New Smarter Working Centre for Hampshire
Brain Tumours kill more children than any other cancer.
This is Ali’s story... I became aware that Ali had a subtle incomplete movement in her eye that only a mother would notice. Test after test. And they could see nothing wrong. “To be on the safe side we’ll do a scan,” they said. The scan destroyed us. THEY FOUND A TUMOUR – A BRAIN TUMOUR!
Radiotherapy gave us so much extra time. An amazing swim with the dolphins, a wish fulfilled. Such special memories.
Just before Ali’s 8th birthday, in the early hours our light went out – a piece missing never again to be complete.
Support brain tumour research and give hope to the 16,000 children and adults diagnosed with a brain tumour each year.
The latest member of the Smarter Working Centre (SWC) network opened in Eastleigh in November 2010, offering business start- ups, home-based companies and entrepreneurs, low-cost accommodation and the chance to work and meet locally and avoid the stress and cost of the peak- time journey to work.
Eastleigh SWC joins a countywide network of eight flexible, convenient workhubs which offer comprehensive IT facilities for start-up companies. The SWCs are ideal for small companies which need a professional office environment without the commitment of a long-term lease.

The SWCs were created following discussions by the Hampshire Senate to try to identify action that could be taken by local authorities to help businesses in the economic downturn. The network is free to join, and members also benefit from access to advice, support and training from expert organisations such

as Enterprise First and Business Link.
Accommodation and usage costs at SWCs are kept low by offering users the option to ’pay as you go’ or book discounted, allocated prepaid office space. Depending on the membership package chosen, this can work out from as little as £4 per hour, or £12 per day.
Centres are now open in Aldershot, Basingstoke, Eastleigh, Fareham, Gosport, Havant, Lyndhurst and Portsmouth.
The SWC website provides an easy introduction for those new to the concept, and offers real- time space availability checking, online booking, and secure online payment.
