Today I'm enjoying a well deserved day off, having made the most of the gorgeous weather we had, and in less than five weeks, conquered Scotland.
Yesterday a school in Argyle and Bute banned nine-year-old Martha Payne from taking pictures of her school dinners. She had been blogging about her lunches and her posts were cooking up a storm and attracting widespread media attention. She had also managed to raise £2,000 for for Mary's Meals, a charity that provides school meals for children in Africa.
The Department of Health guidance on fair access to care services is titled "prioritizing need in the context of putting people first".
Two days of incubation in a child's body is enough for the virus to do its work. If they are unable to fight it they will end up so severely dehydrated they will have to go to hospital, they could end up on a drip, of several weeks, at which point the child's brain and development will have been so severely affected, and in some cases unfortunate enough to lose their life.
There are an estimated 70,000 school-aged blind children in China - most living in rural areas and villages. The schools which offer special education for VI children are predominantly located in the major cities hundreds or thousands of miles away. A casual visitor to Shanghai, an incredible economic powerhouse of a city, might wonder how such a plight could be possible.
The Queen would have found celebrating the final two days of her Diamond Jubilee without the Duke of Edinburgh at her side "quite testing", according ...
Welcome to Soccer Aid. A remarkable event where celebrities collide - in Myers' case quite literally - with footballing legends in England's grandest club stadium, all with the singular aim of raising money for the world's most disadvantaged children.
If the government turns philanthropy into a selfish rather than selfless act, then the effect of the tax cap could be far greater than anyone is predicting, and that is when charities will really begin to lose out.
Thousands of Somalis have been forced to flee an ongoing military offensive in Afgooye Corridor, Southern Somalia. More than 5,000 people have arrived, many on foot and carrying nothing, into overcrowded Mogadishu. I'm standing in Sigale camp, Mogadishu, and the trickle of people struggling in becomes a torrent. Mothers carrying children and their meagre belongings look shattered and collapse under nearby trees.
I was in rural village in Bondo, western part of Kenya to visit with my parents and relatives. Bondo is one of the poorest areas in Kenya, majority of people depend on subsistence farming and having malaria in that area is 'normal' and have been accepted as a way of life!
Last night was the biggest charity event on the Cannes Calendar and I had bagged one of the most sought after invitations in town. I was off to the amfAR dinner and party. The annual Cinema Against AIDS ball attracts all the A-listers and is a fantastic event for a great cause.
After the First and Second World Wars, over sixty thousand military amputees came home. Three years later, Britain hosted the Olympics, and a small hospital in Buckinghamshire put on the world's first 'Wheelchair Games'. Now in 2012, the future of the British forces in Afghanistan is being decided.
Matthew safely made it to the summit of Everest in the early hours of Saturday morning. He is now back at Base Camp, resting.
There's nothing more surreal than bullet-holes in a village setting. In many ways, with its beaches and lush, green landscapes, Sierra Leone should be an ideal holiday destination. Unfortunately, the brutal civil war of 1991, which only ended 10 years ago, has taken its toll.
Whatever your view on the Olympics, there's no doubt that east London is being transformed. But one landmark you won't find on any investment plans - or even Google Maps for that matter - is Cody Dock, a former gasworks on the River Lea, lying derelict between Canary Wharf and the Olympic Park.
How does one become an ambassador?
I'm now looking forward to getting back to work, fully focused, to work with colleagues in the trade union movement to continue to bring about social justice both in the UK and across the world.
Right now, business has an unprecedented opportunity to "do good," and a lot more good than charities. A controversial statement perhaps, but new research shows I'm not alone in believing businesses are better equipped to create social change than charities.
My day started at 6.30am as I got up to go to the gym, which I do regularly in a normal week, but this was the first time I'd been since I started living on £1 a day.

With record numbers of people turning to food banks to help feed their families and with charities giving out an emergency supply of dried and tinned foods, an important movement in food is showcasing a new and economical way to shop for food.
Unlike many, from an early age I was aware of what rheumatoid arthritis is. My auntie Maureen always struggled with everyday living and it was her daily battle with this incurable disease that inspired me to choose a career in medicine, specialising in rheumatology.
A group made up of rejected auditionees from the massive hit show The Voice, have got together to make a charity single. Today, I took a listen to the finished track and found out more...
