  • Annual Report 2016

    Annual Report 2016

    Chairman’s Message The times, they are a-changing, as a certain Mr Dylan said many years ago. The voluntary sector is being asked, if not driven, to be more commercial as there are fewer and fewer grants available, and those that are still around are being targeted at more and more specific areas of work. I would ask the funders, government and others: Is commercial really better in the sphere that the voluntary sector occupies? That is the delivery of support and services to people and communities where there is no profit and much disadvantage! Does this philosophy run the risk of eroding the difference factor the sector brings? Such as its closeness to the service user, its focus on meeting the needs as defined by that person, the filling of gaps and making of links? VANL’s core activity, which is advice, support and liaison and representation for the voluntary sector (which has always been the core work of councils for voluntary service), is now no longer considered a priority for funding locally, which means with sadness we have to announce that VANL’s service to its members and clients is changing. Thanks to the withdrawal of our core funding, we now have to charge for most of our services. This has happened since the end of the financial year in question here, but we need all our customers to be aware that if you need our services, you may be charged for the work. We are of course keeping charges as low as we possibly can, and seeking to reduce the cost burden on our already-overstretched sector by finding new ways to earn income to subsidise our support.

    North Lincolnshire's Newcomers in 2019

    North Lincolnshire’s newcomers in 2019 A short statistics overview for people who plan or deliver services, and are planning for migrants who are the newest arrivals to North Lincolnshire. Photo credits: Steve Morgan [photographer] and Yorkshire Futures [source]. 1. Introduction Who is this briefing paper for? This document is aimed at people who plan or deliver local services in North Lincolnshire. You might find you are often the first people who meet and respond to newcomers in the local area. You will know that people who have just arrived in an area often need more information and support than those who have had time to adjust and learn about life in the UK. These newcomers might benefit from information about key services for example, in their first language. This briefing paper provides an overview of the numbers and geographical patterns of new migrants who recently have come to live in North Lincolnshire and were issued with a national insurance number [NINO] in 2019. We hope you will find the information presented here useful for planning services and engagement with new communities, making funding applications, or for background research for you or your colleagues to better understand migration in your area. Where has the data come from? This briefing paper was produced by Migration Yorkshire in September 2020. This document uses information from the Department for Work and Pensions [DWP] about non-British nationals who successfully applied for a NINO in 2019. We have used this as a proxy for newcomers, because new arrivals usually need to apply for a NINO in order to work or claim benefits.

    Building Stones of Lincolnshire

    Building stones of Greater Lincolnshire Lincolnshire Limestone at another famous Lincoln landmark © Lincolnshire County Council The rocks on which we stand The geology of Greater Lincolnshire (encompassing the county of Lincolnshire and the unitary authorities of North and North East Lincolnshire) comprises rocks and sediments of Late Triassic (the oldest rocks) in the west to Quaternary (the most recent sediments) in the east. In general, the rocks dip gently eastwards towards the North Sea coast forming a tilted sandwich. The area can be divided into several topographically and geologically distinct regions: in the west are the Trent Valley and the Isle of Axholme which are underlain by the Triassic rocks. To the east are two north- south ridges of higher ground forming the Lincoln Edge or Cliff (of Jurassic limestone) and the Lincolnshire Wolds (of Cretaceous chalk). The remainder of the area forms part of the low-lying drainage basin of the Humber Estuary (or Humber Levels) in the north while the southern limit of the Wolds is obscured by a thickening cover of sediments that forms the area of south Lincolnshire known as the fenland. Both the Humber Levels and the fenland have a series of Quaternary sediments.

If you have any difficulties with the form, or have any questions about what to include that aren't answered in this guide please do contact the Lincolnshire Remembrance team on 01522 554959 or [email protected] Add a memorial to the map You can add a memorial to the map by clicking on it. Firstly you need to find its location by using the grab tool to move around the map, and the zoom in and out buttons. If you find that you have added it to the wrong area of the map you can move it by clicking again in the correct location. Memorial name * This information is needed to help us identify the memorial which is being recorded. Including a few words identifying what the memorial is, what it commemorates and a placename would be helpful. For example, 'Roll of Honour for the Men of Grasby WWI, All Saints church, Grasby'. Address * If a full address, including post code, is available, please enter it here. It should have a minimum of a street name: it needs to be enough information to help us identify approximately where a memorial is located, but you don’t need to include the full address. For example, you don’t need to tell us the County (as we know it will be Lincolnshire, North Lincolnshire or North East Lincolnshire), and you don’t need to tell us the village, town or parish because they can be included in the boxes below.

  • Heritage & Church

    HERITAGE & CHURCH... NORTHERNLINCOLNSHIRE TRAILS Isle of Axholme www.churchtrails.com HERITAGE & CHURCH TRAILS ISLE OF AXHOLME About the Project Over the past two millennia churches have been at the heart of communities across the country and the churches of Northern Lincolnshire are no exception. Tightly bound to the events that shaped each town or village in the county, churches are able to act almost as living museums. Go into a church and look around. Before long you will have found something unusual – perhaps a strange mark in stone or brickwork, or an object that stands apart from its surroundings. Take the time to find out a little more about this sight and the chances are that you will have stumbled across a portal back in time. Whether this portal leads back to an epic moment in the area’s history or gives a quiet insight into the life of an individual is for you to discover, but every church in Northern Lincolnshire has its own tale to tell. In recognition of the unique position occupied by churches throughout our history the Northern Lincolnshire Heritage & Church Trails were set up to allow visitors access into these historic treasures, as well as allowing you to enjoy the area’s stunning rural landscape. Sixteen churches were selected from across the area and fitted with new heritage displays, charting the fascinating history of each town or village. Each of the churches taking part in the project opens to visitors on a regular basis. This project is part financed by The European Regional Development Fund PAGE | 2 These churches are divided into four groups: Barton and the surrounding area, Brigg and the surrounding area, the Isle of Axholme and North East Lincolnshire.

The ( + ) division numbers signifies that the species has been recorded for all those divisions. The other form ( + all) that the plant has been found in every division of the county. The minus ( — ) sign before division numbers imphes that the species has been recorded for all the divisions except those indicated. The sign of multiplication (x) shows a hybrid. The equal ( = ) sign implies that the plant's record of frequency will be found under its second name in this list. A division number in parenthesis (12) implies that I have every reason to believe the plant is now extinct in its recorded locality for this division, but there is no doubt it was once there— (see Equisetiim hyemale, L.). An asterisk * after division number or numbers means I have seen no Lincolnshire specimens, and do not know of one; where there is no doubt about the authority for such records I say so.
