Exeter-based employment lawyer joins Westbank Community Health and Care’s Board of Trustees

The Devon-wide health and wellbeing charity, Westbank Community Health and Care, is delighted to welcome lawyer Henry Cross as its newest Trustee. Henry is a Senior Associate at Michelmores, specialising in employment law.

A father-of-two from Exeter, Henry already had a broad awareness of the charity when he met Westbank’s Head of Carers Services, Andy Hood, at a networking event a few years ago.

Henry says, “I knew I...

Keep it clean and safe on Bonfire Night

The Environment Agency is asking people planning a Guy Fawkes bonfire to make sure they only burn paper, leaves, wood and cardboard and any waste is kept securely before being burned.

Every year families use old bits of furniture to build up a bonfire and stuff the Guy with scraps of used foam or old clothing. But it is important to remember the burning of most types of waste is illegal. Setting fire to treated wood, tyres, plastics, rubber and oil can seriously harm health and pollute the environment.

It is also important to prevent others from dumping illegal waste on...

Ricky Pellow says Exeter Chiefs must make the most of home advantage in this next fortnight, if they are to keep alive their dreams of retaining the Premiership Rugby Cup.

Down 22-10 entering into the final quarter at Kingston Park, the Chiefs dug deep into their reserves to fashion a determined fightback that yielded two tries and...

ToodleBit encourages children to use construct kits to make a range of products from electrical circuit-based games, traffic light systems through to small-scale remote-control buggies.

“The initial idea came out of a desire to get pupils coding using physical devices, but on a limited budget, and in a way that could also improve the confidence of other teachers when they provide tuition on computing,” says...
