Ramblings from the folk at ICON!

A new website on behalf of the Gloucestershire Parent Partnership Service (GPPS) now live at www.glospps.org.uk is designed to act as a valuable new resource for both parents and carers of children with special educational needs.

GPPS is an ʻarms lengthʼ organisation under the aegis of Gloucestershire County Council and offers free, confidential and impartial guidance, support and information to local parents and carers to enable them to make informed decisions.

The website has been designed and built by ICON.net Limited and uses their new OTPS v5.0 content management system which is also a feature of several other new websites currently under construction and anticipated to go live later this month.

ICON has an association with Gloucestershire County Council and Gloucester City Council going back several years, during which time both design and print as well as web projects have been successfully implemented.

Maggie’s cancer caring centres are the realisation of Maggie Keswick Jencks’ dream to offer people affected by cancer free access to information and counselling. There are already six centres around the UK and the new Maggie’s Cotswolds centre is scheduled to be open by summer 2010 in a building close to Cheltenham’s Oncology Centre.

This is the first promotional piece we’ve designed for Maggie’s Cotswolds and a follow up newsletter is also now planned.
