A virtual meeting to discuss the migrant barge was postponed until next week. The sun was shining, so I headed to Durlston Country Park, near Swanage, on my bike. I went to meet the remarkable Paula Kirk who, along with co-director Eddie Gillespie, established a charity called ALLSORTD. It caters for adults with issues like learning disabilities and aims to help them recover their self-esteem and find work. Paula has now set up in a cottage right next to Durlston Castle and she and Eddie were busy with their clients when I arrived. Over a cuppa, we chatted for some time. There are still some issues facing Paula's clients, not least regarding PIP. I shall try and organise a virtual meeting with the minister. Paula is expecting to open a shop in the town in the next month, where they will sell what her clients make. I was shown some colourful bird boxes and some crafted woodwork which they hope to sell. I left inspired and next travelled the short distance to Swanage pier to meet Jeremy Hoare, who is a presenter on the small charity radio station Purbeck FM. He was charming and explained that funding was an issue. That led me to Dolly Brown, who is the fundraiser for the pier, where the station is based. Dolly explained the situation to me and I will put her in touch with my contact at the Lottery. I also wrote to the minister to see if there are any Government funds for these small and important local stations. I was due to meet the Swanage rowing club, but they had no issues to raise and instead I dropped in for a sandwich with my old friend Michael Turner, who runs the Castle Inn in Corfe Castle. I do recommend it. His Dad, Mark, was abroad, so I missed him. As I headed home, the heavens opened. Typical. Back at my desk, I followed up on my visits by completing all the necessary correspondence.
