Mike Thomas Pomp Members’ Newsletter May 2006 Dear Primary Club Members We are the parents of Sean Harrington, now aged five. Sean is totally blind, having had both eyes removed in October 2003. At twenty months he was diagnosed with childhood retinal cancer. As well as the heartbreak of his loss, we didn’t know how to encourage him to start moving around. He began wandering around the house, bumping into things. The Sensory Services Department of Kirklees Council advised us to apply for financial help to buy some equipment to channel Sean’s energy. We were delighted to receive £1,500 from The Primary Club. With the money we were able to buy a wonderful climbing frame. As well as helping his mobility and strength, it has been an invaluable ‘friend magnet’, drawing in a lot of the neighbouring children who were unsure how to react to him. We want to say a huge thank you to all the members who enabled us to buy this wonderful piece of equipment which has helped Sean take his first steps on the road to re-adjustment and gaining confidence. Yours sincerely Brian and Victoria Harrington PLEASE BE AS GENEROUS AS POSSIBLE WITH YOUR DONATION THIS YEAR Inside: Andrew Strauss becomes President of the Primary Club Juniors PRIMARY CLUB NEWS APRIL 2006 Primary Club Juniors We need The Primary Club Juniors Club’s quarterly email more reps! have arrived!

This guide is designed to provide you with accurate up-to-date information about your rights and the services you can use if you are a disabled person or you care for a disabled relative or friend. It should also be helpful to those working in services for disabled people and in voluntary organisations.

  • Role of Chairman
    Chairman’s Report 2009/2010 My year as Chairman has passed very quickly. During that time I have attended approaching 300 engagements and most of which my wife Hazel has been with me in a very supportive role as Chairman’s escort. A memorable occasion was my invitation to the annual lunch of the London Mayors’ Association. The current President of the Association is the Lord Mayor of Westminster, Councillor Duncan Sandys. As Cllr Sandys is Winston Churchill’s great grandson, this lunch was held at Chartwell in Sevenoaks District. This was followed by an even more memorable occasion, which was the Annual Civic Service of the London Mayors in Westminster Abbey. I have attended many other church services including the reopening of the Drive Methodist Church, two services at the superb late Saxon “Church in the Woods” at West Kingsdown and the farewell service to Michael Nazir Ali, the Bishop of Rochester. I was grateful for the support during the year of Canon Paul Francis, the vicar of Riverhead and Dunton Green as Chairman’s Chaplain, and was also grateful for the extent to which the local vicar of St Luke’s, Rev Mark Griffin, supports the District Council. There were a number of Christmas carol services. Of these, two of the most memorable were the singing of carols around the wards of Sevenoaks Hospital on Christmas Eve, and the Mencap carol service. That service is a joyful and very happy occasion with everyone joining in with famous carols such as Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer! On a sadder note I represented the Council at memorial services for two past Chairmen, Joyce Thompsett and John Harris OBE MC.

CAF’s top 500 fundraising charities 1999–2000 Cathy Pharoah The millennium bonus for charities? The evidence from this 1999–2000 set of top charity fundraising tables shows that charities may well have received a remarkable millennium bonus. Both the voluntary income and total income of CAF’s top 500 fundraising charities showed impressive real-terms increases, as people marked the end of the century through many special fundraising events and campaigns such as Children’s Promise. If this increase is indeed due to a wave of public sentiment at the turn of the century, it is clear today that the millennium would not be alone in riding a tide of public- spiritedness. Recent events have shown that, in times of disaster or public grief, people turn again and again to philanthropy as a way of expressing their feelings.

  • Please Note : All Recorded Crime Figures Within This Document Have Been Extracted from Our Crime Recording System on 30Th March 2006 and May Be Subject to Change
    Please Note : All recorded crime figures within this document have been extracted from our crime recording system on 30th March 2006 and may be subject to change. The following report relates to recorded crimes for the period of 1st January 2005 to 28th February 2006. The crime recording system used by Kent Police does not have a specific field which enables identification of school premises. The means by which Kent Police has extracted the following data is through the use of specific wording recorded within the 'Modus Operandi (MO) Scene' field. Therefore, this data is based on :- 1) Those crimes that have been reported to Kent Police 2) Those that are defined as crimes and have subsequently been recorded by Kent Police 3) And, where the appropriate wording has been recorded in the 'MO Scene' field. Whilst the 'MO Scene' field records the crime as occurring on school premises, it does not necessarily reflect crimes committed within school hours or involving pupils/teachers. The data will include, for example, crimes to school property that occur overnight i.e. Criminal Damage, Arson and Burglary. It will also include crimes that occur in the vicinity of schools, but not necessarily against school property or within the school i.e. Theft of and from Vehicles and Theft of Pedal Cycles. It is also likely that a proportion of recorded Drug Offences will involve persons not associated with the school, but were committed on school grounds i.e. fields/outbuildings/sheds/garages. Although the crime may have occurred within the vicinity of a school, it may not have been reported by persons associated with the school and therefore, the school may be totally unaware of the crime.

  • Cil) Spending Board Bid for Funding Pro-Forma (Infrastructure Only
    SEVENOAKS DISTRICT COUNCIL: COMMUNITY INFRASTRUCTURE LEVY (CIL) SPENDING BOARD BID FOR FUNDING PRO-FORMA (INFRASTRUCTURE ONLY) Scheme name: Creation of new sports and habitat facilities in Sevenoaks, for schools and the wider community. Description of Scheme: This scheme will see the creation of new playing fields and other sports facilities on the campus occupied by Trinity School , the Weald of Kent Grammar School satellite provision and the Tunbridge Wells Grammar School for Boys satellite provision. It will also substantially augment, modernise and improve the existing sports facilities on the campus. The new sports offer will extend the ability of all three education provisions to provide a wider range of sports for non-selective and Grammar secondary school age students who are resident in Sevenoaks District. The new facilities will also be available to local sports clubs, teams, groups and individuals for hire in the evenings and at weekends, when not used by the schools, with all revenues being used to maintain and refurbish the facilities and any surplus being used for the benefit of extending the education of the students. The scheme will also see the retention of existing natural habitats for a variety of fauna and flora, providing education opportunities for students on the campus. Sporting facilities will also be offered at no-profit or no-cost to blind children through the auspices of the previous owners of the site, the Royal Society for Blind 1 Children (RSBC) . This continues the proud tradition of this part of Sevenoaks providing services for blind children. Background KCC has created an education campus on the old Wilderness site offering six forms of entry (FE) of non-selective education and six forms of selective (Grammar) education.
