Have a day off, create a new holiday.

Britain hasn't had a new Bank Holiday for 30 years and now thousands of people are being asked to make a new one happen.

www.communityday.org.uk is attempting to rectify the situation by getting a new Bank Holiday in October so we can all celebrate volunteering and make a difference in the community (and not, for example, sit in Traffic Jams on the M6 as we all try to visit Blackpool).

To do your bit to make it happen (and so i can get an extra lie-in) just sign-up to www.communityday.org.uk

BFZ: Charity of the Year 2008

Bully Free Zone last night attended the Halo sponsored Feather Ball at the Lowry Hotel in Manchester to find that we had won the Express Yourself Charity of the Year Award 2008.

The awards are designed to recognise the excellent work that individuals and charties do throughout the UK and Bully Free Zone managed to beat off stiff competition from the other finalist, 'Talk, don't Walk' to be crowned this years Charity of the Year.

The event was fantastic with some wonderful grub and great music. Kev got to 'bust a few moves' to the Mowtown All-Stars and The Dreamgirls, whilst Nicola and Fiona tried to prevent Chantelle from making any further 'faux-pas' (they didn't really succeed).

BFZ would like to extend their thanks to everyone at Halo and Express Yourself for inviting us to the event and making us feel so welcome.
