When traipsing through a busy city centre or strolling through rural areas, pulling out a huge paper map that takes 10 minutes to pinpoint where you are, is a thing of the past. It seems now that we no longer rely on once trusty maps but have near enough fully turned to digital navigation, as 85% of 18-24 year olds do not know how to read a map.
It was around six years ago that maps became available for mobile, revolutionising the way we navigated. Now, around 45% of 18-24 year olds utilise maps on their smartphone to navigate and a third (32%) are totally reliant on the internet...
People in the South West believe children should be taught CPR in schools, according to new research by the British Heart Foundation (BHF).
The BHF polled over 2,000 people and found that 89% of people in the South West thought that children should leave secondary school knowing the life-saving skill.
More than 30,000 people have a cardiac arrest outside of hospital, but less than one-in-ten survive - partly because people don’t have the skills or confidence to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
Survival rates in the UK are much lower than other countries...
As Twelfth Night approaches, and thoughts turn to ‘un-decking’ the halls and taking down the tree, the Woodland Trust is urging everyone to help protect the UK’s woodland by dropping their Christmas cards off at their local M&S store.
For every 1,000 cards recycled in store, M&S will fund the planting of one tree.
The UK is already 8,135 trees richer thanks to customers’ efforts last year – when a staggering 8.1 million cards were dropped into M&S stores. This season, special card collection bins are already in M&S stores* - where they will stay until 31...
The Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital is urging anyone who has suffered from symptoms of the highly infectious Norovirus bug to stay away from the hospital until they have been free of the symptoms for at least 48 hours. Cases of Norovirus, which causes vomiting and diarrhoea and is more common in the winter months, have been rising at the RD&E over the Christmas and New Year period, placing extra pressure on hospital bed capacity at a very busy time for the hospital. At the current time the hospital has closed Lowman and Okement wards and isolated areas in three other wards – Torridge,...

It all began with a home fixture against Gloucester and now 99 Aviva Premiership games later, it’s the Cherry & Whites who again provide the opposition for Exeter Chiefs as they prepare to engage in their 100th top flight game tomorrow (4:30pm).
Back in September 2010, Rob Baxter’s side wasted little time in introducing themselves to English rugby’s top table for the first time. Taking little notice of Gloucester’s proven Premiership credentials, the new kids on the block sounded their future intent by bloodying the nose of their rivals, claiming a memorable 22-10 success at...
Only A Fool... is a show based on Gogol's The Government Inspector.
The actors explored ideas around what makes us do foolish things and the sometimes the very thin line that can divide comedy and tragedy in human nature.
The show is fun, fast paced and uses episodic action and multi rolling to explore the use of the clown and character work within storytelling.
