pupils from six local secondary schools with 26 successful women to empower and inspire the younger generation.

Dr Ronx, Emergency Medicine Doctor at Homerton hospital, was on the panel. She said: “If you have a dream, regardless

of what it is, you can always find someone to support you on that journey.” For more info and pics, see page 5.

HEALTHIER HACKNEY IXTEEN community groups have been awarded a share of £500,000 by the Council and the City and Hackney Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) through a new fund aimed at improving health and wellbeing in the area. The groups were asked to demonstrate how their projects could tackle a number of priority health and wellbeing issues, including promoting mental wellbeing at times of change, improving uptake of cancer screening and end of life care. Mental health charity Core Arts was awarded £60,000 to

offer sessions to 80 adults who require extra needs after being discharged from crisis support. Giuliana Molinari, Deputy Director at Core Arts, said: “The project tackles physical and mental health for discharged clients at risk of relapse due to severe mental ill-health, who are not in receipt of other services at a crucial time of change. The fund will allow us to fill this gap in provision with person-centred individualised care.” The Terrence Higgins Trust was awarded £19,846 to investigate the experiences of local Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Queer, and others

(LGBTQ+) people of colour, and how racism and heterosexism act as barriers to accessing services and better health outcomes. Adam Wilkinson, UK Service Director at Terrence Higgins Trust, said: “By learning more about these barriers, we will work with health and social care organisations and services in Hackney to properly target and meet the needs of this group.” Alongside the funding, the groups will also receive other rewards, including direct support from a council officer to help build capacity within their organisation, and ways to help promote their achievements.

The Healthier City and Hackney Fund, thought to be the biggest of its kind in the country, is the first time the Council and the City and Hackney CCG have combined money for this kind of funding. The next round of grant funding for projects that look to improve health and wellbeing in City and Hackney will open for applications in September.

ANDLORDS in Hackney must bring privately rented homes blighted by hazards or disrepair up to scratch or face prosecution or financial penalties. The new property licensing measures will mean that landlords letting out a property in the Brownswood, Cazenove and Stoke Newington wards will need to hold a licence requiring them to meet acceptable standards. Landlords of Hackney’s 4,000 houses in multiple occupation (HMOs) – homes with two or more households and shared facilities such as kitchens, bathrooms and toilets – will also have to apply for a licence under the new arrangements approved by the Council on 19 March. The measures follow research commissioned by the Council which estimates that more than 15 per cent of the 4,700 privately rented homes in these three wards, and one in five of all HMOs across the borough, suffer from serious hazards ranging from damp and mould to dangerous boilers, exposed wiring and vermin infestations. This means that over 1,500 properties covered by the new licensing schemes don’t meet minimum standards and will need to be brought into line by their landlords. Affected landlords who don’t acquire a licence or fail to comply with its conditions will face a fixed penalty, a criminal prosecution leading to an unlimited fine, or be forced to pay back up to a year’s rent. Serious offenders can be served with a banning order, preventing them from letting out a property, and placed on a rogue landlords database. Kim Wright, Group Director for Neighbourhoods and Housing, said:“The majority of landlords in

The new measures will mean landlords have to bring hundreds of homes up to scratch in hazard hotspots Hackney provide a good service to their tenants, but all too many are taking advantage of the huge increase in demand for housing to let out homes that just aren’t fit to live in. “The new measures will mean landlords will have to bring hundreds of homes up to scratch in hazard hotspots where conditions are at their worst, demonstrating our commitment to creating a fairer system for Hackney’s renters.”

One in three households in Hackney now rents privately, and the average rent has increased by 36 per cent since 2011. A two-bedroom privately rented home now costs over £1,800 a month on average.

longer association with the playwright than the more famous Globe Theatre. In 2016, archaeologists from MOLA conducted a three-month dig at the site, before building began for a £750 million development. Called The Stage, it will combine shops, offices, homes and the preserved remains of the excavated theatre. During the dig, public tours were strictly limited but visitors to the Time Truck were able to get up close to some of its most exciting finds, including the money boxes that first inspired the term ‘box office’. Visitors were also able to see a showcase of the types of food and drink theatre goers in the Elizabethan age enjoyed at the theatre, as well as replica cups, jugs and drinking vessels.

Heather Knight, Senior Archaeologist at MOLA, said: “The Curtain Theatre was a true people’s playhouse where people from across society gathered together to be entertained. “Taking the archaeology of the Curtain Theatre out to people of Hackney is the perfect way to celebrate Shakespeare Week and we were delighted to be able to welcome visitors on to the Time Truck and bring the experience of 16th and 17th Century theatre goers to life.”

Work on the leisure centre, school and first phase of new homes is expected to start next year and complete in 2021. The second phase, which will be the subject of a separate application, will focus on up to 388 homes for outright sale to help fund the development. The Council will retain full control of the land and decisions made about the site, and is acting as developer to ensure all income generated directly benefits local people. Residents have helped to shape the development by taking part in workshops and giving feedback. For more information, and to comment on the application, visit: hackney.gov.uk/britannia-site

Remembering Charlie Collins CHARLIE Collins was, quite literally, a towering figure. Before his death at the age of 81 this month, he gave so much to the community that a new building in Dalston Square was named after him – Collins Tower. Born in Jamaica in 1937, he came to the UK in the 1950s, aged 20, and set up home in Hackney. He started the iconic Four Aces Club in Dalston, which attracted big names such as Bob Marley and Stevie Wonder, and ran music outreach sessions for the local community. It was while working at his club in 1981 that he received the news that would change his life forever. His son Steve was DJing at a house party in New Cross when a fire broke out. Steve was one of 13 people who died. When Dalston Square was redeveloped in 2010, a memorial to the victims of fire was placed in the public square and one of its flagship buildings was named after Charlie. He also planted 13 trees at the Four Aces to commemorate the victims. Today, Collins Tower houses flats and a public library, a fitting tribute to a gentle giant and a pillar of the community. Charlie is survived by his seven children, 22 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren. His funeral will take place on 6 April, from 12.30pm, at St Marks Church, E8 2LJ. The reception will follow from 4pm until 11pm at Hackney Marshes, off Homerton Road, E9 5PF.

Pressing for progress Over 80 schoolgirls attended the Council’s third Inspiring Young Women event

H

ACKNEY schoolgirls were encouraged to follow their dreams, regardless of their gender, at the third Inspiring Young Women celebration. The Council-run event coincided with International Women’s Day, on 8 March, and connected girls from six local secondary schools with 26 successful women who gave up their time to empower and inspire the younger generation. This year’s International Women’s Day theme was ‘press for progress’, to encourage the next generation of young women to turn the tide on gender inequality. Dr Ronx, Emergency Medicine Doctor at Homerton hospital, was

on the panel at the event. She said: “There will always be challenges in your life, things that you can’t change. If you have a dream, regardless of what it is, you can always find someone to support you on that journey; either your favourite teacher, a mentor, a family member or a youth worker. “I am a living example of someone who worked hard and achieved my dream. It was a struggle and I nearly gave up and had many setbacks, but I made it and every failure was fuel to my fire. “Regardless of your background, gender, sexuality, wealth or health, with the right attitude, the right people around you, and ultimate belief in

If you have a dream, regardless of what it is, you can always find someone to support you on that journey yourself, whatever you do you will be winning.” Other panellists were Spurs Ladies footballer Renee Hector; firefighter Victoria Archer-Lee; Deputy Mayor of Hackney Anntoinette Bramble; and Council apprentice Akina Okoye. Victoria was never discouraged in her choice of career by the depressing fact that only seven per cent of firefighters in London are women. She said: “Though I am always in the minority, it never stopped me. At the

London Fire Brigade we always work as a team, it doesn’t matter about your gender, as long as you are a good communicator and empathetic. Our job is about helping people – and we always work together to do that.” Renee talked about the gender pay gap in football. She said: “You play because you love it; you love being part of a team. “Obviously I’m not in it for the money – women footballers get paid a lot less than men, but you’ve

got to push for your passion and do what you love no matter what.” The event, which took place at the Young Hackney Forest Road Youth Hub in Dalston on 6 March, was attended by over 80 pupils from Our Lady’s Convent High School, Clapton Girls’ Academy, Stoke Newington School & Sixth Form, New Regent’s College, Skinners’ Academy and Cardinal Pole Catholic School. Members of Hackney’s pre-employment programme spoke to the schoolgirls in small groups after the panel discussion. The speakers gave valuable insights into their own chosen career paths, talking about their experiences, successes and failure – all of which helped them grow

and achieve. Lavinia Sacker, from Clapton Girls’ Academy, said: “The whole of the day was very inspirational, I especially liked the advice we were given. All of the speakers really motivated us to go for our dreams.” Rinesa Neziri, from Stoke Newington School, added: “It was really interesting to hear from people with different backgrounds and how they got through their different problems and overcame obstacles in life.”

feature 2 EARLY 100 years after London was the epicentre of breweries, Hackney became a magnet for microbreweries. “The borough was at the vanguard of the new brewing revolution,” says Dr Adam Dennett. He should know. The senior lecturer in urban analytics at University College London has a specialist interest in beer that he has managed to extend beyond the personal sphere and into the professional. Together with geographer Sam Page, Adam has written a detailed report on the capital’s microbreweries called ‘The geography of London’s recent beer brewing revolution’. The report explores the reason behind the explosion of new breweries in the capital during the past decade. It states that in the mid-1920s, there were 2,000 breweries in the UK. By the mid-1970s, their number had plummeted, and there were just a handful left in London by the turn of the millennium. Yet last year 84 active breweries were counted in the capital. “Hackney,” says Adam, “was home to some of the breweries that kicked off that revival.” In 2011, when the Hackney Brewery set up shop in the Haggerston railway arch that remains its home, it became one of the first of London’s new wave of breweries. One of the most fascinating things about the report is that it reveals the new wave of breweries are not scattered evenly across the city, but clustered together in certain areas – including the borough. They are also normally found situated in railway arches. “Fifty per cent of London’s new breweries are in a railway arch or very close to a station,” says Adam. Hackney Brewery is and, when the Five Points brewery opened in 2013, it

also chose a railway arch, though this time under Hackney Downs Station. “Railway arches are great for brewers,” explains Adam, “because they tend to be noisy, damp and a little off the beaten track, their rents are also relatively low. Yet they are spacious and often close to the centre of the city, where there is a strong beer market.” That said, Adam continues: “A lot of

breweries sell direct from the premises and make a significant proportion of their profits from doing so.” Being in a neighbourhood that values local products and where there is active support for the local economy is vital. “It ties in with the farmers’ market trend,” says Adam, adding: “there’s an attractive authenticity about buying direct from

6

the seller, talking to them about their passion.” Byron Knight, co-founder of Hackney’s newest brewery Deviant and Dandy, based in another railway arch in Hackney Central, agrees. He says: “People are very focused on the local factor here. They are very proud of being from, or in, Hackney. And as a small brewery making interesting beer, we can’t keep the

costs as low as the big guys. So we need to be based somewhere where people appreciate what we’re up to and are prepared to spend a little more because of it. And Hackney is that place.” Then, there’s the community itself. Adam says: “A US study found the success of microbreweries was tied to the number of 25 to 40 year olds in a neighbourhood.” Or, as Byron says:

“Hackney is full of influencers – the people with the vast Instagram following and the interesting reporters.

and hit at least five breweries in the arches and immediate area. It’s the new Hackney beer mile. It’s a destination.” Jon Swain, co-founder of the Hackney Brewery, is of the same mindset. He says: “We all hang out. Guys from other breweries will pop over and borrow a bag of malt.” There really is a community in beer.

greenmatters News in brief Ban on disposable barbecues and crackdown on litter left in London Fields

Photo: Gareth Jones

Smoked out London Fields is popular with groups using barbecues on warm summer days. However, some choose to ignore the rules for barbecuing in the park. Top: Litter left in the park after barbecues. Below: Scorch marks and burnt grass as a result of misusing disposable barbecues

ISPOSABLE barbecues are set to be banned in London Fields this summer as part of a wider crackdown on the amount of waste left in the park. Visitors to the park will still be allowed to use barbecues, but only nondisposable ones that will not burn the grass and are more environmentally sustainable too. The barbecue area in London Fields has grown in popularity since it was first introduced in 2011,

D

and summer weekends can see thousands of people visit the park for picnics and barbecues. As the number of visitors has grown, so has the amount of rubbish left scattered in the barbecue area at the end of the day, which has increased the cost of managing the area. For several years the Council has

been advising visitors to use stands for their barbecues, and has been handing out bricks to raise disposable ones off the ground.

Unfortunately, some irresponsible individuals have chosen to ignore the rules for barbecuing in the park, burning the grass and leaving their litter on the ground. As a result the Council is being forced to take action to reduce the impact on the park. Signs and banners will inform visitors about the new rules. Enforcement Officers from the Council will patrol the park at weekends to remind people of the rules and remove any disposable barbecues.

Electric charging points for historic market streets BUSINESSES, residents and visitors to three historic market streets will soon be able to make the transition to cleaner vehicles as up to 70 electrical charging points will be installed on

Hoxton Street, Well Street and Chatsworth Road. The new charging points will be built into existing features, such as bollards and posts, while remaining sensitive to the look and feel of the area.

The Council is also exploring the possibility of market traders being able to access the points for electricity during market days, which would allow them to switch to electric vehicles and/or

power their stalls. The electrified market streets have been made possible due to £270,000 funding from TfL and the Mayor of London’s Neighbourhoods of the Future programme.

Tree-mendous news for parks DOZENS of new trees have been planted across Hackney’s parks since the beginning of the year as part of a project boosted by the Mayor of London’s Community Tree Planting Grants scheme. Volunteers, Council staff and contractors are on target to plant 229 new trees by the end of the month, with Clissold Park, Mabley Green, Hackney Downs, Haggerston Park and Shoreditch Park among the sites receiving trees. The scheme includes native varieties such as English oak, common beech and hornbeam, which are particularly beneficial for urban wildlife, as well as selected nonnative trees such as walnut, Japanese elm and swamp cypress.

July date for the introduction of ultra-low emission streets THE UK’s first scheme banning all but the cleanest vehicles from two zones in Shoreditch and the City Fringe is set to start in the summer. Hackney and Islington Councils have declared that petrol, diesel and older hybrid vehicles will not be allowed to enter nine streets during the peak commuter periods of 7am-10am and 4pm-7pm, Monday to Friday. Ultra-low emission vehicles like electric cars, e-bikes, the newest hybrids and hydrogen vehicles, as well as pedestrians and cyclists, will be allowed. The scheme was supported by 70 per cent of people living within 10 kilometres of the area when it was proposed, and 56 per cent of all respondents to the recent consultation were in favour. The changes will come into effect in July. The affected streets in Hackney will be Rivington Street (between Great Eastern Street and Curtain Road), Charlotte Road, Blackall Street, Willow Street and Paul Street (north of Leonard Street). Residents and businesses on the streets affected will still be able to use their cars.

HEN my mum died in 2009, I started to think about my start in life,” says Asma Shah. “My three sisters and I didn’t have the best start: we went to bad schools and spent time in a refuge. But we still did well, went to university and got professional jobs.” Why? The answer, says Asma, is simple: “We had a good role model. I was brought up by a mother who forged a career for herself against the odds. A woman who started with nothing but was very politically and socially involved. I wanted other girls from backgrounds like mine to have that too.” Today Asma runs You Make It, an extraordinary programme that runs in Hackney and is open to unemployed women aged from 18 to 30. Over the course of six months, each woman gets a mentor, personal development workshops, work placements and more. They develop skills, networks and, perhaps most importantly, confidence and self-belief. The statistics speak for themselves. While 82 per cent of the women with whom the charity works are claiming benefits at the programme’s start, only five per cent continue to do so after graduating. But, says Asma, 2018 is going to be difficult. A current time limited Big Lottery grant comes to an end at the end of the year.

We had a good role model. I was brought up by a mother who forged a career for herself against the odds is still there. Just as many women need us now as they did when I first launched the pilot. “2011 was a time of austerity. The inequality in London was so stark. It spurred me on to create

11

some change.” So determined was she, that she launched the pilot project with just £2,000 to cover basic expenses. Asma recalls: “I would spend six months fundraising, then six

months delivering the programme, then start all over again.” It sounds exhausting, but Asma was driven by personal experience. After graduating from university she held management positions at nationally branded cultural and creative industries. Yet, she says: “I would always leave unhappy. I would be treated differently from my colleagues because I came

from a different place. I would be paid less, promoted less, given more work to do. And I would never challenge it. “I would never ask: why aren’t I being paid as much? I would never say: why, in meetings, are you not hearing me, when I say exactly the same thing as a white, middle class colleague? I didn’t ask, because I didn’t honestly feel like I belonged there.” Many of the women with whom You Make It works come from BAME (black, Asian and ethnic minority) backgrounds like her own. Asma says: “I wanted all of them to be really prepared for the workplace. For the realities of the possible prejudice they might face. But also, most importantly, equipped to call it out and challenge it effectively.” It seems that they do. One hundred per cent of the programme’s graduates say that they now feel more confident, genuinely caredfor and understood. As a result, Asma says: “82 per cent of our graduates are now in paid employment, are working on their own start-up or are in formal education.” Despite the financial insecurity the charity faces, Asma continues to plan for a bigger and brighter future for You Make It. She says: “In 2019, we see ourselves establishing a knowledge hub and running courses for other organisations with a stake in supporting young people to develop. Our model works.” You Make It has a 90 per cent retention rate and, Asma continues: “a lot of our graduates stay in touch. I see the changes in their self-belief, their confidence. There’s a lot we can share.”

Great Apes

5. STOKE NEWINGTON GHOST SIGNS WALK

Until 21 April, Arcola Theatre, 24 Ashwin Street, E8 3DL

Award-winning tour of the area’s ‘ghost’ signs led by local researcher Sam Roberts See Noticeboard

So goes the plot of Great Apes, the latest play to premier at the Arcola, based on a short story by Will Self. Patrick Marmion, the unfortunate character at the centre of this Kafta-esque conundrum, starts out as a Turner Prize winning

artist and ends up in the care of a radical psychiatrist, who attempts to rid him of the psychotic delusion that he is human. This is the first time any of Self’s surreal stories has been adapted for the stage and Marmion’s production does not shrink from the strangeness of its narrative, matching it with creative forms of stagecraft like puppetry and movement. There is humour and provocation, but the question at the heart of the play is a serious one: what does it mean to be human?

AN intense but important play about two lost characters’ search for freedom explodes on to the Arcola Theatre in April. Moormaid, written by Marion Bott, seeks to better understand people caught up in extremism, capturing the essence of the human’s capacity for self-destruction. Bott’s inspiration for Moormaid came in 2014, when she discovered that two of her old classmates had travelled to Syria to fight for IS and didn’t come back. She was shocked by the banality with which the news was discussed and how this absurdity has now become a normality. The play tackles challenging issues that are often neglected: cultural differences, radicalisation, mental health, self-acceptance and isolation. Set in Berlin, it follows art teacher Melissa and her ex-pupil, Medhi who is looking for somewhere to hide. Both embark on a turbulent journey, painting and battling their way through the past. Moormaid runs from 18 April to 19 May. For more info and tickets, visit: www.arcolatheatre.com/event/ moormaid Hackney Today is giving away a pair of tickets to Moormaid at Arcola Theatre in Dalston.

News in brief ELATT project wins TES award

Stars in their eyes Donna Davis, winner of the Schools Star Award; Liam Charles from the Great British Bake Off; Teacher of the Year, Debbie Ashton, with Kat B (inset)

CHOOL staff who devoted their working lives to helping pupils enjoy learning and overcome barriers to academic and personal achievement were recognised at the Hackney School Stars awards. Donna Davis, from Wentworth Nursery School; Debbie Ashton, from Grasmere Primary School; and Rose Flaherty, from Parkwood Primary School were chosen as winners by a judging panel from 62 nominations by pupils, parents and colleagues. The awards recognise everyone that contributes to school life in Hackney – from teachers to caretakers, cleaners and cooks. Donna Davis, Early Years Educator & Learning Support Coordinator, won

I do my job as I want children and families to achieve, I go home happy every day the Schools Star Award. She was nominated by a parent of an autistic boy after becoming his key worker and transforming his communication, social and interaction skills. Donna said: “I feel really honoured to win this award, I do my job as I want children and families to achieve, I go home happy every day and I feel like my work is the true reward.” Debbie Ashton was named Teacher of the Year, after being nominated by a parent who praised her for transforming her daughter’s attitude to learning.

Debbie said: “A big thank you to all my colleagues and the pupils at Grasmere School: I couldn’t have done it without them. Hackney is a great place to work.” Rose Flaherty won the Schools’ Lifetime Achievement award after 40 years service as a meals supervisor. Rose voluntarily leads the school’s breakfast club to ensure all children, no matter what background, can begin the

day with a nutritious meal. Without her generosity the school could not operate this free service. The event took place at Hackney Town Hall on 8 March. It was compered by presenter Kat B and saw former Hackney pupil and contestant of Great British Bake Off, Liam Charles, make an appearance.

A HACKNEY project devoted to turning migrant and refugee women into vocal campaigners, has won a prestigious national award for ‘challenging all sorts of racial and gender stereotypes’. Run by Hackney-based adult learning charity ELATT and TELCO, the East London community organising branches of Citizens UK, the Equal Voices project helps newly arrived migrant and refugee women to gain the skills needed to become community leaders and campaigners. Last year, 104 women enrolled in the project, arriving in a state of social isolation, economic deprivation or both. Once involved, they took part in workshops celebrating their skills, English classes and community volunteering. The programme’s impact is extraordinary. These same women were involved in launching five national campaigns, five local campaigns, and three charity fundraisers. Twenty four went on to become ‘community guides’ for ELATT, helping others who are disempowered or isolated. Last month, this transformation was recognised at the national TES FE Awards, where Equal Voices won an award for ‘contribution to the local community’.

Schools’ mental health funding SCHOOLS in Hackney have been given a boost to the mental health support they receive, after an award of funding to the local City & Hackney Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) Alliance. The pilot started this month and if successful, it will be rolled out across other schools in the borough. The money will enable 60 schools to participate in the national pilot of the Mental Health Services and Schools Link Programme with the Anna Freud Centre. The programme helps develop and build understanding between partners and improve access to support for children and young people. In addition, the local CAMHS service will be working with Hackney Learning Trust in supporting schools to identify areas of strength and develop wellbeing and mental health action plans, suited specifically for each school’s needs.

Secondary schools needed for the Social Business Challenge AN innovative new project, aimed at encouraging young people to solve the world’s key environmental problems, is launching in Hackney. The Social Business Challenge is the brainchild of Henry Greenwood. A former maths teacher at Skinners’ Academy, he set up the Green Schools Project in 2015 with

a mission to help schools become more eco-friendly. The scheme’s latest project has an even more ambitious remit. Together with Morgan Phillips, former head of the national Eco-Schools programme, Greenwood hopes to get pupils developing business ideas as well as environmental solutions.

Working in groups, students will design their own ‘social business’ – a profitmaking enterprise aimed at making the world more eco-friendly. Their business plans will then be judged by a panel of ethical business people, while the winner will present their idea to MPs at the Houses of Parliament.

Phillips and Greenwood are currently crowdfunding the £2,500 needed to roll out the challenge, and are looking for secondary schools in Hackney to take part in the project’s pilot. Schools can sign up by visiting: www. greenschoolsproject.org.uk/ social-business-challenge

TAMFORD Hill was home to the first American-style bowling alley in the UK, which opened to much fanfare on 20 January 1960. The opening of the Ten Pin Bowling Centre was attended by celebrities of the day including Everest mountaineer Sir John Hunt, boxer Henry Cooper, Hollywood star Douglas Fairbanks Jr and cricketers Alec and Eric Bedser. Entrance was free for the first 10 days and the alley even had an onsite nursery equipped with TV screens so that mothers could bowl and keep an eye on their children. The building, located at 158 Clapton Common, originally opened in 1928 as the very glamorous Stamford Hill Cinema and was converted to a bowling alley at a cost of £50,000. The building was eventually demolished and the site is now home to Asda. Archives staff would like to hear from anyone who recognises the bowlers on this page so that their stories can be preserved as part of the history of the borough.

MORE INFO Hackney Archives will be featuring photographs from the Gibson collection in each edition of Hackney Today. If you recognise anyone in the photos, phone: 020 8356 8925; or e-mail: [email protected]
