NewsVenues sought for unique art exhibitionA second exhibition featuring work by artists with autism at Dimbola Museum and Galleries proved such a hit, it’s hoped new venues can be found to display the very special artwork.All of the artists are supported by the Way Forward Programme, an Island charity which works with those with physical and learning disabilities.

“Once again we had a fantastic response to our ‘Through Autistic Eyes’ exhibition selling 9 original pieces and 5 prints” says Lee White, Programme Lead for Way Forward. “We now hope other venues will be interested in displaying some of the work. Last year we sold 27 pieces in all, which we couldn’t have done without the support of places such as Dimbola and several of the local libraries. It’s giving our artists a wonderful opportunity to showcase their work to a wider audience and help them make a living from their art.”

If you are interested in exhibiting some of the art work, contact the project co-ordinator Mary Bowdery at [email protected]. More information on other activities provided through the Way Forward programme can be found on their website www.wayforwardprogramme.co.uk.

Foundation Trust MembershipKeeping our NHS local and how you can make a difference.Isle of Wight NHS Trust is the only fully integrated provider of NHS hospital, community, mental health and ambulance services in England and is applying to become a NHS Foundation Trust. Foundation Trusts have been created to devolve decision-making from central Government control to local organisations and communities.

We believe that this will bring important benefits to the island and the patients we serve allowing us to be more innovative, efficient, improve quality and not least of all ensure that as many of our services as possible remain local rather than be broken up and managed by mainland organisations.

Please can you help us reach our target of 6000 public members? Membership is free of charge and quick and easy to join by anybody aged 11 and over and it is important that we are representative of our whole community.

In return you will receive current news about the Island’s health services including the members’ newsletter, a discount from many retailers and be eligible to stand for or elect governors! Essentially it is for you to decide how much or little you wish to be involved.

Please join today to have your say and also encourage family and friends to do the same by completing our on-line registration form at www.iow.nhs.uk/ft or contact us for further details at [email protected] or 01983 822099 ext. 5703. Thank you, your support is greatly valued!

Voluntary Co-ordinator Needed in

WEST WIGHT Optio is the Voluntary Community Car service for the Isle of Wight. It has a network of volunteer drivers, who give their time freely, using their own cars to provide a door to door service for elderly and frail residents who are unable to access transport to get to appointments, services and the support they need. Members pay a small annual fee for the service which is run by Community Action Isle of Wight.

We urgently need a non-driving volunteer co-ordinator from the West Wight area, to take bookings and organise member’s trips from their own home. Full training and support will be given and all out-of pocket expenses will be reimbursed.

If you would like to find out more, please contact Julie, for an informal chat on 522226

This year the Medina Valley Centre’s will be offering free rides on the Medina as part of the RYA (Royal Yachting Association) “Push the Boat Out”; a national weekend of sailing and windsurfing. People are invited to come along and ‘have a go’ at sailing with an experienced sailor. Whether you are a regular sailor, new to the sport or simply want a day out with the family, Push the Boat Out provides the perfect opportunity for everyone to get out on the water and celebrate a national weekend of sailing. Also look out for Cowes Sailability Club and their interesting craft.

On landYou will be able to see craft from the Classic Boat Museum, the Maritime Volunteer Service and a rescue boat from Ryde Inshore Lifeboat.

Coming on board this year is Vectis Sunrise Rotary Club, who will be proudly representing the Island’s Rotary clubs. Local coppice craftsman Frank Heap will be demonstrating an ancient polelathe, which were a popular site in Island woodlands until the 1930s.
