Support for Conies’ efforts
Children’s road safety heroes The Conies, created in Birmingham, struck a chord with a leading Midland recruitment group during a road safety initiative. Pertemps Network Group has matched to the
tune of £10,000 the sum raised by the road safety organisation behind the Conies initiative from musical fundraising events across Europe. The brainchild of Fay Goodman, director of
Birmingham-based DriveSafe & StaySafe, The Conies are an animated family of traffic cones that take part in amusing and instructive adventures to help children improve their road safety. Fay joined special guest artist Mohinder Singh,
a tabla player who performed recently with Take That, violinist Pete Harley and The Celturian on the fundraising tour. She said: “We used a mystical fusion of 4,000-
year-old tabla rhythms by Mohinder and 400- year-old Japanese sword kata, as well as a Tessan dance (a war dance using fans), to provide a dramatic and rewarding show that thrilled our audiences.” Tim Watts, lifetime president of Pertemps, presented a giant cheque for £10,000 to Fay to

support her efforts in promoting an initiative that matches his company’s health and safety ethos. Mr Watts, who is also a ‘Conies Ambassador’,
said: “This fantastic charity works to raise road safety awareness and helps to save the lives of children. “Fay works hard to organise fun and different
events to raise funds for the charity and I am pleased to be able to help such a brilliant cause.”
In Brief
A clinic which specialises in holistic natural health treatments that are chemical-free is now licensed to conduct courses on their methods. The Kerala Ayurveda Spa Clinic in Sparkhill
has been successful in obtaining approval to undertake Ayurveda courses at the clinic. Clinic director Mary Reynard said their first
course was designed for supporters of natural well-being and healing. She said: “There will be an approved
examination after which a certificate will be issued by Bharat Sevak Samaj (BSS), a national development agency.”
A Balsall Heath-based social enterprise which advises Muslim families on parenting has launched a new programme called the ‘5 Pillars of Parenting’, which is aimed at teenagers. The organisation – Approachable Parenting,
which is in George Street – said the course was aimed at supporting parents who were experiencing behavioural and communication difficulties with teenagers. Kathleen Roche-Nagi, Director of
Approachable Parenting, said: “Essentially they are young adults but still require structure and guidance that respects their independence.”
