Every year the Mayor's Civic Awards recognise the work of Islington's unsung heroes, those whose determination and dedication to their communities make a real difference to the people of this borough. The 2008 winners will be celebrated at a glitzy bash at Finsbury Town Hall on March 13 next year, but now is the time to nominate those you feel should be on the esteemed list.

It tells the struggle of Tomas Young, 25 years old, paralyzed from a bullet to his spine — wounded after serving in Iraq for less than a week. Body of War is his coming home story as he deals with his disability and finds his own passionate voice against the war. Tomas is a remarkable heroic man. The documentary also follows the journey of his mother, Cathy Smith, who has cared for him and fought for him to get the care he needs from an indiferent US government and to raise the question of "to what purpose are we in Iraq?" Body of War unfolds on two parallel tracks. On the one hand, we see Tomas evolving into a powerful voice against the war as he struggles to deal with the complexities of a paralyzed body. And on the other hand, we see the historic debate unfolding in the Congress about going to wa

During Movember (the month formerly known as November) I'll be growin a Mo (slang for Moustache). During Movember (the month formerly known as November) I'll be growin a Mo (slang for Moustache). That's right I'm bringing the Mo back to raise funds for The Prostate Cancer Charity because I'm passionate about men's health and the fight against prostate cancer. Why... Prostate cancer is now the most common cancer diagnosed in men in the U.K. with at least one many dying every hour from the disease. Every year about 35,000 men in the U.K. are diagnosed with prostate cancer and about 10,000 men die from the disease.  One man in 11 will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime in the U.K. To sponsor my Mo (moustache) and fight against prostate cancer please go to http://www. movember .com/uk/donate , enter my registration number which is 83572 and your credit card details. Or you can sponsor me by cheque made payable to "The Prostate Cancer Char
