About Maggie’s Who we are For 25 years Maggie’s has been offering critical practical and emotional support for free to people with cancer and their families. Anyone can come in at any time and get the support they need in beautiful buildings right beside the hospital. Each centre sees around 100 people a day, and our support has been proven to work. That means that people with cancer and their families can start to find a way to cope after a diagnosis. We help them take back control when cancer turns their life upside down, by providing expert support for anything from treatment side effects to money worries. Maggie’s Story Every Maggie’s follows a blueprint for cancer care as originally laid out by Maggie Keswick Jencks. Maggie lived with advanced cancer for two years and was determined that she would not “lose the joy of living in the fear of dying”. In order to live more positively with cancer, Maggie believed people needed information, stress-reducing strategies, psychological support and the opportunity to meet other people in similar circumstances in a relaxed and beautiful setting. Each Maggie’s is individually designed to feel like a home and all have a kitchen table at their heart. The very first Maggie’s opened in Edinburgh in 1996 and there are now 23 centres in the UK and 3 overseas. Maggie’s Carols in the Kitchen About Maggie’s What we do Our team of expert staff are here to help with anything from managing anxiety to talking to young children about cancer or coping when someone you love dies. You can meet and talk to other people in similar circumstances or join one of our many support groups. During the pandemic, we’ve been here for people on the phone and moved many of our courses online. We supported people with cancer nearly 70,000 times during lockdown. But we know how important face-to-face support is and so we’ve made sure our centres can stay open safely following all guidelines. For more information about Maggie’s and to find your nearest centre please visit or get in touch maggies.org 0300 123 1801 [email protected] Maggie’s Carols in the Kitchen Fundraising Your Support Makes All The Difference The need for cancer support has never been greater. To help more people we’ve grown from one Maggie’s centre in Edinburgh to 23 across the UK in just 25 years. Cancer affects more than just your physical health. In a normal year, the emotional impact and disruption to your life can be huge. But over the past year, this has only intensified. Screenings have been missed, treatment delayed, surgeries postponed. For some, there will be unbearable mental anguish as they learn that their cancer is no longer treatable or survivable. You can make a difference. £15 £35 £100 could pay for someone to could go towards an hour could pay for three sessions get one-to-one help with of advice and support over to work through difficult money worries the phone for someone feelings with a psychologist with cancer on the phone We rely on your kindness so that we can provide the best possible cancer support.

  • Selective Abortion Sundari Anitha and Ai
    Making politics visible: Discourses on gender and race in the problematisation of sex- selective abortion Sundari Anitha and Aisha Gill Accepted for publication in Feminist Review Abstract This paper examines the problematisation of sex-selective abortion (SSA) in UK parliamentary debates on Fiona Bruce’s Abortion (Sex-Selection) Bill 2014-15 and on the subsequent proposed amendment to the Serious Crime Bill 2014. On the basis of close textual analysis, we argue that a discursive framing of SSA as a form of cultural oppression of minority women in need of protection underpinned Bruce’s Bill; in contrast, by highlighting issues more commonly articulated in defence of women’s abortion rights, the second set of debates displaced this framing in favour of a broader understanding, drawing on post-colonial feminist critiques, of how socio-economic factors constrain all women in this regard. We argue that the problematisation of SSA explains the original cross-party support for, and subsequent defeat of, the policies proposed to restrict SSA. Our analysis also highlights the central role of ideology in the policy process, thus making politics visible in policy-making. Keywords South Asian women, sex-selective abortion, post-colonial feminism; policy analysis; Serious Crime Bill; Fiona Bruce Introduction In 2012, the Daily Telegraph reported that two doctors working in a private medical practice were prepared to authorise an undercover journalist’s request for an abortion based on the sex of the foetus (Watt et al., 2012). Although transcripts of these conversations revealed that sex had been mentioned in relation to a genetic disorder – which can be sex-specific – in one case, the article omitted this significant detail.

  • 1 Archived BBC Public Responses to Complaints
    Archived BBC public responses to complaints 2019 This Week, BBC One, 10 January 2019 Summary of complaint We received complaints from people who felt Owen Jones was treated in a disrespectful manner while appearing as a guest on the programme. Our response Following the verbal abuse which he and others had sustained from protesters outside Parliament, Owen Jones, journalist, left wing commentator and activist, used his “Take of the Week” section to give his personal take on the current state of political discourse, the rise of the far right and, as he deemed, the reasons for this. This is a prominent section of the programme in which the author gives their views unchallenged. During his video and the studio discussion which followed, Mr Jones made allegations about the Conservative Party and right wing media which some would consider contentious. As our audience would expect, Andrew scrutinised what Mr Jones said. Michael Portillo, who disagreed with Mr Jones, also gave his opinion. Mr Jones was given ample time to express his views and respond to points made to him. When Mr Jones made allegations about The Spectator magazine and Andrew’s role with the publication. Andrew legitimately pointed out that this was nothing to do with the BBC and it wasn’t right for Mr Jones to use the programme to make personal accusations against him. Today, BBC Radio 4, 26 January 2019 Summary of complaint We received a range of complaints following the interview of Helen McEntee. Some listeners felt the tone and content were not appropriate, suggesting a personal bias from the interviewer.

  • Augmented Beauty, November 2015
    AUGMENTED BEAUTY MUSICAL DIRECTORS DOMINIC PECKHAM AND ALISTAIR DIGGES 14TH NOVEMBER 2015, 7.30PM ST MARY’S CATHEDRAL GOOD EVENING AND A VERY WARM WELCOME TO ST MARY’S CATHEDRAL, PALMERSTON PLACE The Edinburgh Singers are delighted to be performing tonight in this beautiful and historic building. After disestablishment and the loss of St Giles’ Cathedral in 1689, the Episcopalian Church in Scotland was without an Edinburgh Cathedral until tonight’s venue was built, in 1874, by Sir George Gilbert Scott. It seems fitting that this masterwork of the architect of St Pancras Station, the Albert memorial and the red telephone box, should tonight play host to one of London’s finest choral ensembles – The London Oriana Choir. Dominic Peckham, Oriana’s illustrious Musical Director, was MD of the Edinburgh Singers until 2008, and it is wonderful to be singing with his current choir and under his baton again. During the interval, please do enjoy the complimentary refreshments. Regular concertgoers will be familiar with our retiring bucket collection: on this occasion, proceeds will go towards Borderline, the charity that specifically exists to help Scottish people on the streets, or those who are at risk of ending up on the streets of London. Homeless Scots in London are vulnerable, isolated and far from home. Many Scots come to London and prosper. However, more than 12% of the UK homeless population in London is Scottish. Your donations will help them at this time of year. I hope that you will find this concert as much of a joy to listen to as it has been for us to rehearse.

  • Model Decision Notice and Advice
    Reference: FS50150782 Freedom of Information Act 2000 (Section 50) Decision Notice Date: 25 March 2008 Public Authority: British Broadcasting Corporation (‘BBC’) Address: MC3 D1 Media Centre Media Village 201 Wood Lane London W12 7TQ Summary The complainant requested details of payments made by the BBC to a range of personalities, actors, journalists and broadcasters. The BBC refused to provide the information on the basis that the information was held for the purposes of journalism, art and literature. Having considered the purposes for which this information is held, the Commissioner has concluded that the requested information was not held for the dominant purposes of journalism, art and literature and therefore the request falls within the scope of the Act. Therefore the Commissioner has decided that in responding to the request the BBC failed to comply with its obligations under section 1(1). Also, in failing to provide the complainant with a refusal notice the Commissioner has decided that the BBC breached section 17(1) of the Act. However, the Commissioner has also concluded that the requested information is exempt from disclosure by virtue of section 40(2) of the Act. The Commissioner’s Role 1. The Commissioner’s duty is to decide whether a request for information made to a public authority has been dealt with in accordance with the requirements of Part 1 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (the “Act”). In the particular circumstances of this complaint, this duty also includes making a formal decision on whether the BBC is a public authority with regard to the information requested by the complainant.
