Month: January 2020

Believe it or not, but on average, we spend a third of our adult lives at work. And whether you’re on a building site, inside a busy factory or tapping away at the keyboard in the office, accidents can and do happen.

But with a staggering 30,000 personal injury claims issued in county and magistrates courts last year, it never hurts to be prepared.

Young Art East Anglia is an annual art competition for Suffolk’s primary school pupils, that raises money for Cancer Research UK.

About 350 selected art will be displayed at the Peter Pears Gallery in Aldeburgh. Winners are notified by late February.

But a leading lawyer has urged those undertaking new fitness regimes to take precautions to prevent themselves from injury.

February is a month where love is in the air, and one local audiology company is encouraging the public to truly connect with their loved ones by taking action against hearing loss.

For families everywhere Christmas can be a tricky time. Rows about whose family to visit, relatives we’d rather not see and who is cooking the Christmas dinner can all threaten to spoil what should be the most wonderful time of year.

With the Christmas season upon us and festive functions about to be in full swing, getting ‘merry’ with our colleagues is one way many of us like to wind down after a busy year.
