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.

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.
