RTS clients - advertise your business FREE of charge in the RTS Online Directory
As part of our ongoing support to Ready to Start clients, we are creating an Online Directory that will advertise the businesses of RTS clients. If you have set up a business while on the RTS scheme, you can advertise your products or services on the Directory free of charge.
The Directory will sit within the enterprise section of the brand new disability information portal, Yoodo, due to be launched early autumn. As well as being a feature of the Portal, it will also be advertised on the Ready To Start website, the Online Network and will be promoted to google search engines. Although the directory will feature RTS businesses, it will continue past the end of the RTS project and into the foreseeable future. It will be maintained and you will be able to update your entry.
For your business, product or service to be featured, free of charge, in the directory please follow this link: http://readytostart.rowan.tincan.co.uk/?page_id=626

You may recall Tracy De Gietelink’s posting back in March?
http://readytostart.rowan.tincan.co.uk/?p=415
Well she’s on the road again, this time in staring in the Roundhouse Theatre, Dover Discovery Centre, Dover on Friday 24th July, at 10am, continuing her one-woman show of information, advice and humour.
In her own words:
This Health & Safety issue is relevant to you, your family, your colleagues and your friends.
With respect, for your information and wellbeing,
1 in 12 people worldwide has hepatitis B or C… I am number 12. Luckily for all those people in my work, social and family circle, , because I know that I carry the Hepatitis C virus … they are safe. (more…)

Food fit for a prince!
Hi all,
I just I want to share some good news with you and to let you know of one of my biggest achievement to date. It is fair to say that I have been given so many opportunities and have had many life changing experiences however, this is the greatest one so far. I know I am going on and you must be wondering what it could be so here it is!
Last week not only did I cater for Prince Phillip but I got to meet him in person and have a laugh with him. Can you imagine me Adrian Carter got to rub shoulders with royalty!!

Woman Aloud - the C in me
Pierced earrings, tweezers, tattoos, body piercings, toothbrush, the metal teeth on a cling film box… my blood is highly infectious, but everyone around me is safe… because I know I carry the virus and I make things safe. Approximately 20% of sufferers in this country know they are infected - that leaves 80% gaily unaware, and therefore not taking appropriate precautions.
My goal, pure and simple, is to raise awareness of Hepatitis C. Once you understand the virus you can take simple, yet life saving steps/precautions to prevent cross-infection - either way.
