Each year on 27th March, whisky lovers around the world come together to celebrate International Whisky Day—a global tribute to the craftsmanship, heritage, and sheer enjoyment of one of the world’s most cherished spirits. First established in 2009, this annual event honours whisky in all its forms, from the smoky depths of a well-aged Islay single malt to the smooth, honeyed notes of an Irish blend. A Toast to Tradition Whisky has a history stretching back centuries, with roots deeply embedded in Scotland, Ireland, Canada, Japan, and the United States. While each region has developed its own distinctive style, the core elements remain the same: grain, water, yeast, and time. Whether distilled in the windswept Scottish Highlands or the lush valleys of Kentucky, whisky-making is an art that blends science, patience, and a touch of alchemy. The date of 27th March was chosen in honour of the legendary whisky writer Michael Jackson, whose passion for the drink and dedication to chronicling its complexities helped shape the way the world appreciates whisky today. His books and reviews continue to be a touchstone for enthusiasts and connoisseurs alike. Whisky Around the World Though Scotch whisky is perhaps the most famous, with its single malts and rich blends, whisky culture is truly global. Irish whiskey (spelt with an “e”) is known for its smooth, triple-distilled character, while American bourbon and ryeoffer sweeter, spicier profiles. In recent decades, Japanese whisky has earned international acclaim for its precision and elegance, and Indian whisky has gained recognition for its unique take on the craft. How to Celebrate International Whisky Day is not just about drinking whisky—it’s about appreciating its history, craftsmanship, and the joy of sharing it with others. Here are a few ways to mark the occasion: Raise a dram – Whether you prefer it neat, on the rocks, or in a classic cocktail like an Old Fashioned or Whisky Sour, take the time to savour the complexities of a good whisky. Explore something new – Venture beyond your usual go-to dram and try a whisky from a different country or region. A peaty Islay malt, a floral Japanese whisky, or a spicy Tennessee rye might surprise you. Visit a distillery – If you’re lucky enough to be near a whisky-producing region, take a tour and see the process up close. Many distilleries offer tastings and insights into the art of whisky-making. Pair whisky with food – Whisky pairs beautifully with a range of foods, from dark chocolate and blue cheese to grilled meats and smoked salmon. Experiment with different combinations to enhance both the drink and the dish. Raise awareness for charity – True to Michael Jackson’s legacy, International Whisky Day also encourages donations to Parkinson’s disease research, a cause close to his heart. A Drink Worth Celebrating Whether you’re a seasoned aficionado or just starting to explore the world of whisky, International Whisky Day is the perfect opportunity to appreciate the craft and tradition behind every bottle. So, pour yourself a dram, raise your glass, and toast to the spirit that has brought people together for generations. Slàinte!

Every year on 27th March, theatre lovers across the globe come together to celebrate World Theatre Day—a day dedicated to honouring the power of performance and the art of storytelling on stage. Established in 1961 by the International Theatre Institute (ITI), this annual event serves as a reminder of theatre’s enduring role in shaping cultures, sparking conversations, and bringing communities together. A Global Stage From the grand playhouses of London’s West End to intimate black-box theatres in remote corners of the world, theatre remains a universal language. Whether it’s the timeless tragedies of Shakespeare, the absurdist humour of Samuel Beckett, or the dazzling spectacle of contemporary musicals, the stage has long been a mirror reflecting the joys, struggles, and complexities of human existence. Each year, a renowned figure from the theatre world delivers the World Theatre Day Message, an inspiring speech that resonates with artists and audiences alike. Past speakers have included icons like Peter Brook, Judi Dench, and John Malkovich, all of whom have shared their thoughts on the significance of theatre in an ever-changing world. Theatre as a Force for Change Beyond entertainment, theatre has the power to challenge societal norms, amplify marginalised voices, and inspire action. From the revolutionary plays of Bertolt Brecht to the immersive experiences of modern interactive theatre, performances often serve as a catalyst for political and social change. In times of crisis, theatre has provided solace, resistance, and hope—whether through underground performances in war-torn regions or digital productions during the COVID-19 pandemic. Celebrating Theatre Today This World Theatre Day, celebrations will take place in theatres, schools, and cultural institutions worldwide. Workshops, performances, panel discussions, and readings will highlight the vibrancy of the art form. In the UK, major venues like the National Theatre, Royal Shakespeare Company, and Globe Theatre will mark the occasion, while independent theatres and grassroots companies will use the day to champion new and emerging voices. For theatre lovers, today is a chance to support local productions, revisit classic plays, or simply reflect on the magic of live performance. Whether you’re an actor, playwright, technician, or audience member, World Theatre Day is a celebration of the shared experience that makes theatre truly special. As the curtain rises on another year of storytelling, let’s remember why theatre continues to captivate, challenge, and connect us all.

Children at Ferndown Middle School who make a difference will receive gift vouchers thanks to a local business. AE Jolliffe & Son funeral directors provided five Amazon credits, which the school will hand out at the end of the term. The school is part of the Castleman Academy Trust and has a number of values that it has embedded in its ethos. Children who demonstrate those values or make other achievements will be chosen by a committee of teachers. Debbie Brown who manages Jolliffe’s said: “As a business we are always trying to find ways to help our community and this scheme is a great example. The school asked if we could provide some Amazon vouchers with which they can reward children who have made a difference through work, behaviour or in demonstrating school values." “We gave them five vouchers which they will hand out at the end of the term." “It was also a good relationship to develop for future projects such as the children from the school joining us to sing in our multi-purpose community ceremony room when we hold an afternoon tea for local care home residents. “We also have a good relationship with the upper school and attend their careers fair each year.” AE Jolliffe & Son is part of Douch Family Funeral Directors which has seven branches in Dorset, each with its own traditional name. Rich Bebbington from the school said: “We are so happy to be building relationships with our local community and working with local businesses to support each other." “We have been delighted by the kindness and support shown to our school which have included donations of tickets from Jay Miller’s Circus and the free use of a coach from Laguna Travel to transport our pupils there and back.” Alysia Dolan, acting headteacher said: “We are very fortunate to have such a dedicated teaching team who are going above and beyond to rally support from the local community." “These links will have a positive impact on our pupils and we look forward to future work with members of the community.” Above Photo:  Rich Bebbington from Ferndown Middle School with Debbie Brown and Helen Dean from AE Jolliffe & Son

Poignant possessions of refugees who fled the Russian invasion will form part of a new exhibition covering the war in Ukraine at The Tank Museum. The largest exhibition in the UK focusing on the conflict, ‘Ukraine: Armoured Warfare in the Modern World’ will open at the award-winning Dorset attraction next week. Charting the Russian invasion of Ukraine, visitors will be able to see examples of the fighting vehicles used by both sides up-close and hear the very personal stories from refugees who have settled in Dorset. Exhibitions Manager Luke Clark said: “As a museum, our purpose is to tell the story of tanks and the crews who serve in them, so it was logical to develop an informative exhibition about the ongoing war in Ukraine through our collections." “The vehicles on display include a Russian T-72 daubed with a ‘Z’ and an example of the British Challenger 2 tank, of which 14 were donated to the Ukrainian Army by the UK Government. Whilst the tanks and the hardware are impressive and interesting it’s the personal stories which are the most moving. Through local charity Ukraine Relief, we got in touch with refugees now living in Dorset." “Interviewing these families about their experiences is when the situation really hits home.” Amongst the poignant personal items on display are a set of house keys belonging to the Boiko family. They spent the first two weeks of the invasion sheltering in the basement of their apartment building in Kyiv. By the time they decided to leave the country, they no longer needed them - there was no apartment left. Visitors to the exhibition will also see the drawings created by 11-year-old Anastasiia Boiko while sheltering from the Russian bombardment. It was Anastasiia who convinced her family that their best chance of survival was to flee. “The interviews and personal items kindly shared with us by local refugee families are the heart of this exhibition,” added Luke. They want to tell their story, and we feel very proud they have entrusted us to do so.” The exhibition opens on 4 April 2025.

Responding to the Spring Statement on 26 March 2025, Ross McNally, Chief Executive and Executive Chairman of Hampshire Chamber of Commerce, said: “The Chancellor’s announcement of a £2.2 billion boost to defence spending plays directly into Hampshire’s strengths in advanced manufacturing, technology and engineering." “We are central to the UK’s defence sector and so it was great to hear Rachel Reeves’ specific commitment to regenerate and secure the future of Portsmouth Naval Base. Similarly, we welcome her announcement of more investment in export finance to enable our defence contractors to do more in global markets." “Hampshire’s role as an engine of growth will also be helped by the moves she announced to make it easier for our smaller firms to land defence contracts through easier procurement. We in the business community in Hampshire stand ready to work with the government to ensure our manufacturing, defence and engineering sectors are at the very heart of modern industrial strategy." “There is a dire need for the government to accelerate and clarify how capital investment and industrial strategy will combine to unlock growth. Many businesses had their confidence knocked badly by the autumn 2024 Budget and the imminent cost pressures that will flow from that as early as April. We anticipate a difficult next year to 18 months, not helped by global turbulence and other risk factors, and so government must work with us". “That includes support for our two Local Skills Improvement Plans (LSIPs) for Hampshire. These are designed to ensure workplaces can find and retain the talent they need and young people can progress their career development. To strengthen this activity, we call on ministers to champion employer-led engagement, extend investment in LSIPs and bridge the gap between education and work." “Businesses are innovative and will always seek markets where they can sell their advantage, quality of service and added value, but we need the government to truly deliver on its strategy for growth so we can restore the confidence to invest in the skills of our people, explore and exploit market opportunities and achieve prosperity.”

A group of retired men in one of Glasgow's longest-running hobby clubs are keeping their passion for model railways alive despite rising costs, and ensuring their inclusive community club continues to welcome members with varying abilities. Clyde Side Model Railway Club was established in 1958 and meets in the CIRCLE building in Easterhouse. It brings together around 16 retirees who build and display detailed railway layouts at various shows throughout the year. The club has become a social hub for the group, helping to combat isolation and providing a supportive, inclusive platform where creativity is shared and friendships formed. In addition to the layouts built for shows, the club creates a special Christmas track each year which is displayed for local nursery children, bringing seasonal joy to the youngest members of the community. However, like many small community groups, the club has struggled with increasing operational costs, with members paying for rent of the club room, utility bills, and materials from their own pockets, leading some to reluctantly leave when they can no longer afford the expense. The financial pressure on club members has been eased thanks to a £500 donation from the Allied Vehicles Charitable Trust. "Groups like this are the backbone of our neighbourhoods," said Gerry Facenna, founder and owner of Allied Vehicles Group.  "Clyde Side Model Railway Club has created a welcoming space in the heart of their community, for everyone, regardless of ability. We're delighted to help keep the trains running for the club members who bring so much joy to not only themselves, but so many others through their hobby.” Douglas Marshall Boyle, a club member for over 50 years, said: “Like every organisation we have expenditure that keeps rising, and our members pay for everything out of our own pockets. Every year we have a rent and electricity rise and we lose a member or two who tell us they just can’t afford it anymore. “We have several shows coming up this year and with this donation from Allied Vehicles, our members can go full steam ahead creating the layouts without worrying about financial constraints.”

The Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) and the Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust are set to open a new garden at St James’s University Hospital in Leeds this September for patient recovery and staff wellbeing that will demonstrate the power of nature in healthcare. The garden – which has been designed by renowned landscape designer and RHS Ambassador Adam Frost - will provide a space to relax and reflect for those working in or visiting the hospital. Gardens are known to play a vital role in health promotion and overall wellbeing, with studies showing that simply looking at greenery can speed up recovery time. NHS staff were involved with the design of this garden through a consultation process, to ensure that it addresses the needs of both staff and patients. The plans include a range of new seating areas, an all-weather shelter complete with green roof and plenty of pollinator-friendly planting. Honouring the vital role that gardens and cultivated plants play in supporting biodiversity, the new plans will see the existing mown lawn transformed into a complex garden habitat with over 200 square metres of mixed beds. In addition, new trees and specimen shrubs will be planted, comprising a mix of native and non-native species selected for maximum benefit to wildlife. Woody species to be planted include native hawthorn, hazel, spindle and field maple as well as some non-natives, like Ginkgo biloba and flowering dogwood, to increase plant variety and provide year-round structure and interest. The planting palette for the mixed beds will include structural fruiting blackcurrant and gooseberry hedges, small ornamental shrubs, mixed herbaceous perennials and drifts of bulbs. Across the garden all the new plants are suitable for the site’s south east facing position and resilient to the pressures of the extreme weather events caused by the changing climate, with species including acanthus, alchemilla, hellebores and salvias. In homage to the adjacent Thackray Museum of Medicine – the UK’s largest independent medical museum - medicinal plants such as valerian, evening primrose, lemon verbena and hyssop will be incorporated into the garden. The medicinal benefits of many plants were well known to ancient Greek, Roman and Arab physicians, with some of the earliest forms of managed gardens created specifically for healing purposes, so these species will not only enhance the garden's aesthetic appeal but also serve as a living link to the rich history of medicinal botany. Ahead of the opening a gardening club is being set up, which will be made up of local residents and NHS staff, who will ultimately look after the gardening spaces around the hospital, alongside the hospital estates team. To ensure the ongoing sustainability of the garden and to support NHS staff wellbeing, the RHS Community Outreach team will run workshops onsite, with sessions including bulb planting, willow weaving and making bee homes. This project is part of a national initiative from the RHS in partnership with the NHS to create a network of wellbeing gardens across England. These gardens address the need for staff to have spaces to rest and recharge, which was especially highlighted during the pandemic. The first garden in this scheme opened at University Hospital Lewisham in 2022, where over 70% of staff surveyed reported improved mental health, citing the Wellbeing Garden as a crucial space for decompression and recharge during challenging periods. A second garden opened last summer at Colchester Hospital. Case studies from the project will feed into the RHS Wellbeing Garden Blueprint which is being developed this year. The Blueprint will provide a set of evidence-based principles to develop spaces that can be used to support human wellbeing in a universal garden context. Adam Frost, RHS ambassador and award-winning landscape designer and television presenter, said: “Creating spaces that offer a moment of calm and reflection is crucial, especially in such a busy setting as a hospital. Being able to support NHS staff and patients in ways that support their day to day care giving and recovery is so important and we’ll be drawing on findings from previous gardens to inform its design and planting. I hope the garden provides people with a chance to connect with nature, and that it attracts new visitors like bees and butterflies, too.” Dame Linda Pollard, Chair of Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust said: “We are thrilled to be working with the RHS to create this wellbeing garden at one of our hospitals. And I’d like to thank all those who have funded this, including our own Leeds Hospitals Charity, who fully support this wellbeing project. We know how important access to green spaces is for both physical and mental health, and this new garden will provide a much-needed sanctuary for our staff, patients, and visitors. “By transforming a simple lawn into a thriving, biodiverse space, we are not only enhancing the hospital environment but also supporting the wellbeing of everyone who passes through our doors. This project is a testament to the power of nature in healthcare, and we look forward to seeing the positive impact it will have on our community.” For more information about the St James’s University Hospital Wellbeing Garden and about the health benefits of gardening please visit here .

Lidl is investing £500,000 over two years in a new schools programme – Lidl Foodies – to help children across the country develop a love for healthy eating. The free initiative, which provides fun, interactive workshops on fruit and veg, aims to reach a quarter of a million primary school pupils in its first year alone, ensuring more children get hands-on experience with fresh food. The programme comes at a critical time, as research reveals that over two thirds (73%) of teachers are not teaching diet diversity in healthy eating programmes1. This is despite 97% of teachers recognising the importance of food education, with many citing a lack of curriculum time, resources, or training as key barriers to teaching healthy eating in schools2. As a result, less than a third of children aged 7 to 11 can identify common vegetables like courgette and beetroot3. Lidl is committed to making healthy food affordable and accessible for all, and Lidl Foodies is an extension of that mission – improving children’s connection with food through self-discovery, exploration, and hands-on learning, while supporting families in making balanced choices through its high-quality, affordable fresh produce. Since launching in October 2024, Lidl Foodies has already engaged over 130,000 pupils across more than 1,000 schools – over half of which are in deprived areas4. The programme provides teachers with ready-made workshop plans via the National Schools Partnership. As part of the first module, Lidl Tasters, teachers were given access to £100 Lidl vouchers to buy fruit and veg for in-class tastings. Following its success, Lidl is expanding the programme with two new modules this school year: Lidl Growers (Spring 2025) – Teaching children how fruit and veg is grown and where their food comes from Lidl Makers (Summer 2025) – Encouraging children to try new ingredients and learn simple, healthy recipes Georgina Hall, Head of Corporate Affairs at Lidl GB, said: “As a mum, I understand the challenges families face when it comes to getting kids excited about healthy food. I’m proud that, at Lidl, we’re making healthy eating easier and more accessible – both through our affordable, high-quality fresh food and by helping children build a positive relationship with healthy choices from an early age. With Lidl Foodies, we’re giving children the opportunity to explore different fruits and vegetables, broaden their knowledge of nutritious foods, and discover what they enjoy." “Through this approach, we’re not only supporting healthier habits in the classroom, but also helping parents make mealtimes easier and more enjoyable at home. This is just the beginning, and I’m excited to see how the programme will grow and develop. Ultimately, our goal is to inspire a new generation of foodies who not only embrace healthy food but also recognise the importance of fresh fruit and veg for a lifetime of well-being.” Kamahl Hoque, We Are Futures – delivery partner for the National Schools Program, commented: “Our research shows schools are crying out for more accessible ways to educate, inspire and engage children to eat healthy and affordable balanced diets. “Lidl’s bold new initiative, Lidl Foodies, not only provides fun food exploration for children in the classroom through high-quality learning, but puts kids in charge of tasting, growing and making the fruit and veg they love – that crucially, teachers and parents can buy at affordable prices." “Lidl’s commitment to inspiring the next generation of healthy eaters, whilst providing the freshest fruit and veg to schools and families, has led to the creation of a programme with real impact that is driving healthier eating behaviours. It’s been amazing to have supported them on this ground-breaking initiative.” Lidl’s latest announcement comes after the discounter recently reaffirmed its commitment to responsible marketing by removing all packaging designs deemed attractive to children from its least healthy own-brand products by mid-2025. This builds on its 2020 packaging changes, when Lidl became the first UK supermarket to confirm the removal of cartoon characters from its breakfast cereals to help parents resist ‘pester power’, paving the way for other retailers to follow suit.

Two University of Dundee academics are among the newest Fellows elected to the Royal Society of Edinburgh (RSE). The RSE, Scotland’s National Academy, elects Fellows in recognition of their impact in improving the world around them. Nominated for their individual excellence in their respective fields of medicine and life sciences Professor Chim Lang and Professor Ian Ganley are among a cohort of new Fellows of the RSE. Professor Lang is a consultant cardiologist and clinical pharmacologist and Professor of Cardiology at the University’s School of Medicine. Having trained in both cardiology and clinical pharmacology in the United Kingdom and in the United States, Professor Lang leads an integrated cardiovascular research laboratory dedicated and equipped to the study of cardiac and vasomotor regulation. His research takes a multi-disciplinary approach to the understanding of the pathophysiology and pharmacogenetics of cardiovascular diseases and to the development of treatment strategies in patients with cardiovascular diseases. He has published close to 400 papers in major journals, including the New England Journal of Medicine, Lancet, Annals of Internal Medicine, Circulation, European Heart Journal and JACC. Professor Ganley leads the Ganley Lab, at the University’s MRC Protein Phosphorylation and Ubiquitylation Unit (MRC PPU), part of the School of Life Sciences. With expertise in mitophagy, Professor Ganley’s work focuses on mitochondria – essential for cell maintenance. Accumulation of dysfunctional mitochondria has been linked to many diseases including cancer, diabetes and neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson’s disease. Under normal circumstances our cells use a recycling pathway termed mitophagy to turnover such damaged mitochondria. Professor Ganley’s work focuses on fully understanding how decisions are made by the cell to target functionally different pools of mitochondria. Professor Lisanne Gibson, the University’s Vice Principal of Research, said, “Congratulations to Chim and Ian on their election as Fellows to the Royal Society of Edinburgh. This is a well deserved recognition for their world-leading work over the years in their fields of research." “These prestigious awards are a recognition of the quality of research from the Schools of Medicine and Life Sciences at the University of Dundee which drives change throughout the world.”

A Coventry charity has taken delivery of a new £8k forklift truck thanks to a donation from one of the UK’s leading intralogistics companies. The truck provides a vital addition to the team at the Halo Centre warehouse in Binley, from which Feed The Hungry UK and Coventry Foodbank operate. Gavin Kibble MBE said: “Jungheinrich's generous donation of a forklift truck to Feed the Hungry is not just a gift of equipment, but a lifeline that will help streamline operations, maximise efficiency, and ultimately enable the charity to deliver food to hundreds of thousands in the UK and overseas.” He added: “This is the second forklift truck Jungheinrich have donated since we started our operations at the Halo Centre nine years ago. We are extremely grateful for Jungheinrich’s support over the years.” Feed The Hungry is an international Christian humanitarian organisation committed to fighting hunger due to poverty, war, famine and natural disasters. The charity works to reduce world hunger by establishing feeding programs following disaster relief operations in 21 different countries worldwide. With its partner organisations, since 1987, Feed The Hungry have globally assisted in feeding over 420,000 children every day in 25 countries. Feed The Hungry also provides disaster relief recovery programs through its network of community programs around the globe. Partners include: It Works Netherland, Red Wings UAE and UK, Rise Against Hunger, Rotary UK and Ireland and various local businesses, churches and individuals. Over 250k people have received food from Coventry Foodbank since it was founded by Canon Gavin Kibble MBE in January 2011. It is currently feeding about 500 people each week across the city. Consistently, more food is being given out by the foodbank than is being donated to the foodbank. Because of this, Coventry foodbank is reliant on generous financial donations from the public to help purchase food to make up the shortfall. With a team of more than 800 employees operating from four locations across the UK, Jungheinrich offers the industry’s widest range of intralogistics solutions, including high energy efficiency pallet trucks, stackers, counterbalance trucks and order pickers in more than 600 new or fully refurbished truck variants. A full intralogistics solutions provider, Jungheinrich excels in automation, racking systems, warehouse planning and financial services and operates one of the largest forklift rental fleets in the UK. The company is a division of the Jungheinrich AG Group, which has direct sales companies in 40 countries and Jungheinrich employs 21,000 people worldwide. Christian Hanke, Account Management Director at Jungheinrich, said: "We are thrilled to support Feed the Hungry by donating a refurbished forklift truck to aid their vital work. Efficient logistics is at the heart of what we do, and we are proud to help ensure essential food supplies reach those in need more effectively. This donation reflects our commitment to making a positive impact in the communities we serve."
