Being prepared for your child being ill
We all think very carefully about what we would do if we, or our partner, was seriously ill and had to lose time from work. Taking out insurance policies that allow us to be paid in the case of sever and serious accident or illnesses is now a part of our lives, and one which we prepare for. But what happens if it is not an adult who is ill, but one of our children.

Benefits and Employment Allowance – Find out what you are entitled to.
We constantly hear about Benefit Britain, and how the amount of benefits claimed are now a major drain on the country and the economy, but there are actually many people who do not claim a penny of what they are entitled to. For many people, particularly those who were previously entitled to incapacity benefit, the idea of claiming at all is frightening, from the copious amount of paperwork that you are required to fill in, to just not knowing if you are entitled to anything, and therefore sticking your head in the sand.

NRS Healthcare – Raising Alzheimer’s Awareness
I lost my nan to an aggressive form of Alzheimer’s. This was in 1998, but even today, almost 20 years on, I can still remember everything in vivid detail, from the moments when we cried with despair that there was nothing we could do, and laughed out loud because it was the only thing to do. Alzheimer’s takes away the person you love, even if they are still there in body, and despite the fact that it affects so many people – 1 in 14 people over 65, 1 in 6 people over the age of 80, it is still a disease that we seem to know so little about,…
