Although it must be noted that, due to competing project pressures faced by the event organizers, BHOD 12 offered some 30% less events than in recent years. • Assessing visitor numbers for 2012 is difficult, due in part to the very busy nature of some venues. However, it is thought that overall, despite the number of activities on offer being reduced for 2012, approximately 10,000- 11,000 visitors attended the event, approaching the numbers attained in recent years. • Media coverage for the event was good, with exposure in, The Argus, various local amenity magazines and weekly publications, BBC local radio, RadioReverb, and the Discovering Places website, which publicised the HODs listings as a part of London 2012’s Cultural Olympiad campaign.

Over the years it has evolved to include long term and respite nursing and residential care. Admission to a permanent nursing home placement at the Brighton Centre follows a set process. Members may apply for a permanent care placement, but applications must be made via their welfare officer and each application is assessed and considered on an individual needs basis by the Admissions Panel.

To meet this aim, the Charity provides: • rehabilitation and training in employment and independent living skills • assistance towards the provision of welfare, medical and housing support to Members, their families and widows or widowers • a nursing and residential care home and training centre at Brighton and Llandudno • a training centre at Sheffield The aim of the Centre is to provide quality nursing and social care based on assessed need in order that residents may live as independently, actively and normally as possible, taking account of their wishes and capabilities.

    Association for Industrial Archaeology Annual Conference Brighton 2015 Industrial Archaeology Tour Notes for Sussex Compiled and Edited by Robert Taylor Sussex Industrial Archaeology Society Welcome to Sussex We trust you will enjoy the tours which extend across the county from Goodwood in the west to Hastings in the east and north to Gatwick. We have tried to fit as many visits as possible, but as a consequence the timings for all the tours are tight, so please ensure you return to the coach no later than the time stated by the tour leader and note any instructions they or the driver may give. Most of the places that we visit are either public open spaces or sites, buildings, or structures that are open to the public on a regular basis. Please be aware that all tour members have a responsibility to conduct themselves in a safe and appropriate manner, so do take care when boarding or alighting from vehicles, particularly if crossing in front of or behind the vehicle where one’s view may be obstructed. Similarly care should be exercised when ascending or descending steps or steep slopes and paths that may additionally be slippery when wet. Where we are visiting a site that is not usually open to the public, further instructions will be provided by the Tour Guide when we get to the site. Our best wishes for enjoyable time Committee of the Sussex Industrial Archaeology Society To assist with identifying the sites while on the bus tours the Field Guide / Gazetteer booklet references are included in the notes for each tour.

  • The 100Th Annual Report of the Council of Blind Veterans UK (Formerly St Dunstan’S) Year Ended 31St March 2015
    The 100th Annual Report of the Council of Blind Veterans UK (formerly St Dunstan’s) Year ended 31st March 2015 1 2 About Blind Veterans UK For 100 years, Blind Veterans UK has helped ex-Service men and women discover life beyond sight loss. No matter how long they served or what caused their sight loss, we provide blind veterans – known as our members – with the training, services and lifelong support they need to lead full lives that are as independent as possible. Since 1915, when we were founded as St Dunstan’s, we have been committed to ensuring that no one who has served our country should battle blindness alone. Contents Chairman’s foreword to the annual report and financial statements 2014/15 4 Chief Executive’s introduction to the annual report and financial statements 2014/15 5 Report of the Blind Veterans UK Council 6 Financial responsibilities of the Blind Veterans UK Council 26 Independent auditor’s report to the members and trustees of Blind Veterans UK 31 Consolidated statement of financial activities for the year ended 31 March 2015 33 Balance sheet as at 31 March 2015 34 Consolidated cashflow statement for the year ended 31 March 2015 35 Notes to the accounts 37 2 3 Chairman’s foreword to the annual report and financial statements 2014/15 When Sir Arthur Pearson founded a charity to help the blind veterans returning from World War I, he simply could not have predicted that this charity would still be pursuing his vision 100 years later. Nor, I expect, could he have guessed that during those 100 years, the charity would go on to help more than 35,000 blind veterans and their families.
