What being in the EU has meant for my family
What has Europe ever done for me? It's a question that the impending referendum has caused me to ask myself. I had always been supportive, but throwing myself into the campaign to remain meant I needed to be clear in my mind why I was supportive and what the benefits were. And having helped so far at street stalls in Truro, Plymouth, Taunton, Yeovil, Bristol and Stroud, it has proved a useful exercise as voters have rightly demanded to know what good the EU has done.

12bn unclaimed? I wonder why.
Last week I had one of my regular long chats with my wonderful father and, as it often does, what he said got me thinking. Why don't more older and disabled people know about all the things they are entitled to from the State and that they deserve to receive? How many lives could be improved and made easier if people just knew what's out there to help them? Welfare benefits, home helps, aids and appliances, it's all there and available but people often don't know about it or don't realise it applies to them and their own particular circumstances.
