THE BELL PROJECT AT ST WILFRID'S CHURCH, GRAPPENHALLA programme of Restoration, Renewal and Augmentation of the Ring of Bells and The Ringing Environment whilst remembering our Heritage Grappenhall Bells having been ringing out across the parish for over 300 years and the Bell Ringers have devised a project that will ensure this continues for many years to come. The Bell Ringers are appealing for funds for a programme to augment, restore and renew the bell installation and ringing environment. The project will replace the worn-out Bell Frame with a new frame with a modern ring of 10 bells installed on this, pleasantly tuned to the modern ‘5 tone principle’. Our 4 oldest bells, dating back to 1700 will be retired from full circle ringing and lifted higher up the tower to be used for clock chimes and the service bell, which will be a much gentler use for such old bells. To assist with training and recruit retention, a ‘dumb bell’ or simulator will be installed as well as a CCTV System to enable the bells to be viewed from within the main body of the church by all. We aim to raise £175,000 to pay for the works, which will include making some much needed space in the Ringing Room. By doing so, the church clock mechanism will be relocated from the Ringing Room to the Belfry and the louvres will be blocked up internally to form a sound control system, to weather and pest- proof the Belfry and to exclude draughts.There is an unique opportunity to buy a bell and have an enduring inscription cast onto it. What better way could there be to remember loved ones or to mark a special occasion or even for company sponsorship? Please get in touch via our Facebook page, if you would like details, or alternatively contact our Tower Captain, Mike Thomson via email at [email protected] down simply, each bell ranges in cost according to size, with the smaller bells averaging out at £10,000 each and the largest at £20,000. In addition to that, there are fittings to each bell: wheel, £1,000, rope, £175, headstock £300, stay £45, slider £45 and muffle, £20 totalling an additional £1,600 per bell.Donations of any size will all be gratefully received. Please consider Gift Aid. Please use Debit Cards rather than credit cards to keep costs down.

Preserving the 400 year history of Stourbridge Glass. The British Glass Foundation is a new charity created in response to the prospective closure of Broadfield House Glass Museum. The Foundation -seeks to represent all other charities, organisations and individuals that have an interest in preserving our glass heritage.continues to raise the profile of the importance, locally, nationally and internationally, of the Dudley glass collections and archives.aims to work closely in partnership with Dudley Council, the principal custodian of the glass collections, to accomplish its objectives.is exploring other means to provide access to the collections and is liaising with the University of Wolverhampton to produce a digital record of the collections and archive. The Unique Importance Of Broadfield House Glass Museum The glass collections on display at Broadfield Houses Glass Museum, and in store at Himley Hall, represent one of the finest holdings of British 18th, 19th and 20th century glass in the world. Numbering some ten thousand items, the Collection includes stunning examples from every major period of glass production in this country, the highlight being cameo glass, the speciality of Stourbridge factories at the end of the 19th century. The Museum has benefited from major bequests especially that of Michael Parkington which extended and completed Broadfield’s collection of 18th century glass. The Museum has also saved iconic collections including that of the great 20th century glass designer Alexander Hardie Williamson.The Museum also owns important glass archive material e.g. pattern books from Stevens & Williams, Richardson’s and Thomas Webb & Sons, together with two major glass libraries from Robert J. Charleston, former Curator at the Victoria and Albert Museum, and H. Jack Haden, a local historian who amassed a valuable collection of local Stourbridge material, as well as many other documents, letters, photographs and films.The glass library owned by the Museum is one of the finest in the country and includes the complete microfiche catalogue of original glass catalogues owned by the Corning Museum of Glass in America, the only museum in this country to own this valuable research facility. Glass making equipment is collected to complement the glass and the archive collections. Notable pieces include the only surviving “Pull-Up” machine invented by John Northwood I in the 1880’s to decorate glass ware at Stevens & Williams, and a rare complete example of a Bohemian copper-wheel engraving lathe which was used by the great Joseph Keller. In the 1980’s the Museum rescued the foundations of an entire 17th century glass furnace from the estate of Sir Charles Wolseley near Rugeley, Staffordshire. Since it opened in 1980 Broadfield has pursued a vibrant and exciting policy of temporary exhibitions, often drawn from European and American collections and complements them with erudite and learned catalogues. This incredible combination of glass, archives, equipment and an active educational policy, justify Broadfield’s claim to be the “The Museum of The British Glass Industry”. Even now, some 400 years after glassmaking began in Stourbridge, its work continues.

Home Straight is a local non-profit organisation that was launched in 2011 to teach health and fitness to people who have found themselves homeless, marginalised, or suffer from substance misuse addictions by engaging them in a running community to build confidence, strength and self-esteem. We work with Turning Point and other hostels when they refer new members to us. The club is run by the members for the members, assisted by volunteers. We meet several times a week in the parks of central London for free training sessions focusing on running drills, running technique and endurance. The goal is primarily to get members fit for races and events, but fundamentally Home Straight offers much more than that...- It is a source of supportive camaraderie which gives members a new focus through the discipline of physical training. Members often have poor support structures, struggle to find work, and suffer from isolation. Boredom and loneliness are extremely risky for people recovering from mental illness and addiction. Home Straight gives participants a reason to get up in the morning It provides social support outside the training. The sense of achievement felt by those who join can be life-changing. In summary, Home Straight gives hope, structure and purpose to disadvantaged people, helping to improve confidence and self esteem, diet and health. It enables people to get together and bond by exercising in the open air. It changes people’s lives for the better, enabling them to get healthy and giving them the confidence to get into education, training and employment. Finally - we are funded by public donations and fundraisers, and we are working with a London university to undertake research on the effectiveness of the program.

Welcome to 3rd Farnham Scout Groups fund raising web site with the goal of raising the funds necessary for a much needed refurbishment and repair of its 200 year old headquarters, Daniel Hall, located in the centre of Farnham. Fund raising through grants and other activities has been very successful. Sue Hepburn and Robert Humphrey, who are leading the grant applications, have secured over £180k towards the £220k target. The major grants have come from Farnham Buildings Preservation Trust, SITA Trust and Surrey County Council Community Improvement Fund. Smaller but still vital grants have been gained from Betty Riseley Trust, Round table, Lions and Farnham Institute. This refurbishment is vital to ensure that the group continues to offer adventurous activities and personal development opportunities for young people in central and east Farnham. Without this work the group will not be able to continue its success in doubling its membership in the last 10 years. The repair and refurbishment will provide both structural and amenity improvements including the following: When refurbished, the hall will provide a community facility that is currently missing from the central town area. Background and History 3rd Farnham Scout Group has been established for over 100 years. Our approach focuses on: Daniel Hall has been part of Farnham’s heritage for over 200 years and is listed as a building of local historic significance. It has been a home for Scouting for over 80 years, the Scout Shop for over 30 years and, more recently, a home for a Girl Guiding Company. The Scout Shop provides a service across Surrey and Hampshire with all profits going to support Scouting in Farnham. The building started life supporting the brewing industry as a hop and grain store and latterly became a furniture store. In 1929 it became the new home for the 3rd Farnham Scout Group. The hall was named after Arthur Daniel who was Group Scout Leader at the time and who played a key role in raising the funds to buy the building.
Bradford Disability Services Limited, better known as Disability Advice Bradford (DaB) and Disability Equipment Bradford (DeB) is a long established and respected Registered Charity. The organization was first established as The Bradford Voluntary Action Group for Disabled Persons in 1979 as a result of five disabled people coming together to press for their rights and to overcome the discrimination in many aspects of daily life that can affect the lives of disabled people. The ‘office’ was a room in one of the founder member’s houses. Since then the charity has evolved in many ways but the organizations core values still remain the same. Our aim is to empower people with disabilities, carers and their families, living within the Bradford Metropolitan District, to achieve and lead a high quality of life within a modern and inclusive society. We will achieve this by providing professional, non-judgmental and confidential services that will facilitate and improve independent living and equality.
