LAST Thursday night a fantastic group of social entrepreneurs gathered at South Essex Colleges Waves restaurant to celebrate a year of studying with the Thurrock School of Social Entrepreneurs – from learning to pitch, to writing a business plan to understanding the market – all the students said they had gained a lot from the course.
THE Beach of Dreams event at Grays beach riverside park on Saturday 31st July (run alongside a leg of Kinetika's massive 500 mile walk) was a mixture of sun, fun and exhibition. Imagine the scene; an array of stalls showcasing many of the good works being undertaken in Thurrock, a gentle breeze carrying the superb music of Grays Town Band, people milling around and a whale.
AS a part of the T100 Dreaming event, Thurrock Lifestyle Solutions (TLS) have teamed up with wearecreativesthurrock.uk to erect a sculpture of a whale that has been devastated by plastic pollution.
ALL people on the learning disability register should now be prioritised for a Covid vaccine, the joint committee on vaccination has advised the government reports the BBC.
A PETITION is taking off to prioritise people with learning disabilities in the vaccine roll-out, as the UK has become the first country in the world to approve the Pfizer/BioNTech coronavirus vaccine and the focus shifts onto the logistics of the roll-out.
ONE of the highlights of our year is the Thurrock Lifestyle Solutions (TLS) annual general meeting. Over the years, they have held then indoors (Corringham Village Hall) and outside (Hardie Park).
LAST week, retired police dog Baloo, who has recently been given the role of Essex Police therapy dog, continued her work helping others by spending time with members of the community who, like her, are disabled.
