Things to get involved with...
Helping children get back on track...The NSPCC and ESRC (Economic and Social Research Council) will put out a call at the end of July for proposals contributing to their joint interests in mental health and the NSPCC’s new research programme: Helping children get back on track. The aim of this programme is to increase the evidence base about what kinds of therapeutic and/or social intervention can help children with experience of abuse. Full details will be provided with the tender at the end of July.

Things to eat...
Many years ago when Web 2.0 was a "new thing" I went on a training session to find out what it was all about. As part of that we were introduced to concept of a 'Blog' and one that we looked at was written by Clotilde Dusoulier who is a French food writer based in Paris -  writing in English. Her blog which she started in 2003 is called  Chocolate & Zucchini...and I have been following it ever since. If you want to you can follow it yourself or sign up to a newsletter she produces. I was particularly taken with this recipe and hope to try it out soon - Feta and fresh herb quick bread
