Connected Radford or Hyson Green
Anyone who has an internet connection can now access the Neighbourhood Development Company Connected Radford and Hyson Green portal and follow the various links to locally relevant services. The portal is still very much a work in progress. We are therefore keen for people to access the site and send us their comments on it using the feedback form at the bottom of the menu on the left of the home page.
Physiotherapy self-referral pilot
Patients in Nottingham can now refer themselves for physiotherapy as part of a new pilot being run by the Primary Care Trust. The trial will be run through the PCT Rehabilitation Services for 12 months in order to assess the benefit and feasibility of such a scheme in Nottingham. Tell me more!

Women's Aid
The Women's Aid Pet Project aims to find foster homes for the pets of women involved with Women's Aid. The family pet may be left behind in the rush to give refuge to a victim and/or their children. The pet may also be a victim of domestic violence or had threats made against it.
The Pet Project is desperately looking for fosterers for all types of animals. If you would like to get involved, give Sarah at Women's Aid a call on 0115 934 8487 or email refs4pets@yahoo.co.uk
