Eastleigh Healthy Living Network

www.rubothered.org is a website  for people aged 13–19 is linked to other reputable sites and offers help and advice on various issues chosen by young people themselves.

Some of the topics featured are drugs and alcohol, family, sex, smoking, relationships, education and careers as well as generally staying healthy.

 “Teenagers and young adults can discover what local events and activities that they can get involved in as well as finding out what help and support is available to them.  Visitors to the site can also get answers confidentially to any questions or concerns that they may have.”

 

Sea City Southampton

Events are ideal for all members of the family and cross a broad range of interests from those who prefer to view art to the more active who wish to be involved with a guided maritime-themed walk around the Old Cemetery of Southampton. New events will include a Sea Film Festival in July at the Harbour Lights Picturehouse (exact dates are being finalised and will be added to the website later), a Sea Food Festival for the 5th – 12th August, an Open Day on the Tall Ship Tenacious which will give the public a rare opportunity to view this special ship whilst she is in port and an Ocean and Earth Day at the Oceanographic Centre. 

 

www.seacity.co.uk is where the interactive calendar is found which will enable families to plan ahead or just find something to do at the last minute.  Those who feel more inspired can add ideas for future events, a feature of the website that the Sea City Southampton organisers are hoping will produce some exciting new ideas from the community.

Note: Further interviews are available about Sea City Southampton generally and about specific events that have been included on the calendar.  To arrange these please contact Nicky Hirst, Public Affairs Officer, Southampton and Fareham Chamber of Commerce on 023 8022 3541.
