This is a UK based charity that runs and funds a women and children’s village in rural Bangladesh. The Sreepur Village works with mothers (without male support) and their children to increase their chances of remaining a family, by taking a holistic, residential approach including livelihood and literacy training. The core belief is that poverty should not separate children from their family. The Sreepur Village infuses hope in the mothers and children through providing the skills and tools for ‘a better life’. The project provides a huge range of services including safety, shelter, food and nutrition, adult literacy and education, comprehensive health care, livelihood and life skill training, child safeguarding and protection and social re. As a grass roots organisation they respond to local need and run other related programmes such as supporting vulnerable (e.g. trafficked or abandoned) children and fostering thus providing safety, a loving environment, food, clothing, education, and livelihood training so that the women can look forward to independent lives in their communities. The project provides a refuge for mothers and children for a maximum of three years. During this period, mothers learn 2-3 income generating skills, life skills, adult literacy, etc, and their children go to pre-primary and primary school level within the Village and older boys and girls go to local schools at class 4-5 levels. The Sreepur Village in Numbers - In 2018 the Charity • Were able to provide a home to 160 mothers and 350 children. • Sent 212 children to school (162 attended the SPP school and 50 attended school outside of the project). • 5 children were placed with foster families this year. • Rehabilitated 64 mothers and their 128 children back into the community. Thirty years ago, Pat Kerr laid the foundations of The Sreepur Village and over these 30 remarkable years, has, with the continued support of our donors, helped to empower the lives of thousands of women, keeping more families together and giving them hope for a brighter future. The scale of the need is enormous but there is a sense that whatever we are able to give will make a very significant difference. www.sreepurvillage.org A Prayer For Late Autumn Walk with us God, Through sharp frosty days And bright crunchy leaves Into winter. Rest with us By warm firesides And tell us stories Into the night. Take us out at night And show us the stars And fill us With wonder.

Together, we will welcome Rory Castle Jones, who begins his training for the Unitarian and Free Christian ministry this September under the auspices of the newly-instituted Unitarian College. Rory will spend six extended weekends with me from October this year through April of next year, observing my own ministry, taking part in and leading Sunday worship, conducting pastoral visits alongside me and assisting with rites of passage (baptisms, weddings and funerals), and reflecting with me on the many facets of professional ministry. He will be assesed by external tutors on the occasions when he conducts worship, so that I am able to guide him without being part of the assessment process. Rory’s first Sunday with us will be to celebrate our Harvest Festival, on 6 October. He will join us for our special luncheon in the Dean Row Chapel hall, when he will have an opportunity to meet members of the two congregations socially. Rory was asked to provide his own introduction, which I share with you: “Hello! My name is Rory Castle Jones. I am a 32-year-old Welsh Unitarian from a small village called Craig Cefn Parc in the Swansea Valley. I grew up in Derbyshire and Somerset in an English-Welsh family and have lived in the Swansea area since I was eighteen. I studied history at university and worked in Higher Education until October 2018, when I was appointed Communications Officer for the General Assembly of Unitarian and Free Christian Churches. In September 2019, I officially begin my ministry training with the Unitarian College. Outside of Unitarianism, I spend time reading, walking, tackling a very overgrown garden, learning Welsh, and spending as much time as possible with my three nephews: Jimmy (4), Xavier (2) and Arlo (2 months). I became a Unitarian in 2016, having found Gellionnen Chapel when my husband, Rhys, and I were looking for a chapel to get married in. As for many people, discovering Unitarianism felt like coming home. I consider myself a liberal Christian, whilst also drawing on other religious and secular traditions for wisdom and inspiration. I have already had the pleasure of visiting Dean Row Chapel once, but I do have another connection. During the Second World War, my grandfather was evacuated from Liverpool to live with his older sister, in Dean Row! He has many happy memories of his time there. I look forward very much to my student placement at Hale and Dean Row Chapels, and to getting to know you all. Thank you in advance for giving me this wonderful opportunity!” I am confident that both congregations and I will benefit from hosting Rory in the course of his placement with us, as we are required to reflect on our own shared ministry, and as we find ourselves involved in the activity of preparing him for service in our denomination. My own student placements were extremely formative in my preparation for ministry, and I am keen to offer Rory a variety of experiences that will inform his own future. JEFF Autumn Fires by Robert Louis Stevenson In the other gardens and all up the vale, From the Autumn bonfires see the smoke trail! Pleasant summer over and all the summer flowers, The red fire blazes, the grey smoke towers. Sing a song of seasons! Something bright in all! Fires in the summer, fires in the fall! DEAN ROW Dean Row Chairman’s Letter - Chrissie Wilkie First of all, sorry for saying that we were going to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the Chapel Hall in the last Newsletter. Of course it is the 25th Anniversary, and if you do not already know, the big day will be the 8th September. We hope that the word has spread and we shall be visited by past members of the Family Group to help us to celebrate. There have been so many families over the years and of course it is sad that we no longer have children in our congregation. That is except for the lovely grandchildren who visit us from time to time. I expect that some of our children might even now be parents and it would be such a joy if they could come along with their offspring. We do have our new curtain rails, so we are no longer in danger of being hit on the head. I do hope that you have noticed our new chairs in the Hall porch. I think that people are finding them attractive and they have been purchased because some people who are very disabled find it very difficult to rise from our usual chairs. Please be mindful of this when you come into the hall and ask if you need one. As many of you know, my big son is a jeweller and pawnbroker. He was telling me about one of his customers who came into the shop, hoping to sell some old bits of jewellery.

The focus on the current work is changing according to the situation, as protecting t he autonomy and integrity of journalism, strenthening solidariy among members, material interests, proper conditons for prefessional development…. In 2004, the main objective was to negotiate the amendments to the collective agreement and that the employers were prepared to accept that( just to start negotiate), the general strike was required. Recently we intend to protect the journalists ' copyright, so we have set up an association. The situation is forcing us to look for new forms of social security , one of them may be cooperatives. Born in Ljubljana, capital of Slovenia, I finished secondary school and studied journalism and sociology. As a student I participated in various media (student radio, fashion magazines) and in the Institute for public o pinion. I started to work as proofreader in a daily newspaper, became its local correspondent and was fond of making photo reportages.

  • The Manchester Observer: Biography of a Radical Newspaper
    i i i i The Manchester Observer: Biography of a Radical Newspaper ROBERT POOLE, UNIVERSITY OF CENTRAL LANCASHIRE Abstract The newly digitised Manchester Observer (1818–22) was England’s leading rad- ical newspaper at the time of the Peterloo meeting of August 1819, in which it played a central role. For a time it enjoyed the highest circulation of any provincial newspaper, holding a position comparable to that of the Chartist Northern Star twenty years later and pioneering dual publication in Manchester and London. Its columns provide insights into Manchester’s notoriously secretive local government and policing and into the labour and radical movements of its turbulent times. Rich materials in the Home Oce papers in the National Archives reveal much about the relationship between radicals in London and in the provinces, and show how local magistrates conspired with government to hound the radical press in the north as prosecutions in London ran into trouble. This article also sheds new light on the founding of the Manchester Guardian, which endured as the Observer’s successor more by avoiding its disasters than by following its example. Despite the imprisonment of four of its main editors and proprietors the Manchester Observer battled on for ve years before sinking in calmer water for lack of news. Keywords: Peterloo; press; newspapers; radicalism; Manchester; Guardian London has been called the strong hold of the liberty of the press; but Manchester is assuredly the centre and strong hold of the Parliamentary Reformers. (Manchester Observer, 1 September 1821) Early in 2017 the John Rylands Library accepted into its collections two bound volumes: the only complete set of the Manchester Observer (1818–22), the radical predecessor of the more famous Manchester Guardian.

    Downloaded from http://pygs.lyellcollection.org/ at University of St Andrews on May 5, 2015 234 3n ^emorlam. THOMAS HICK, B.A., B.SC. (LOND.), A.L.S. Born May 5th, 1840; Died July 31st, 1896. Only a few months ago we chronicled the decease of a great Yorkshire Pala3obotanist; to-day, alas ! we deplore the death of another distinguished Botanist and Honorary Member of our Society through the death of Thomas Hick, B.A., B.Sc, A.L.S., who finished his course at the residence of his eldest son, Dr. Herbert Hick, at Laisterdyke, on the 31st of July last. In early life our friend lost, through a severe accident, several fingers of his right hand. His indomitable spirit, however, struggled against his adverse surroundings, how successfully only those who have seen him, with deft skill, cutting beautiful sections of plants and stems by hand, can judge. Possibly this accident turned his atten• tion from mechanical to literary and scientific pursuits, and, as often happens in life, what at first appeared an unqualified misfortune turned out a boon. Educated at The Royal Lancaster School, Leeds, Thomas Hick rose from the position of Scholar to the post of Master, and by private and strenuous study graduated in the first division as Bachelor of Arts and Science at the London University. At this time he was much engaged, teaching Mathematics, Botany, and Biology to the Science Students at Mechanics' Institutes at Leeds, Bradford, and elsewhere. In 1876, a Science Master was wanted at Pannal College, Harro• gate. The post was applied for, obtained, and held, with growing respect from the Principal and with the warm affection of the pupils, until 1886, when be was appointed Assistant Lecturer and Demon• strator in Botany at Owens College, Manchester.

  • Musical Networks in Early Victorian Manchester R M Johnson Phd 2020
    Musical Networks in Early Victorian Manchester R M Johnson PhD 2020 Musical Networks in Early Victorian Manchester RACHEL MARGARET JOHNSON A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Manchester Metropolitan University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Awarded for a Collaborative Programme of Research at the Royal Northern College of Music by Manchester Metropolitan University 2020 Abstract My dissertation demonstrates how a new and distinctive musical culture developed in the industrialising society of early Victorian Manchester. It challenges a number of existing narratives relating to the history of music in nineteenth-century Britain, and has implications for the way we understand the place of music in other industrial societies and cities. The project is located at the nexus between musicology, cultural history and social history, and draws upon ideas current in urban studies, ethnomusicology and anthropology. Contrary to the oft-repeated claim that it was Charles Hallé who ‘brought music to Manchester’ when he arrived in 1848, my archival research reveals a vast quantity and variety of music-making and consumption in Manchester in the 1830s and 1840s. The interconnectedness of the many strands of this musical culture is inescapable, and it results in my adoption of ‘networks’ as an organising principle. Tracing how the networks were formed, developed and intertwined reveals just how embedded music was in the region’s social and civic life. Ultimately, music emerges as an agent of particular power in the negotiation and transformation of the concerns inherent within the new industrial city. The dissertation is structured as a series of interconnected case studies, exploring areas as diverse as the music profession, glee and catch clubs, the Hargreaves Choral Society’s programme notes, Mechanics’ Institutions and the early Victorian public music lecture.

  • All My Life Till I Left Home, I Was Called a Dirty Dago, a Greasy Greek
    THE GUARDIAN Saturday February 15 1986 George Coulouris was born in Salford in 1903. But he recovered sufficiently to become a distinguished actor, first appearing on the stage in Rusholme, in Manchester in 1926, and same year playing in Outward Bound at the Old Vic. He spent twenty years in the United States, was nominated for an Oscar, appeared in Citizen Kane; he arrived with only $250 in his pocket, and ended up dining with President Roosevelt.
