Many thanks for your application form with additional information. There are a number of easy ways in which you could enhance the presentation of your application form. In the first instance it is recommended that you use the electronic form over the hardcopy. This will give you all the space you need to describe your projects clearly and succinctly. The second point is to do with your additional information. The adjudicator welcomes the use of photos but these should be limited in number and be specifically related to projects undertaken. It is best to leave long descriptions out in favour brief captions which refer back to the application form. If presenting before and after photographs one of each is quite sufficient. Your additional information was tied together rather loosely in four different collections and this presented the adjudicator with a rather unwieldy volume of material. You could use a small ring binder or, better still, insert the photos digitally into the application form, thereby eliminating the need for loose pages.

  • Quaker Charity During Black '47
    Quaker Charity During Black '47 Ireland’s annual potato harvest takes place in late August to early September. The infamous potato blight first appeared in 1845 causing a partial failure of the crop. There was no major loss of life that year. The majority of the population had been reduced to living on as small as a quarter of an acre of land, and the potato was their only sustenance. They knew what to do for there had been several periods of food shortages previously in the century. The strategy was to pawn all possessions and use the money to help their families survive until the next harvest. The highly anticipated next crop of 1846 was a total failure. The Irish were then faced with the horror of inescapable starvation. One of the religious tenets of the Society of Friends, or Quakers, is the performance of humanitarian deeds for the greater good. Once the situation became obviously harrowing, Dublin Irish Quakers led by Joseph Bewley and Jonathan Pim established the Central Relief Committee (hereafter CRC) to organize and disseminate the donations that began to pour in. They had no idea of the magnitude or duration of the calamity before them. The CRC worked closely in concert with London based Quakers and the Quakers of the General Relief Committee (hereafter GRC) in New York City, several of whom were blood relatives. The first full year of operation of the CRC was 1847, often referred to as Black ’47. Early on the overwhelming volume of mail caused them to move their headquarters from 57 William Street to a larger venue at 43 Fleet Street.
