be taken down. The 68 uprising sent shockwaves across the world as the whatsOn students & workers revolt lead to a brief moment where the government was called in to question. 68 lead the way to greater democracy and gay, multicultural & women's rights. We celebrate the sprit of 68 with our renewed commitment to uphold our progressive ideals throughout the pages of WhatsOn. Together we can make change! SAM Says

2 Focus NO one expected much from the Labour leadership after the successive let down. However Jeremy Corbyn has given us something to aspire to. Imagining the utopia and believing that we can organise the world alternatively empowers people to take steps towards it. Once people are doing this the every day utopia will be embedded in our daily routine. After all, utopia is all around us - a hope that inspires us for a better & fairer world for all. HEAVEN on Earth

3 Infomania THERE is still time to save the people & planet. Global action & regeneration is urgently needed. There are three dimensions to transformation: 1> Holding actions, resisting and stopping more damage from happening. 2> Building new systems that make old systems obsolete. 3> Seeing things with new eyes and re-telling the story of who we are and what we are capable of. PLANET Peace

5 Upfront WE can draw from 68 that through counter-culture & building a broad democratic alliance we can resist the right wing bigots. Now we need to be bold, visionary and believe a better world is possible. Inspire one another through our enthusiasm about new ways of sharing economically, politically & socially. Stop being negative and celebrate the movements & people who are making progressive change happen. FINALLY> It’s up to all of us to PROGRESSIVE People create the world we want!

OUTSIDE Views DINING @ Pampano Did you know that over 2,500 suspect devices, WWII bomb, and terrorist situations are attended each year in the United Kingdom? Little is known about the men and women of the bomb disposal community who are keeping us all safe.

Every day bomb disposal and search personnel can be faced with highly pressured situations. This continued exposure to intense stress can have lasting effects, both mentally and physically. Felix Fund is here to help this unique group of men and women. We help anyone who has conducted or assisted with Explosive Ordnance Disposal and Search duties across all three services of the British military as well as SO15 (Metropolitan Police Counter Terrorism Unit). We help those still serving, veterans and their immediate family members. We can only continue with this work with funding and support from people like you. Please make a donation to ensure these unsung heroes get the help they need. Donate at www.justgiving.com/felixfund For more information about the charity visit our website www.felixfund.org.uk or follow us on Facebook and Twitter @Felix Fund.

Your gift means pets and their owners will share more priceless time together, and you’ll have the quiet satisfaction of knowing you’ve made a diff erence. Experience teaches us that it’s better to give than receive, so please let your generosity shine on for years to come with PDSA.

Most UK drivers can pass their driving test without an eye test and then drive a ton of metal most of their lives. We can lose up to 40% of our vision without noticing it, yet UK regulations, unlike other countries, allow drivers to self-report that their vison is OK for driving. #DrivingBlind is linked to up to 3,000 road casualties every year. That’s bad news for all road-users – kids and cyclists in particular.

Susila Dharma Britain: Guided from within to take action in the world Susila Dharma offers a platform for people to act from their inner impulses for the good of humanity. Faced with suffering, want and injustice, we choose to act from what is good within each one of us, and support each other in doing so.

We support small start-up projects in the UK and around the world in some of the poorest communities, enabling people to realise courageous ventures in the fields of health and well- being, community development, the environment and education.

Anisha Schools Kitchen Garden, India Yayasan Usaha Mulia, Indonesia

We aim to target specific development activities, enabling projects to become more self- sustaining in the long-term. These projects are truly diverse in their nature, but they all reflect the determination to work in meaningful ways that make us stop and think about our own life purpose.

For example, we currently support a seed-growing enterprise in Southern India to establish sustainable farming techniques that can withstand drought. We fund a training centre in Kalimantan, Indonesia to help develop employment skills for people to find jobs. We support a conservation project in the dry rainforest of Colombia to encourage local people to develop income-generating activities that are in harmony with their natural environment. We fund several health and learning centres in war-torn Congo region for people to get the basic care that they desperately need.
