Why do we wear poppies?
November commemorates the month we remember all those who have lost their lives to conflicts across the world throughout history. As a sign to show we are thinking of all those lost to conflicts, many people wear a small red poppy. The poppies are sold as part of the Poppy Appeal that raises money for the Royal British Legion, an organisation that helps those impacted by conflicts and all the servicemen and women who are still alive today and lives were changed by wars they thought in. Why do we wear poppies? The notion of wearing a poppy originates back to World War One when the flower began to grow in the battlefields soldiers lost their lives in. But the poppy wasn’t made a popular way to remember the brave until the famous World War One poem ‘In Flanders Fields’ was written by John McCrae. Since then, the poppy has become a symbol of remembering everyone who gave their lives to wars, but also to those who have died on behalf of their country. 4
When do you wear a poppy? If you chose to wear a poppy to remember those lost to conflicts and wars, the British Legion asks to do it through the Remembrance period. Starting on the last Friday of October until November 11. However, the Legion does encourage to wear them at funerals of Veterans and commemorative events such as memorial service’s. What do the different coloured poppies mean? Although red is the most commonly worn remembrance poppy, there is a choice of colours that all represent a different meaning. Purple Poppy The purple poppy is worn to remember all the animals that have been a victim of war.
Such as the horses, dogs, and pigeons used during the war effort, in particular for World War One. Donations to the Purple Poppy Appeal, organised by the War House Memorial all go towards charities like World Horse Welfare and the animal charity Blue Cross. Black Poppy The black poppy commemorates the black, African, and Caribbean communities' contributions to the war effort, as service people and civilians.
It was launched back in 2010 by Selena Carty who says it's "A symbol that signifies pride, honour and glory, with the hope that future generations will be inspired by these largely untold historical legacies". White Poppy The white poppy remembers those who died in conflict towards the end of a war.
Some people choose to wear the white poppy as they feel the red poppy glorifies conflict and wars. The poppy is handed out by the Charity Peace Pledge Union that wants to promote peace and change the way the world looks at war. 5

Sesame Street Day
There are very few people in the world aged fifty years old or less who have not been impacted by Sesame Street in their childhood years. So, it only makes sense that Sesame Street Day was created to celebrate the tremendous influence that this maverick television program has had upon the lives of so many people around the world. History of Sesame Street Day Sesame Street Day was first established in 2009 to celebrate the fortieth anniversary of the show’s original broadcast. While initiated in New York City, it should come as no great surprise that this occasion is now recognized by tens of thousands of individuals from all over the planet. In fact, the number of followers for this particular day continues to grow each year. Beginning in 1969 in the United States, Sesame Street is a creation of the Children’s Television Workshop (CTW), which is broadcast on the Public Broadcasing Service (PBS). It’s an educational series that combines live actors with animation as w ell as special puppets by Jim Henson, known as “Muppets”.
Many of the recurring characters have remained with the show for many years, particularly Kermit the Frog, friends Ernie and Bert, Big Bird and Cookie Monster. Elmo came into the scene in the mid-80s and many more characters have joined since then as well. Through short vignettes, songs, skits and cameo appearances, the show seeks to create educational opportunities for children of all ages by fostering learning, engaging their minds, building social skills, promoting self-esteem and offering basic academic skills. 6
While the finances of the show started out as a collaboration between government and private corporations, they have become mostly financially independent due to their licensing agreements and corporate deals that help to keep the show alive. Over the years, Sesame Street has hosted hundreds of famous guests. It all started with James Earl Jones back in 1969, going through the alphabet in delightful voices. Since then, over 800 guest stars have joined the show including politicians (President Bill Clinton), musicians (New York Philharmonic), journalists (Katie Courick), actors (John Krasinski), athletes (Michael Phelps) and so many more. In the more than 50 years since its inception, Sesame Street has gained quite the following with The first international version of the show didn’t take long to come about, which was in Brazil in 1972, just three years after the original show aired. It is broadcast in more than 140 countries in at least 70 languages, and has over 30 different international versions that are adapted to local cultures and issues. And all of it is with the intention of creating healthy, happy, well-rounded kids who are engaged in learning and life. How to Celebrate Sesame Street Day Commemorating Sesame Street Day has no real conventions, so everyone can choose to celebrate it as they see personally fit! But here are some interesting ideas for ways to get in the spirit and celebrate the day:
Enjoy Some Sesame Street Episodes Some people might wish to relive your youth by watching old episodes of the show. Others might want to grab a child or grandchild and watch some of the newer versions of the show that have a modern take. Because it has been airing since 1969, the show has released more than 4,500 episodes that cover all kinds of subjects that are appropriate for kids but also entertaining for adults.
Just because it’s a kids’ show doesn’t mean there aren’t important and serious topics to be discovered that adults can also benefit from. Topics have ranged from how to deal with feelings to dealing with divorce, from children in foster care to being HIV positive, from dealing with grief and loss to homelessness, and just about everything in between. Watch Sesame Street Feature Films While they’re mostly known for their thousands of episodes that air on television most every day, Sesame Street also made it to the big screen a couple of times and these movies can now be found on dvd or online. Grab a Cookie Monster T-shirt or complete Big Bird costume and wear it to enjoy the day. No matter what is chosen, Sesame Street Day is a true celebration of the importance of valuing children and reaching them on their level.
The first was a film featuring Sesame Street’s largest character, Big Bird. In the musical road-comedy, Follow That Bird (1985), Big Bird faces a crisis when is sent away from Sesame Street to live with a family of actual birds, but he runs away and heads back home to Sesame Street. The second film zoomed in on the Street’s beloved furry red character, Elmo. Released in 1999, The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland was a musical adventure comedy that tells the story of how Elmo, in search of his missing blanket, ended up in the world at the bottom of Oscar the Grouch’s trash can. Get Some Sesame Street Merch Head to the local toy store and pick out a favourite Muppet toy or other Sesame Street character item. Fisher Price Little People Sets were produced many years ago and now the licensing has been picked up by Lego. Plus toys, puppets, greeting cards, games, books, figurines, party decor, clothing, pajamas, household items and pretty much everything else can be found in support of this delightful show.

Fluorescent Smogg presents ‘Chikyu’ A 21 colour screen print with artist Taku Obata
Fluorescent Smogg are proud to present ‘Chikyu’ - a 21 colour screen print from Japanese artist Taku Obata.
Whether carving from a single block of wood or mounds of paint; Taku considers his process to be one of ‘sculptural’ thinking.
Taku Obata is a multidisciplinary artist spanning sculpture, painting and print making. With his playful approach, Taku transitions seamlessly between figurative and abstract styles with compositions inspired by history, nature and culture. Fusing traditional Japanese techniques with contemporary arts practice, he forges dynamic and surprising compositions, the largest of which is this production with UK based print house, Fluorescent Smogg.
Taku continues: “It's on canvas, but what I'm doing is sculpture. Considering the paint as 'volume' and moving that 'volume' around in the same way as sculpture” Fluorescent Smogg said:
“Taku’s mark making is totally unique and for us, an almost direct translation of his sculptural 2D work process. With this release we want to capture his mark making as closely as possible. To achieve that we utiArtist, Taku Obata, said of the silkscreen lised cutting edge technology within prints: printmaking to edition an original piece of Taku’s work at a 1:1 scale. The detail in the “This edition of 21 colour silkscreen prints was reproduction is truly incredible and we’re very exciting to make; I've never seen a proud to say that this looks more like an silkscreen print of this scale with so many original than anything we’ve created before.” layers. I visited the print studio in England and was very surprised and impressed at The edition now via Fluorescent Smogg: the printing technology and machinery. To www.fluorescentsmogg.com enhance the edition, I have also hand finished 10 copies to make this part of the edition completely unique.” 10

WEEKEND OF EVENTS MARKS BRISTOL’S LINK WITH HMS PRINCE OF WALES
Officers and crew members from HMS PRINCE OF WALES will be visiting Bristol in December to mark the ship’s affiliation with the city.
HMS PRINCE OF WALES is one of the Royal Navy’s fifth generation aircraft carriers, one of the most powerful surface warships ever constructed in the UK.
The aircraft carrier’s White Ensign will be “laid up” in Bristol Cathedral in a special Evensong service on Sunday December 12. Attending will be Mrs Peaches Golding OBE, Her Majesty’s Lord-Lieutenant of Bristol, who represents the Queen in the city; Commanding Officer Steve Higham and civic representatives from the City of Bristol.
Her flight deck is 70 metres wide and 280 metres long – enough space for three football pitches – and she holds 45 days’ worth of food in stores. She has a minimum crew of around 700, increasing to around 1,600 with aircraft onboard.
An event when business leaders can meet with Royal Navy representatives from the ship is being organised by Business West for Tuesday December 7 at Ashton Gate Stadium.
Because of her size she is unable to come into the centre of Bristol but the Commanding Officer and crew see Bristol as an important part of its maritime links on shore.
A limited number of tickets for the formal dinner on the ss Great Britain are available by emailing welcome@lordltbristol.org.uk by Tickets are also on sale for a drinks reception November 5. Further information about the and formal dinner on board the ss Great affiliation can be found by clicking the image Britain in Bristol on Saturday December 11. above. Mrs Peaches Golding said: “This affiliation with HMS Prince of Wales is important as it keeps Bristol’s maritime heritage alive. There will be a series of events in the city at the beginning of December. Arrangements are still being made but we are hoping that there will be some music from the Band of the Royal Marines and gig racing in the City Docks.” 12

Bristol Beacon unveils ‘A New Song For Bristol’ artwork The final expression of Bristol Beacon’s landmark ‘A New Song For Bristol’ project has been unveiled. The 42ft artwork that has been installed on the outside of the building, created by Bristol artist Parys Gardener, takes inspiration from the stories and artistic work submitted to the project. Bristol Beacon launched 'A New Song for Bristol' in 2020 calling on the public to convey their experiences of living in Bristol during the pandemic through words and music. It received hundreds of entries from Bristolians of all ages, communities, and backgrounds, from poetry and letters to fully fledged songs and music videos, spanning a huge range of experiences, topics and emotions. The result was a string of collabo rations between local artists and members of Bristol communities.
“For this project, I was visualising the stories I was being told. A lot of the pieces were vulnerable, and some were heavy and raw, so it was a real challenge and responsibility to find the joy, whilst recognising people’s real lived experience in what was a difficult time.” “I printed out lots of the written submissions and listened to audio tracks. Using highlighters and biros, I started drawing images in my head and created lots of mucky sketches. Over time I could see how to combine stories and bring everything together organically. That’s how I landed on the flowers. They’re organic and alive and beautiful.”
The 'A New Song for Bristol' project has brought about collaborations with a diverse range of Bristol artists and collectives, including Kayla Painter and KALA CHNG, This is the Kit and Bucky, Lady Nade, Javeon, These pieces have now inspired the huge Grove, and composer, musician and artwork which has been applied to the glass associate director of Paraorchestra, Lloyd frontage of the distinctive Bristol Beacon foyer Coleman. building and will be in place for Autumn.

Bristol unveils budget plans for 2022-2023 As local authorities up and down the country face unprecedented financial pressures, Bristol City Council is calling for a city-wide approach to help bridge a £23m budget gap. A consultation will launch on Friday to seek the public’s views to mitigate the shortfall, which is linked to the pandemic and increasing social care costs. This includes options for council tax levels and social care precept, while the council also looks to become more efficient to reduce costs.
The council is considering the following areas to make savings, and will further consult on these if any changes are proposed: 1. Reviewing all property owned by the council, deciding are we making best use of it and is it being run efficiently. 2. Make the council more business-like, for example by charging the going market rate for chargeable services, and seeking grant/ external funding for services.
Deputy Mayor with responsibility for Finance, Governance and Performance, Cllr Craig Cheney, said: “There remains a significant financial challenge for the coming year and Bristol is not alone. The local picture in Bristol reflects the national one as the public sector is squeezed like never before.
3. Improve efficiency by potentially joining up some council services, removing unnecessary duplication, and getting best value from our suppliers.
“Reduced Government funding comes at a time when need has never been greater as people face housing, care, mental health and employment crises. Our biggest expenditure is social care services, and demand and costs for care services has increased.
5. Reducing the need for direct services by helping to enable other organisations, communities, and individuals to take things on.
“Setting a budget for the next year is a complex task and we are looking at all ways we can drive down costs and work more efficiently while continuing to provide the services our citizens value.”
The budget consultation starts on Friday 5 November and is open until Friday 17 December. A link will be published on the council’s website, and paper copies will also be made available.
20
4. Making more use of digital technology to help remove or reduce costs.
6. Redesigning, reducing or stopping services where this is feasible.

Castle Batch monument uncovered Work to uncover an historic monument at Castle Batch in Worle has taken place. Castle Batch is named after the earthen mound in the centre of the area of open space which is a medieval motte castle. Motte castles, introduced into Britain by the Normans, acted as garrison forts during offensive military operations, as strongholds and, in many cases, as aristocratic residences and as centres of local or royal administration. Built in towns, villages and open countryside, they generally occupied strategic positions dominating their immediate locality and, as a result, are the most visually impressive monuments of the early post-Conquest period surviving in the modern landscape. "As owner of this Scheduled Monument we have a duty to look after the site," said Cllr Mike Solomon, North Somerset Council's executive member for neighbourhoods and community services.
22
"Over recent years scrub growth on the motte has increased and had reached a point where much of it needed to be removed to ensure no damage is caused to the archaeology by plant and tree roots." The council's contractors Glendale have recently completed extensive vegetation cl earance, which has resulted in the motte being uncovered and the monument’s features being more visible. The site will now be assessed by the council’s Senior Archaeologist and Natural Environment team, in collaboration with Historic England, to prevent further damage to this important historic feature. Mel Barge, Inspector of Ancient Monuments for Historic England, said: "This work is needed to look after this important site and we are working with North Somerset Council to improve the site to protect it for future generations to enjoy." Anyone with any questions about the site should email DM.Archaeology@n-somerset. gov.uk.

JOS & ANDREW REPORTING LOCAL ISSUES
Dead hedging in Arnos Court Park:
War Memorial decorated:
One of our election promises was to work hard to promote and protect our green spaces, so it was great to join fellow Friends of Arnos Court Park on Friday for a dead hedging session. These natural fences will hopefully protect areas of the woodland at the top of the park from erosion and create wildlife habitats and improve biodiversity. With the help of the parks department we also installed several bat and bird boxes. Next month our new A4 perimeter hedge will be planted with the help of local schoolchildren. Next year will see our new wildflower meadow and new community orchard. Why not join the Friends here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/7187 08475350789/?ref=share
Once again we have decorated our local war memorial with hundreds of knitted poppies, making it the best dressed war memorial in Bristol! We’ll leave the poppies in place for the next three weeks.
Save Jubilee Pool: Compared to many other UK core cities, Bristol has fewer swimming pools per head of population. Despite this, our local swimming pool is still at risk of closure. Bristol City Council is currently consulting on its leisure facilities and every option has the pool to close. Please complete the Leisure Facility Investment Strategy survey and tell them why you strongly disagree with their approach and why they should reconsider the fate of Jubilee Pool. The survey closes this week on 7 November: https://bristol.citizenspace.com/public-health/ leisure-facilities-investment-strategy/ 24
Brislington Hill & Bristol Hill action plan: Thank you to the local residents who joined us at an online event to discuss improvements to one of our local shopping areas, Brislington Village. Filling vacant premises, diversifying what’s on offer, improving the appearance, greening spaces and cultural activities will all help to increase the number of people visiting and using this location. Council officers will be using the information gathered to develop an action plan for the area. If you missed the online session and would like to add your voice, the Council has extended the deadline of the City Centre & High Streets Recovery survey until 8 November: https://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/BristolHighStreetRecovery Planning application for Nightingale Valley: Due to its high profile location on the edge of the Nightingale Valley, local residents may be interested in a new planning application on St. Anne’s Terrace.
The application involves demolition work and the erection of 4 new dwellings and the conversion and extension of an existing annexe to form a new dwelling. Further details can be found on the Council’s Planning Portal, where comments in support or opposition to the proposed scheme can be submitted. Planning Application: 21/04834/F https://pa.bristol.gov.uk/online-applications/ applicationDetails.do?activeTab=summary&keyVal=QZ0PTRDNJA100 Reporting local issues: We want to live in a beautiful, clean and tidy area and so regularly report blocked drains, overhanging foliage, obscured signage, fly tipping, etc to council officers.

Additional funding for regeneration
Bristol City Council’s Cabinet will consider a request to bid for and spend up to £14.3m of funding to deliver strategic highway, public realm, river restoration and flood alleviation works at Bedminster Green. If approved, the funding would help to ensure that the transformation of Bedminster Green – which will see over 2,000 new homes built, including affordable homes and student accommodation – also responds to the climate and ecological emergencies by creating sustainable transport connections, enhanced public spaces and increased flood storage capacity. Transport improvements would include a new bus lane on the A38, wider footpaths and improved cycling routes that will connect with existing routes through and near Bedminster Green, improving sustainable travel connections with the city centre, Bristol Airport and East Street. New planting, sustainable drainage and flood measures would help to future-proof the area for a changing climate. The proposed works, which were strongly supported in a public consultation earlier this year, would also deliver a restored and re-naturalised River Malago. The river will be brought back above ground, making it more visible to local people and providing a place for wildlife to thrive, while also creating a place for flood waters to be stored, improving flood resilience in the area.
26
The request to Cabinet comes after an initial in-principle allocation of up to £6m Strategic Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) funding by Cabinet in March 2019. This allocation was based on the high-level information that was available at the time. Following detailed designs and cost analysis, the council now has a clear idea of the funds needed to deliver this work, which will begin on site in 2022. Marvin Rees, Mayor of Bristol, said: “Bedminster Green is a significant opportunity to bring much-needed new homes to south Bristol, alongside sustainable transport links and improved public spaces, including a revitalised River Malago. If approved by Cabinet this funding would enable these crucial works to progress in the coming months, driving forward the regeneration of the area in a way that also responds to the climate and ecological emergencies.” Funding is proposed to come from the City Region Sustainable Transport Settlement (CRSTS), with a bid currently being considered by central government, and the £6m CIL approved by Cabinet in 2019 proposed as match funding. The CRSTS will allocate significant funds to the west of England region. The council is confident that the Bedminster Green project is a suitable candidate for CRSTS funding because plans are at an advanced stage and the money will enable sustainable growth and improve strategic transport links across the city. An announcement on the funding allocation from the Department for Transport is expected later in the Autumn.

Bristol spaces to get £27k makeover Sovereign Housing Association is working alongside Bristol residents to transform the outdoor spaces around where they live.
“They’ve been motivated by how they have been listened to and it’s really encouraging to see the enthusiasm displayed by the team behind YCYC.”
Three projects, submitted by locals in Easton, Fishponds and Westbury-on-Trym, will receive a share of over £27k from Sovereign’s Your Community Your Choice (YCYC) programme.
College Court in Fishponds will see a great change to its outdoor space.
YCYC lets people submit their project proposals and the public then gets to vote on which ones they think should receive funding and Sovereign’s support. Residents from 113 homes will benefit. Kiln Court in Easton will see its communal garden converted into a haven for residents and wildlife alike. Residents will be able to grow their own food in new vegetable planters and take a rest from gardening on recycled plastic benches. A bug hotel will be added, to give bees and other insects that contribute to the local ecosystem a safe space to stay, lay eggs and hide from predators. Fencing will also be fitted to the front, to create more privacy, and a barbeque area installed so neighbors can enjoy meals together. Jordan Edgecombe, Support Worker for Second Step who manage Kiln Court, said: “The project will transform our garden space into an outstanding communal area that is conducive to the continued wellbeing of our residents. 28
Gone will be a disused gravel area, nicknamed ‘the beach’, and in its place will be decorative trees and shrubs. Lavender plants and bug hotels will be placed throughout the estate and recycled plastic benches installed in green areas. Alan and Marie, who submitted the idea to YCYC, said: “It’s good news on ‘the beach’ upgrade, which we’ve been asking for, and its due to Your Community Your Choice we have been successful.” Llewellyn Court in Westbury-on -Trym is surrounded by green areas, so residents wanted to utilise them to create a private sanctuary for everyone living there. A new fence and gate will encompass extensive changes to the layout of the gardens, and neighbours can enjoy nature together, surrounded by flowers, home grown vegetables, and wildlife using the new bird box and bug hotel. Daisy Mummery, Community Development Officer at Sovereign, who’s managed the YCYC project, said: “It was great working with the residents to develop these ideas. “I’m really looking forward to seeing how they’ll benefit everyone, with works completing in the next two months.”

Ten ways to cut your food waste to help save the planet We throw away 7 million tonnes of food and drink from our homes every year, much of which could have been eaten. It's costing us £12.5bn a year and is bad for the environment too. Here is 10 top tips for reducing food waste. 1. Check your fridge temperature It should be between 0-5C. Food, especially milk, will go off much quicker if it’s warmer. 2. Use your fridge wisely Some foods keep better outside the fridge. This includes bread (keep it in a cool dark place like a bread bin or cupboard), bananas, pineapples, potatoes and onions. 3. Love your list Make a shopping list (the easiest way is to keep it in the kitchen and add to it as you think of things) and stick to it when you go shopping. Plan ahead and shop with specific meals in mind. 4. Water your veg Keep the stems of vegetables such as broccoli, celery and asparagus in water to help them stay fresh and crisp. 5. Freeze your 5 a day Got fresh fruit and veg that you can’t use in time? Why not freeze them? Some fruit and veg will lose their texture when frozen – you can deal with this by freezing them pureed or stewed. This applies to tomatoes (use the puree for pasta dishes or pizza), strawberries (use the puree in smoothies or as a sauce for other fresh fruit) and apples (use stewed apple on your porridge or muesli, or as the base for a fruit crumble).
30
6. …and freeze leftovers Many leftovers and chilled convenience meals freeze well too. If you’ve made something like pasta or rice with a sauce, freezing the sauce separately will work better. 7. Measure your portions Reduce waste by cooking only the amount you need. Measuring takes away the guesswork and makes it more likely you’ll get the right amount. 8. Sauces and dips Lots of leftovers can be made into sauces or dips. If you’ve got leftover beans or pulses (either that you’ve cooked yourself or from a tin), mash or blend with some garlic, lemon juice and herbs for a hummus-style dip (don’t try this with baked beans, unless you rinse them thoroughly first). Slightly over-ripe avocados are great for guacamole, and tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers which need using can go into home-made salsa. 9. Freeze dairy products Semi-skimmed and skimmed milk freeze better than whole. If it separates once defrosted, just give it a good shake. Hard cheese also freezes well – cut it into smaller portions, or grate some ready to use later. 10. Revive past-it bread Bread rolls past their best? Put them in the oven for a few minutes to crisp up again. You can also make stale bread into breadcrumbs - either mix them with herbs and onions as a stuffing for chicken or to top baked fish, or freeze the breadcrumbs for later use. Loaves of bread freeze well too. If you’re freezing a loaf or rolls from an in-store bakery, transfer into a freezer bag for better results rather than just freezing it in the packaging it comes in.

Jessie May Turns Exciting Corner with New Chair of Board Announced
Exciting news blossoms for Jessie May, the at home nursing charity for terminally ill children. Tiggy Robinson, Partner at Bathbased management consultancy Nine Feet Tall has been announced as the new chair of board, hoping to continue steering the wonderful work the organisation performs. Tiggy first discovered Jessie May in 2019 when Nine Feet Tall were seeking local charities to support as their Charity of the Year. Jessie May was shortlisted and after a touching presentation from Corporate Partnerships Officer, Lindsey Horton, Jessie May was chosen. “Lindsey had a massive impact on the choice we made – there wasn’t a dry eye in the house that day! The message of Jessie May and the purpose of the charity is incredibly hard-hitting, so we immediately said yes, there was no debate about it.” The charity particularly touched Tiggy, and she got in contact with current chair at the time Linda Parker, desperate to offer more support to Jessie May. “I discussed becoming a Trustee with Linda, as she felt my experience as a consultant, helping organisations define and deliver their strategy and programmes could be a valuable skill set to bring to the Board.“
36
This then led to some strategy work that was occurring in Jessie May at the time. Beginning to work closely with Linda and Chris Roys, the CEO, Tiggy led her own board meeting. Still wanting more involvement with the charity, Tiggy was nominated to be a Trustee. She was accepted as a Trustee in September 2020, this is where Tiggy’s involvement with Jessie May kicked off. Becoming a member of Jessie May in the middle of the pandemic proved difficult, having to wait until July 2021 to actually meet the team face-to-face. The social restrictions in place caused her to miss many opportunities, such as the annual Tree of Light service, the Family Christmas party, and being able to speak with families involved with the charity. However, this didn’t stop Tiggy’s determination to become an important part of Jessie May. Going to considerable efforts to get to know the organisation inside out, she managed to keep on top of each department's goings on. “It’s been lovely to meet everyone, even virtually, and put the faces to names, as you become part of the Jessie May family by doing so.”
Tiggy joined the team with plenty of experience, both on a personal and professional level. As a partner at Nine Feet Tall, she helps businesses implement change programmes, working with board members and executive teams, and with plenty of experience in the non-profit sector - she proved a perfect fit. Not only this, Tiggy holds a more personal level of understanding too. Mother of three, her oldest child, is diagnosed with Autism and Dyspraxia. Through this, Tiggy understands that families struggle to receive support for their children in one way or another. The sympathy she holds shines in her work, which is hugely important for a charity such as Jessie May. “Our experience of struggling to access certain services to provide additional support means that I feel I have some sort of understanding of the challenges that presents for our parents. A service like Jessie May is so vital, not simply for the physical support, but also for the emotional and mental support that as a parent or carer you really crave, and when you have that access, it can make a colossal difference to your own life as well as your child’s.”
To those considering becoming a Trustee of Jessie May in the future, Tiggy urges you to consider it. Jessie May for her has opened her eyes to different skill sets and has become a valuable learning curve. Not only this, it has been a fun experience for her, working not only with the Board, but also the entire Jessie May team, who have fresh and replenishing ideas for the charity's years to come. “It’s a fantastic way for anyone to expand their volunteering experience and for personal development, but what I would say is that you need to make a proper commitment to it because the work is so important. I would say the more you put in, the more you get out.” To follow all of Jessie May’s stories this Trustees Week visit www.jessiemay.org.uk/ news or to find out about how you can get involved with the charity visit www.jessiemay. org.uk.

Westerleigh Group aims to become industry-leaders in memorialisations
Westerleigh Group’s first Head of Memorialisation, Matthew Brook, says he wants the business to become the industry-leader when it comes to providing uniquely personal memorials.
He said: “I’m passionate about providing the highest standards of care, whether that is at one of our crematoria or in providing a long-lasting tribute to the lives of loved ones through memorialisation.
Matthew was recently appointed to the newly-created post, having been the group’s Commercial and Operations Support Manager since May 2020.
“Unless you are involved in the industry, I don’t think you realise just how much of an impact you can have on a family going through one of the most difficult moments of their lives; it is a truly unique opportunity to help people.
His new position gives him responsibility for on-site memorials across the group, grounds planning, and the innovation of new offerings to ensure each memorial is uniquely personal to the individual it honours. Westerleigh Group is the UK’s largest independent owner and operator of crematoria and cemeteries, with 35 sites in England, Scotland and Wales, all set within beautifully-landscaped gardens of remembrance which provide pleasant, peaceful places for people to visit and reflect. Matthew joined Westerleigh Group in March 2017 as Site Manager at Sedgemoor Crematorium in Somerset, before becoming a dual site manager in March 2020. His background prior to joining Westerleigh Group is in health and social care, which is where his passion for supporting families originated. 40
“I am looking forward to making a positive difference to our crematoria and their memorial offerings which, in turn, will provide families with more choice to remember their loved ones in a uniquely personal way. “I have always been unbelievably proud to work for Westerleigh, an organisation that aligns with my own values as an individual, namely caring for those who need it to the best of our ability. Joining Westerleigh Group is the best decision I have ever made. “I’m excited and very proud to be the group’s first Head of Memorialisation. I think the opportunity to make a difference is huge and this has got my creative juices flowing, considering how we can be the industry-leaders in this field.”

Budget offers cold comfort for Bristol hoteliers
As the dust settles in the wake of Rishi Sunak’s third budget, hoteliers in Bristol say the Chancellor has given them nothing but cold comfort for the winter. Like many businesses in the hospitality sector, members of the Bristol Hoteliers Association (BHA) had hoped for an extension to the current reduced VAT rate. But while Mr Sunak did announce a one-year 50% business rates discount for hospitality sectors, there was no mention at all of the VAT rate, which is due to return to its normal rate on April 1 next year. Raphael Herzog, Chair of the BHA, said: “We had hoped for a little more support from the Chancellor in his budget at the end of October; not only was the VAT rate not mentioned, but there was very little mention of the hospitality sector in general, despite being one of the biggest UK tax contributors and also one of the sectors that has suffered most during the pandemic lockdowns. “We fully supported the #VATsEnough campaign, which called for the current 12.5% VAT rate to be made permanent for our sector. “As it is, many businesses still face a very uncertain future and also we have challenges to overcome such as the staff shortage which is posing a considerable challenge to post-pandemic recovery prospects. “For some hotels, the cost of utilities might go up by as much as 300%. There are increasing costs of food and beverages, increases in costs for our suppliers and there is also the increase in the rate of the living wage going to £9.50 per hour. “In simple terms, this means it is going to cost more for guests to stay and eat in hotels, which is going to make it very challenging for some hospitality businesses to balance their books. 42
“Added to that is the continuing staff shortage. We hear every day that, all around the UK, some hotels, restaurants and bars are not opening fully because they simply don’t have the staff they need. Some are operating at only 75% capacity, or even less. “The Government has introduced temporary visas to help with the shortage of lorry drivers. We had hoped the Chancellor would announce something similar for the skilled workers we are struggling to find, including chefs. “Hotels are also having difficulty struggling to find the waiters and housekeeping staff that they need in order to provide the standards of service that our customers expect. “Even where wages have increased by 20 percent or more, hotels are just not getting the applications they need for these roles. Another challenge facing hotels is that they are still not yet seeing the return of conferences to anything like pre-pandemic levels of 2019. Mr Herzog said: “Many people are still working from home, which means corporate travellers are not using hotels, and added to that challenge is the fact that the leisure business is now slowing down again compared to the summer boom. “Usually at this time of the year, we are planning for Christmas but this is also very slow this year, as many companies don’t want to engage in large social events because of ongoing Covid fears, which is very understandable, of course, but which is one more challenge which does not help the hospitality industry.”

Elim Housing Association Elects First Female Chair of Board Elim Housing Association has elected its first female chair of the board since it was established in 1963. Sally Mason first joined in 2020 and has now taken over from Andy Lunt, who spent 5 years on the board. Sally brings over 25 years' experience in HR and Organisational Development in both private and not-for-profit sectors, ranging from hospitality to social housing. To celebrate her new role, we spoke to Sally about her ambitions, Elim’s strengths and the importance of having women represented on the board: Why did you decide to join the Elim board? I have been working in the housing sector since 2015, in an executive role, and prior to that I was working in the private and public sector. What I really like about the housing sector is you can see the value and impact that you can make for people. I felt aligned to the values of the housing industry, and Elim’s CARES values. So, when there came an opportunity to use my HR skills, knowledge and expertise across those sectors in Elim, it seemed like an ideal opportunity. I knew Elim a little bit because I worked alongside members of the team in various groups across Bristol, and always had a very positive impression of how committed the organisation is. It felt like a match made in heaven! What do you hope to achieve as Chair of the board? I think one of the primary roles as the Chair is ensuring that the organisation achieves its vision in meeting housing need and delivering homes that change people’s lives, alongside the strategic priorities that deliver that vision. It’s a collaboration with the Chief Executive, the board members, the senior leadership team and all the colleagues across the organisation. I think the Chair’s role is ensuring the board operates as effectively as it can and making sure we have the right set of skills, knowledge and experience across the board to help us. A board is there to provide strategic perspective, oversight, governance and challenging decisions to make sure there is independent thought. 44
If you ask me personally what I would like to achieve, it’s customer involvement. Whether that’s having a customer as a board member, or there are several other ways we could achieve that. But it’s about making sure that we’re listening to our customers and considering what they say and what they want. It’s also important to ensure we have diversity of thought coming into the board, so we have real lived experience as well as technical or professional skills. How do you feel about being the first female Chair for Elim? I’m not surprised, sadly, that I’m the first! I certainly hope I’m not going to be the last. I feel really proud and I’m hoping to inspire other people to step out of their comfort zone. I’ve been inspired by lots of different role models – male and female – but it’s certainly been helpful for me to see women in positions of responsibility. I think it’s a really positive move for Elim. Why is it important to have women in the boardroom at an organisation? There is a lot of research that shows boards perform better when they have diverse membership. It’s not just about gender, but specific research into boards with female members shows that they are more successful by any business metric – whether it’s delivering more sales, growth, or challenging decision-making and looking at aspects like risk in different ways. It’s also about widening the talent pool – if you’re not looking at women candidates, you’re cutting out half the population! It gives you that new perspective and new ideas, and helps to avoid ‘groupthink’ which I think is a danger that many boards will face. I think it’s important not just to have women on the board, but to listen to and include them. The worst thing you could have is token people on a board. It’s important to have diverse role models across the organisation, not just in terms of gender.
What are Elim’s strengths and what are some of the challenges? The strength of Elim is the range of services that we can provide. We have experience developing niche opportunities, so people view us as an organisation which is willing to take on areas which others wouldn’t. If you listen to what our stakeholders said in a recent survey, they are very positive about the contribution that we make and our collaborative working. They see us as quite nimble – we can respond quickly to issues as a small organisation. Another strength is the team as a whole. If you look at how everyone pulled together over the last 18 months, it’s clear Elim is very resilient organisation. Another strength is Lime Property Ventures, which is an example of our diverse services.
We face the same challenges as many other housing associations: meeting net carbon zero targets, an uncertain economic climate, and balancing keeping existing homes safe with developing new homes to extend our reach. But I think we’re in a very good place to face those challenges, with a strong board and a strong team. Outside of work, what hobbies do you enjoy? I’m a bit of a film buff! We have a community cinema where I live which I help to run. I also enjoy the theatre and volunteer as a steward at St George’s in Bristol, which is a great music venue. Alongside that we have a smallholding with hens and pigs…I don’t have many spare hours in the day!
Yet some of our strengths are also our weaknesses. As a small organisation, we don’t have a lot of resources, whether that’s people or cash flow. So, we need to be particularly aware of maintaining a strong and sustainable organisation.
