RoSA is a registered charity that supports victims of sexual violence, and their families, in Rugby and surrounding districts.  The Craft.com project would encourage people of any age or ability who support this type of work to explore and develop their creative skills, using a range of art and craft materials.

As the recession starts to bite many people, particuarly the elderly, will become increasingly isolated. Many will be unable to get out and about and certainly won't be taking holidays. Why not have a Holdiay at Home scheme whereby a series of events and outings are organised over a week-long period. People could be collected from their own homes (the community bus could be used for this) and taken to places of interest, or even to the local hall for tea and entertainment.

Marton has started a pig club whereby members will share the costs and maintenance of rearing 10 rare Berkshire piglets. The group will start building the pens this weekend and are hoping to eat their first pork in the spring. The organiser didn't have the time or the land to raise his own pigs but wrote to 200 residents and has 20 members of the club so far. He says that his children are very interested and have already started asking questions about life and death!
