Read the bid documents - the more you understand the background and purpose behind the bidding round, the better you will be able to target the bid. Don \'t be frightened of foreign bidding language (e.g., outcomes). Learn the basic terminology - it gets easier with practice! Answer the questions that are asked. Be realistic - do not exaggerate what can be achieved. Think like a scorer - put yourself in the place of the person assessing the bid. Get a copy of the scoring criteria if possible. Review the bid - ask someone not involved with the bid preparation process to read it through. Ask for help - the funding bodies themselves are often prepared to offer help for potential bidders.

At half term 24 children enjoyed horse riding at Runningwell Equestrian Centre thanks to funding from Happy Days. More places are available for the Christmas holidays.  A number of our young carers have benefited from the Young Carer Direct Support Fund. This is a fund that was set up by Essex County Council to enable young carers to access respite funding in a timely way ensuring they have access to opportunities equal to their peers regardless of the situation. So far eleven young carers have benefited from this fund mainly through accessing school holidays and two have had equipment bought for them to enable them to take part in other activities. We are currently awaiting the outcome of two more applications.  Earlier in the year our group took part in the filming of a promotional DVD for Essex County Council. We now have copies of this and are more than happy to bring it along to group meetings to raise awareness of young carers.

There are so many questions -  What are the alternatives?   Who pays for what?   What am I entitled to?   What kind of home would be suitable?   Where can I get help and support after I have moved?  Moving into long term care is seldom easy; it can mean a momentous change in lifestyle and relationships. Decisions are often made when the older person is feeling particularly vulnerable and they and their families can feel lost in the mire of confusing information. People struggling with the issue of residential care need access to good independent information, combined with personal advice, guidance and support as appropriate to their own individual circumstances. To help meet this need, a number of volunteers are actively developing a local branch of the Relatives and Residents Association. Other partners in this initiative are: Help the Aged, Age Concern, Essex Independent Care Association, Excel Care Holdings; Maldon Carers; North East Carers Support and the Dengie Project Trust. The initiative is being supported by Essex County Council and local Primary Care Trusts. The Relatives and Residents Association (Essex) understand that being properly informed and supported is key to making sound decisions, they are therefore working in close relationships with the national Relatives and Residents Association, information on the national body can be found at www.reires.org. Once established the R&RA(E) will aim to help local people ask the right questions, find reliable answers, make good decisions and maintain the best possible quality of life after moving into a care home. There is no intention of competing with existing organisations or duplicating the good work they are doing. The job of the local R&RA(E) will be to support people through the process and help them locate and make best use of the services and facilities most relevant to their individual needs. In October the R&RA(E) will be launching its services, these will include two local rate telephone Helplines, one especially for staff, relatives and residents of residential care homes, and the other for the local community. Along with the Helpline, the R&RA(E) will be promoting a new website which will give local information and signpost the viewer to appropriate services and resources. The R&RA(E) is also hoping to attract volunteers who will act as local representatives, promoting the services of the Association and if appropriate providing fact-to-face support, relevant training and support will be given. o If you would like to know more about this new Association for Essex, if you are interested in volunteering pportunities, or would like to support this initiative in any way, please contact the chairman of the R&RA(E) - Barbara Williamson: Barbara.williamson@ntlworld.com or phone Jan Lockyer, ECC Joint Project Manager - 01206 845131  15    COMMUNITY NEWS  Southend University Hospital  NHS Foundation Trust  LISTENING AND LEARNING  For some years Southend University Hospital Foundation Trust has ensured that the views of those using its services are used wherever possible to make improvements to existing services or when new services are being planned. We do this in a variety of ways ranging from a formal public consultation when significant changes to the hospital are planned to asking patients and carers using a particular service to comment on their experiences. It is also very important that comments or concerns raised via the hospital \'s Patient Advice & Liaison Service (PALS) contribute to how the Trust gains knowledge from these issues. We hope this will assist our patients, their carers and visitors to have confidence that our staff listen and learn from these experiences. The same process is followed as a consequence of the investigation of formal complaints to the trust and the completion of comment cards which are made available throughout the hospital. Southend Hospital was one of the first in England to fully implement PALS, and it has been in place since April 2003. The service is designed to provide an easily accessible point of contact for those who have concerns or require information about any of the hospital \'s services. Sometimes the information that is provided to those using health services may not be clear and it is important, as well as providing clarification if required, that our staff can take action to ensure that matters are improved. Anonymous examples of issues raised via PALS and the formal complaints service are used during staff training sessions. This helps us to illustrate the experiences of our patients or their loved ones and can have a great impact on those responsible for delivering patient care or other hospital services. There are already strong networks in place between PALS in the East of England and this allows for problems involving a number of health providers: GP, ambulance and hospital to be resolved more quickly for the patient. Changes planned by Government to bring together health and social care will provide us with many welcome and additional opportunities to further improve our patients \' experiences. We would appreciate your understanding if you are unable to immediately get through on the PALS telephone line as the phone does get extremely busy at times, or our PALS Officer may be elsewhere in the hospital. Please do leave a message as your call will be responded to as soon as possible, and the next working day if made out of working hours, at Bank Holidays or weekends.

Check if there is a marked van nearby, if any doubt, call the Water Companies to check if there should be anyone working in your street. Essex and Suffolk Water 0845 7820 9999. Anglian Water 0800 145 145 Those Gas Men With all the gas pipe replacement works going on there is potential for abuse of the right to access properties for checks on meters and gas appliances. All of the operatives should carry ID cards and if there is any uncertainty, call the Gas Alliance number 0800 096 5678, or the Skanska McNicholas number that is on all of the railings around the holes in the road. The fitters often need garages and doors left open for a while so there is also a risk of opportunist theft by others. New Waste Bins The new recycling and waste collection scheme in Rochford, whilst admirable, means that most houses now have three bins. It is also potentially an advertisement that you are not at home if they are left out. Where possible get a neighbour to put your bins away if you are going to be out all day or on holiday. If possible store the bins where they cannot be used as a ladder to gain easy entry to an upper window. Neighbourhood Action Panels (NAPS) A NAP consists of people who live or work in the neighbourhood or those who provide a service to the local community. A NAP, is a regular local meeting. Its purpose is to assess issues raised by the local community, agree community priorities and decide upon a realistic and achievable course of action to address them. The issues raised will be those identified through various methods of engagement carried out by the policing team, or those identified to the other members of the NAP through their own consultation. Priorities are set by the community without influence from the police. If you think you can contribute to your local NAP please check the dates and venues on the Rochford Police Website: http://www.essexpolice.org/yourarea/y_ds_roc.php. You can contact your local Neighbourhood Specialist Officer via the non-emergency number 0300 333 4444 otherwise give us a call at NHW and we will give you the contacts and dates, the meetings are usually in the evenings.  17    COMMUNITY NEWS  DO YOU NEED A HELPING HAND TO ENLIST NEW MEMBERS?

The Directors of the Association have all taken on individual portfolios with considerable enthusiasm. These portfolios cover all of the service areas in which the Association is involved and this arrangement is proving very successful and is providing much appreciated liaison and management support to the service heads. The Young Carers Service, managed by Marion Horsley, is going from strength to strength providing support for some 60 plus children and this number is continuing to grow. This service is providing much needed contact for those children and the dedication and hard work put in by Marion and her team is of tremendous value within the community. A new support service for Adult Carers is being considered and it is hoped this service will be introduced during 2008.  The Lapttop Project managed by Ian Climspon is continuing to provide a very useful service within the There has again this year been very pleasing elderly community towards whom the project is progress in the various service fields and for this we directed.

My next task was to gain `Volunteer Centre Accreditation \' with Volunteering England. This was an arduous task involving a complete review of the service we provided.

These events have a wide range of participating organisations promoting and informing on their activities. They are an opportunity to showcase your involvement in the community. They have been well supported by our local MPs and Council Chairmen over the years as well as the general public ­ more people attending these free events would always be welcome. For the first 4 years they were held annually in October but the last event was in February 2008 and was combined with a Funding Fair. In response to feedback received from the exit questionnaires and exhibiting organisations, a further event is being held on Saturday 29th November 2008 at The Mill, Bellingham Lane, Rayleigh between 10.00 am and 2.00 pm. Why not put the date on your diary now. 20 years of RRAVS As reported in the RRAVS NEWS Winter 2007/08 edition, RRAVS celebrated its 20th Anniversary in March 2008. We will be looking at events during the year but to recognise this important milestone, RRAVS has introduced a Volunteer Award Scheme to recognise those volunteers who have given long service to their community. Please see the enclosed `flyer \' if you would like to nominate someone special who you think should be recognised. The deadline date for receipt of nominations is 23rd May. Rochford Compact At this time last year, a review of the Rochford Compact had just been completed. During the year the revised draft was ratified by the Rochford Local Strategic Partnership. In late 2007, four consultation `roadshow \' events were held across the District in Rayleigh, Hockley, Rochford and Great Wakering with direct review and feedback contribution. These responses have been analysed by the District Council and it is understood the Rochford Compact will be relaunched in the coming months. Newsletter Our quarterly newsletter, RRAVS NEWS, seems to get bigger with every issue. Its professional layout and presentation could not be done without the hard work and commitment of our Assistant Coordinator, Amanda Harris. Have you used RRAVS NEWS to promote or advise on your organisation, or included any events in the `Dates for your Diary \' section? Volunteer Centre (a final word........or number) Jo McPherson, our Volunteer Centre Manager, in her report made reference to the standardised system for marketing and monitoring volunteers and volunteer opportunities. Part of the monitoring requirement under our Service Level Agreements for our core funding requires statistical information on volunteering. To put the recording mechanisms of volunteering enquiries into numbers, during the past year (April 2007 to March 2008) our Volunteer Centre received 265 enquiries on volunteering opportunities, which is a massive 340% increase in the number of enquiries on the previous year. As a result, this increased the number of placements with various organisations. A win/win situation.  Policies and Procedures During the year a comprehensive review of our policies and procedures has been undertaken. These are designed to not only provide a safe workCongratulations and many thanks to Jo and her ing environment for our staff and volunteers, but dedicated team of volunteers. also to cover the way the Association works with its service users. HERE \'S LOOKING FORWARD TO ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL AND REWARDING YEAR AHEAD. RRAVS is happy to share these policies with our member organisations if it is felt they would be of Derek Helson benefit to your operation. RRAVS MANAGER  7    FUNDING NEWS  This year RRAVS Funding Fair was held in conjunction with our Awareness Day on the 15th February 2008. I would like to thank the Big Lottery, Essex Community Foundation, Community Initiatives Fund, Essex Environmental, GRANTfinder and Help the Aged for attending and setting up advice stalls on the day. Three seminars were also ran but unfortunately, hardly any individuals/groups took part - most disappointing!. My plan for next year is to invite CAVS (Castle Point CVS) and SAVS (Southend CVS) to hold a joint event at Mill Hall with around 20 funders attending. I am still in the planning stages so please look out for further information later in the year regarding this forthcoming event.

Marion Horsley PROJECT LEADER    MEMBER \'S NEWS  Sweyne Choral Society Hits the High Notes   In 1965 the idea came to William Arter, then Head of Music at Sweyne School, Rayleigh, that he would like as many scholars as possible to leave school with, as he put it,  at least one good oratorio tucked under their belts!  With this object in mind, he set about rehearsing the school choir in Handel \'s Messiah, but soon realised that some adult voices would be required to support the young ones and to provide the deeper tones. He therefore appealed to the pupils to bring along their dads, uncles, mums and aunts and anybody else they knew. This nucleus of an adult section was soon augmented as word got around amongst local church choirs and other friends, resulting in two hearty performances of Messiah on the 1st and 2nd of April 1966 after several months of rehearsals, with some seventy plus children supported by an adult section that became Sweyne Choral Society. choir, on the occasion of the 30th If you enjoy singing, why not Anniversary Concert in July 1995. join us?

After Haydn \'s Creation in 1967, Mr Arter unfortunately had to retire for health reasons whilst rehearsing Mendelssohn \'s Elijah. His place was taken by Roy Wales, soon to be followed by the legendary Gerwyn Parry. William Arter would, no doubt, be delighted to know that the choir he founded is still going strong and that there are still a few among us who remember that first Messiah!   Many will associate the choir with the charismatic Welshman, Gerwyn Parry, by far the choir \'s longest serving musical director (19681987). The choir flourished under his baton and membership reached over ninety in the `70s.  Over the years quite a number of highly respected soloists have performed with the choir.

We will do this by offering a mobile outreach service that is broken into two elements, `Health Monitoring and Advice \' and `Arts Classes. \' At Disability Essex we believe that art and craft can have many benefits to both the able and disabled. This is why we are offering your residents and members the opportunity to experience these benefits through our `Healthy Arts Project \'. Our Community Arts Officers There are two Community Arts Officers who work throughout Essex to provide you with the chance to partake in various activities. Both are CRB checked, have qualifications in art and experience of working with groups. They will be visiting member clubs throughout the county. Getting to know what the group \'s interests and abilities are and then find a local visiting speaker or demonstrator, who would be prepared to come to one of their meetings. Activities The physical and emotional benefits that come from artistic activities should be experienced by all. At Disability Essex we understand how to help disabled people connect with art. As Community Arts Officers we endeavour to provide a fun and fruitful time for all. Ask yourself: · What creative activities did I enjoy doing when I was younger? · Would I like to have a chance to do that again? We can help find ways of making that happen! We are open to all suggestions! Some possibilities of the areas which you may like to explore: Painting and Sculpture, Collage and Montage, Pottery and Ceramics (creation/decoration) Cardmaking, Flower arranging, Cake decorating and Dance and Drama These activities will be simple, but will be rewarding to both the individual and the group as a whole. The participant will be able to take great pride in what they have achieved or created and the aim will be to exhibit the final creations if they so wish. The objectives of these activities are to create a greater sense of achievement and self-belief for the individual, as well as to decrease the feelings of isolation. The Healthy Arts Project aims to make participants feel better about themselves. The activities are at no cost to you or your group! Please feel free to contact us at any time and we can discuss your ideas and requirements. We look forward to hearing from you and working with you in the future.

The aim of the Charity is to help children improve their lives on a daily basis and to become as independent as possible.  Brainwave has a team of Regional Family Co-ordinators who support families all over the country. A number of the Team are based in the South East. Gerry Gould the Family Co-ordinator for Essex, London, Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire and Middlesex explains.  `Since being with BRAINWAVE I \'ve met so many lovely families and shared in the excitement of seeing their children progress. Nothing can possibly be better than seeing a child crawl, or walk, when you know their parents have been previously told that nothing could be done for them.  Brainwave \'s aim is to help every child we see become much more functional in their everyday life and to become as independent as they possibly can. Families in the South-East will visit our new Therapy Centre in Witham, Essex, where the therapy team will spend two days with the family talking with the parents and assessing their child \'s potential. As BRAINWAVE aims at achieving progress in all areas of development, the therapy team will design a set of physical, cognitive, sensory and developmental exercises specifically suited for their child. Therapists then teach the parents how to carry out the exercises in their own home so they can take an active role in their child \'s progress, which gives parents a much greater sense of control over their situation.  The role of the Regional Family Co-ordinator is to support families locally, so we see them before they visit the South East Centre to explain what is involved, then afterwards we check to see they \'re happy with how it \'s all going and also keep them in close touch with the therapy team. We research lots of varied information which might be helpful to them and organise get-togethers and social events that the families can really enjoy. We also follow up any funding opportunities which may arise and give talks/presentations about BRAINWAVE to other organisations and agencies. \' If you would like to know more about BRAINWAVE, please contact the Centre direct on 01376 503608 or visit our website:www.brainwave.org.uk Gerry Gould ­ Regional Family Co-ordinator can be contacted on (01268) 561784 or (07725) 956014  15    MEMBERS NEWS  We don \'t know why Parkinson \'s happens--scientists are always looking for answers to this.

Rochford District Council in partnership with Rochford Sports Council and The Deanes School are offering the opportunity to attend the above leadership course free of charge. The Level 2 Award in Community Sports Leadership gives people aged 16 and upwards the skills needed to plan and deliver safe sporting and recreational activities. The Award develops vital leadership skills such as communication, organisation and motivation, whilst instilling the confidence and desire in people to make a difference within their own communities. The qualification is practical in nature, with an emphasis on learning through doing and applying knowledge, rather than through theory.

It was a very hot day but thoroughly enjoyed by all that went. We were very pleased that a young carer from the Rochford scheme won the photographic competition with the theme of the Best Smile. On The 9th July Cllr Mavis Webster presented her with her prizes. She is now a lucky owner of a Nintendo Wii and a PS3. Over the summer holidays we will be opening a drop-in session at the Youth Centre on a Wednesday together with drama and dance sessions at Mushroom Theatre and Kwik Cricket at Maldon where we will join other schemes for a competition.

CARERS PROJECT  Funded by Essex County Council working in partnership with the Youth Service  We start with the good news, that we will be opening a second group in Rochford, at the Children \'s Centre based at Watermans School.

We are delighted to be joined by two new volunteers, Linda and Sarah. Linda has also taken on the admin for the Young Carer Council. The Young Carer Council has now met and has come up with good ideas for the running of the scheme. We are now looking at a member of the Council to be co-opted onto the District Youth Council and also to be taking part in some of the participation events at Essex County Council. This term the children have taken part in the following sessions: Drug & Alcohol workshop run by the PCT, Mushroom Theatre, Megazone, Rayleigh Retreat, photographic workshop and Legacy XS. At half term over 20 young carers enjoyed a trip to Tropical Wings. The children continue to enjoy their free swimming passes courtesy of Virgin/Rochford District Council Over the May half term eight young carers took part in the WET n WILD week on Mersea and it certainly was wet and wild but they had a good time and at the end of August we have 2 families taking part in the Mersea Island Festival. We hope the weather is better for them.  8  Adult Carers ­ Summer 2008  We have now received funding to support adult carers across the Rochford District.

Through in-depth research and wide ranging consultations, Disability Essex has identified the urgent need for a £1.75 million eco-sustainable centre to meet the increasing demand for specialist disability services. Previous Disability Essex accommodation was dated, inaccessible and generated high running costs. From the new centre the charity can deliver more effective levels of service and work collaboratively with other organisations across the East of England. We have gained planning permission and negotiated the purchase of 0.9 acre of land adjacent to the Adult Community College in Rochford, near Southend. It is hoped that it will be in full operation early in 2009.  Project Costs  The target for our Capital Appeal is £1.75 million. £750,000 has already been raised due to the generosity of past benefactors. If you are interested in supporting us, there are naming opportunities and various other forms of recognition for each element of the building.

THE DEADLINE FOR THE AUTUMN EDITION IS FRIDAY 31ST OCTOBER 2008. COULD YOU SUPPORT SOMEONE LEARN TO LIVE AN ORDINARY AND INDEPENDENT LIFE?  The Essex Adult Placement Scheme provides long and short term family placements for adults with a learning disability.

We are looking for Adult Placement Carers from a wide variety of backgrounds, for example living with a partner, or alone, caring for children or having other family members living with them.

Reported offences fell by more than 15% in the year to 31st March 2008. Domestic burglaries fell by 18% and violent crime by 2%. Proactive policing has had a positive impact on anti-social behaviour (falling by 25%) and criminal damage (falling by 15%). Underpinning the year \'s achievements is the strong working relationships police have established with various partner agencies and the community through neighbourhood policing. This has gone from strength to strength with the appointment of additional neighbourhood specialist officers, which ensures that every part of the community has its own named police contact. The plans for the year ahead are to reduce crime by a further 5% with a focus on combating crimes such as burglary, violence and criminal damage. The police are also striving to better their understanding of the issues of concern to residents and improve communication and feedback to victims of crime. Numerous beat surgeries and public meetings are held across the Rochford District giving residents the opportunity to pop in and talk to their local officers. Details of these meetings, as well as more information about the Rochford neighbourhood policing teams can be found at: www.essex.police.uk/rochford.

During a heatwave, when temperatures remain consistently high, it can result in fatalities. Those especially at risk are older people, babies and young children, people with certain chronic conditions, people on certain medication, people with mobility problems, those with serious mental health problems and those who are physically active, like manual workers, sportsmen and women. To this end, the NHS have issued a booklet entitled  heatwave , which is a guide to looking after yourself. And others during hot weather. If you would like a copy of this booklet, please contact RRAVS.  MacMillan Welfare Benefits Advice  We are a community based service funded by Macmillan Cancer Support and hosted by SE Essex PCT, offering confidential specialist welfare benefits for adults and their families and carers who are affected by cancer. Advice is offered either of the phone or by appointment to see an adviser fact-to-face at one of eight advice surgeries spread out over South Essex, or in their own home. Clients can be referred by a health care professional or they can self refer by phoning the advice line 01268 448517. The service is available from 9.30 am - 4.00 pm Monday - Friday (excluding Bank Holidays).

As part of the Active Rochford 55+ initiative, there is currently funding available to Rochford District groups who would like to put on a taster session for their members. Sessions which have already run include table tennis at the Warehouse Centre and chair-based exercise classes for people with physical impairments. We are in the process of organising a tai-chi session for another member group. Activities do not necessarily need to be sports orientated, it is all about becoming more active and activities could be a ramble or dancing. Once the initial taster session has been carried out, the group can decide if they would like to continue the sessions. For further information, please contact The Sports Development Officer, Rochford District Council.  16    COMMUNITY NEWS  GENTLY DOES IT  Chair-based exercise suitable for group sessions in day centres. These classes are aimed at older people who are not currently very active, and are designed to help them increase mobility, strength and power. Many of the exercises can be done at home, but it is far more enjoyable to take part in a group activity, as the benefits are not only physical, but are also mood enhancing and help to promote a sense of well-being. The instructor is an RSA/YMCA Group Exercise Instructor and has been teaching since1990 and is also fully insured. If you would like a free 30 minute taster session.

The aim was to bring all the voluntary organisations within the Rochford District Council area together, with RRAVS acting as an umbrella organisation.    RRAVS NEWS  FAMILIES-IN-NEED 2007  Our appeal started in September, and as usual our initial support came from a few local business people, Edward Byford, Southend Airport and Bestax. We had a supply of food given to us from Harvest Festivals and were able to make a start on making up the bags of goodies for local needy families. We usually give a Christmas carrier bag containing about 7 items and also Somerfield vouchers for each family and Woolworth vouchers for each child aged 10 or over, with the younger children receiving toys. When the lists arrived from Social Services for the needy families on their books, they contained many families with 7,8 or 9 children, and so it was obvious that one bag would not be sufficient to make a difference. Then, halleluleih! The Rayleigh Round Table, who had made a collection of food at Sainsburys, delivered to my home a car load of food! In all there were about 1100 tins plus large tins of sweets, chocolates, biscuits, soft drinks and some toys. The wish expressed by the generous customers who gave so freely was that they wanted to help local families and older people. I prepared bags for 56 families, some of them received two or three bags, 5 homeless teenagers and 42 elderly people, the list is not yet complete. With the help of more cash donations, I purchased more food in order to make up generous bags. Our volunteers Janet and Ron attended a toy service and received a car load of lovely toys, which they delivered to me. These were collected by two delightful girls from the Social Services, to be delivered to the needy families along with the bags of food. The Scouts and several other groups also gave toys and we selected a large range of toys for the hospital, who make sure that children in hospital for Christmas receive gifts. This has been our busiest year to date, but it is very rewarding to hear how gratefully our parcels are received. The Chairman, Committee and all the volunteers wish to thank all the groups and individuals who supported our appeal. We wish them all a happy and healthy 2008. Pat Byford RRAVS VOLUNTEER P.S. RRAVS is extremely grateful for all the hard work of Pat Byford in ensuring the Families-in-Need Appeal is successful.    RRAVS NEWS  RRAVS CHRISTMAS CAROL SERVICE 9TH DECEMBER 2007  The annual Carol Service is the highlight of the year for the volunteers. It involves a lot of work and planning, but is an event greatly enjoyed by all. The service is traditional with nine Bible readings and Carols, and each year we try to get different readers. The service is primarily held for the local elderly and housebound, and this year around 70 people were transported to the Church, seven with their wheelchairs. Volunteers, Irene and Stan Reynell liaised with drivers of the Community Transport, Mayday Mobile vehicles and other volunteer drivers, including Jo, the new manager of the Volunteer Centre and John Byford who did trojan service. Ralph Phelps, our Treasurer, acted as escort. The Church began to fill up at about 2.15 with residents from the sheltered homes, and in all we had 171 in the congregation, plus all the volunteers. We were very pleased to welcome Councillor Keith Gibbs, Chairman of Rochford District Council, Councillor Patricia Weaver, Chairman of Rayleigh Town Council, Mr. Carl Watson, Chairman of Rayleigh Chamber of Trade with Mrs Watson and their family, and Mr Edward Byford, vice Chairman of Rayleigh Chamber of Trade with his daughter. Councillor Gibbs had kindly agreed to read a lesson, as did RRAVS volunteer Linda Lunt, as well as representatives from other organisations The Church looked really beautiful and we were privileged to have the bells ringing and the choir, in splendid voice, in attendance. Miss Iris Bradbeer, who recently married and is now Mrs Hosking, gave a wonderful rendition of  O Holy Night . The Rev. Mike Lodge took the service and introduced another vicar who gave the sermon. Tea was served in the Church Hall after the service, and we were very pleased to be helped by all the RRAVS new volunteers and Trustees. Friends from the Church also helped with erecting the tables and moving the chairs etc. The tables were made festive with cakes, sandwiches, sausage rolls and mince pies and decorated with fresh poinsettia and crackers. The very kind and capable ladies from WRVS ran the kitchen, and provided tea and hot mince pies etc. At 5.00 pm the drivers arrived to return people to their homes and the  work-force  from the Church came to clear the hall of tables and chairs etc. We were very grateful for their assitance. This annual event once again demonstrated the true spirit of community service, which exists in the voluntary sector. The RRAVS volunteers are privileged to be part of that and we are grateful for the support of many voluntary groups and organisations.

Quality is essentially about learning what you are doing well and doing it better. It also means finding out what you may need to change to make sure you meet the needs of your service users.  What is a quality assurance system?  When the term  \'quality assurance system \' is used, it means a formal management system you can use to strengthen your organisation. It is intended to raise standards of work and to make sure everything is done consistently. A quality assurance system sets out expectations that a quality organisation should meet.  But why does quality matter?  Voluntary and community organisations want to provide the best services possible for their service users. As voluntary organisations work more and more with both public and private sector organisations, the pressure has increased to show that they are providing a quality service and they are managing their organisation well.  PQASSO  Rayleigh, Rochford & District Association for Voluntary Service and their Volunteer Centre implements PQASSO (practical quality assurance system for small organisations). PQASSO was developed in 1997 by CES (Charities Evaluation Services), and is recommended by many large `umbrella \' organisations. If you would like to know more about PQASSO and how it can help your organisation please visit : www.ces-vol.org.uk (For organisations who do not have computer access you are welcome to view a demo cd rom of PQASSO at our Volunteer Centre ­ please call Jo Mcpherson VC Manager to organise)  Page 9  RR A V S NE W S    LAPTTOP NEWS  www.rravs.org.uk/lapttop  LAPTTOP continues to help people mostly over 60 living in the district with learning about computers. The following are available :   Lifelong Access to P Cs Through Training for Older People  10 week informal course Short 4 week taster courses at locations by arrangement Training for people in their homes Computer Club  Rochford Courses We continue to hold courses at Rochford Library. The January 2008 course has started and the next two courses are fully booked. New enquiries are now being booked on the September 2008 course. The increased interest in the course was generated by the advert in Rochford District Matters in the Summer 2007. The courses continue to be very popular with the learners. Rochford Library will be moving to new premises in September 2008 and Elaine Adams of Essex Libraries has asked for Lapttop to increase the number of courses from 3 to 6 per year. Extra funding is being sought for this increased activity. Outreach courses Taster Courses in Sheltered Accommodation continue to take place - subject to the availability of participants. If you know of a venue that would like a taster course please let them know about the project. Phone 01268 775255 for further information. Recycled Teenagers Courses Courses for Recycled Teenagers started in December 2007 with two new volunteers tutoring these courses. U3A Computer Group U3A (University of theThird Age) have asked Lapttop to help in setting up a computer group. They have 40 people interested in forming a computer group. Lapttop may be involved in running courses for beginners. Home visits We continued to carry out home visits during 2007, mainly for people who are not able to attend courses although some receive support visits at home after attending a course. Rochford Computer Club The club will move from its current venue at the MaryAnne Centre, St Lukes Centre, Dalys Road, Rochford to a new location in March 2008. It is hoped that this new location will be announced at the February 2008 meeting. Please phone RRAVS 01268 775255 for latest information. Anybody is welcome to come along. At club meetings the members are introduced to new uses of the computer by setting them a task. Typical subjects are OCR, Digital Picture Editing and Lottery Number Generation. Club sessions are well attended and the members get very absorbed in the above tasks.

With this growth there are additional pressures on the group, our biggest being the cost of transport and the provision  Project Leader Marion Horsley  Tel: 01268 775255  of activities.  At Christmas both groups enjoyed a trip to CJ \'s Bowling for tea and bowling, and Essex County Council provided every Young Carer with vouchers for the Odeon Cinema in Southend and I know a number of the children have already enjoyed watching a variety of films. Last term the children enjoyed a talk from Royston Dean on Astronomy; Art with Dawn from Making Marks and the girls especially enjoyed a pamper evening on skin care and make up at the Rayleigh Retreat. They will be returning this term to provide an evening on hands and nails. We are hoping to find funding to purchase a jacket potato oven for the group. This would enable us to provide a hot, filling and healthy snack for the children when they attend the group sessions, especially as we meet over teatime. This would also be available to any other youth group attending the Youth Centre. The staff continue to attend training, and Ann successfully gained her VRQ Level 2. This was a pilot scheme run by Essex County Council Youth Service and Ann worked very hard putting in a lot of additional hours of her own time. Congratulations to Ann! Other training has included First Aid, Drug and Alcohol ­ Higher Level and the staff are due to attend Child Protection and Domestic Abuse. We continue a close working relationship with the local children \'s teams and I would like to thank Sara Hemmings and Tricia Cowdrey and their staff, TASCC Teams for Rayleigh and Rochford and Mike Chapman and his staff from Child Protection and Assessment for their help and support.

The South East Essex Primary Care Trust (PCT) website launches at midday today (7 January). It also provides information to help residents get involved in decisions over how the PCT \'s money is spent and services are delivered. Andrew Pike, the PCT \'s Chief Executive, said:  We employ more than 800 staff and provide a wide range of health services for a third of a million people across Castle Point, Rochford and Southend-on-Sea. The new site is designed to give easy access to information about health and fitness, our services and also about how we spend our budget.  It is vital people in south east Essex are involved in our decision making processes on how money is spent and our services are organised. The new website gives details about how patients and the public can be involved.  The new website - www.see-pct.nhs.uk - was designed and written using feedback from patients and members of the public. It also has links to websites for other health organisations, including Southend Hospital, GPs and local health services.  Not in My Neighbourhood Week  During the week 15th to 21st October, a series of events were held across the District to promote Public awareness of what is being done by local agencies to prevent and reduce crime. The events promoted by the Home Office, included representatives from the Local Neighbourhood Policing Teams, The Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnership and Neighbourhood Watch. This week also marked the 25 year anniversary of Neighbourhood Watch. Stands were set up in our local high streets on different days of the week where passers by had the opportunity to discuss local problems and concerns and to pick up leaflets and other free items. We also encouraged interest in joining or starting a Neighbourhood Watch Group where people did not already belong to one. We had a particularly good response from the Rochford and Hockley events, where some 25 people have asked to become members of a local NHW scheme, some of those have offered to act as Street Co-ordinators and others, who did not want to commit to this level of involvement, have however offered to distribute the NHW Newsletters. In a number of cases, new residents have been put in touch with an existing nearby Co-ordinator. If any of your local friends or relatives would like to join or start a new NHW scheme please ask them to get in touch.
