Hi everyone and welcome to tonights presentation. Its good
to see so many of you in spite of the rain. Let me just start by
introducing myself. My names Liam Hanlon and Im a volunteer
with the Amber Foundation, which is a charity that works with
young homeless and unemployed people in order to help them
completely transform their lives. I first heard about the charity
when I was eighteen. At the time I was unemployed and was
sofa surfing as my parents had thrown me out of the house
because I was addicted to drugs. At Amber, I found people who
really cared about me and the other young people they helped.
In fact, they became like a family to me.
Now, Im going to look mainly at three things: who the Amber
Foundation can help, what kind of work it does and how
you can become involved and make a difference to young
peoples lives.
First of all, Id like to say a few words about the young people
who come to the foundation for help. At Amber, we help
vulnerable people between the ages of 17 and 30. Now, when
I say vulnerable Im referring to young people who have no
permanent home and who are unemployed. They may also have
other personal problems such as drug and alcohol addictions
or may have a history of criminal activity. Here at Amber, we try
to help them get over these problems and make a fresh start so
that they can look forward to a normal future.
The next thing Id like to explain, is how we help them. The
foundation currently runs three centres in the south of England.
They are Ashley Court in Devon, By the Sea Lodge in Wiltshire
and Farm Place, which is in Surrey Weald near the Sussex border.
Now young people in need can come to these centres in order
to find accommodation and help to transform their lives. The
accommodation is temporary, but they can stay here for as long
as they need to turn their lives around. Our centres are run by
caring staff who will provide them with the support they need

A: Excuse me, we were just wondering if there are any good
restaurants near here.
B: There are quite a few actually. What kind of restaurant are you
looking for?
A: Nothing too elegant, as weve got young children with us.
B: Theres a fast food restaurant right across the road.
A: Mmm, wed prefer somewhere a bit more characterful. Weve
never been here before so wed like to try some local food.
B: Oh, theres a lovely little pizzeria on the other side of the
square. Its called Dinos. They do the best pizza in Umbria and its
very affordable.

A: Hello. Can I help you?
B: Yes, do you have any information about day trips to the
surrounding area? Ill be here for a few days so I want to see as
much of the area as possible.
A: Well, you could go to Montserrat. Its about an hour away by
train.
B: Montserrat? Is it by the sea?
A: No, no, its a monastery. Its an historic site thats high up in the
mountains. There are amazing views from up there and there are
also some peaceful walks that you can go on if you like walking.
B: I dont mind walking, but not really up a mountain.
A: Dont worry, theres a cable car that can take you up
the mountain.
B: Ah, are there any guided tours?
A: Yes, theres one that leaves every morning at 9.30 a.m.
B: Great. Id like to book to go on tomorrows tour.
A: No problem. Can I take your name please?

A: Excuse me, how far is the port from here?
B: The port? Oh, its not that far actually, but its quite difficult to
get there on foot as you need to go onto the motorway.
A: Whats the best way to get there?
B: Well, there are buses that go there regularly.
A: Dont you need to buy a ticket before you get on a bus here?
B: Yes, you can get them at the yellow kiosks. Theyre quite cheap.
A: Do you know where I can find a kiosk near here.
B: Yes, theres one right over th hang on, that ones closed.
The nearest one after that is at the port!
A: Well, is there any other way I can get there?
B: You could take a taxi. It shouldnt be too expensive though.
Like I said before, the ports quite close.
A: Oh, heres one now. Thanks for your help.
B: Youre welcome.

hard on making neurons, and the brain, that way.
D: Absolutely. And one of the best
P: Can you explain what you mean by that?
D: Of course. If you think about what our ancestors had to do,
you see where higher-level thinking came from. Thousands of
years ago, early man had to become highly skilled at things like
tool making and hunting. Once these skills were in place, and no
longer needed to be thought about, there was an opportunity
to move on to more complex thought.
P: So the brain started to change?
D: Thats right. The human brain is very flexible. We sometimes
think of it like a computer in our heads. And in many ways it is,
but we should also remember that our computer is constantly
being updated. The brain reorganizes itself and transfers abilities
from one area to another.
P: What evidence is there for this?
D: Well, we know from brain scans, that as people get older,
brain activity moves across different parts of the brain, and
studies on people who have suffered brain injuries show that
the brain retrains itself to use undamaged areas. We can learn to
make better use of our brains if we want to.
P: What kind of things can we teach it to do?
D: There are a surprising number of things. Scientists have been
looking at two very different groups of people to see what
exercising the brain can do. The first is the Moken people who
live on the islands and west coast of Thailand. These people
spend long periods of their life at sea. To gather shellfish, they
dive underwater without using any kind of equipment. Whats
fascinating to scientists is that the Moken have such good
underwater vision they dont see things in an unclear way like
many people do when they swim below the surface. The Moken
can see underwater by making the pupil the round black
part of the eye smaller by over 20%, which gives them clearer
vision. Their brains order their bodies to adapt to suit its needs
to overcome a natural reaction. The Moken have underwater
vision that is twice as good as Europeans, but this difference
doesnt depend on where you come from. In fact, recent
studies have shown that children all over the world could teach
themselves to see clearly underwater if they wanted to.
P: Fantastic! And the other group?
D: Well, perhaps closer to home, neuroscientists have been
looking at London taxi drivers. They found that the drivers, who

not look very good. We seem to have a bit of an obsession with
disaster. Perhaps this is because we cant help thinking about
where the world is going, and how we can do anything about
it in a world that has a global population of around 7 billion
people. While some of the subjects of our entertainment come
from outer space, some are based a bit more on fact. Take the
subject of bees for example. Bees carry something called pollen
from plant to plant, and this process, known as pollination, is
essential to food production. This means the decline in the bee
population could have a huge impact on how we live. And that
decline is already happening. To find out more, Im talking with
Dr Peter Wood. Good evening, Dr Wood.
D: Good evening, and thanks for having me here.
P: So, tell us more about whats happening to bees. Is it
something we really have to worry about?
D: Well, as you said, the decline in the bee population, and those
of other pollinating insects, is highly likely to negatively affect
the global economy. It is estimated that wild honey bees are
responsible for pollinating over one third of the worlds crops.
That means that without bees, wed have at least 33% less fruit
and vegetables, and that would lead to growing food costs and
food shortages. Here in the UK, 200 million worth of honey
is sold every year and we sell close to 1 billion worth of fruit.
Thats a lot of money that would be lost without the countrys
estimated bee population of around 50 billion, dont you think?
P: Definitely. So youre saying that pollination is critical for
keeping food prices down and preventing food shortages.
Whats the reason for the decline in bee numbers?
D: Well, globally the bee population is actually growing. Since
1961, there has been an increase of 45%. But the problem is that
this growth cant actually keep up with the demand we have
for bees to pollinate our food crops. We have more bees, but
were asking them to do more. There just arent enough bees to
pollinate all the plants and phenomena like colony collapse
disorder arent helping.
P: Colony collapse disorder. Thats when groups of healthy bees
suddenly leave their hives, right?
D: Yes, thats right. We first started noticing this in 2006 when
bee keepers reported the loss of between 30 and 90% of
their bees. A lot of work has been done to understand the
phenomenon, but a single cause still hasnt been found.
P: There are some suggestions that it might be related to
farming methods.
D: Well, yes. There are a number of modern pesticides
chemicals that kill certain insects that have been introduced
over the last couple of decades that are toxic to bees. In fact,
the European Union has decided to stop using some of these
chemicals for the next two years to see if that makes a difference.
Another factor that is less easy to control is the environment.
P: How is the environment affecting bees?
D: Well, global warming, and higher temperatures, seem to add
to the decline in bee populations. Weve seen lots of unusual
weather patterns, and this has meant that the times when plants

for Kids UK a service that matches keen bakers with families
struggling to provide a birthday cake for their child. The charity
recently delivered its 1,000th cake to a family who couldnt
afford one. The organizers of the charity have seen a huge rise in
the amount of interest in fact, there are now more volunteer
bakers than there are people requesting the cakes.
Various other charities have benefitted from this rise in the
number of charitable bakers. The first Bake for Bumps campaign,
where people baked and sold food to raise money for the
childrens health charity Sparks, raised 27,000. Baking also
provided the charity with the opportunity to expand its group of
donors 98% of people who signed up to the fundraising were
new supporters and mostly female. Traditionally, supporters of
the charity have been male.
Other charities have enjoyed similar success. For example, Great
Ormond Street Hospitals Bake it Better campaign has raised
more than 45,000 since 2009.
But its not all about baking cakes. The charity Dinner4Good
uses peoples interest in food and cooking to raise money for
a number of organizations. The idea is that you invite several
friends to a dinner party, paying for the cost of the meal yourself,
and guests make an online donation to the charity youve
chosen. The average dinner party raises 120, although one
party recently raised 1,000. One benefit of the dinner party
idea is that it gives people the opportunity to talk about the
charity theyre supporting. This means that others may decide
to support it too, by holding a dinner party themselves or doing
other fundraising events.
There has also been an increase in the number of people
wanting to get involved in charities like Foodcycle, which
brings together volunteers, available kitchens and unwanted
supermarket food to create meals for poor people. Since 2009,
around 2,500 volunteers have made over 63,000 meals for the
charity. The organizers believe that interest has been driven by
greater publicity about food poverty and food waste. Some
volunteers are motivated by altruism, while others are keen
to develop cooking skills or just love food! But, whatever their
motive, the charity needs more of them, because there has
recently been a rise in demand for food aid in the UK.
According to the Institute of Fundraising, the trend to cook
instead of send money reflects a growing desire to be more
involved in a good cause rather than simply handing over cash.
