You are a member of a special emergency response committee of the local Board of Governors and Directors of the Poor of St. James Parish, who have convened to respond to the deadly outbreak of Cholera that has claimed the lives of more than 500 parish residents over the preceding eight days. Historically, the outcome of this meeting was the decision to remove the pump handle from a contaminated neighborhood pump on Broad Street. This decision and the events leading up to it are considered a defining moment in the development of modern approaches to public health, epidemiology and municipal waste management. This role play is designed to highlight various aspects of the historical debate. In your role as a Board member, you and your colleagues will debate three central questions: • What is the source of this disease outbreak? • How is cholera communicated from person to person? • What steps should be taken to contain the outbreak? 1 You are asked to complete the following four tasks over the course of the role play: 1.

  • Soho and Chinatown Conservation Area Audit
    z CONSERVATION AREA CONSERVATION AUDIT Soho & Chinatown 14 54 z Conservation Area Audits Department of Planning and City Development Westminster City Hall Document ID No.: 2471 64 Victoria street Statue: SPG London SW1E 6QP PREFACE Since the designation of the first conservation areas in 1967 the City Council has undertaken a comprehensive programme of conservation area designation, extensions and policy development. There are now 54 conservation areas in Westminster, covering 76% of the City. These conservation areas are the subject of detailed policies in the Unitary Development Plan and in Supplementary Planning Guidance. In addition to the basic activity of designation and the formulation of general policy, the City Council is required to undertake conservation area appraisals and to devise local policies in order to protect the unique character of each area. Although this process was first undertaken with the various designation reports, more recent national guidance (as found in Planning Policy Guidance Note 15 and the English Heritage Conservation Area Practice and Conservation Area Appraisal documents) requires detailed appraisals of each conservation area in the form of formally approved and published documents. This enhanced process involves the review of original designation procedures and boundaries; analysis of historical development; identification of all listed buildings and those unlisted buildings making a positive contribution to an area; and the identification and description of key townscape features, including street patterns, trees, open spaces and building types. Given the number and complexity of Westminster’s conservation areas the appraisal process has been broken down into three stages, the first of which is complete. This first stage involved the publication of General Information Leaflets or mini-guides for each conservation area covering in brief a series of key categories including Designation, Historical Background, Listed Buildings and Key Features.

  • Trustee Recruitment Candidate Pack FINAL
    TRUSTEE RECRUITMENT CANDIDATE PACK 2018 Page 1 "I THOUGHT MY SIGHT WAS PERFECT, UNTIL THE HOUSE OF ST BARNABAS OPEN MY EYES TO A WORLD FULL OF POSSIBILITIES." John Smallshaw, Graduate and Employee Page 2 WELCOME WELCOME FROM OUR CHAIR, JENNY WATSON CBE Dear Candidate, Thank you for your interest in finding out more about Trustee roles at The House of St Barnabas, where we are committed to breaking the cycle of homelessness. We have ambitious plans and are excited to recruit new Trustees who will help us to make them a reality. The House has existed in one form or another since 1846 and from those origins we have inherited our beautiful Grade 1 listed building in Soho Square, together with a consecrated chapel from which we take our name. That’s quite a legacy on which to build. Our work today is informed by our belief that employment is one of the most effective routes out of homelessness. With that in mind, in the past few years we have created an ambitious new integrated social business model running a not-for-profit members’ club at No 1 Greek Street. The Club provides part funding for our charitable Employment Academy – and also a supportive environment where Graduates can get work experience and mentoring support as they go through our programme. We are proud to have been recognised as influential social pioneers by organisations such as The London Homelessness Awards, Nesta New Radicals and Social Enterprise UK. As we move from start-up mode to become a more established organisation, we know there is more we can do to understand our impact and improve our model.

    CHAPLAIN RECRUITMENT CANDIDATE PACK 2018 Page 1 "I THOUGHT MY SIGHT WAS PERFECT, UNTIL THE HOUSE OF ST BARNABAS OPENED MY EYES TO A WORLD FULL OF POSSIBILITIES." John Smallshaw, Graduate and Employee Page 2 WELCOME WELCOME FROM OUR CHAIR, JENNY WATSON CBE Our belief is that employment is one of the most effective routes out of homelessness and our mission is to create the strongest community of people who are invested in creating a fairer and more equal society, and a future where lasting work is a reality for people affected by homelessness. The House has existed in one form or another since 1846 and from those origins we have inherited two beautiful Grade I listed buildings in Soho Square, with links to Charles Dickens and Joseph Bazalgette, together with a consecrated chapel. The House of Charity (now The House of St Barnabas) was founded in 1846 by Dr Henry Monro and Roundel Palmer. They were motivated to do this as an act of Christian faith to provide individuals with timely help, and although the House was a Christian institution, it was open to all “regardless of colour, class or creed”. The building of the Chapel followed this, and the first services were held in 1864. We seek to build on this legacy. The house became a refuge as William Gladstone said, “for the waifs and strays of the turbid sea of human society”. It continued in use as a hostel until 2005 by which time it was no longer feasible to operate as such. Our truly inspiring home now houses the charity and our not-for-profit members’ club which has our drive for social change at its heart.

In Belgrade they had lived in student accommodation, the ‘Society for the Assistance to Former Pupils of the Kharkov Institute of the Empress Maria Feodorovna’ which was run by Maria Alexeevna Neklu- dova. While in London, they would study English and also sing in Eng- lish at Divine Liturgy served by Archimandrite Nicholas Gibbes, former English tutor to the Russian Royal Family. This is the story of what hap- pened to those women and how the Second World War impacted their fu- ture lives. The Choir Director was Maria Rodzianko, wife of Fr Vladimir Rodzianko, who in later years was appointed by Bishop Nicholai (Velimi- rovich) to be a priest in London.
