Best sreet
Residents and businesses of West Street, Fareham, are coming together for a street party to celebrate the Rainbow Centre's 18th birthday and raise funds for the charity.
Everyone is invited to the birthday bash tomorrow, which will see people come out to play in aid of the charity that helps children with motor impairment conditions such as cerebral palsy.
The Rainbow VLive festival – the 'V' is for volunteers – will also be highlighting green issues and businesses will have the opportunity to get involved in recycling to make cash for the charity.
Dove Recycling, in Titchfield Lane, Wickham, will be donating £20 from every ton of paper to the cause. The street party will run from 10am to 4pm from the Brass Monkey to Woolworths.
There will be DJs from Ocean FM, local bands performing and even a Narnia set donated by the Apollo Theatre for children.

Best business
Determined fund-raisers took the leap of faith and abseiled 20 metres from a building for Homeless International.
Employees from Portsmouth Housing Association decided to do the abseil from their own building to support homeless people in the developing world.
The 16 staff and four friends braced themselves for the good cause, which supports slum communities in Africa and Asia.
Goizeder Cotano, PHA's community development manager, organised the event and group employees sponsored the abseilers.

Best neighbour
Florence Lehmann decided to hold a street party to help rekindle some old-fashioned neighbourhood spirit.
She decided to try to improve neighbourhood spirit after becoming frustrated at getting to know only a handful of other people living in Highland Street, Southsea.
Florence grew up in a French village where festivals are held so that people can relax and party with friends and neighbours and wanted to do the same on her street.
With the idea of doing the same here, she sent out letters to the 35 houses in her street asking if people would like a party.
Receiving positive responses, the French teacher set to work and paid the £70 fee required for insurance for the day
The street was closed to traffic and everyone brought out garden furniture and shared food and drink with neighbours they might not have spoken to before.
The move was given support by the police who say getting to know your neighbours helps to make you feel more secure in the knowledge you have people nearby to turn to if you need help.
Portsmouth Housing Association has been heavily involved in fund-raising for Homeless International for many years and hopes to have raised £1,000 from the event.
The employees of the organisation, which is part of the First Wessex Housing Group, have taken part in fund-raising treks for Homeless International since they started in 2000 and have raised more than £20,000.

Spirit of youth
A brave Gosport youngster who helped care for her dying father has been hailed as the town's young citizen of the year for her altruistic acts.
Eighteen-year-old Lydia Parsonage was nominated for the award by a friend who thought she deserved recognition for caring for her father, who suffered with Alzheimers and died when she was just 14. But Lydia never questioned her role as carer, and although the youngest of her siblings, took it upon herself to look after her dad, Tom, and also her brother Ryan who was born with a rare heart condition.
From a young age Lydia, of Gregson Avenue, Bridgemary, Gosport, would help her mum Lynda look after her dad, running errands, feeding him or helping with his medication.
And she has stayed strong, and is currently studying for an NVQ in Health and Social Care at St Vincent College, Gosport.
Lydia was given the award, that highlights under-18s who have demonstrated a caring attitude to the disadvantaged, at the Gosport mayor-making ceremony held at the Thorngate Halls in May.

Service with a smile
For bubbly barmaid Lisa Hale, nothing is too much trouble for her customers.
Lisa, 41, who has worked at the Royal Antediluvian Order of Buffaloes (RAOB) club for almost five years, cooks her customers' dinners, takes in fruit for their drinks and even buys them cards on their birthdays.
The single mother-of-four just loves helping others and even has cancelled holidays to work behind the bar in Portsmouth, but feels it is all in a day's work.
And it doesn't stop there – Lisa also ran the Race for Life this year in memory of customers who had died from cancer. Lisa, of Aylesbury Road, Copnor, was nominated for a We Can Do It T-shirt by Sheila Collins, whose partner works at the RAOB club too.

Best volunteer
BASICS volunteers Lynne Caine and Jenny Vincent have been working tirelessly over the years to raise vital funds to help voluntary doctors save lives.
Over the past four years the dynamic duo have clocked up more than £100,000 for the voluntary medical organisation through collecting clothes, books, bric a brac and anything else they can sell in their charity shop.
But it doesn't stop there. The kind-hearted women also give talks to U3A meetings, church groups and Women's Institutes on the work that the Hampshire BASICS doctors do.
Lynne, 62, of Bryony Way, Waterlooville has been a BASICS volunteer for more than 18 years and was nominated for a We Can Do It T-shirt by Jenny. Jenny, 61, of Somborne Drive, Leigh Park, was nominated as Britain's Most Inspiring Fundraiser by Lynne as part of a national award run by charity search engine Everyclick.com.
Lynne and Jenny spend more than 20 hours each a week collecting for the charity shop – open on July 21 at the Coach House in The Pallant, Havant.

Best school
Talented drama pupils have raised more than £600 for Naomi House Hospice, after selling out their recent school production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.
More than 500 people came to the production at St John's College in Southsea, in aid of the children's hospice which provides respite care, terminal care and bereavement support for children and families from across the south of England.
About 90 students from year six through to sixth form took part in the production, which sold out its three-night run.
The £600 was raised through ticket sales as well as a grand auction of key props after the final show had ended.
It costs Naomi House more than £2.5m a year to fund the hospice and 90 per cent of the funding is dependent upon voluntary and charitable support.

Best garden
Frank and Beryl Jacob spend lots of time in their prize-winning exotic garden at 60 Lealand Road, Drayton, ensuring it is always looking its best.
Their garden, which has roses, yuccas and cacti, has helped raise about £8,000 for charity in the past decade by having open garden days and welcoming visitors.
Frank, 76, began creating the 50ft x 33ft urban garden in 1969 and it features curved paths, lawn, fish ponds and water features, includes a collection of bamboos and grasses, plus cacti and a superb bird of paradise plant, raised from seed, in the greenhouse.
He and wife Beryl have been opening the garden for charity since 1990 and it has been featured in Gardener's World and Amateur Gardening magazines.
And the couple are counting the cash for charity after their latest gardening opening to the public on June 10.
All money raised went to the National Garden Scheme, which shares the money out among several charities.
The next open day is August 19 (1pm-5.30pm). Visitors also welcome by appointment only.

Care of the environment
Friendly bobbies swapped their truncheons for spades in a bid to clear up local neighbourhoods they regularly patrol.
The Safer Neighbourhoods team for Milton offered to lend a hand at Kingsley Court when they noticed repeated damage to residents properties.
The team became concerned that the vandalism had put residents off coming outside so decided to help put some pride back into their area.
The officers got £500 worth of materials, plants and soils from B&Q to help transform the gardens in a bid to get the residents out and about again.
Local resident Janet Gillard of Kingsley Road took charge delegating tasks to the officers and neighbours who spent between 10am - 3pm digging, planting, clearing and tidying the gardens and communal area.
Neighbours, officers and even Milton ward councillors got their hands dirty over the two-day clean-up operation on May 30 and 31.

Art/sport/community project
A local community charity in the heart of Portsmouth has been recognised by the Queen for its exceptional voluntary service.
Reaching out to homeless, elderly and anyone that needs a helping hand The Haven Community Project has been given the royal thumbs-up for improving the lives of others in the local area.
Schemes include a Furniture Project for homeless families, Good Neighbours – keeping in contact with the elderly through visits and phone calls – and a full-time nursery which is in the building.
Portsmouth City Council nominated the Salvation Army Haven Community Project for The Queen's Award and they received it on July 7.
The charity received a certificate signed by The Queen and a commemorative crystal for display in the centre.
