Arterne CIC are committed to changing the conversation and culture within communities when alcohol is being consumed.

Our ‘Cans that count’ campaign is continuing throughout 2026 with the support of University of Plymouth and will focus on tackling the conversations about mental and physical health

Let us reintroduce ‘Meridian Glow’ and ‘Ebullience’ thanking our sponsors a Easy Cars Plymouth Plymouth Boat Trips The College of Auricular Acupuncture Arterne Care Limited Arterne 2 Nurse Limited The L O V E Leadership Academy Portcullis Legals Kaya Gallery A Star Access Ltd

Our sponsors have helped Arterne CIC to work in collaboration with Steel Brew to develop products for people to enjoy and share but also promote a meaningful message about alcohol and health

More information is coming to communities and in the meantime if you want to sample our products please get in touch as we’re currently offering our cans in an exchange for a donation

⚠️ Be meningitis aware Plymouth!
You might have seen the news about the meningitis outbreak in Kent, where two people have sadly died. While there are no new cases in Plymouth, it’s important to know the signs and act fast if you’re worried.
Meningitis is rare but very serious. It can come on suddenly and lead to sepsis, so spotting symptoms early and getting urgent medical help saves lives.

Know the symptoms!
These may not all appear, but seek help immediately if you notice:
• ❗ A rash that doesn’t fade when you press a glass on it
• 🌡️ High fever that comes on suddenly
• 🤕 Severe, worsening headache
• 😣 Stiff neck
• 🤢 Vomiting or diarrhoea
• 😴 Extreme sleepiness or difficulty waking someone

What to do
🚑 If you’re concerned or suspect meningitis:
➡️ Go to A&E immediately or call 999 — early treatment is lifesaving.
📞 Not sure about symptoms? Call NHS 111 for advice.

Vaccination
If you’re under 25 and haven’t had the MenACWY vaccine, contact your GP. It’s free and protects against several common causes of meningitis.

We love community radio stations and we’re super happy that Apple FM Taunton has successfully found a new base from which to continue their community broadcasting 💜

The move from Musgrove Park Hospital to The Castle at Taunton has come after 55 years of the station broadcasting from the hospital site and BBC Somerset reported its as a result of ‘increasing NHS pressures’

The new location gives new opportunities in the evolution of community broadcasting as the connections within communities expand in favour of widening audiences whilst maintaining links with local people and businesses

Arterne CIC has supported the notion of community radio and has shown support in Plymouth for Ocean City Radio Community Interest Company Hospital Radio Plymouth Ferndale Community Radio

Times are changing for everyone and community radio stations play a vital role in keeping people connected, reducing loneliness and promoting mental health through music

The radio station is asked to move out the hospital it is based in due to "increasing NHS demand".

Food security is something that Arterne CIC has felt passionate about since the beginning and we’ve enjoyed working in partnership within communities to influence it

Operation Snow (established 2014) by Arterne CIC founder, Cindy Willcocks, focused on Christmas time initially and then created Operation Snow soon after supported by the generosity of communities

Cindy has also gone on to become one of The Bridge Plymouth Directors which promotes food security for those organisations and services providing food to others

With all this in mind, Arterne CIC have reviewed our mission and we’ve created the ‘Blue Light ShOP’ aimed at workers within education, health and social care who are on minimum wage struggling to feed themselves and their families

We’ve been piloting the project with Arterne Group Business employees for around 6 weeks now and due to the success we wanted to make it more widely available in communities

If this is something that interests you or you feel you could benefit from it please comment below and follow our page for updates

💜 Hunger is not a food shortage problem
💜 Rebuilding food independence takes time
💜 Food security is important for all people
