++Webwatch
Our Vitalise Holidays section now has a bright new look, with an easy to use layout and extra pictures. We’ve also used a similar layout to display the Experience Breaks at our Vitalise Centres and all our regional fundraising events. We've made the text resize buttons easier to use and added Quick Links to the right hand side of each page so you can easily find your favourite web pages. Our free new eCards are now available, with more designs to follow - look out for the 'Send a vCard' button on the right of every page. Don't forget, it's your website, so send us your comments or suggestions using the web feedback form. Find our website at

++Shop news
An old friend of Vitalise helped out at the opening ceremony of our new shop in New Milton. The Reverend Graham Smith is a veteran volunteer at Vitalise Churchtown and offered his services to Shop Managers Claire Hoskins and Debra Lockwood. The Reverend gave an entertaining speech to the assembled crowd before cutting the ribbon and making a donation to get the ball rolling. We are pleased to report that the New Milton shop took £1,400 in its first week.
The New Milton shop is at Unit 3, Mallard Buildings, Station Road, New Milton, Hampshire BH25 6HY
++Your right to fly
The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) has launched a national campaign to promote new rights for airline passengers with reduced mobility. It is designed to help people with physical disabilities, reduced mobility or temporary injuries access air travel. Under a new EU law, anyone with reduced mobility can now ask for the appropriate help when they need it, whether it's from the tour operator, airline or airport. The EHRC has published Your Rights to Fly, a free guide explaining your rights and the services available to you.
