JRF has a presence in Hartlepool through its partner organisation – the Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust – at Hartfields, a retirement community with extra care provision. Building on its existing presence, JRF began discussions in 2015 with organisations and people from Hartlepool to better understand the challenges people in the town face. Following these discussions, JRF will host the Hartlepool Action Lab in June 2016. The Action Lab will support a collaborative approach to identifying key challenges important to people who live in Hartlepool and seek to make positive change through collective action. JRF believes that people from Hartlepool have the best solutions to the challenges they face and that other agencies can learn directly from peoples’ lived experience. JRF provided training for members of the local community to learn Participatory Learning and Action techniques (Appendix: 1). These community researchers, used the research techniques to find out about what is important to people who live in Hartlepool. This report presents the findings of the research sessions. The community researchers all of whom live and work in Hartlepool, were asked to participate because of their connection to the town and willingness to take part. This work has only been possible through the commitment and contributions of these community researchers. Researchers gave their time, worked through their networks, and contributed their unique insights to this work. Credit is due to the following people: Ann Callaghan, Hartlepool Borough Council Callum Murphy, The Wharton Trust Gilbert Navonika, Joseph Rowntree Foundation Ian Cawley, The Heart Centre Irene Cross, Hartlepool Borough Council Janet Phillips Jonathan Peter Gibson, Joseph Rowntree Foundation Juli Simons, The Heart Centre Kimberly Weir, Asylum Seekers and Refugees Group Page | 3 Kesavan Sivanesan, Asylum Seekers and Refugees Group Lisa Oldroyd, Hartlepool Borough Council Lorraine Wilson, Asylum Seekers and Refugees Group Malcolm Walker, Joseph Rowntree Foundation Mary Diver, Generic Advocacy Training and Consultancy Service Marnie Hughes, Consultant Michelle Ellett, North Hartlepool Family of Schools / Extended Services in North Hartlepool Nikki Stainsby, The Wharton Trust Peter Robinson, Extended Services in North Hartlepool Paul Hyde, Consultant Peter Gowland, Men’s Shed / Hartlepower Roger Newton, 3Ps Consultancy Sacha Bedding, The Wharton Trust Sarah Lewis, Hart GABLES Stuart Drummond, New Deal for Communities Trust Tara Davison, Hartlepool Borough Council Teresa Driver, The Wharton Trust Tracy Rowe, Hartlepool Borough Council “I thought it was a positive sight to see so many representatives from organisations across the town of Hartlepool keen to participate in the community research.” Community researcher "The community researchers are a rare group of people. All are very passionate about their town with much loyalty, affection and a lovely brand of local humour. They really wanted to 'dig a bit deeper' in this research, and could do this because they are trusted local experts. They gave access to groups of people whose voices are rarely heard and skilfully guided conversations into some difficult topic areas. I think that the result is uniquely powerful and offers a fascinating insight into the thoughts of the people of the town." Facilitator Community researchers’ comments and reflections on research findings have been included throughout this report. While this opportunity was offered to all community researchers, not all wanted to make comments. Page | 4 “The experience from going out and doing the questionnaires and speaking to people and being involved with the workshop has been a huge benefit to me. It has enabled me to get a job as a community organiser at the annexe. Going to speak to the homeless people was a massive eye opener to some of the things that I previously was oblivious to, and helped me see some of the struggles we don’t see in everyday life. I would just like to thank you for giving me the opportunity to do this.” Community researcher Page | 5 Methodology Our research questions were simple and open-ended. By asking broad questions, discussions were tailored to issues that were most important to the people researchers talked to. Starting points for discussions were: What are the best things about Hartlepool? What are the worst things about Hartlepool? What would be your ideas to improve Hartlepool? “The findings of this report provide a fascinating insight into people’s true perception of what they believe to be the positives and negatives of living in Hartlepool. This particular research basically asked; what do you think of Hartlepool?” Community researcher “The report highlights that within the population we collectively listened to there are a significant number of contradictions and it is clear people have different experiences of living in Hartlepool, depending upon their own circumstances. Whilst making it quite difficult to draw very strong conclusions it is still a good start.” Community researcher Page | 6 Sample size and composition In total, our researchers received 1,479 comments from 400 people. Types of comments made by respondents 586 477 401 Positive Negative Ideas Ages of people who made comments (not all ages were recorded) 205 133 126 120 95 104 73 79 0 to 9 10 to 19 20 to 29 30 to 39 40 to 49 50 to 59 60 to 69 70 to 89 Gender of people who made comments (not all were recorded) 719 390 Male Female 810 Ethnicities of people who made comments 585 40 1 5 32 6 White Pakistani Eastern European Chinese Bangladeshi Asian Not recorded “Overall eliciting the opinions of those who took part was not difficult. People were for the most part only too happy to comment.” Community researcher Page | 7 The majority of research sessions were conducted in community centres and places where community or voluntary services are usually provided. Research sessions were conducted between March and May 2016. The rationale for this was to talk to people in safe, trusted places where conversations could be had openly without disruption. Community researchers attended 27 research sessions, including at the following: Extended Services in North Hartlepool Children’s Group St Mark’s Drop-in Café One77 Hart Gables Grange Road Friendship Club Wharton Trust Youth Club The Artrium Stranton Seniors Rossmere Youth Club Asylum Seekers and Refugee Group Drop-in Blind Welfare Central Correctors Hartfields Lynnfield Ladies Group The Heart Centre 50+ Forum St Joseph’s Parish Hall Homeless Group Burbank Café Drop-in Salaam Centre (Women’s Group, age 30 and above; and Men’s Group) North East Athletic Group in Hartlepool “Using a new ‘active research’ tool, that explored the root causes of issues, helped to construct a new type of conversation. The research I was involved in was with people recovering from, or managing their mental ill health. The active research approach helped the conversation go beyond the usual ‘user led design of services’ and dig a bit deeper, looking at what lay below the main issues and what the solutions might be.” Community researcher Page | 8 A wide range of issues and ideas were expressed during research sessions. The community research team grouped comments into clear themes, shown in the contents page. Comments were summarised and included under theme headings, although speech marks reflect a direct quotation. The themes are not presented in order of importance or priority; however, comments within themes that appeared most frequently are mentioned first. The findings of the report are representative of the issues that were most important to the people community researchers talked to. Further community research may be undertaken to investigate specific issues or themes in more depth following the Hartlepool Action Lab. To make the report accessible to readers without knowledge of Hartlepool, explanations of colloquial references have been provided in brackets. “I found in doing the research that most people were very keen to join in. I think it could have been better if we never went to older people's lunch clubs because I felt like I was interrupting. As a young person I felt nervous when doing some research with other young people - I felt a bit 'daft' asking people near my age and felt much more comfortable with older people.” Community researcher Positive comments that stood out were: the cleanliness of the air (something that as a long-term resident I take for granted), with added comments that people suffered much less with breathing problems since moving to the area” Community researcher Page | 9 Some key facts about Hartlepool Population Hartlepool is a unitary authority in County Durham with a population of 92,600, of which 48% are male and 52% are female. The size of the population of Hartlepool is projected to increase by 2.1% by 2024, by which time 21.7% of the population will be over 65 years. 97.6% of people in Hartlepool are white or mixed-white. Employment, commuting and the local economy For every 100 working-age persons living in Hartlepool, the local economy provides 58 jobs. 9.4% of the working age population is unemployed, higher than regional (7.2%) and national (5.2%) averages.

Canon Janet Burbury, The Vicarage , Hart, Hartlepool, TS27 3AP [email protected] Tel 01429 262340 Mob 07958 131271 Dear Friends Our churches are setting their 2019 budgets and deciding how much to offer the central funds which pay for all our legal structures, training, vicarages, stipends, church schools, safeguarding training and so on. Elwick and Hart try hard to raise our giving each year whilst bearing in mind the cost of maintaining our buildings, insurance, heating, resources, office equipment etc. Can we make money and our human economy sacred? Money can be the enemy of our better instincts blocking our generosity as we listen to that internal voice, “I can’t afford to”. Money is never a popular subject. Greed for it makes humanity raid the earth’s resources with too few courses of action to secure its sustainability and when politicians seek money rather than public good we call them worse than dirt. It’s been said that we cannot serve both God and Mammon. I know money do wonders to help society but on balance we more often than not feel those plastic looking folding notes are the root of many evils. Perhaps the biggest problem of money is the way we’ve come to see the physical aspects of life as separate from the sacred and holy. Once people decided that their folklore gods left their for- ests to live in the skies we started to think God is up there out of our world sitting on the clouds out of reach to us below.

  • Newsletter Oct-Nov 2012
    Newsletter 1 of St. George’s URC Hartlepool OctOct–––– Nov 2012 Dear Friends, During my childhood there was a calendar hanging in our dining-room which was a picture of ‘the Boston Stump’. I always wondered where and what it was, but did not find out until last weekend. Well, they say that it is never too late to learn something! The Church of St. Botolph, Boston in Lincolnshire, affectionately known as ‘the Stump’ perhaps because it has the appearance of a tall tree with its branches lopped for felling, is the largest building in England that has always been a parish church. It is actually bigger than some cathedrals I have seen, standing about 250 feet high and 340 feet long. The building of the present church is believed to have begun in 1309, replacing an earlier Norman church, but the earliest church was founded in the seventh century by an Anglo- Saxon missionary monk called Botolph. The town was originally called Botolph’s Stone, which got shortened to Boston. When the church was first planned, Boston possessed a port that did more business than anywhere in England except London, and wool was the main export. Boston stands on ‘the Grand Sluice’, where fenland drains converge into The Haven, a tidal river that empties into the Wash. Mer- chants from all over Europe went to Boston in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries for the Great Fair which began on St. Botolph’s Day, 17 June, when they bought wool and cloth and sold their wines and furs. Sadly, by the time that the building was finished, the great days of Boston’s commercial prosperity had passed, but then Boston be- came a religious centre.

  • Fishmonger 1911
    Fishmonger 1911 This group, with 21 household in the 1911 census, is descended from Elizabeth Kipling, via her sons Lionel and James. Elizabeth was most likely the daughter of Joseph and Mary Kipling (see “Staindrop 1911”). Lionel and some of his descendants were fishmongers in Bishop Auckland in the 19th century. James and his family were shipbuilders, moving to West Hartlepool, Whitby and, in the 20th century, to Birkenhead.

  • Northeast England – a History of Flash Flooding
    Northeast England – A history of flash flooding Introduction The main outcome of this review is a description of the extent of flooding during the major flash floods that have occurred over the period from the mid seventeenth century mainly from intense rainfall (many major storms with high totals but prolonged rainfall or thaw of melting snow have been omitted). This is presented as a flood chronicle with a summary description of each event. Sources of Information Descriptive information is contained in newspaper reports, diaries and further back in time, from Quarter Sessions bridge accounts and ecclesiastical records. The initial source for this study has been from Land of Singing Waters –Rivers and Great floods of Northumbria by the author of this chronology. This is supplemented by material from a card index set up during the research for Land of Singing Waters but which was not used in the book. The information in this book has in turn been taken from a variety of sources including newspaper accounts. A further search through newspaper records has been carried out using the British Newspaper Archive. This is a searchable archive with respect to key words where all occurrences of these words can be viewed. The search can be restricted by newspaper, by county, by region or for the whole of the UK. The search can also be restricted by decade, year and month. The full newspaper archive for northeast England has been searched year by year for occurrences of the words ‘flood’ and ‘thunder’. It was considered that occurrences of these words would identify any floods which might result from heavy rainfall.
