Dear Editor,

Re: Schemes - ideas - training - employment - community - environment and heritage.
Here is a small sample of some of the many ideas.

My first is recycled disability equipment re-distribution scheme and is currently in distribution around medical bases in Folkestone.

Others I would like to see happen soon:-

Training schemes for events, parks, public areas and conservation area clean up.

(I would personally enjoy training in this to train others!?)

Local 'well' fairs - Every ecological, environmental, community support group in an area on an annual local provision for welfare awareness event.

Campaign to get recycling/environmental awareness officers in major institutions.

Schools/colleges Arts and craft/invention in recycling competitions across the UK and recycling workshops

Workshop/workspaces to increase skills in renovation/restoration/mending and fixing/art and crafts in recycling. This would be also a community centre with outreach teams for access/life facilitation through storage, portability etc. It is Support, training, enterprising, inspirational, therapeutic and much more. Lending itself to retraining skills to persons of partial ability, offering support and facilitation to enhancing their lives perhaps into a self tailored worthwhile and/or re-employable status .

Recycled storage facility - Packaging and storage from envelopes and files, pill box to blanket box! For most people waste includes things thrown for the lack of space, storage or the facility to keep! Peoples useful articles can be a lifeline for access to a person of restricted movement!

Recycled friendly notices with waterproof carrier bag dispensers for litter picking/dog clean up bags, with them, recycled bins of recycled wood in areas of beauty, alleys, parks etc (larger areas having recycling containers for separation) Local communities could be brought together and through the media, parish councils, village hall clubs etc. advertise special days workshops in arts, community and environmental welfare. Perhaps even producing art installations encouraging the ethos of environmental responsibility in a thought provoking manner and environmentally friendly waste facilitation of course!

And just off the top of my head! Councils are dealing with deficits in their income in the next years and are hoping to recoup it in parking fines partly! Bring in a trained army of environmental/litter/recycling police instead as compulsory re-training for unemployed and fine litter bugs! ;-) .Those too proud to consider litter picking as a social responsibility would soon be back in employment!? ;-)

Would very much welcome comment and/or this sent to any ethical organisations interested in a disabled freelance and voluntary scheme developer?
