SAE Liverpool to host Northern Power Women

SAE Liverpool is thrilled to be hosting Northern Power Women (NPW) on 24 January 2018, who will be discussing important issues around gender equality, namely in the creative industries, in a live recording of their podcast.

Starting at 1pm and running until 3:30pm, SAE Liverpool has the pleasure of welcoming NPW to the campus for an engaging afternoon discussing current debates, in particular those concerning women in technology and media industries.

NPW is a campaign to accelerate gender equality from the North. Their range of events and awards bring together both women and men to become 'agents of change', collectively helping organisations learn, engage and promote their aim of increasing opportunities for women.

Radio 5 Live's Sam Walker will be chairing the event and leading the questions for the 3 panellists, who each represent different aspects of the creative industries. The session will be an eye opening discussion of all of their personal career experiences, vitally increasing awareness of the issues that still exist today.

Sam Walkers tells us:- "We're really excited to be bringing the NPW podcast to SAE Institute for a live recording. Each month the podcast is a place where women and men at all stages of their career can have frank and engaging discussions about some of the biggest challenges that they're facing today, both in and out of work. It's a platform where people can share hopes, concerns and of course, brilliant advice based on their own experiences."

SAE students as well as the general public, both men and women, are invited to take part in the insightful discussions, where they are free to ask questions beforehand through NPW's 'Ask the Hive' set up. With the event concluding with a networking session, students will also get an opportunity to speak to key people in the industry and learn even more about this all important topic. Tickets to attended can be obtained online

Kate Corbin, Academic Coordinator SAE Liverpool comments:- "This podcast and panel event is a great opportunity for students, staff and external participants to engage in discussion around women's current and future roles in the creative industry. The idea for the event originated from students at the Liverpool campus and we hope it is the first of many similar events running at SAE Liverpool."

Older People Living Alone In Southport Urged To Take Care In The Cold Weather

A manager from a care home in Southport is urging older people living alone in the community to take extra care in the cold weather. With temperatures dropping across the country, Christine Hunt, from Anchor's Thomas Henshaw Court has offered advice to older people living by themselves. She said older people are especially susceptible to the cold but there are steps neighbours and relatives can take to protect them. Christine, whose care home is rated Good by regulator the Care Quality Commission, added:- "Anchor is urging the wider community to keep a close eye on elderly neighbours and their older relatives who may live alone and are more vulnerable in the cold weather. Older people should check room temperatures regularly. Day time room temperatures should be set to a minimum of 21 degrees and 18 degrees at night. We recommend older people have regular hot drinks and eat at least one hot meal a day if possible. Eating regularly helps to keep up energy levels up during winter. And a well nourished body is going to be stronger and therefore more resilient against the cold. Wrap up warm and wear several light layers of warm clothes. Wear footwear with a good grip if you need to go outside on cold days. Take extra care if you go out." For more information on Thomas Henshaw Court, contact:- 0800 731 2020.

Military host business lunch at secret Liverpool bunker

ON Wednesday, 24 January 2018, the North West Reserve Forces' and Cadets' Association, the organisation which supports and promotes the Reserves and the Cadet organisations in the region, is hosting a Liverpool Chamber of Commerce business lunch at Liverpool War Museum.

The museum is based in the historic City Centre bunker which housed the headquarters to the:- "Western Approaches" during the 2nd World War, coordinating the Battle of the Atlantic which proved vital to the allied victory.

Guests at the lunch will be hosted by representatives of the Royal Navy, Army and Royal Air Force; the 1st time since 1945 that all 3 Services have been present within the building.

In the summer of 2017 the selection of Liverpool as the nation's host for Armed Forces Day celebrated the City's proud history of support to the Armed Forces.

This support comprises not only the stalwart role that the City played during the 2nd World War and the Battle of the Atlantic, but also the support local businesses give to serving men and women, the Cadet organisations and veterans.

During the lunch representatives of local businesses will hear talks from the museum and from Liverpool City Council, who were recently presented a:- Gold Defence Employer Recognition Scheme Award for their support to the Armed Forces Community in Liverpool.

The Defence Employer Recognition Scheme was launched to recognise those employers who support Defence objectives and encourage others to do the same. The support of local businesses is vital to Defence objectives, while Defence can provide businesses with access to the skills, training, experience and ethos serving and former service men and women bring to the civilian workplace.

Commodore Phil Waterhouse, Commander Naval Regional Headquarters Northern England, said:- "We are greatly looking forward to welcoming the Liverpool business community to such an historic and significant venue. Liverpool has such close bonds, both past and present, with the Armed Forces, and the City continues to provide great support to our wider community of serving men and women, veterans and the Cadet organisations. This lunch gives us an opportunity to explain to local organisations the value of the relationship between the Services and the business community."

Paul Cherpeau, Chief Executive Liverpool Chamber of Commerce, said:- "It is a great privilege to welcome our business guests to the Liverpool War Museum, a mere stone's throw away from the Chamber itself, to hear from representatives of the Royal Navy, Army and Royal Air Force. The Chamber in Liverpool played a key role during both World Wars for the recruitment of volunteers to the war effort and the provision of business intelligence and information to ensure the wheels of commerce continued to turn. This event provides a great opportunity to promote the work of the Reserves Forces and Cadets Association and in particular the Defence Employer Recognition Scheme. A century on from the end of the 1st World War and the Chamber's subsequent campaigns to encourage the re-employment of returning soldiers from the battlefield; it is fitting that we once again advocate the support of business to our defence services."
