The Audit Commission has published Neighbourhood crime and anti-social behaviour: Making places safer through improved local working
This report considers how local agencies responsible for community safety can work better together and with local people to make neighbourhoods safer and improve the perception of public safety. These local agencies include the police, local government, the fire authorities and, in England, primary care trusts, or, in Wales, local health boards.
And...a partnership between nurse practioners and a national dance company has won an award for improving the health of older people in an innovative way.
The project is a weekly, relaxed session aimed at the over 50s, offering dance and movement, trips out, health information and guest speakers. Previous to this project, there had been little opportunity for older residents to socialise, and they often remained housebound.
Not only is it a fantastic way to keep fit, but it's hard to feel down when you're dancing. Maybe I should follow their lead...

But surely you're not over 50 Ingrid?
No, I'm not...but surely what that partnership showed is that dancing is for every age!
