New mural makes a splash in Hartlepool
Iain was on hand to unveil a specially commissioned mural to inspire staff at a local call centre.
Students from Cleveland College of Art and Design Cheryll Kung, Rebecca Readman and Laura Heasman created the painting for staff at Anglian Water here in Hartlepool.
Team leader Carron Brown came up with the idea of the mural to help brighten up the workplace and it incorporates the company's mission statement which is Leading, Vital and Proud.
Iain said
"It was a pleasure to unveil the mural and to meet the talented artists involved in producing it. I hope that such talent is kept in the town and that more businesses will realise the potential of our Arts students here in Hartlepool."

Iain supports caring together
Iain went along to Hartlepool Carers' Centre today to see the help available for carers whose health may be affected by the stresses and strains of caring.
As part of Carers' week carers were able to have their blood pressure and weight checked and there was an opportunity to share experiences, relax, enjoy a cuppa and have a chat; this is of great comfort and support and relieves the sense of isolation that many people are affected by.
Hartlepool Carers are encouraging carers to register at their local GP surgeries, it means that whenever the GP assesses a carers medical record, he or she can see that you have caring responsibilities. This would make them aware of the situation and the reason why you may be suffering from a certain condition - for example back pain (which can be brought on by lifting, moving or handling a loved one at home).
For more information please contact Hartlepool Carers Centre on 01429 283095

Iain takes part in National Bookstart Day
Iain presenting books to the children on National Bookstart Day*
Iain was happy that he got the chance to take part in National Bookstart Day at Central Library for the third year running. The theme this year was 'At the Seaside' so there were plenty of seaside activities to take part in.
The Bookstart initiative is run by book trust, an independent national charity which encourages people of all ages - especially children - to become interested in books.
The children who attended the event were presented with a treasure chest of books by Iain to help encourage a passion for reading and books.
