Our key achievements over the past year included: • Strengthening of our User Involvement Group, leading to a much greater involvement of people with learning disabilities throughout the organisation • Restructuring of projects and the creation of a new Senior Management Team, resulting in improved service quality, greater efficiency and financial savings • Substantial investment in HR support for staff and volunteers, following the Don Eungblut Chair award of £42,000 from Beds, Herts and Luton workforce development brokerage • Greater financial stability gained from the renegotiation of funding contracts for our residential homes and children’s services, plus a range of high profile fundraising events • A large investment in residential property renovation, and IT. Over the following 12 calendar pages you will be able to read month by month about the impact that these changes and achievements have on the lives of people who receive support from, or use the services of Watford Mencap, as well as hearing about the people who work or volunteer for Watford Mencap. We should like to thank those companies who have sponsored pages and thus enabled us to produce this report.

The organisation was established in response to the National Advisory Committee on Creative and Cultural Education (NACCCE, 1999), which offered an account of creativity as a means to foster individual self-reliance and social unity. This thesis explores how the NACCCE‟s construction of creativity enabled New Labour to appear to endorse the value of the arts in education whilst promoting the model of the self as an autonomous economic unit, and considers how Creative Partnerships was paradoxically welcomed by supporters of the arts in education who were displeased with the instrumentalism at work in much of New Labour‟s education policy.

The document said it was safer to have local acute services on a single hospital site and that these services were currently spread too thinly. The trust therefore proposed to consolidate emergency care on one hospital site and provide most planned surgery on another hospital site as an interim measure until a new planned surgicentre was opened at Hemel Hempstead in 2008.
