Sweeney Programme TO PRINT 26/2/09 14:52 Page 4 From the Chairman... Welcome to this evening’s performance of Sweeney Todd. This has been an exciting and challenging venture for us with a different venue and more creative freedom in the designing of sets etc. It is a thrilling piece of theatre and the music of Stephen Sondheim showing off its usual brilliance and complexity. The change of venue to the Queen Mother Theatre should make the experience more intimate and really bring it to life. The recent film version has brought it to a wider audience and I hope that you will be suitably gripped by this performance. We are delighted to welcome back Jim Snell as our stage director for this show and Mike Payne as musical director. Rehearsals have been hard work - but tremendous fun and I’m sure you will enjoy the results of the company’s labours in this performance. Hitchin Thespians like to maintain a varied programme and so this more traditional show is a contrast to the previous production of Calamity Jane and of course our next show Fiddler on the Roof in October which will be back at the Gordon Craig Theatre - which we welcome you to as well. I would like to thank you for supporting us in this production and if this is the first production of ours you have attended we hope it will be the first of many. Now its time to sit back, read the synopsis and be transported as the curtain rises on the dark, dank streets of the City of London - somewhere near Fleet Street.

  • And the Nhs Money: Reinstate the Maternity Safety Training Fund
    Baby Lifeline, The Granary, Fernhill Court, Balsall Street East, Balsall Common, CV7 7FR Tel: 01676 534671 Fax: 01676 535645 Email: [email protected] www.babylifeline.org.uk Company Registered No. 2661760. Registered Charity No. 1006457. Limited by Guarantee. The Rt Honourable Boris Johnson, Prime Minister, 10 Downing Street, London, SW1A 2AA. Dear Prime Minister, SAVE LIVES - AND THE NHS MONEY: REINSTATE THE MATERNITY SAFETY TRAINING FUND On behalf of Baby Lifeline – a charity which has been established for 39 years and is committed to supporting the safe care of pregnant women and newborn babies across the UK – we write to ask the Government to reinstate the Maternity Safety Training Fund as a matter of urgency. When the £8.1m Maternity Safety Training Fund was released in 2016 it gave over 30,000 maternity healthcare professionals access to training that they would not otherwise have had. Independent evaluation showed that the fund had an overwhelmingly positive impact, though it was not continued beyond its first year. The UK is a safe place for women to give birth, but improvements need to be made to ensure every maternity experience is as safe as possible. Poor maternity care can result in avoidable deaths and injuries to mothers and babies across the UK, costing billions of pounds to the National Health Service in resultant litigation costs. Baby deaths and injuries investigated by national bodies are reported to have been avoidable with different care in many cases. The cost of these tragedies to the wider NHS is high -
