To celebrate the 25th anniversary of Volunteers Week, Derby CVS
hosted a Night of Stars celebration at the Assembly Rooms in Derby. The event was held to say a big thank you to all volunteers and award individuals for their long service to the voluntary sector. The Night of Stars celebrated 15 organisations and 21 nominees, who together have clocked up 445 years of volunteering support, which is outstanding. A big thank you to everyone involved, including Royal Crown Derby who very kindly donated a beautiful piece of china. Keith Cokayne (pictured above with the Mayor, Councillor Sean

Time to Get Equal
Week - 8 to 14 June 2009
During Time to Get Equal Week Scope are asking people to do something, no matter how small, to support disabled people's equality.
 In a poll on the Time to Get Equal website, over 70% of voters said they have witnessed disablism (discrimination against disabled people). You can help; for example, if you hear someone in a shop or restaurant talking to a disabled person in a patronising or unpleasant way, fill in a comment card to let them know what you think of their service; the next time you come across a website that doesn't have accessibility options, why not send an email to the company and ask why access is not important to them?
To pledge to do something, however small, simply fill out the short form on-line and join in the campaign.
Please make your pledge now by clicking here
