    SSUSSEUSSExx 1 JJEEwwISIShh nEnEwwSS As readers of SJN already know this is an important year for the Jewish Community but also for the City of Brighton & Hove as, together, we all recognise the first Jewish citizen of Brighton 250 years ago. I am delighted to be able to announce the events that are planned to recognise this momentous year. There is something for everyone, some ticketed some free, so please do get involved. Buy tickets and come along and support the community and the City as we embark on the 250th Anniversary of Judaism in this great City. It has been a pleasure to direct and coordinate the work of so many different people in order to put this programme together and you can see it now on page 7. We are all delighted to be working with the Brighton Fringe (and you must buy tickets through them from today). We also thank the Historical Society for their incredible research work. The opening day on Sunday, May 8th is centred on Middle Street Synagogue whilst the unveiling of the Blue Plaque on July 14th, will be carried out by the Lord Lieutenant.

  • Post-16 LIF Students Cohort Summary
    Post-16 LIF students cohort summary As part of the proposal to consult on discretional home to school/college transport, one of the options is to cease transport for post-16 students from low income families (LIF)1 who are between 16 and 19 years old. This option is mitigated by the proposal to retain up to 25% of the forecast 2015/16 budget spend of £240k to act as a targeted hardship fund. If post-16 transport as it now stands were to be ‘ceased’ for this group, this will be imposed on new starters only in September 2016. As travel support is offered in most cases for 2 years and for some students for 3 years, any changes will not be complete until the third year following implementation (2018/19). The hardship fund allocation would increase in line with demand, as only new starters will be subject to the new regime (so the fund will be the equivalent of 25% of the funding the students will have received in 2014/15, for those no longer receiving this full support from September 2016 – students awarded support prior to this time will continue to receive the same assistance). The ideal would be to use this funding to offer hardship fund support to those who most need it in order to continue their education; however there are a number of options for the nature of this support. Potential savings by Financial Year 2016/17* 2017/18 2018/19 2019/20 Option a £39 ,063 £117,147 £130,729 £130,729 Removal of funding Students from low income families - HTST budget Travel Grants (non-HTST budget) £34,109 £101,818 £112,000 £112,000 25% hardship funds £18,293 £54,741 £60,682 £60,682 Total for Option a minus hardship fund £54,879 £164,224 £182,047 £182,047 Total for Option a £73,172 £218,965 £242,729 £242,729 * adjusted for part-financial year with changes from September 2016 (68% of full year) For the 2016/17 academic year, the identified hardship fund allocation would be approximately half of the figure for the entire cohort, as roughly half of applicants for support from September 2016 will be starting new courses.
