Representatives from the Big Lottery Fund, ECOTEC and NICVA all attended a special networking and learning event for the Reaching Communities programme on Thursday 17 September 2009.
Reaching Communities NI, funded by the Big Lottery Fund, was launched in April 2006 with the aim of improving communities and the lives of people most in need. Approximately £18 million was made available for distribution between 2006 and 2009. In addition, the Big Lottery Fund put in place a development and support programme, delivered by NICVA, to support and build the capacity of grantholders to ensure the effective delivery of their projects and their outcomes.

This project widened the options available to the GP service in Bridport, Dorset in providing for those with minor mental health problems. Participants self-referred or were referred by GPs and screened as part of the Improving Access to Psychological Therapies scheme (IAPT). As one of a number of therapy options available, they were offered a series of workshops with artist Marc Yeats and writer Rosie Jackson. These explored the theme of nature through walks, photographs, drawings and poetry. The resulting artworks and poetry have been produced in book form.
The project aims to increase participants’ confidence, skills and interests and raise awareness of the benefits of nature in tackling depression. An evaluation of it investigated the use of creative activities within primary care and the contribution they can make to a reduced reliance on the primary care team. Funding has been secured to continue Dorset Reach for a further year, with a particular emphasis on giving participants the confidence to stay in or return to employment.
ms Oosterdamn visits Juneau Alaska. I had to wait for it, but I thought this would be a great shot showing the mural reaching out to the man walking by. It sort of works but the animals sort of distract from the power of that message.

Finzels Reach - "a new city quarter", apparently. It looks to me rather like overscaled, dull and lumpen blocks of flats and offices with a few token bits of public space (which will actually be private).
Let's hope I'm wrong.
You set a goal
then you get to a very end of it
what next?
set new goal to pursue?

Australian Members of Parliament took time out of their busy schedule on their whirlwind trip to the Philippines to visit an AusAID funded project assisting persons with disabilities. In the photo, the delegation pose with AusAID-PACAP staff and REACH volunteers.
Beverley Brook reaches the Thames. This was the point where I had to abandon my walk along the river bed... I have crossed Beverley Brook before, between Raynes Park and New Malden in the New Line to Guildford walk last year.

CBC RADIO BROADCASTING STUDIO
Public radio reached millions, broadcasting government instructions during times of crisis. It would have been a lifeline during a nuclear war.
Imagine the worst-nuclear explosions have destroyed cities across the country. Turn on the radio, and hear the familiar, reassuring voice of CBC broadcasters bringing you up-to-date information about the situation.
The CBC is responsible for control of the Emergency Broadcasting System. Control of national emergency messages during a nuclear war would have come from this studio, and connected to all affiliated CBC stations via regional "black box" devices.
Although the government was prepared, this emergency CBC system never had to be tested in the event of a real nuclear attack.
“…maintenance of the CBC radio station...was a fun but scary kind of job. Fun because there was a lot of equipment there for playing records and recording...The scary part was connecting to the national warning centre and sending the signal down the line to warn of an imminent nuclear attack."
