Budget 2012: Red tape will be slashed for volunteer events

Measures that will reduce the bureaucratic burden on holding charity events have been promised in the government’s Spring Budget.

The Chancellor announced measures including sector-specific reviews of regulation from next month, with volunteer events being in the first tranche of reviews.

Around 1,500 regulations had been examined in the Red Tape Challenge, the Chancellor advised, with over half identified as needing to be scrapped or improved.

The coalition also announced that it aims to scrap or improve 84 per cent of health and safety regulation, including measures taken in 2012, “so that ‘strict liability’ provisions in health and safety law will no longer hold employers to be in breach of their duties when they have done everything that is reasonably practicable and foreseeable to protect their employees”.

Update from Donna’s Dream House

Onwards and Upwards – Donna’s Dream House looks forward to a fantastic 2012!

We are pleased to announce that Donna’s Dream House has now been re-opened after the arson attack before Christmas. We are still some way off being fully operational as our new reception and office cabin is due to be delivered this week and we hope to have the majority of work completed by 31st March. New referrals can now be forwarded to us to commence after that date.

Due to the arson attack we have lost the majority of our contacts and booking information, so if you know of any bookings or referral agencies then please can you pass these onto us at lencurtis@donnasdreamhouse.co.uk

Over £120,000 has been spent on the refurbishment and rebuild making the dream bigger and better.

Thank you to all those who have offered help, support and kind words during this difficult time.

Kind Regards

Len Curtis MBE
