The document discusses a social care charity's plans to start a catering company called Scotch Bonnet Catering. The goals are to provide training and employment opportunities for service users, in line with the charity's strategic plan. There is demand for Caribbean food in the local area of Brixton. An initial feasibility study found the social enterprise could be profitable within two years with annual turnover reaching £400,000 after three years, while employing and training several people. So far the charity has received funding, tested interest through taster sessions, employed service users at events, and is working towards its first large contract supplying meals to a local health trust.

NHS Sustainability Day Liverpool CCG Road Show4 All of Us
Sustainability was on the menu once again as the Road show cycled it’s way to the North-West and arrived in Liverpool to a warm welcome. Delegates from across the city and throughout the North-West were on hand to participate in an inspiring day of presentations, knowledge sharing and motivation.
Sarah Dewar and Professor Maureen Williams, Deputy Chair NHS Liverpool CCG were on hand to deliver inspirational sessions focusing on debate, action and good practice. Delegates entering the event were asked to jot down what they wanted to take away from the day via post it notes which were then displayed on the entrance to the venue. Postcards were also handed out with delegates tasked with writing down what they will do on NHS Sustainability Day.
The morning session kick-started with Fiona Daly, Environmental Manager at Barts Health, discussing Sustainability Day on March 27th 2014. Fiona was followed by Professor Sir Ian Gilmore, University of Liverpool who spoke passionately on the city and the important role sustainability can play in improving healthcare and supporting the people of Liverpool. The morning session also saw presentations from Dr Tim Ballard, Vice-Chair of the RCGP who was on hand to address the role sustainability can play in general practice and supporting commissioning of health services.
The mid-morning session saw best-practice examples on a wide range of areas including waste and water. Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen University Hospitals Trust were on hand to discuss their work with Carillion around the new development in the city.
The afternoon discussions saw delegates interacting with each other to identify solutions to the challenges they face around sustainable development. The day concluded with delegates outlining their promises via the postcards distributed earlier in the day.
It is these promises which will ensure NHS Sustainability Day 2014 is a success and the weight of expectation amongst the Liverpool delegates was high. Many of them leaving the venue inspired, motivated and enthused. It is through this motivation that the NHS has a chance to deliver huge change in the next few years via sustainable practice and with inspiration such as that seen in Liverpool we think the future is looking bright!

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!
