The public can now get clear guidance on what health information can be trusted following the launch of an Information Standard.

There are over 50,000 health information providers in the UK and research had shown the general public often gets confused about which ones it can trust.

NCVO is launching the Party Conference Bursary scheme for 2010 which will allow 7 smaller organisations to attend each party conference and have their voices heard at a national level.

What’s on offer?

Successful organisations will receive a two-day pass to the Labour, Conservative or Liberal Democrat Party Conference, 1 night’s accommodation and reasonable travel costs to and from the party conference. The provisional days to attend each conference are the Monday and Tuesday, although this may be subject to change.

There is a huge interest in 'growing your own' with people wanting to get more in touch with where their food comes from, as well as staying active and spending more time outdoors.

About 300,000 gardeners in England already have allotments but demand still outstrips supply and the Government is therefore announcing new ways of meeting people's desire to dig in.

Are you an experienced allotment holder? Or are you just about to get your first plot? Harvest is working with the Allotment Federation and the council to help find more land for allotments and to increase their productivity.

As part of a "day of action", the residents of Brunswick and Regency areas community groups, LAT's and Neighbourhood Action Group are reporting all street obstructions, A Boards and other access issues along the Western Road in Hove to the Castle Square corridor. The reports include any over sized boards, premises not displaying the council licence, and where the amount of items exceeds the licence.

fifth year of the campaign taking place between 24 July and 1 August to be the biggest and best yet, we would like as many people as possible to get into parks to join our campaign for continued investment and support for these valuable community assets.

How to get involved

For the campaign to realise its potential, we need as many community groups to show their support as possible. Some simple ways to get involved:
