Sean of Falling Whistles explains about campaigning for peace in Congo

Sean

Sean from Falling Whistles visited us the other day to explain about their work campaigning for peace in Congo. A fascinating story and an inspirational message.

Originally just a journal written about boys sent to the frontlines of war armed with only a whistle, Falling Whistles became a campaign launched with a simple response – make their weapon your voice and be a whistleblower for peace in Congo. They partner with local leaders to advocate and rehabilitate for those affected by war.

nice surprise from our new neighbour Ben Sherman

Chinos
Ben Sherman are opening a new shop on Commercial Street round the corner from our office. I was surprised and chuffed to receive a rather excellent pair of chinos from them this morning. Haven't tried them on yet but they look pretty good and I think they're even the right size. Lovely gesture and, I would venture to suggest, one that sets a splendid example for other local businesses.
Thanks, Mr Sherman.
