Campaigns finished lucas powell
Campaigns can be organized efforts toward political or social goals, using techniques like shock, humor, or persuasive slogans and celebrities. Common campaign types include billboards, bus stop ads, television and radio ads, and posters. Well-known campaigns promote causes like being smoke-free, child abuse awareness, cancer research, animal welfare, and environmentalism. In Baldock, one of the biggest community spaces is Avenue Park, which is used daily for activities like children's play, tennis, football, and cricket matches and brings community members together. When the park's children's swimming pool fell into disrepair, the community banded together to fund its transformation into a splash park, strengthening community bonds.

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.

Chap 6 test guide
The Hundred Years' War began as a dispute over succession to the French throne between the English and French royal families. Over time, it evolved into a war over territory in France that had been contested between the nations since William the Conqueror. Craft guilds organized tradespeople and regulated prices, quality, and training to protect their members and profession. As trade grew in the Middle Ages, it increased prosperity but also weakened feudal systems by creating new social classes not tied to nobility and allowing mobility based on wealth.

Source A reveals that some Scots emigrated abroad due to opportunities provided by the Empire Settlement Act, which subsidized passage to places like Canada and offered training. It also notes that some left Scotland to escape unemployment after WWI or pursue opportunities for independent land ownership abroad.
Source B describes how landowners in Scotland forced tenant farmers, or crofters, off their land by turning to more profitable sheep farming. As a result, landowners encouraged emigration to remove the excess population and make their estates profitable, in some cases even paying passage costs.
However, the sources do not mention other factors like agents being sent from countries like Canada to recruit Scots immigrants by promoting opportunities available abroad.
Community
A community is a group of people who live in the same local area or share a cultural background. There are several community spaces in Baldock and Ashwell, including community centres, libraries, parks, pubs, and tennis courts. It is important to have spaces for community members to relax, hold events, and for families and children to play. Without safe places to spend time, teenagers may find less safe alternatives. Examples of community campaigns include Friends of Norton Common, which aims to preserve nature reserves, and The Triangle Garden, a community garden open to all ages in Hitchin.

Help for Heroes is a charity organization that was founded in 2007 and has raised over £225.6 million to support British military veterans and their families.

Through social media and the efforts of over 3,400 volunteers, Help for Heroes has built a community of over 900,000 supporters and provides crucial assistance to thousands of former service members each year.
Impact on the Caribbean
The document provides information about the impact of the slave trade on the Caribbean, including:
1) Over 1.6 million slaves were taken to the Caribbean by Britain to work on sugar cane plantations, which devastated the native Arawak population and destroyed much of the natural landscape.
2) Slaves endured extremely poor treatment and dangerous working conditions, with 25% dying within three years of arrival. This led to increased revolts.
3) The slave trade transformed the population and culture of the Caribbean but also caused lack of workers after abolition and demands for compensation from European nations due to the lasting impacts.

The document discusses various "pull factors" that encouraged Scottish emigration in the 1800s-1900s. It explains that Scots were attracted to opportunities for employment, higher wages, land ownership, family connections, religious missionary work, and faster steam ship travel in places like Canada, Australia, and the United States. Jobs were promised in industries like farming, mining, and the civil service. Wages for some professions could be over three times higher abroad. Emigrants could receive free or cheap land, improving prospects for farmers. Family already overseas provided support. Some Scots traveled to spread Christianity or for missionary work. Faster steam ships cut travel time significantly, making long journeys more feasible.

The document discusses various "push factors" that caused thousands of Scots to emigrate from the Lowlands (eastern, southern, and central Scotland) during the 1800s-1900s. It describes poor working conditions in factories, shipyards, and mines including long hours, lack of safety protections, low pay, and seasonal unemployment. It also notes problems of overcrowded and unsanitary housing, diseases like tuberculosis and cholera due to these conditions, and lack of public support for healthcare or unemployment. These poverty factors pushed many Lowland Scots to seek new lives elsewhere through emigration to escape these hardships.
