decorative designs which include golden bowls of flame, rippling trays of fire, or a sin­ gle, striking iridescent flame. If you have no chimney - no


problem! There are flueless fires that bum so cleanly there is no need for a chimney or catalytic converter. The trend for simple designs


continues but there are more glamorous touches this season. Glossy and reflective materi­ als for the surrounds and fire holders accentuate the natur­ al beauty of the flames. Sleek, polished surrounds lend them­ selves to both contemporary and classic interiors. Finally, don’t neglect the


humble stove. It is making a comeback because it is a good- looking alternative to a gas or electric fire. So turn the lights down low,


keep the temperature up and enjoy a chill-free style-hot sanctuary this winter.


Society’s battle to beat bullying


JOIN Melanie Blatt, Sir Ranulph Fiennes, Kirsty Young and Sir Michael Aspel in sup­ porting The Children’s Society’s annual Christ­ mas fund-raiser, Christingle. By holding a ser­ vice in your church, school or community you can add your voice to the cry for an end to bul­ lying in our schools. The Children’s Society hopes its Christmas


fund-raiser will shine a light on bullying. The charity has been working with the


Department of Education and Skills (DfES) to help highlight the ongoing need to tackle this issue through the DfES’s anti-bullying cam­ paign which is launched across the UK this


month. It will help schools make a commitment to a.


zero tolerance culture and support them in ensuring they are doing all they can to tackle bullying.


Supporting the charity’s decision to back a


commitment to tackle the problem of bullying is the recent report by The Children’s Society, Improving Behaviour. It shows children still pinpoint bullying as a


major issue at school. The children interviewed suggested solutions


to combat bullying and pointed out that they want to be involved in writing anti bullying policies, and work together with schools, gover­ nors and parents to address it. Help on how to deal with bullying for chil­


are a great way for children to join in and hear other children’s stories about bullying and show their commitment to stamping the problem out.

K . I .K . O U A D S H O P Children, parents and teachers can make making a donation or holding a Christin­


their voices heard by organising their own services or special assemblies and class activities. Says Julie Mclarnon of The Children’s


Society: “The Children’s Society welcomes the Government’s commitment to tackling the issue of bullying within schools. We believe that the most effective way of com­ bating the problem is to adopt a no-blame approach, as recommended in the Govern­ ment’s guidelines for schools “Do not suf­ fer in silence,” that highlights the effects of bullying rather than the actions of those responsible. This way nobody is labelled - simply supported to change the way they behave.” If you would like to host a Christingle


service in your community please call 0845 300 1128 for a free starter pack. For a guide to dealing with bullying please visit www.christingle.org Singer Melanie Blatt says: “As a mother bullying is a major concern for me. I do not want children to be afraid of school - I want it to be a positive place. It makes sense for us all to work together to end this problem that means children, parents, teachers and bullies need to be part of the solution. Join me and The Children’s Soci­ ety to help make this happen either by

gle.” Sir Ranulph Fiennes OBE, said: "It


takes courage and determination to explore and face our fears. The Children’s Society works to help


children who are bullied to do just that. The charity is making a stand and needs your help to stamp out bullying. “By taking part in a Christingle service


you can support a worthy case and help lighten the load for bullied children across the UK.” Sir Michael Aspel said: “Ever since I was


dangled by my ankles from a second floor window by a school thug, I have taken a personal interest in the subject of bullying. All power to the Children’s Society cam­ paign. I cannot imagine anything more worthwhile.” Kirsty Young, news presenter, said:


“Join me in supporting the Children’s Soci­ ety this Christmas as it works to put an end to bullying. By taking part in a Christingle you will


be helping to shine a light on this serious issue. “We want to help all children who suffer


through bullying, whether they are the vic­ tim or the bully. Together we can make it stop.”
