Each charity had six minutes to tell the audience about the change they are making and what support they need, with an opportunity for challenging questions at the end. Richard Sved and Mandy Johnson, expert pledge masters, then helped facilitate the live crowdfunding session.

New play on tour celebrates the Hertfordshire Suffrage campaigners of 100 years ago

11/09/2018 - Marking this year's centenary of women gaining the vote in national elections, a new play from community theatre company Pins & Feathers is touring Hertfordshire in September.'The March' is based on the real-life stories of Hertfordshire women who fought for change, from Suffragette Lady Constance Lytton of Knebworth, who endured prison and force feeding, to the Suffragists – the non-militant campaigners - who spread the message in every town and village.
The play features the extraordinary Great Pilgrimage of July 1913, in which thousands of Suffragists from all over the country marched to London to demonstrate peaceful mass support for the vote. The event had a big impact on Hertfordshire, as two arms of the march passed through the county.
Marchers coming down the Great North Road passed through Letchworth, Hitchin, Stevenage, Knebworth, Welwyn, Hatfield and Potter's Bar, while those coming from East Anglia down the Cambridge Road went through Royston, Buntingford, Ware and Collapse

TUC calls for new tech to pave way to shorter working week and higher pay
10/09/2018 - New technology like AI, automation and robotics could pave the way for better working conditions - Expand
10/09/2018 - New technology like AI, automation and robotics could pave the way for better working conditions - including higher pay and reduced workloads - a new TUC report sets out today (Monday).Government and business estimate that new technologies could boost UK GDP by at least £200bn in the next decade. But most UK workers (51%) expect that the benefits of new technology will be hoarded by managers and shareholders, rather than shared fairly between managers, shareholders and ordinary workers (34%).
The TUC says that the government must act now to make sure workers share in these gains, by raising workers' living standards and giving them more control at work.
Shorter hours and higher pay
Full time workers in the UK put in some of the longest hours in the EU, behind only Austria and Greece. And they rack up £32 billion worth of unpaid overtime. New analysis in the report shows that the number of people working all seven days of the week has now reached more than 1.4 million.

10/09/2018 - The second phase of the High Street improvement works, led by Watford Borough Council in partnership with Hertfordshire County Council and Watford BID, is now well underway.The High Street transformation so far has already proved successful, with better access for pedestrians and cyclists. Bollards are now in place to prevent vehicles from illegally driving through the town centre. This, coupled with widened pavements, upgraded bus shelters, waste bins and the relocation of the taxi and blue badge bays has all resulted in an improved town centre experience for residents and visitors to the town.
The first phase of the major High Street transformation finished last week and the second phase, which is due to be finished by the end of October, focuses on renovating the High Street from 102 High Street (outside Café Nero) to Market Street. The bus stops in the High Street at stops M, N and O along Beechen Grove have been suspended. The resurfacing of the bus lay-by was completed on Collapse
