Your photos of the Queen's Coronation, various Jubilee celebrations and any 'royal' street parties are needed for a special photo display being held at this event. All photos will be scanned and handed back to you and you need to send them to Shirehampton Markets/ SCAF who are organising this event. Having done a bit of research, there are some street party photos celebrating Queen Elizabeth II Coronation in 1953. There should be jubilee photos of street parties held in Mancroft Avenue, Grove Leaze, Walton Road, Church Leaze, Dursley Road, Barrow Hill Road for example. I am sure there are plenty more. There are also photos celebrating the 1977 jubilee that include Shirehampton Carnival, a variety concert held by St. Mary's Women's Fellowship, there was a silver jubilee ball and jubilee parties held at Shirehampton Infant School and Shirehampton Junior School, (now Shirehamtpon Primary School) This information was gleemed from our very own community newspaper which John Hastings, Ash Bearman and myself looked through one rainy afternoon. Sadly, many not featuring photos. It would be lovely to show case photos from 1953 to the Diamond Jubilee from your own personal photo archives to local community organisations, schools, Scouts/Cubs, Brownies/Guides, carnivals, youth clubs from the 4 villages area - Shirehampton, Avonmouth, Sea Mills/Coombe Dingle and Lawrence Weston - as this is an event for all our local communities to be part of and to enjoy.
Please send in/hand in photos with your contact details to: Shirehampton Markets/ SCAF, The Public Hall, Station Road, Shirehampton, Bristol, BS11 9TX by Friday 6th May. All photos will be scanned and returned to the original contributors. Or you can email high resolution scans of your photos to: shirehamptonmarkets@outlook. com

A programme of learning, researching and actioning social change has reached its conclusion at Marlwood School, with local charity St Peter’s Hospice receiving a grant of £1000 thanks to students’ efforts.
Year 8 students from the Alveston secondary school have been taking part in the First Give programme which is designed to inspire social action in young people while also providing support to charities.
For two terms the students learnt about important issues in the local community and the charities which work to combat those issues. The students then raised money for and awareness of these charities by organising and hosting a raffle, bake sale, film screening and a staff baby picture competition.
Charities to benefit from these efforts included Great Western Air Ambulance Charity, Made a Mark, St Peter’s Hospice and Brain Tumour Support. Students met with the organisations either in-person or virtually to find out more about what the funds would be used for. “We are delighted with the money raised for all the local causes as well as the £1000 grant from First Give for St Peter’s Hospice.” Rose Evans was part of the winning St Peter’s Hospice Group. She said: “I think First Give has been a great opportunity for everyone. Not only does it give the students participating a chance to help local charities but it also allows the other people in the school to learn about what the charities do and why they are vital to our community. I have thoroughly enjoyed First Give and am proud of the work we all did to help.” Marlwood Headteacher Seema Purewal has praised all the participants for their efforts and their confidence in learning to develop their public speaking skills: “We need to give our young people the skills to voice the causes that they are passionate about. We will certainly be running this worthwhile event next year.” First Give is a charity working in partnership with schools to deliver an innovative and interactive programme.

The programme reached its climax last week when the school hosted its First Give final where groups of students, each representing a different charity, presented to the whole year group, staff members and invited judges, for a chance to win a £1000 cheque for their charity. The winning group presented on behalf of St Peter’s Hospice. Marlwood teacher and PSHE coordinator, Laura Payne, said: “FirstGive has been a fantastic experience for our Year 8 pupils. It inspires and empowers young people to take action and make positive social change. “From choosing the issues that are important to them, to planning and delivering social action activities and finally learning vital public speaking skills to deliver creative and informative presentations about their chosen charities, the programme provides life skills which will benefit the pupils in their future. Marlwood School is part of Castle School Education Trust (CSET) which offers high quality education across the primary, secondary and sixth form key stages at seven South Gloucestershire schools.
