Even if you don’t know the name Ben Scott then you’d probably recognise his face. Our local PCSO has been racking up the column inches ever since he was given the nod to officially tweet from Greater Manchester Police’s Didsbury twitter account @GMPDidsbury
The account that Ben manages shares news, appeals, trivia and relevant information about local and Manchester police matters in a way that hasn’t been seen until recently.
Although not a means for reporting crimes (we clarify how to do that below), people can send Ben information about potential problems and ask him question about local policing issues.
We managed to corner Ben recently for long enough to ask him a few questions. Hopefully you’ll be hearing much more from him and some of the other 17 local PCSOs very soon.
Fetch: In a nutshell, what is a PCSO?
Contact the Elderly is a national charity which runs monthly tea parties for isolated older people over the age of 75 and volunteers. These older people have few or no visitors and are unable to get out by themselves, so these Contact the Elderly groups really do provide a lifeline of friendship to the people they help as well as a lot of fun.
Thanks to the kindness of residents of South Manchester we currently have one Contact the Elderly group running and making a difference to lonely older people in the area. The charity are now launching a second group but are urgently in need of more volunteer hosts. Hosts volunteer for a few hours just once or twice a year, welcome the elderly people in to their home and all that is needed is a downstairs toilet and a big teapot!
The writing collective behind the popular Chorlton Arts Festival 2011 Flash Mob writing competition and literary salon are currently inviting submissions of short stories for their latest project, running in conjunction with Didsbury Arts Festival.
