  • Position Statement on the Value and Needs of Small Community Groups
    Small Groups Network Position Statement on the Value and Needs of Small Community Groups A description of a small community group in Brighton and Hove Small, community based groups are founded and organised around activities that the members themselves have decided are important. These groups can have no paid staff and are often run by fewer than 10 core volunteers, although activities can be supported by many more. Often unfunded, these groups form the front line of a community and voluntary sector whose work benefits everyone in the city. They play a vital role in resilience of the city’s communities through innovative and creative approaches to what is important to them. The Resource Centre, a sector support organisation, estimates that there are well over 700 small groups in the city1 making up a large proportion of the community and voluntary sector locally. Community Works has 214 small groups in its membership (see Appendix 1 on page 6). Small groups characteristically have a very open and informal structure. The management of the group and its activities are generally carried out by the same people and the existence of the group is often entirely dependent on the voluntary commitment of these core people. The producers and the consumers of the group’s activity are often the same people. It is acknowledged that it is hard to define small groups and it can be unhelpful to put boundaries around what they do because groups may change structure as they develop. Nationally, there is no consistent definition, although groups can be described as ‘informal’, ‘unregulated’ and ‘below the radar’.

  • Beautiful, Brilliant Brighton
    Level 3 Beautiful, brilliant Brighton 1 THINK ABOUT IT Beautiful, brilliant Brighton A The two adjectives before the name of the town start with the same letter as the town. This is called dvanced alliteration: the use of the same letter or sound at the beginning of words in a sentence, especially in poetry. Invent similar slogans for any two other cities, e.g. ‘Lively, loud London’ and ‘Pretty, peaceful Paris’. Then have a class competition to see who can invent the best slogan for your town. 2 WHAT DOES IT MEAN? Skim-read the article to find the words that fit in the gaps. The paragraph number will help you. 1. A structure built out from the land over water, especially at the seaside, where people can go to walk and for entertainment. _____________________ (para 1) 2. An area of water beside the land that is designed for keeping small private boats in. _____________________ (para 1) 3. An organization to which you give money so that it can help people who are poor or ill, or who need advice and support. _____________________ (para 2) 4. This describes the idea that people who are lesbian or gay should be proud. _____________________ (para 2, two words) 5. A small stone, especially one that has been made smooth by water. _____________________ (para 3) 6. A word meaning lively and exciting and bright and colourful. _____________________ (para 3) 7. A place to walk, usually next to a beach. _____________________ (para 4) 8. A sweet food consisting of very thin strings of pink sugar wrapped around a stick.

  • Information Sources – Researching the James Gray Collection BOOKS
    Information sources – researching the James Gray Collection Here are some books and online resources which might assist your research into Brighton & Hove’s architectural history. It is by no means exhaustive but hopefully a useful starting point. And remember, there is a wealth of material on the history of Brighton & Hove in our local public and university libraries as well as in the East Sussex archive collection at The Keep. BOOKS • Antram, Nicholas and Richard Morrice. Brighton and Hove. Yale University Press, 2008. (Pevsner Architectural Guides) Predominantly a series of walks highlighting streets and buildings of interest but also includes a brief history of Brighton & Hove and sections on eight major buildings such as the Royal Pavilion and the Jubilee Library. Also includes an annotated chapter of ‘further reading’. • Antram, Nicholas and Nikolaus Pevsner. Sussex: East with Brighton and Hove. Yale University Press, 2013. (Pevsner Architectural Guides) Another in the Buildings of England series guide, this covers East Sussex including outlying areas of Brighton & Hove not covered by the 2008 guide (see above). • Carder, Timothy. The encyclopaedia of Brighton. East Sussex County Libraries, 1990. Incredibly useful book. Extracts appear on the My Brighton and Hove website (see online resources below). • Collis, Rose. New encyclopaedia of Brighton. Brighton & Hove Libraries, 2010. An updated edition of Timothy Carder’s earlier work. This edition includes both the bibliography of the original edition and an updated bibliography (including websites) for the 2010 edition. • Guide to the buildings of Brighton [written by students and staff of the School of Architecture and Interior Design, Brighton Polytechnic].
