Amy Winehouse Waistcoat Worn at Brits to Be Auctioned at New York Gala Amy Winehouse Waistcoat Worn at BRITs to be Auctioned at New York Gala Submitted by: Bespoke HQ Wednesday, 20 March 2013 LONDON – MARCH 2013. The waistcoat with an image of Amy Winehouse on the back, which was worn by Mitch Winehouse to the BRIT Awards (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2281859/Amy-Winehouses-father-Mitch-dons-waistcoat-face-The-Brits-2013.html) last month, will be auctioned in New York on Thursday 21st March 2013 at the Amy Winehouse Foundation Inspiration Awards and Gala. The waistcoat will be signed by a number of celebrities including Tony Bennett, who’s receiving a lifetime achievement award, and Jennifer Hudson who is performing at the Gala. The waistcoat was designed and created by British celebrity tailor Stephen Williams of tailoring house Bespoke HQ (http://www.bespokehq.com/), who also made the suit Mitch wore to the Amy Winehouse Foundation Ball held in London last November. Stephen has dressed and created suits for the likes of David Beckham, Stephen Dorff, Jermaine Jackson, and Jacobi Calthorpe (http://www.bespokehq.com/blog/an-appointment-with-jacobi-anstruther-gough-calthorpe/), and he previously worked for Giorgio Armani before working as a tailor at William Hunt on Savile Row. The Amy Winehouse Foundation (http://www.amywinehousefoundation.org/us/) are raising money for various charities in the USA, including the New Orleans Jazz Orchestra (NOJO) to assist in supporting after school music programs for children in those districts still struggling from the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina, and the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM). The foundation hope the Inspiration Awards and Gala will become an annual event to raise awareness and resources for the Amy Winehouse Foundation in the US. All monies raised in the US, including from this event will go to US programs. Talking about the commemorative waistcoat for Amy, tailor Stephen Williams said; “The uniqueness and extra detail we have put into the garment celebrates the impact Amy had on the music industry. We had great feedback from the press and Amy’s fans when Mitch wore it to the BRITs, so hopefully it will raise a lot of money at the auction!” Mitch adds; “The suit Stephen created is beautiful, I proudly wore it to the BRIT Awards when Amy was nominated for a posthumous award and everyone loved it. Amy was half American so I’m really hoping it raises a lot of money for the foundation on the night of the Gala so we can help more kids in the US.” The Inspiration Awards and Gala will take place at the famous Waldorf Astoria in New York City, on Thursday 21st March 2013, and will honour Tony Bennett, NAS, SaLaAM ReMi and Elhadj “Moe” Kane. Jennifer Hudson will be a featured guest performer. ### About The Amy Winehouse Foundation (http://www.amywinehousefoundation.org/us/) - The Amy Winehouse Foundation US is supporting and empowering children and young adults in need through music therapy and music education and works to prevent the effects of drug and alcohol misuse on young people.

  • NORTHERN COUNTIES REVEALED AS OPIOID PRESCRIBING HOTSPOTS Submitted By: M&F Health Communications Ltd Tuesday, 29 September 2020
    NORTHERN COUNTIES REVEALED AS OPIOID PRESCRIBING HOTSPOTS Submitted by: M&F Health Communications Ltd Tuesday, 29 September 2020 * Experts fear potential for further increase in prescribing rates and addiction levels as COVID measures take their toll * New UK poll shows that 23% of people either started taking or increased substance use due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic * Global Recovery Initiatives Foundation and Amy Winehouse Foundation join forces on SNO BABIES film to support UK recovery London, UK, 29th September 2020 - Opioid prescribing* 'hotspots' revealed today as new 2019/20 data analysed for the Global Recovery Initiatives Foundation shows that prescriptions of these addictive painkillers were double the national average. These include areas in the North-East - County Durham, Cleveland, Tyne And Wear and Northumberland. The analysis uncovered a worrying reverse from previous declining rates despite an increase in government regulation. At a national level there was a 1% increase in opioid prescribing during the COVID-19 lockdown period (March to June 2020 vs the same period in 2019) across the UK. Some areas saw a more dramatic shift - in Greater London and Nottinghamshire for example, the lockdown period resulted in a 4% increase in opioid prescriptions. This has prompted experts to speculate that COVID-19 lockdown measures could increase overall prescription and general drug use, particularly in prescribing hotspots. New data from a UK poll also shows 23% of people either started taking or increased substance use (such as prescription drugs like as opioids, alcohol and illegal drugs such as cocaine) due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

  • AMY Discussion Guide
    www.influencefilmclub.com AMY Discussion Guide Director: Asif Kapadia Year: 2015 Time: 128 min You might know this director from: Ali and Nino (2016) Senna (2010) Far North (2007) The Return (2006) The Warrior (2001) FILM SUMMARY If you live in the Western World and have access to the mainstream press in any capacity, you’ve most likely heard of Amy Winehouse. Regardless of your knowledge of her before spending two hours in her filmic company, you probably have some notion of her - in many cases, not the most squeaky clean perception. Whenever Amy made it into the headlines, it was generally some kind of self-damaging drama that dragged her there. So when asked by Universal Records to make a documentary on the life of this renowned international pop star, director Asif Kapadia felt compelled to challenge the widely accepted notion of Amy as a train wreck. Lucky for him, hours and hours of amateur footage was offered his way, portraying a younger, fresher, happier, and healthier Amy, a young woman as of yet untouched by the destructive claws of fame, money, and addiction. Over the course of 128 hypnotic minutes, Kapadia takes us on a chronological ride through Amy’s short-lived time on earth. By adopting this approach, he grasps his audience by the heartstrings with early images of a charming and very talented young woman. As time progresses and success tsunamis her way, the natural arch of her life, however fast-lived, gains a clearer context, as does her untimely death. Despite the cast of dubious relationships and her substance-abusing decisions, Amy maintained an incredible natural talent up until her death.

The fight for equality begins in the streets. The history of inequality is a long and terrible one. And it’s not over yet. Short, sharp and devastating, The War of the Poor tells the story of a brutal episode from history, not as well known as tales of other popular uprisings, but one that deserves to be told.

  • Resilience Programme Parents' Information Booklet
    RESILIENCE PROGRAMME PARENTS’ INFORMATION BOOKLET ABOUT THE RESILIENCE PROGRAMME The Amy Winehouse Foundation Resilience Programme was first launched in 2013 and then expanded in 2014 thanks to funding from the BIG Lottery Fund. Delivered in over 200 schools across England, the Resilience Programme works with parents, teachers and pupils to better manage their emotional wellbeing to enable students to make healthy decisions about the use of drugs and alcohol, and about how to best handle peer pressure, their self esteem and risky situations. Parents play a key role in this process and whether or not your school is receiving the Resilience Programme, we believe it is vital that every parent has access to the information held within this book. The programme is delivered in partnership between the Amy Winehouse Foundation and Addaction, one of the UK’s largest specialist drug and alcohol charities. To find out more about the programme, our organisations and the work we do please visit www.amywinehousefoundation.org and www.addaction.org.uk Resilience Programme Parents Information Booklet | P2 PROMOTING RESILIENCE Each year we speak to thousands of children and young people in classrooms up and down the country about the issues that might be affecting them both inside and outside of school. We encounter many who feel under a great deal of pressure, whether it be to succeed in exams, maintain relationships or to look or act in certain ways. These stresses can have a significant impact on both physical and emotional health. For example: Almost 1 in 4 children and young people show some evidence of mental ill health (including anxiety and depression).

  • Proposal to Amy Winehouse Foundation BKCM Teen Jazz Intensive, FY17 September 2016
    Proposal to Amy Winehouse Foundation BKCM Teen Jazz Intensive, FY17 September 2016 The Brooklyn Conservatory of Music (BKCM) requests a grant totaling $50,000 from the Amy Winehouse Foundation supporting its Teen Jazz Intensive in calendars years 2016-17 and 2017-18. Our Organization Founded in 1897 as a formal music conservatory of just 200 students, BKCM has blossomed into a community music school that provides music instruction, music therapy, and community concerts to more than 15,000 people across New York City. BKCM makes high-quality music instruction and experiences accessible to people of all ages, ethnicities, socioeconomic backgrounds, and skill levels, which in turn reflects the vibrant breadth of diversity that invigorates our city: BKCM students range in age from 12 months to 100, represent more than 40 nationalities, and speak more than 30 languages and dialects. Our mission is to transform lives and enrich communities by removing the barriers that hinder anyone from learning and experiencing music. Our need The Teen Jazz Intensive fills a need within the New York City pre-college music education landscape for affordable, intensive and immersive jazz instruction. Many talented students are rejected from other jazz programs in the City or cannot afford their high tuition fees. We aim to provide these students with an opportunity to develop not only as musicians but also as young adults. Our Teen Jazz Intensive emphasizes building relationships, communication, and developing leadership skills while working as part of a team while providing an outlet for students to celebrate life through their self-expression and connection with jazz historical lineages.
