In today's podcast, we have Nikki Stowe, who discusses "Accessibility For You". She explains what it is all about and how people can participate and contribute towards it.
As someone who has been a wheelchair user for a long time and also a handler of assistance dogs, I have had the opportunity to visit some fantastic places that prioritize accessibility and understand its importance. However, I have also faced situations where accessibility was inadequate, causing me stress and anxiety when entering unfamiliar spaces and wondering if my needs would be met. Despite these negative experiences, I remain committed to advocating for better training and awareness of accessibility. My journey has shown me that I am not alone, so I founded "Accessibility For You".

In this week's podcast, Jack interviews Jamie Morgan, and they discuss the world of AI.
Jack is usually behind the camera, recording episodes with guests and the host, but he is stepping in front of it this time. AI is changing how we do things in various fields, such as social media, marketing, photography, and videography.
The discussion revolves around whether AI is good or bad and how it can be used. While it can replace human beings in some cases, it can also be a helping hand for small businesses.
If you have any questions about AI or would like to share your thoughts on how it's changing the world around us, please get in touch. We would love to do a follow-up on this topic, as many apps now have AI built into them.

This week's episode features Tammy interviewing Lisa, who is taking over a local cleaning company called Lightwater Cleaning Solutions. The discussion revolves around the various services that the company offers to its clients.
When we think of cleaning, we usually picture someone visiting our home to keep it nice and tidy, and we pay them for their services. However, Lisa explains that their company provides multiple layers of services. These services are not just limited to residential cleaning but also business cleaning, house cleaning, and end-of-tenancy cleaning.
What's more, Lightwater Cleaning Solutions specializes in asbestos removal and has the necessary license and insurance to perform such jobs. This sets them apart from other cleaning companies, offering a unique service essential to maintaining a clean and safe environment.

Join Lissie from Near & Far Mobile Bar as she speaks to the team about this unique creation. Husband & Wife were sitting around in the sunshine sipping on some bubbles, they started talking about owning there bar again and began looking into how they could make it happen.
As they stood in the sunshine, they started thinking on deciding to convert a horsebox. A lover of upcycling, recycling, and repurposing, we wanted to make something beautiful from something that could have a new lease on life.
The Near & Far Bar Horsebox is based on a Beaufort Rice Horse Box. Our Horsebox was originally used to transport horses in London in the 1930's. Unloved and unused, our trailer was found in a field. The trailer has been completely renovated inside and out, transforming it from what was a dilapidated sad looking trailer into a classy, premium cocktail bar.
Everything on our Horsebox was selected by Matt and me, down to the plug sockets, and so much love, care, and craftsmanship went into this amazing conversion.
Taken from the website those lovely words, and the passion is here with this lovely story as revealed on this chat with Lissie, want to know more then head to the website.

The Drain Doctor is not something we think about every day, we call him only when something goes wrong, Anna was here to talk to us and give us some advice, this taken from the website.
We are all guilty of washing that frying pan oil down the sink after cooking, however, greases, oils and fats from cooking can quickly cause all sorts of issues. Solidified fats can clog pipes and damage not just your plumbing, but also sewage treatment plants. Similarly, if the fats and oils make it to the rivers and oceans, they can interfere with plants, fish and other waterside wildlife.
Listen to this podcast to find out how she and her husband run Drain Doctor locally to us.

Join Kate and the team discuss the importance of what she's trying to create on Fleet High Street.
They are trying to bring the most environmentally friendly products to Fleet which remove the need for plastic packaging, support a greener lifestyle.
Kate says ...In July 2018, a few folks on Keep Fleet Clean (a Facebook page that I ran to share plastic free-living ideas) were lamenting about how great it would be to have a ‘zero waste’ shop in our neighbourhood. When I tentatively said I’d look into it, I didn't realise that 6 months later I would be running one myself!
Having been a primary school teacher for 11 years and never seriously thinking I would do anything else; this is a whole new kettle of fish! I have learnt a huge amount and I have been on a learning curve the size of a Helter skelter. Yet, I have genuinely enjoyed it.
The best thing about this whole venture - alongside being able to help others to engage in a zero-waste life and make changes - however small - has been the amazing response from our community. So much support, encouragement and help from people all over and from all walks of life.
It is with pride that we hold a 5* hygiene rating.
Thank you to everyone.

Recently, Ewa Jones visited our team in Basingstoke regarding her photography business and to talk about it
In her words, from her website - My husband gave me my first DSLR for my birthday in 2011 and since then, photography has been my passion. For our first holiday in Greece, I took the camera with me and never put it down!
Having started a family 2 years ago, my real passion has become family photography. It is always rewarding to see the happiest moments of family life, whether it be a Newborn shoot, maternity shoot, or just having fun with your family. With my photography, I aim to capture HAPPY moments for you to treasure for years to come.
One day I picked up an old family album from my mom's house, and I was amazed by how simple and natural the photos looked. As a result, I have decided that I would like to have the same photos! Photos that show real emotions, fun and life-loving people! My goal is to create an easy and FUN shoot for you. Then you are in the right place!

We had a wonderful chat with Chantal recently about her wonderful business, and it’s a lovely story, here's a bit of background behind the business.
There is no doubt to the many mental health and wellbeing benefits keeping and caring for houseplants can have. A recent study has shown that houseplants can bring a 37% reduction in tension and anxiety, a 58% reduction in depression and a 44% reduction in anger and hostility.
The Grow My Wellbeing plant bundles are unique, fun to get your hands on and gives you the ultimate mindful experience and connection with nature indoors.

Lene is a primary school teacher, while she has been working mainly with Key Stage 1 students for 10 years. Teaching children has given me first-hand experience of the value of mark making.
The Little Learners program is a fantastic way to engage young children and develop their physical skills, such as core strength, coordination, and social skills.
It's also good for kid's writing skills if they are engaged in messy play sessions. Each week we practise a different shaped mark. As the children practise making marks, we can start to show them how to form letters and numbers. This is great for getting them ready for school!
Classes are mixed-age, with activities for babies through pre-schoolers. This makes them perfect for siblings.

Join Roger and Mandy at Cantine (its dogs barking so please excuse them!), where Robbie from Chimera has created a virtual world allowing people to not only see it but also interact with it. Students who are immersed in a subject are more motivated to learn it. Experiencing something is different from reading about it. VR allows them to explore a subject in-depth and see how things work rather than just reading about it.
In modern education, not much learning happens this way. It's a well-known fact that people learn best by doing. Instructions are read rather than used in practice, so students can become bored and disengaged.
If you would like more information, you can visit Chimera VR at https://www.chimera-vr.com/ or follow Chimera VR on Facebook.

Unlike car buying websites, they aim to sell your car at its actual value rather than returning you a trade price, leaving you with more cash to buy your next car. They work hard to ensure you get the most out of your car, taking care of any needed preparation, photography, advertising and buyer liaison.
You can hear this man's taste in music and offers some advice on buying a used car, more details have a listen to this fun and engaging conversation, more details below.
