The Pink Glove Dance

Emily (MacInnes) Somers, created, directed and choreographed this in Portland last week for her Medline glove division as a fundraiser for breast cancer awareness. This was all her idea to help promote their new pink gloves. I don't know how she got so many employees, doctors and patients to participate, but it started to really catch on and they all had a lot of fun doing it.

When the video gets 1 million hits, Medline will be making a huge contribution to the hospital, as well as offering free mammograms for the community. Please check it out. It's an easy and great way to donate to a wonderful cause, and who hasn't been touched by breast cancer? Watch the Video here

Charismatic Theologians or Religious Practitioners

BBC searches for charismatic Theologians or religious practitioners who could be interested in working with us in an ‘on screen’ presenting role for our new programmes in 2010/2011.

I am currently working in Development for Religion and Ethics for the BBC, where we make fantastic factual series like Around the World in 80 Faiths, Did God Kill Darwin? Missing Presumed Married, Extreme Pilgrim, A History of Christianity and Gandhi.

I am hoping to find a person who is able to express their ideas clearly and who is comfortable explaining complicated concepts in a straightforward manner. Someone who can engage with interviewees, who is able to understand and appreciate different and potentially opposing perspectives on issues, who is able to empathise and where necessary challenge.

We would welcome interest from people of all religions and from all parts of the community, we’re looking for a person of faith, who has an engaging personality and an inquiring mind and who is willing to embrace new challenges.

I'd be very grateful if people who are interested could send me a covering letter by email, a current photograph and a link if there is video content available of them speaking on the web.

BT GETS COMMUNITIES ONLINE IN LONDON

Award scheme gives community groups in the region the chance to move into the digital world

btBT has launched a new round of its BT Community Connections (BTCC) award scheme to help people get online in London.

Community and charitable groups in the region are being invited to apply for BTCC Awards, which include a laptop and a year’s broadband internet connection. Groups can also apply together for a BTCC Cluster Award to each receive additional packages of IT equipment.

Whilst the internet has become a crucial aspect of daily life for the majority*, many people are still missing out on the opportunities to email, network, find training, secure a job and access vital services provided by the web. About a third of all people in the country are considered to be ‘digitally excluded’.

BT believes that enhanced communications help create a fairer, more inclusive society where everybody has the opportunity to participate, benefit and contribute. The award scheme enables groups already working within communities to get online and experience the benefits of the internet, helping them to build capacity and encourage their members to support each other in their own digital journeys.

To apply simply log on to www.btcommunityconnections.com or write to PO Box 6919, London W1A 8UX to request an application form.

Beth Courtier, head of BT’s charity programme, said: “BT Community Connections remains a key element of our strategy to help people take full advantage of the huge benefits offered by the internet. In today’s digital world, exclusion from the internet has become a key facet of social exclusion. We are very proud to be at the forefront of empowering local communities, by providing these highly successful awards across the whole of the UK.

“We are constantly learning, refining and enhancing the scheme and are delighted to announce the addition of the new cluster awards. These are to encourage further networking and knowledge transfer within the voluntary sector.”

SOUTHALL BLACK SISTERS NO RECOURSE FUND

Women fleeing domestic violence desperately need emergency accommodation, support and protection. However those subject to the ‘no recourse to public funds’, because of their insecure immigration status (i.e. they are not UK residents), cannot access any form of emergency accommodation, including refuges, as they are not able to claim housing benefit, income support and other state benefits. They are also prohibited from accessing any form of social housing through the local authority. The result is that they are faced with stark choices: leave and face destitution or stay and risk their lives.

In recognition of the plight of hundreds of women and children in this situation, Southall Black Sisters, have, with funds provided by London Councils and the charity Oxfam, set up a small ‘last resort fund’ called the ‘SBS No Recourse Fund’ (SBS NRF). The fund will be used to help accommodate and provide subsistence costs for a limited period for women who have experienced domestic violence and have insecure immigration status with no recourse to public funds. The funds will also be used to help women who are victims of trafficking and prostitution.

The funds will be allocated in the following way:

Funds from London Councils will be used to cover emergency housing costs and living expenses for women and children in London

Funds from Oxfam will cover emergency housing and living expenses for women and children outside London.

Please note that the SBS No Recourse Fund is a last resort fund. The funds will only be open to non-governmental organisations. The overall funds available are severely limited and will only be provided where organisation give a commitment to assist women to pursue other avenues of financial assistance, including legal proceedings against local authorities. The No Recourse Funds will not be released if organisations fail, during the period of NRF funding from SBS, to assist women to obtain alternative funding.

The No Recourse Fund will cover the costs of emergency accommodation and other basic living expenses to enable women and children to access places of safety such as a refuge pending more long-term arrangements for housing and living expenses. SBS can assist you through this process.

The fund will pay accommodation and subsistence costs of up to £30 per week for an adult and £10 per week for a child.

Single women will be assisted for a maximum of 6 weeks.

Women with children will be assisted for one week.

Application Packs

Please contact SBS for an application pack, which sets out the criteria and conditions of eligibility in more detail You can also download the application pack from the SBS website: www.southallblacksisters.org.uk

Please also feel free to contact SBS if you need advice and assistance in pursuing other sources of funding for women.

SBS will also be running training courses on domestic violence, immigration and no recourse in 2009. Details will be posted on our website and sent via email in the New Year.

We would not normally cover the total cost but supply funding as part of a mixture of finance (which can be raised from other sources, eg: grants, funding from Banks or Community Development Finance Institutions). We will assess each investment individually, but intend mentoring, business advice and support to play an equal part with funding in our investment.

We welcome applications from any organisation that meets our core criteria, but we are particularly interested in hearing from:

  • Organisations that are or could become Community Anchors*
  • Organisations led by members of Black and or Minority Ethnic communities (BME).
  • Rural organisations.
  • Organisations that are pioneering new ways of working.
  • Organisations that can demonstrate excellence in what they do and inspire best practise in others, for example, some of our investors act as mentors.

*Community Anchor – the Home Office defines Community Anchor organisations as having four key features:

  • They are controlled by local residents and/or representatives of local groups.
  • They address the needs of their area in a multi–purpose, holistic way.

The Centre for Caribbean Studies, located within the Department of
English & Comparative Literature at Goldsmiths, University of London,
aims to promote interdisciplinary work within Caribbean Studies and to
develop the study of Caribbean literature.


The Centre for Caribbean Studies is offering a relatively new post
graduate course - the 'MA Caribbean Literature and Creole Poetics'. It
is a unique course in the very vibrant field of Caribbean studies. What
sets it apart, certainly in the UK, is that it offers an integrated
literary, critical and linguistic approach to the study of writing
emerging from the Caribbean space and its diaspora. Integral to the
course is the unique opportunity for students to learn a Creole (in
recent years this has been Haitian Creole) and to use the insights
gained from this experience to secure a 'lived' perspective on issues
of language, voicing and representation. The course is now in its third
year and its students have secured significant success, with several
having moved on to PhD study in the field.

Should prospective applicants wish to learn more, our website is
http://www.goldsmiths.ac.uk/caribbean/
Dr Joan Anim- Addo shall, of course, be delighted to discuss the course
with interested students.

As a young course we are always looking for ways to raise our profile
and let potential students know of the option we represent.
