Looking at these pictures that follows, one may not realise how important these young men and women are within our community. They show a calm tireless commitment to all those who comes into the centre for help in comput- ing, innumeracy and literacy. I personally find that they are honest, reliable, dependable, co- herent, Cohesive, managed to gather and co- ordinate people of different race, background, age etc. There is a genuine respect for their fellow team members. I would like to encouraged them to continue the good work they are doing to keep the young people within our community active. They set good example for young and old. (Good role model for the community) .Seeing each member as an individual, and to find out more about them, visit Robin Hood Chase Learning Centre, and you’ll realise they are no ordinary young men with ordinary ideas. Their qualities are rare. They are on a mission, a mission which have grown into participation within communities by getting young ones learning new skills, finding jobs, gaining qualification in innumeracy and Literacy at Level 1 and 2, boosting their confidence , motivating and 65 . improving their employment ability, skills and experience. The media should be reporting more of the posi- tive aspect, on the community. Praise should be given where it is due. All the present staffs who are involved in making Robin Hood Chase Learning Centre Progres- sive should be accredited. What would be helpful is a larger place with Child-Care facilities to accommodate the amount of people coming in to use the facilities within the centre For shared success and good results authority should now give consideration for a sustainable funding for the Chase Neighbourhood learning Centre. It has done more to educate the mind, bring discipline, outstanding achievement for our young people more than any other, local groups around. 66 St Ann’s with Emmanuel Parish Church 67 This Building situated on the corner of South Alfred Street and Wood borough Road was once a Baptist Church from its membership sup- plied two Lord Mayors and a Sheriff in the Cen- tenary year 7/10 1975. The celebration include services in the evening of October 11th and the following day when the usual service was taken by the ministers. The church history begins on the 10th October 1875 when some members of Stony Street Baptist left to form a new church . 68 The Building as we know it came into Notting- ham St Ann’s in 1877 but it was not the one standing there now. Pakinistan's meeting in Nottingham have been told that the city Pakinistan’s Family League has bought the former Baptist Church for use as community centre. The Building is a land mark in the area with its clock tower, it will be open to all Nationalist said a spoke man for the league when it was bought. For some time the 800 members league a social welfare organisation has been meeting at rooms at the International Centre Mansfield Road. Now they have a permanent place of their own (Nottingham Evening Post 7/10/1975)- (16/1/1978 69 St Augustine’s of England Catholic Church, Woodborough Road in St Ann’s. Things you did not know about the St Augustine's Catholic Church of England. In 1876 the seed were sown for the present parish of St Augustine’s Catholic Church Woodbor- ough Road, when Bishop Bagshawe separated the Eastern part of the city from the Cathedral Parish. No dedication was given to this mission but it was centred on the Kent Street Schools, where Mass was said on Sundays. On the 22ND November 1876 the site on Woodbor- ough Road was acquired; it was a gift from the ever generous Mr, W.G Dobser of the Park Not- tingham. 70 In 1877 the Eastern part of the city was once again divided and the present pattern of the parish of St Augustine's of England began to emerge; although at this time it was join with the Blue Bell Mission and both were under the dedication of our lady Delours. In 1878 the Mission came under the care of Canon Monahan who came from the Cathedral Parish. He built a school chapel of corrugated iron on Woodborough Road site which was opened on the 12th of October 1879 with dedication of St August Augustine of England. The Duke of Norfolk contributed £300 and this possi- ble represents the entire cost of the building. In1880 a resident was found for the Priest at 177, Woodborough Road, and in 1883 the Blue Bell are was cut off from the parish –preliminary to the establishing of the present parish St Ed- wards. The Temporary Chapel was used for the next forty years until became so dilapidated that it was abandoned in 1922. The Sister of Nazareth House was on Crammer Street, and they also gave £25. per annum to the support of the first priest working in the area Fr-Connery who had lodgings at 39 Heskey Street. The sister Nazareth departed for Lenton in 1880 and of course established Nazareth House in Lenton. 71 The original chapel was also in used as a school from June 1880 and in 1889 the sisters of St Joseph of Peace were asked to take over the school. In 1892 the school was condemned as insufficient and in one monumental effort raised sufficient money to build a new school which was sited on Northville Street and open in1896.
