2009-10 Annual Report The PROSPECTS Foundation Hyndburn's community-owned environmental charity The PROSPECTS Foundation is an environmental charity, established by Hyndburn people in 1998, to help improve the quality of life for all Hyndburn communities and contribute local-level solutions to wider environmental problems. We achieve this through a supported network of groups and by working in innovative ways with a diverse range of organisations and partners for environmental, social and economic benefits. Our Mission To be the key movement in Hyndburn for environmental sustainability and to use our collective knowledge, skills, work and experience to secure this for current and future generations. Our Values: - We value our environment, both local and global, and respect its uniqueness and fragility. - We are committed to the principle of environmental sustainability. - We act as a catalyst for positive environmental change. - We believe in working collaboratively for our environment. - We believe that local people acting in their own right or collectively can reduce their carbon footprints by changing their behaviour and practices. - We are a people based organisation which is rooted in local d communities. - We seek to work for the benefit of all communities both present r and future. - We believe everyone has a positive contribution to make and we o are committed to equality of opportunity for all. - We work ethically. w Our Five Themes of Sustainability We focus on projects which meet our Five Themes of Sustainability. These e themes take account of both the local and global environment, and con- tribute to the mitigation of climate change. r Biodiversity - Protecting and enhancing local wildlife and plant life o Energy - Home and community energy efficiency and use of renewables Sustainable Transport - Encouraging cycling, walking and public transport F Waste and Recycling - Reducing, reusing and recycling our waste Local Food - Growing more local, organic, healthy food, grown by the community for the community. 2 Chairman’s Review 3 This is our first annual report to cover the period right up to date rather than just the formal year which ends in October. It should make it a bit less historical and more relevant. C It is always interesting at this time to reflect on world events as well as our own work. h The world’s climate change scientific establishment has suffered some bad press recently and there are some well organized and funded campaigns Phil Barwood a (Chairman) clearly aimed at discrediting the whole argument. The stakes are very high. Some surveys show a diminished public belief in the reality of climate change while energy security is to many people a theoretical notion. However some authorities forecast that the UK will start to experience regular power cuts as early as 2017. i r Public perception is a fickle thing. At the time of writing “peak oil” seems to be the origin of things giving rise to public concerns. For “peak oil” read “dirty oil”. The obvious topical event is the giant oil leak disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, causing colossal environmental m damage and social and economic hardship. Another is tar sands extraction, described as the world’s largest industrial capital project ever. In the vast pristine forests of western Canada an area the size of England has been devastated and the land polluted with highly toxic waste to get at this very low grade source of fossil fuel. There has been concerted campaigning against the companies responsible but the world is a fossil fuel addict. The a technological challenges, however, of exploiting ever less economic oil, gas and coal reserves safely and cleanly are clearly beyond human endeavour. It seems to me that to continue down this route will result in greater and worse catastrophes. n So I make no apology for repeating the mantra “Think global, act local”. Local food growing, recycling and re-use, energy efficiency, local renewable energy generation, habitat ’ improvement, access to nature and community enterprise all contribute to wider solutions s and strengthen the community. Without organisations similar to PROSPECTS much of this valuable work would not be done. The last eighteen months has been a period of considerable change for PROSPECTS. The Cultivate local food growing programme has gone from strength to strength and our Community Response to Climate Change project started. Both have encouraged interest R from many people new to PROSPECTS. The new Access to Nature funded Nature Walks in Hyndburn is now well under way with huge numbers of folk taking part. The Oswaldtwistle Moor Windfarm was granted planning permission in March this year and we should be able to launch the new Windfall community grant programme, using the associated funding, e within 18 months from now. Our social enterprise initiative is close to setting up four new community businesses with the One Planet retail co-operative recently formed. v Prosperity Recycling Ltd, our community business, has survived a tough time over the past eighteen months. Now under new management, the company continues to strive to deliver the environmental and social benefits which are its great strength. Because Prosperity is i now wholly owned by PROSPECTS, we are required for the first time to include Prosperity’s e accounts with the Charity’s accounts. PROSPECTS also now supports Hyndburn Used Furniture Store, a charity that recycles household goods and helps people in need. Without our dedicated staff team and committed trustees none of this would of course be w possible, so many many thanks to all. This year I want to say particular thanks also to Hyndburn Council who have been especially helpful in a variety of ways these past few months. As usual, future funding will continue to be a priority in coming months and we have some crucial decisions to make. Also the new enterprises will need capable support and management, so we are always looking for new people able to become trustees. I think the three key words that sum up PROSPECTS are environment, community and innovation. We are fortunate to be able to support such a willing band of volunteers in a whole variety of activities. Long may they prosper! RECENT ACHIEVEMENTS s Last year, we recorded 9,099 hours of volunteer time given by local people to Prospects projects, valued at £68,243 in kind contribution. t Our three-year Community Outreach Programme was completed in 2009. During the n programme, we supported 1081 different volunteers, and worked with 65 local commu- nity groups on environmental projects. We successfully targeted hard-to-reach groups, including young people, people with a disability, ethnic minorities, older people, and e people living in areas with very high levels of deprivation. 316 people benefited from training, improving their skills and self-confidence. 49 local environmental projects were delivered based on sustainability principles and improving the local area. m Our Social Enterprise Development Initiative identified 4 environmentally-based poten- tial new social enterprises which will benefit people living in the most deprived areas of e Hyndburn. These are now undergoing development. v Through our Cultivate Community Food-Growing project, 1316 local people benefited from involvement in food-growing activity, ranging from planting a few seeds in the classroom, to taking on an allotment for the first time. 94 people attended courses in e organic food-growing. Improvements were made to several of Hyndburn’s allotments, i resulting in three times as many local people taking on an allotment since the project started, compared to the average for the previous four years. h We were successful in securing funding for two exciting new projects, both of which commenced recently, as follows…. - ‘Community Response to Climate Change’ will support local people to c develop their own low carbon projects, and to live more sustainable lifestyles; - ‘Nature Walks in Hyndburn’ will give people the opportunity to engage with A nature and wildlife locally, through nature walks, conservation activities, and training. Our proposed Environmental Business Park on land the charity owns at Coach Road Meadows was successful in getting planning permission. This demonstration project will t deliver best practice in environmentally sustainable design, construction and operation. The Charity has improved its position for future years by securing a highly beneficial n agreement with EnergieKontor, who have obtained planning permission to build a wind- farm in Hyndburn. Once the turbines start to produce electricity late in 2011, the e Prospects Foundation will receive a Community Fund, worth over £100,000 per year for 25 years, to support local community groups in the delivery of sustainability projects. c Our wholly owned social enterprise ‘Prosperity Recycling Ltd.’ continued to manufacture and trade in recycled plastic products, to employ eleven staff, and to train unemployed adults who have a learning disability, in spite of the changing economic climate which e has affected many manufacturing businesses. An extensive Evaluation of our project work in 2009 led to some very positive feedback R from volunteers, community groups and partners we work with. As one group put it: “The Prospects model is very effective in sowing the seeds and letting the wider com- munity get on with it and learn and develop their own skills”. 4 Rishton Prospects Panel 5 The Rishton Prospects Panel have as usual been very active in making environmental improvements in Rishton. They created a living willow bower and seat in Cut Wood Park, and worked with the “green team” from Norden P School to plant oak trees and bulbs. New ‘dead hedging’ was created, and a previously planted wildflower meadow was maintained and the plants identified. For several years, local volunteers have worked to improve r Rishton Railway Station which they ‘adopted’, and have created attractive plantings for ‘Rishton in Bloom’.

  • Lancashire: a Chronology of Flash Flooding
    LANCASHIRE: A CHRONOLOGY OF FLASH FLOODING Introduction The past focus on the history of flooding has been mainly with respect to flooding from the overflow of rivers and with respect to the peak level that these floods have achieved. The Chronology of British Hydrological Events provides a reasonably comprehensive record of such events throughout Great Britain. Over the last 60 years the river gauging network provides a detailed record of the occurrence of river flows and peak levels and flows are summaried in HiflowsUK. However there has been recent recognition that much flooding of property occurs from surface water flooding, often far from rivers. Locally intense rainfall causes severe flooding of property and land as water concentrates and finds pathways along roads and depressions in the landscape. In addition, intense rainfall can also cause rapid rise in level and discharge in rivers causing a danger to the public even though the associated peak level is not critical. In extreme cases rapid rise in river level may be manifested as a ‘wall of water’ with near instantaneous rise in level of a metre or more. Such events are usually convective and may be accompanied by destructive hail or cause severe erosion of hillsides and agricultural land. There have been no previous compilations of historical records of such ‘flash floods’or even of more recent occurrences. It is therefore difficult to judge whether a recent event is unusual or even unique in terms of the level reached at a particular location or more broadly of regional severity. This chronology of flash floods is provided in order to enable comparisons to be made between recent and historical floods, to judge rarity and from a practical point of view to assess the adequacy of urban drainage networks.
