Welcome to my online diary, enjoy your stay!
In November 2005 whilst home recovering from an operation I decided to try and design a web page for White Springs Fisheries in Pontarddulais I soon started adding info on the fishery website page of my community activities, but as I got more and more involved in community projects, I decided to start this blog in order to keep my community activities and involvement seperate to the fishing. You can email me with comments at slloydjanes@aol.com

Supporting Parents and Carers Campaign |
Usdaw's Supporting Parents and Carers Campaign seeks to improve the lives of workers with either parental or caring responsibilities. Around 75% of Usdaw members are either parents or carers (or both) and they tell us loud and clear that they need the Union to campaign for them.
The campaign aims to make gains through our negotiations with companies and to campaign with Government for more rights. Since it was launched in 2004 the campaign has delivered:
The next Spotlight Day, Wednesday 3 June 2009, is focused on making sure working parents know about their benefit rights and understand how to go about claiming the money that's theirs.
We also want to use the day to build support for the Government's campaign to end child poverty by 2020.
