LAURA RAN TO BEAT!

By

























This weekend, Laura completed the Nike Run to the Beat half-marathon. She ran the entire 13.1 miles in 2hours and 9mins (- she wasn't quite this excited the whole way round!)

She is raising money for the Hogar de Ninas Madre Albertina (Mother Albertina home for girls). The home in Granada, Nicaragua, is the home to 18 girls who have entered either as a result of being abused by their families or carers, sent to work on the streets, or because their carers could not afford to support them. They are brought to the home by the social services, and nuns from the order Madre Albertina ensure that the girls can grow up in a safe and nurturing environment. Rachel, the director at Nice Images, is the main UK fundraiser for the charity and 100% of any money donated will go directly towards this wonderful cause. 
Laura is still collecting donations at www.justgiving.com/laura-bungey

Bottlenose dolphins windfarm threat.

By
Drew Sutton , Nice Director, has been back out on the Scottish waters with  Philip Hoare  as they addressed the issue of the newly approved windfarm plans in the Moray Firth. Photo by Drew Sutton These waters are home to an array of wildlife, including the "UK's only resident population of bottlenose dolphins" and these 227 proposed turbines will disrupt their way of life since they depend on sonar. Have a read of Philip's article and if you can, pop along to Aquatopia: The imaginary of the ocean deep which opened this weekend at the Nottingham Contemporary and will continue at Tate St Ives in October.   http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2013/jul/17/sea-invisible-trash-heap-aquatopia Let us know what you think or even better, get involved with the WDC and exhibitions such as Aquatopia! http://www.nottinghamcontemporary.org/art/aquatopia

Nana’s Manners, Confident Kids- Kickstart starts 21st June

By
Nana’s Manners believe in giving children the tools they need to learn to do the basics well. We want to empower kids to become confident and independent in the world around them. Nana’s Manners is the inspiration of Kathryn, a mum of two who taught in Primary Schools for ten years. It was whilst teaching in a Reception class that she realised the widespread difficultly 4-5 year olds had in using a knife and fork effectively and independently. As the cutlery kids need to help them learn this life skill didn’t exist, Kathryn decided she was going to design it herself. Nana’s Manners is launching their patented, ergonomically designed cutlery on Kickstarter on the 21st June.  They need to reach their target amount in pledges in 30 days to fund their first production run and bring Nana’s Manners to life. Please visit their website to find out more and support them in getting their cutlery out and into little hands. http://www.nanasmanners.com
