the majority of High Street, will start from the upper end, near Boots, on Monday 9 September.
No major excavation work will be carried out, but granite paving slabs which are cracked, loose or rocking will be replaced in order to prevent them becoming a safety issue.
The opportunity will also be taken to carry out some surface drainage work improvements.
