MAGIC ME Annual Report 2012/13 2 MAGIC ME AnnuAl rEport 2012/13 2 About Magic Me brings the generations together to build a stronger, friendlier community. Our projects often link unlikely partners. Young Magic people aged 8+ and adults aged 60+ team up through shared, creative activity. Intergenerational groups meet on a weekly basis in schools, museums, older people’s clubs, care homes, community and cultural organisations. Projects are led by our team of freelance creative artists: musicians, visual artists, photographers, printmakers, writers and drama specialists. They design activities to stimulate conversation and an ME exchange of ideas. As well as coming from a “You come in as strangers, you leave as friends” wide age gap participants are often diverse in culture and faith. Older Participant Our annual programme combines tried and tested models with trialling new ideas and projects. A lot of our work takes place in Tower Hamlets, East London, but a growing desire for intergenerational work has pushed our boundaries further afield, with national and international consultancy and training work. 3 Chair’s rEport thIs YEAr wE workED wIth Welcome to this year’s annual report.

The exhibition ‘Beauty Queens: Smiles, Swimsuits and Sabotage’ sparked the idea for a creative project led by Magic Me. Women aged 14 to 80+ gathered to explore ideas of women and beauty and created photographs and poetry, presented on the opening night of the exhibition. The project became an annual event, with some older women returning each year. For each project young women from Mulberry School for Girls and local older women met weekly for workshops at the Library. Over 95% of Mulberry students are from Bangladeshi Muslim families and the older women come from a broad range of backgrounds. The groups focused on a different theme each year, always drawing inspiration from the Library’s rich collection and from their own experiences and stories. “The Magic Me project always tEn YEArs At has an enormous impact on the young people who take part.” thE woMEn’s lIbrArY Head Teacher, Mulberry School for Girls 7 Sue Mayo, Magic Me Associate Artist, Wild Wild Women worked with diverse Magic Me artists Our chosen theme captured the each year, enabling groups to create energy, creativity and unique photographs, a soundtrack, sculpture story of the thousands of women and performances. whose stories fill the Library; those who broke rules and conventions, Where the Heart Is pursuing justice and equality.

  • Political Culture and the Labour Movement: A
    POLITICAL CULTURE AND THE LABOUR MOVEMENT: A COMPARISON BETWEEN POPLAR AND WEST HAM 1889-1914 DIANA ELISABETH BANKS-CONNEY A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of Greenwich for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy &AN f September 2005 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS In common with every other writer of a doctoral thesis, this could not have been written without the help and support of a number of people. First I wish to thank my supervisors, Fred Lindop and Angela John, for all their advice and encouragement. Secondly, the staff at Greenwich University Library, Tower Hamlets Local History Library, the West Ham Local Studies Library and Museum of Labour History at Manchester all provided invaluable help. I also wish to thank my daughter, Jennie Sage, for preparing the typescript for printing, a long and laborious task. Last, but by no means least, I wish to express my thanks to my late father, John Banks, who was the inspiration for my studies, and my husband, Stuart, for his patience and his willingness to listen to my ideas. in ABSTRACT This thesis compares two areas of East London, Poplar and West Ham, that ultimately became strongholds of the Labour Party. The thesis attempts to answer the crucial question of why, prior to 1914, it seemed as if Labour had succeeded in South West Ham but had failed to achieve similar representation in Poplar. This thesis considers that although contemporaries had identified similar social and economic problems in both Poplar and West Ham in the early twentieth century, more detailed analysis reveals differences as well as similarities in the underlying economic and social structure, which had implications for political outcomes.
