When summer comes a’ swaggering by, you may as well ride the sunbeams.
Two Spot Gobbi, with their Devon front man James Robinson, are celebrating the rise in temperature with their even higher entry in the indy charts (that’s a number four placing with the www.play.com chart and a scorching number two in the download chart) with their debut single Sunshine Lady.
Have a listen and a gander and know that you can go and see them at Ride Cafe, Plymouth on June 12.
We have received news that: ‘Carers of adults with learning disabilities from Teignbridge, the South Hams and West Devon have been awarded a £14,000 grant to spend on short-term respite.
“Carers are often under great pressure and this grant will allow carers time off to look after their own needs,” said Jackie Milan, learning disabilities carers’ worker for Teignbridge, the South Hams and Devon.
“We did consider organising specific activities though, due to carers commitments, we decided it was easier for carers to take advantage of the many tourist attractions and arts events that are going on all the time across the county. This grant will for the first time allow many carers to visit and support community facilities in their local area. At our regular meetings across South Devon, we have so far identified a wide range of arts events, days out, tours, theatre and cinema visits - though we are still looking for ideas.”
“However, we do know that many carers are not aware of the support and opportunities available. Therefore, if you look after an adult with learning disabilities, or know of someone who would like to take some time out from their very pressured lives, don’t hesitate to get in touch.”
Meetings for Carers with Learning Disabilities are regularly held in: Ashburton; Tavistock; Ivybridge; Dawlish; Kingsbridge; Newton Abbot; and Kingsteignton.
