I have just bought some new furniture for the house, and so need to get rid of some existing furniture to make space (does anyone want a good quality three-piece leather suite in peppermint green for free if you can arrange collection ?). I put the surplus suite up on Facebook Marketplace, initially with a price tag. I have had two responses so far. One person offered to buy it without seeing it, and was very keen to know my bank account details, and lost interest when I proposed an alternative means of payment. Another person also offered to buy it without seeing it, this time saying a delivery company driver would turn up at my door with cash. They lost interest when I pointed out it was bulky furniture. It made me feel very uncomfortable about their intentions, and the possibility of fraud or identity theft. The current spate of scamming in the county mentioned in this article has emphasised to me the Wild West culture of criminal activity associated with online fraud and related crimes that takes place. So we pray for the safety and security of all those people in our county who are at risk of being the target of fraudulent activity of some kind, and of the hurt that goes with it. We pray for all those involved in detecting and prosecuting fraudulent behaviour locally, and for those who inform and advise the public on countering scamming. And we pray for all of us that we help our family, friends and neighbours to beat the scammers. Every blessing, Andy Rickell, Circuit Social Justice Officer.

These days, and not just because of the impact of Covid, job interviews are increasingly being held online, for a whole set of sensible reasons. So it makes sense to be well-prepared for such an interview. This article gives some very useful advice. If you want more support than this article can offer, then we at Cirencester Ashcroft Work Club can help you. Our contact details are on the Cirencester Ashcroft Work Club Facebook page.

In the disabled people’s movement for equal rights, we used the word “ally” to describe someone who wanted to see equality for disabled people but who was themselves not disabled. Their role was to support disabled people to make their own voices heard and to let disabled people take the lead. Even if it’s not our fight for justice, we can be “allies” alongside those whose fight it is. Every blessing, Andy Rickell, Circuit Social Justice Officer
