Child poverty in the UK is rising despite government efforts to address it. One statistic shows that 1 in 6 children grow up in homes where no one works, higher than most European countries. The document discusses theories of an "underclass" versus a "culture of poverty" and examines the decline of the Shadsworth Estate in Blackburn from its origins in the 1950s as housing for working families to its current issues with welfare dependence, crime and drugs. It describes local efforts to address child poverty through children's centers and community programs.

In other news, the Hadley Wood Security scheme provides patrols to keep the area safe, and a new book by local author John Uttley called "Where's Sailor Jack?" was published.
PCU - New Partnership at Christmas - 2017 (PCU Shares - Newsletter - Autumn ...Pentecostal Credit Union
New partnership at Christmas
We’re delighted to announce that we are now officially partnered with the New Testament Assembly in Tooting (NTA) in their long-established programme to deliver food hampers to people in Wandsworth at Christmas.
The Christmas Hamper Project was launched back in December 2008, by the late Amy Rose Powell MBE from the Women 2 Women ministry. She was concerned about members of the NTA Tooting Church, and people in the wider community, who were experiencing difficult times.
Responding to hardship
The project provides a box of food as a gift at Christmas to individuals or families in need – whatever their religious persuasion or ethnicity. Most of the boxes go to single parents, pensioners and households on a low income. The hampers – 2,914 of them in the past eight years – are delivered individually or via community groups.
The scriptural reference for the project is taken from Matthew 25:35-46:
“…for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me…
“Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.”
PCU sees this project as an important element of our corporate social responsibility programme. Corporate social responsibility is about contributing to the improvement of the community we are part of in some substantial way – and doing so in line with our ethics and values.
We view the local Christmas hamper programme as an essential local social service to individuals and families in desperate need at Christmas and we are privileged to take part in this.
The document discusses efforts to restore and preserve Trent Park mansion and grounds in Enfield for public access and benefit. A campaign has been launched to ensure the listed heritage assets are protected from future development plans and the mansion is restored. Support is being sought from the local council, politicians, and residents through a petition to designate the site as a community asset.
The document discusses the history of Hadley Wood from its beginnings as farmland in the late 19th century to the present day, detailing how the village grew around the railway station which was established in 1885 and continued expanding with the construction of new homes throughout the 20th century, transforming into a desirable residential area with many community organizations and amenities today.
Ten reasons why migrants are not the problemDanny Dorling
1. Migrants are not the cause of housing shortages in the UK. There is enough housing overall, but it is poorly distributed due to inequality. Recent migrants tend to live in poorer quality, overcrowded housing.
2. The NHS relies heavily on migrant workers. Without migrant staff, the health system would struggle to function. Recent policies have made healthcare access more difficult for some migrants.
3. Schools in Britain are generally becoming less segregated over time as neighborhoods integrate. However, inequality is causing more segregation based on wealth, as "better" schools are inaccessible to low-income families. Overall diversity in schools is a positive thing.
The document provides an overview of the monthly issue of the Hadley Wood News, including articles on the history of Hadley Wood, local events and activities over the summer, letters to the editor, and advertisements from local businesses. It then continues with a lengthy excerpt from the first part of "The Making of Hadley Wood" which describes the geography and early history of Hadley Wood from its development after the railway station was built in 1885 up until the disenchantment of Enfield Chase in 1776.
During the Victorian era in England, many children lived in poverty and had to work from a very young age to support their families. They worked long hours in dangerous conditions without proper safety equipment or healthcare. Child labor was common in factories and industries, where children as young as 5 or 6 worked alongside adults. Only wealthy families could afford to send their children to school, so most poor children received no education. Conditions for poor and working children were often unsanitary and unhealthy, with long work days and little access to necessities like adequate food and housing.

These different eras and experiences sparked the narrator's passion for history, education, family, and nature.
Letter to Northamptonshire MPs about library cutsCILIP
CILIP, the library and information association, has written to all Northamptonshire MPs with deep concerns about the unprecedented library cuts announced by the County Council.
Thomas Barnardo witnessed the poverty in London's East End and opened his first home for boys in 1870 after seeing children sleeping on roofs and in gutters. He vowed to never turn away another destitute child after an 11-year-old boy was turned away and later died of malnutrition and exposure. The Peabody Trust, founded in 1862 by American banker George Peabody, built social housing in London with amenities like laundry rooms and play spaces. They redeveloped many former slum sites, including replacing cramped homes in Whitechapel with model dwellings. The Society for Improving the Condition of the Labouring Classes, also known as the Labourer's Friend Society, was the first Model Dwellings Company that
Materialism has become synonymous with consumerism – wasteful, debt-fuelled and ultimately unsatisfying. Yet, inescapably, we are part of the material world. How, then, can we develop a healthy connection to it? This pamphlet argues for a ‘New Materialism,’ in which we grow a more deeply pleasurable, and also respectful relationship with the world of ‘things’.
The document provides information on various local events and organizations in Hadley Wood, including:
1) A summary of the contents of the July/August issue of the Hadley Wood News, including articles on the Battle of Barnet, changes at the local bridge club, and a wildflower meadow.
2) Details on upcoming talks at St. Paul's Church about the Battle of Barnet and the history of Hadley Wood.
3) A description of Hadley Wood Primary School's successful summer fete, which raised funds through activities like pony rides, food sales, and raffles despite some rain.
4) An overview of celebrations in Hadley Wood to mark Queen Elizabeth's 90th
Daily life in colonial America revolved around family and farming. Families lived and worked on small farms, with fathers leading the household and mothers taking care of domestic duties like gardening, cooking, and childrearing. Children started working at young ages to help their families; sons typically took up their fathers' trades while daughters assisted their mothers. Education was limited, usually just teaching boys basic reading; girls' education was usually just what parents provided, and indentured servants and slaves had little to no access to schools. People married young, around 18-20, and women commonly had 7-10 children, making childbirth a leading cause of death.
The document provides information about the United Kingdom, including its countries, capital cities, flags, royal family, education system, daily life, sports, music, famous people, and sights in London.

1. Renovation projects at Allen Hall Seminary totalling £766,000 to upgrade outdated facilities and repair structural issues.
2. A £1.1 million funding gap to redevelop Waxwell Farm into a Youth and Catholic Living Centre providing retreat spaces and accommodation.
3. £360,000 annually needed to operate Bakhita House, a safe home for female victims of human trafficking, and additional funds for related global work.
Lessons from UK history to deal with the current covid19 Self-employed
The village of Eyam in Derbyshire quarantined itself during the Great Plague of 1665-1666 to prevent the spread of bubonic plague, even though they knew it would lead to many villagers dying. Over 260 of Eyam's 350 villagers perished, but they saved countless lives in other towns. Their self-sacrifice shows that voluntary isolation can stop a pandemic. Even today, Eyam villagers have inherited genetic mutations that provide immunity to plague and HIV/AIDS due to this historic quarantine. Their actions provide lessons on how isolation and social distancing can defeat COVID-19, though modern medicine and knowledge help reduce the death rate compared to earlier pandemics.
The document contains several news stories:
1) Barnet Council will offer free parking in town centres and car parks over the next three weekends for Christmas. Haringey will only offer free parking on Small Business Saturday.
2) A donation from the filmmakers of Paddington, negotiated with the help of playwright Alan Bennett, provided the largest ever donation to Primrose Hill Community Association and its library.
3) The Friends of Highgate Bowl charity group will launch an appeal to buy open land in Highgate to prevent housing development and build an educational center.
The document discusses the main causes of child poverty in Lancashire, including income-related poverty, worklessness, welfare dependency, health and educational disadvantages, family structure, and lack of social abilities. Child poverty rose in the 1980s and started declining in the 2000s. Income poverty has a huge effect, as working families on low incomes struggle to provide for their children. Children living in poverty face implications like long-term health issues and difficulties in education. The government needs new social policies and welfare reforms to better understand and address the causes of child poverty.

Liberation theology began in Latin America in the 1950s as a way to interpret Scripture through the lens of the poor and oppressed. It focuses on God as liberator who sides with the poor, and sees salvation as liberation from unjust social structures and sin. The father of liberation theology is Gustavo Gutierrez, who was inspired by the inequality he witnessed in Peru and believes God loves the poor preferentially. Liberation theology emphasizes praxis over doctrine and sees the mission of the Church as advocating for the poor rather than maintaining its own institutional power.

The Eldonians started as a community organization in the 1970s to address poverty and decline in the Vauxhall area of Liverpool. They have since redeveloped over 400 homes for rent, helped attract over £100 million in investment, and created 250 jobs. The Eldonians took a run-down, industrial area and transformed it into a thriving community through decades of community-led regeneration efforts.
Marriage and family life changed in Europe between the 18th and 19th centuries. Early marriage was uncommon before 1750, with most people marrying around age 27. Illegitimate births increased dramatically between 1750-1850 as more young people had premarital sex and fewer married after pregnancy. Attitudes toward children also evolved - they were often neglected prior to the Enlightenment, but critics like Rousseau later advocated for more love and understanding of children. Formal education expanded for the upper classes by the 16th century, and then for common people in the 17th-18th centuries, led by Protestant reforms in places like Prussia and Scotland. Literacy and popular literature increased during this period.
The New York Juvenile Asylum (now called the Children's Village) was founded in 1850 to help homeless and vulnerable children in New York City. It originally housed 400 children in a rented building, providing education and vocational training. In 1854 it established a larger campus in Washington Heights that could house up to 1,200 children. Over time the Children's Village transitioned to a cottage model with family-style care on a campus in Dobbs Ferry, New York. As of 2015, it serves over 10,000 children per year through residential programs, foster care, family support and other services.

Unit 5 section 2, lesson 2 mass culture and family life-1MrsSmithGHS
During the 1950s, consumer spending increased as median family incomes rose and consumerism took hold. More families lived in nuclear households with fathers working and mothers staying home. Television and other media helped spread mass culture while reinforcing images of ideal families. New forms of music like rock and roll emerged and became popular among youth, though some adults disapproved of the new styles. Overall, postwar America saw dramatic changes in family life, the economy, and popular culture.

Woodstock, NY has a population of 4,851 with a median age of 53. The majority of residents are white. Most residents work in nearby towns like Kingston due to a lack of local employment opportunities following the closure of a factory. Housing includes single family homes, apartments, and converted commercial buildings. Residents rely primarily on personal vehicles with some public transportation. Overall, the public health of most residents seems good, though the Spanish-speaking minority may face greater challenges due to isolation.
The document provides an overview of the history of mass education in Australia. It discusses how mandatory schooling began in the late 19th century and was intended to socialize children and inculcate social values. A two-tiered public and private system developed, with class, gender, and racial inequities. Over time, education expanded and became more inclusive and equitable, though issues around funding private schools and Indigenous education persist. The origins and ideology behind mass education continue to influence the system today.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

19. Regenerating Blackburn. The Fight Against Child Poverty
This essay forms an accompanying narrative to a two-minute media presentation.
Child poverty in Britain is a growing problem. Successive governments have recognised this and have attempted to tackle it wi th a variety of initiatives and
policies, yet current figures suggest that child poverty levels are still rising.
The causes of child poverty are not confined to one issue, although one particular statistic, released from Rt. Hon. Ian Duncan Smith, Minister for the
Department of Work and Pensions, is rather startling.
‘1.9 million children grow up in the UK in a home where no-one works. Which is roughly 1 in 6.
Higher than almost any other European country, despite the UK being one of the wealthiest.’ Smith, (2011).
Child poverty isn’t just about financial poverty. There are many reasons and arguments as to why children are seen as b eing in “poverty”.
One such argument is that these children are born into an ‘underclass’ that is welfare reliant, spurning the opportunities of work and education and
preferring, instead, to be kept by the welfare state. This was the view of Charles Murray, an American writer, as cited by Moore (2001). Murray argues that
there are three features that often are used to identify members of the underclass. These are, a high level of illegitimacy and lone parents, a lack of
commitment to work and high crime levels, in particular theft and violent crime.
Many people who study social science strongly reject the ‘underclass’ theory, as it blames the individual for their situation, rather than the circumstances of
poverty itself. The ‘culture of poverty’ approach is preferred instead, as it states that it is learnt behaviour in childhood, which means that individuals can
never escape the poverty of their parents. This was a theory first put by Oscar Lewis, also cited by Moore (2001).
Are any of these arguments valid?
Shadsworth Estate in Blackburn was recently the focus of a BBC TV documentary, which examined a perceived ‘underclass’ mentality among its residents.
Shadsworth is a large, former local authority estate, which is now operated by Twin Valley Homes. It was built in the 1950’s, on the Eastern edge of
Blackburn. Together with its own schools and shops, it was typical of many similar estates that sprang up nationally around the same time. This was in
20. response to the implementation of the findings of the Beveridge report, which identified a need for new housing and schools to help alleviate the ‘five
giants’ of Poverty. The documentary highlighted ‘problem families’ on the estate, and showed households that were entirely welfare dependant. It
interviewed several young people who saw paid work as unnecessary and pointless. The documentary also highlighted how drug related crime was an issue
on Shadsworth Estate, with drug dealing appearing to take place relatively freely outside what was left of the shops on Ballentrae Road. Is this an accurate
portrayal of life on this estate, or was this documentary merely sensationalising the problems for the purposes of ‘good’ television?
I grew up on Shadsworth Estate in Blackburn. I spent the first eleven years of my life there, living at 4 Brodick Road, and received my education at the three
estate schools, Shadsworth Infants, juniors and High school until I left full time education at the age of 16. During my time at Shadsworth High School, I was
able to enjoy the benefits of the newly opened Shadsworth Leisure Centre that had been built onto the side of the high school , including the swimming
pool, sports hall and squash courts. Shadsworth High School had the finest facilities of any of the schools in the borough, with the leisure centre operating
as part of the school during school hours. Sadly, despite these fantastic facilities, Shadsworth High School eventually failed, alongside the decline of
Shadsworth Estate. Even the Church of England seemed to turn its back on Shadsworth, with the closure of Church of The Redeemer, the Parish Church
which opened in the mid 1970’s, forging initial strong links with the high school.
My parents both worked, although my mother did take some time off to look after me before I went to school. She then gained part-time employment in
Shadsworth infant school kitchens. My father initially worked as a shuttle maker for the cotton mills, but following the decline of that industry, became a
Postman, eventually working for Royal Mail for over 37 years until his retirement. One of my earliest childhood memories is looking through the front
window of 4 Brodick Road, waiting for my father to return home from work on Christmas day, so that I could open my presents. Back then there was a
postal delivery on December 25TH. This picture of two parents, both in paid employment, is very different to the one portrayed by the BBC TV documentary.
My parents were among the original tenants who moved onto Shadsworth Estate in 1955.
These first residents formed a new community that, for the most part, were house-proud and sociable. Status wise, they were ‘working-class’. Income wise,
they would have equated to living below todays poverty-line income of under £17000.00 per annum. How then, did Shadsworth Estate decline from what it
was in 1955, to the estate that we see today? And, are the problems on Shadsworth Estate unique? Or have they been repeated i n other areas of
Blackburn, and beyond?
21. In her introduction to her book “Poverty Street” Ruth Lupton paints a very similar picture to the one of Shadsworth Estate in describing the problem s of
“Bridgefields” estate, Lupton (2003). Bridgefields is, in fact, Higher Croft Estate, off Roman Road in Blackburn. Ruth changed the name in her book to avoid
further ‘stigmatising’ the area, and its residents. She catalogues a story of decline almost from the estate’s birth in 1974.
From the early 1980’s, estates such as Shadsworth and Higher Croft were experiencing extreme poverty, and there were many social problems. Many of
the “decent” families had decided to move out, juvenile crime and anti-social behaviour were rising, and these estates gained unwanted reputations as
settlements for “extended criminal families” Lupton (2003).
Why did this happen?
It is true to say that there was a decline in the ‘traditional’ cotton mill industry around Blackburn from the mid 1960’s, however, this was partly off set by
the rise of local engineering firms, which sprang up on the edges of these two estates at around the same time. I talked to my parents about it, and their
account is of the council making poor decisions in granting housing to known ‘problem families’ on the estate, in an attempt to ‘educate’ them into
becoming better tenants. All this policy did was to ‘drag down’ the estate and force the decent tenants out. These problem families were ‘socially illiterate’.
They had no interest in keeping their property in good order, and no consideration for other residents on the estate. My parents told me of one family
whom the council had to move out periodically, whilst they fumigated and redecorated the inside of their house, before moving them back in. Another
example is of the council workmen arriving to replace all the internal doors to a property on Portree Crescent, due to the original ones being broken up and
used for fuel for the fire.
Such was the decline on Shadsworth estate, my parents made the decision to move away. In 1977, they transferred to Heys Close on Livesey estate, which,
along with Higher Croft, was the last large council housing development in Blackburn. They subsequently purchased their home, following the ‘right to buy’
scheme brought in with the Conservative government from 1979. Unfortunately, the problems that befell Shadsworth and Higher Croft have, to a certain
extent manifested themselves on Livesey estate, with anti-social behaviour and crime becoming ever more an issue for residents.
Looking at the problems on all of these former council run estates, one can see a familiar pattern emerging. Homes were built and the initial families moved
in, forming a new community. Due to social mobility, and other factors, a few families move on, and a few socially dysfunctional families replace these.
These new families cause more of the original settlers to move away, to be replaced by more socially dysfunctional families, and so the cycle continues. It is
in these families that we find a high proportion of children who are deemed to be living in poverty.
22. In recent times, Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council (BwD) has sought to address the problems of child poverty by providing funding for several
initiatives. One such scheme is the Shadsworth Children’s Centre, on Shadsworth Road. Here is an extract from the latest Ofsted report that describes the
facility.
Shadsworth Children's Centre Nursery was registered in 2008. It is operated by the local authority
from three rooms in a purpose built designated Children's Centre, situated along the main road in
the Shadsworth area of Blackburn. Children have access to a large landscaped, enclosed outdoor
play area. The nursery is open each weekday from 8am to 6pm for 49 weeks of the year,
excluding bank holidays and additional closure days.
The nursery is registered on the Early Years Register and the voluntary and compulsory parts of
the Childcare Register. A maximum of 60 children may attend the nursery at any one time. There
are currently 69 children on roll, some in part- time places. The nursery supports a number of
children with special educational needs and/or disabilities and children who speak English as an
additional language. There are 17 members of staff, of whom all hold early years qualifications to
level 3 and above.
(Ofsted report 29.02.2012)
Similar community projects are underway in one form or another on other estates throughout Blackburn, such as Livesey Community Centre and
Greenfields Community Centre, which is adjacent to Green Lane Estate.
23. All these projects are attempting to give the parents and children in these areas opportunities to combat poverty by providing centres of education, free
nursery places, and a drop in facility where community relations can be forged and built upon. All of this is backed at national level by the government’s
Sure Start programme.
Within a three-mile radius of Blackburn Town centre there are 13 sure start children’s centres, providing free children’s services to families with the
greatest need. The government hope is that child poverty can be targeted at an early age, and that the continuing battle against child poverty can be
addressed.
Child poverty remains a big issue in Blackburn, but with local and national government schemes in place it is now being tackl ed head on. There is clearly still
much to do. Housing regeneration is still on going, with many of the older terraced housing demolished, and being replaced by new housing schemes. Some
of these new housing developments are shared equity schemes, where the houses are part owned by a housing organisation, and the remainder mortgaged
by the tenant. An example of this type of development can be seen at Lock 54, in the Infirmary area of Blackburn. As with the earlier ‘right to buy’ scheme,
it enables lower income families to become homeowners. The theory behind home owning is that it improves an area, due to the residents becoming
stakeholders in it and, thereby, taking more pride in its appearance.
Refurbishment and remodelling is also taking place on the large housing estates now operated and managed by Twin Valley Homes. Some houses have
been demolished to create more open spaces on the estates. New leisure and recreation areas have been developed to help ‘soften’ the previously stark
surroundings. One example of this is the Arran Way, a recreation area and nature trail on the border of Shadsworth estate and its neighbour, Knuzden. A
‘log land’ adventure play area has been created alongside sympathetic landscaping, pathways, fences and gates. The overall re sult is very pleasing on the
eye, and helps to blend Knuzden and Shadsworth in a rural setting.
This kind of urban regeneration can hopefully be another vital measure in helping to combat child poverty, as families are taken out of squalor and placed in
a fresh and safer environment.
Lessons from the past have, hopefully, been learned. As it is clear, new housing alone is not the answer, and this has has been clearly illustrated by
Shadsworth and Higher Croft estates. It is also by investing in children and parents who are deemed to be in poverty, by education and opportunity, which
the government hopes will finally break the cycle of poverty and increase social mobility.
