  • Count Robert De La ROCHEFOUCAULD Obituary
    THE INDEPENDENT – OBITUARIES – 21st June 2012 Count Robert de la Rochefoucauld Veteran-of SOE F Section Descended from an ancient French noble family, Count Robert de la Rochefoucauld was one of the last surviving French agents of Britain’s Special Operations Executive (SOE), the secret organisation set up by Winston Churchill to aid anti-Nazi resistance fighters. There are now believed to be only two surviving French agents of the SOE, which Churchill ordered to “set Europe ablaze” through sabotage. While General Charles de Gaulle organised his Free French Forces (FFL) from his London base, some Frenchmen were hand-picked and trained by the SOE before being sent back to their occupied country to provide money, equipment and training to the local maquis. De la Rochefoucauld was recruited by Captain Eric Piquet-Wicks, who was in charge of the SOE’s RF Section of French nationals based at 1 Dorset Square, London. They worked in parallel with, though not always in agreement with, the more famous F Section run by the legendary spymaster Maurice Buckmaster. The SOE would later be dubbed “the Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare”. De la Rochefoucauld received parachute, sabotage and commando training at secret locations in England and Scotland, including “silent killing” techniques taught by the renowned duo Fairbairn and Sykes – designers of the famous commando knife – at Arisaig, Inverness-shire, before being parachuted back into his homeland. Dropped into France twice by the RAF, captured twice by the Nazis and once sentenced to death by firing squad, he survived by using the unarmed combat skills taught to him in the Scottish Highlands.

Louis Aragon, The Red Poster 1 The story of an English network in the French Resistance in Marseille 1943 – 1944 For Margaret, Patrick and Brigitte Browne A furtive silhouette shoots out of the dark stomach of a four-engined Halifax B Mark II Special bomber. It is 2am on the night of 13/14 August 1943. The aeroplane flies over the Jura département, not far from Lons-le-Saulnier, before continuing on its route towards the North East, where it will cast out another member of its human cargo above the Montbéliard region (Haute-Saône). This Royal Air Force equipment has been – as it has for every mission – put at the disposal of the Special Operations Executive (SOE), created by Churchill in 1940 to ‘set Europe ablaze’ by parachuting specially trained agents into occupied France, to help the maquis, equip them with arms and instruct their sabotage teams. The bomber, unarmed this time and prepared only to transport parachutists and their equipment, took off a few hours earlier at the discreet Tempsford aerodrome in Bedfordshire, north of London. Each month, with the full moon, secret agents depart from this RAF aerodrome, their arrival details sent by coded messages to the leaders of networks, or to resistants liaising with SOE’s F Section1.

  • THE VALUE of SMALL GRANTS a Review by Peter Minet Trust and United St Saviour’S Charity March 2018 INTRODUCTION
    THE VALUE OF SMALL GRANTS A review by Peter Minet Trust and United St Saviour’s Charity March 2018 INTRODUCTION United St Saviour’s Charity (UStSC) and Peter Minet Trust (Peter Minet) have been awarding small grants in South London for many years. In 2017 they joined forces to commission Rocket Science to review their grants programmes to better understand the impact that they make and to help the two organisations think about how to develop them for the future. Peter Minet supports organisations in Lambeth and Southwark with grants of up to £5,000. UStSC only works in Southwark and has two grants programmes; a ‘Community Investment’ programme’ of over £5,000 for larger strategic projects and a ‘Community Engagement’ programme of small grants. Only the latter was the subject of this review which looked back at the past three years of grant-making. Measuring the impact of small grants is inherently challenging and it was never the intention to produce a full-blown evaluation. However, both organisations set out to understand whether relatively small grants were of value to the groups and charities they fund. This document summarises the main findings of the review. In many ways it is a celebration of the two programmes and the difference that they make. 2 INVESTMENT OVER THREE YEARS COMBINED United St Saviour’s Charity 321 206 GRANTS AWARDED GRANTS £440,366 INVESTED 149 DIFFERENT ORGANISATIONS FUNDED £853,873 TOTAL INVESTMENT Peter Minet Trust 115 GRANTS AWARDED 243 £413,507 INVESTED DIFFERENT ORGANISATIONS 94 DIFFERENT ORGANISATIONS FUNDED
