third nineteen eighty nine this is margaret with jo ellen in the home of nan glasgow well when margaret suggested er doing a project on french polishing i had to admit that i didnt really know what french polishing was er mhm could you tell me er well french polishing is what they term the original polishing of furniture you know that was now that is a mahogany table now that table is in its been stripped now the first er process after that its all sanded down and then theres a sort of whitening mixture stooking mixture is all rubbed into that and youve to wait till it dries then thats rubbed up thats to fill in the grain of the wood that helps it you dont need so much polish if they use that they they fill that in then after that its all sanded down and its its stained after that its stained and then its sanded down youd use a terrific amount of sandpaper its all sanded down again then you put your first coat now you use what you call a rubber which is consists of a piece of cotton wool you know you know cotton wool mm that you use like the chemist yes and a cotton rag over the top of that and you have er french polish which is shellac mhm and methylated spirits its diluted with methylated spirits and its raw linseed oil you dip your you have it in a dish and you dip this pad into the into this dish and you put a little drop of raw linseed oil on that and you work it in and you go round and round in circles and you you know i mean and thats left you maybe turn this table upside down and then you work on the legs mhm the same procedure and you coat that then you leave it and then its sanded down again and er the same procedure only you use thinner polish you know you dilute it you make your polish thinner and you dilute it with more methylated spirits but youve got to be very very careful because if you use too much methylated spirits it cuts and takes the polish off so and you have to dont use too much oil and you use the oil on it you know and then when you get what we call a good body on it thats when all the pores is filled up and then its sanded down again then you do what you call colour it now youve seen different see that see that light part of the wood mm there well you mix up er you mix up some colours black and er and black and wh i stuff bismarck brown which mix them together and you make a colour to match up the rest and maybe bring in darker streaks and make a pat you know what i mean mm see that would have to be all darkened down that see that light bit of the wood thats got to be all darkened down and brought up the colours is all sort of you see matching and that you know sort of match thats french polished mhm you can see thats got a there mm its just polisher he could get a job see that so however and then you start youve got to start and use very little polish and very little methylated spirits and what we call to work out the the all that oil has to be lifted out and its you dra its you work in circles and work in circles cos that fills in the pores and then near when youre on maybe bout the last th th takes about three or four coats you know working on it all depends just how how how long it takes to get it filled up and after your colouring after your colouring you sandpaper it very very f very fine sandpaper and er you get out give it another coat with a thingummy and then you work straight across straight across and you just gradually add maybe just a wee drop of methylated spirits till you get all that oil and you see it glistening you know the oil gets lifted out you know and then you leave it its what they term soft and its got to be left to sort of harden you know and then some instances some people prefer a dull polish they dont like a a very bright and theyll say what they call pumi powdered pumice stone and they put that sprinkle that on and its got to be done a certain way with a brush so to not to leave any marks you know to brush it and it leaves a very very dull surface you see lots of er antique dealers and you know people that you know theres theres different classes of people that like well what they term the dull polish and others like a really brilliant polish you know they like to see their things shining like a threepenny bit but er theres quite a lot of its its hard work you know it really is its hard work but er when just before i left the polishing which was in nineteen thirty eight er they were bringing in a lot of cellu its all th a lot of all this modern stuff is what they call cellulose but i couldnt tell you how its done its done with a spray i never work because it was a small workshop that i worked in and in the south side where i belonged there was an awful lot of polish people and jews and they had all these wee furniture places and they made up there was quite a community you know they were had wee workshops and cabinet makers and my boss was a latvian and er he was a first class tradesman you know really really made quite good stuff and er was very very fussy very very fussy you know so but what what was the name of the firm well he was called fred you know german you know c its yeah you know eh er but er he had flown from latvia he said that he used to tell me about his country that you know it was taken over by the russians and then itd be taken over by the germans and you know what i mean and then he he him and his wife fled you know that would be er er the you know the rising the communist rising you know they came to britain penniless mm but he was a first class tradesman but there was a whole lot there was an awful lot of polish community cabi what part thats south side where in the south side where all round about er the clydeside you know round about erm is it no no er in the sou the ths north the its the south side of the river right enough but the south side that er im talking about is the er round about the richmond park and the the you know facing the the you the other side of the glasgow green street along that way and all that area and all that area what street was fred on he was on the street it was that street then and er just a small three roomed shop and they had er they had cabinet makers and french polishers you know but he had worked with a big er in a great big firm and he then he branched out on his own you know but he was a very very hard worker you know and er my chums mother she was a forewoman french polisher and he asked her to come and er work along with him you know but it was i mean that was during the depression years that was in the the twenties right through to the you know the the first bright spot was when the queen mary got started it gave people and then of course just after that things was beginning to pick up but it was really preparing for war thats but er then of course i got married and i never went to i used to do occasional stuff you know but i never enjoyed it er mhm but there were some like cathys er my chum was cathy and it was her mother and she was a first class french french polisher you know and her daughter was a french polisher who was a chum of mine and her son was a cabinet maker and er we used to laugh we used to say different people you say oh my your house must be lovely mrs er youve two french polishers and she used to say i had to run and shut all the doors she says for the blue bloom you know the bloom that comes on furniture you know is that what you call it the blue bloom blue bloom is that an official name no its just a sort of you know youve seen furniture you know that thats sort of damp its the atmosphere that causes it you know of course right yes yes mm but er you used to say oh mrs oh your place must be lovely she said to run and shut all the doors she says in case the folk see the blue bloom because she was out working of course and cathy was out working and her her her sons was were were all you know what i mean they were all but e the father wasnt working he only got started to work just about a couple of years before the war he was idle for years you know but it was er you know it was a lot of wee thriving community you knowju just wee individual shops you know but they were nearly all there was an awful lot of jews that you know that what youd term the gorbels thats i couldnt get the name the gorbels area aha the gorbels area was surrounded with er you know wee cabinet making shops and all that sort of thing you know but er is there anything else you would like to know girls sure erm its such an exact craft such and art how did you how did get into it how did you well actually how i got into it was i was idle at the time and er my two chums were french polishers and as ive said and they said er now would you like to come in and try it well at that particular time on the bureau the means test was prevalent then and you were getting twelve shillings a week and i started with twelve shillings a week mhm and my my aunt that i my grandmother that i stayed with their neighbour down the stair was quite indignant and saying im away to work and shes getting twelve shillings the same and my aunt said well i would prefer her to to if thats what she wants to do and shes gonna learn something that might be a benefit to her later on in life thats that so that was er that was how and i was in i was i was at well i think i was about nineteen er eighteen or nineteen at the time you know mm and then of course er nineteen thirty eight i got married mhm you know but the boss had actually failed then he was he was actually yes he failed because l all clever tradesmen they had a drink problem you know and th this was the you know it was just his business had failed you mean yes yes yeah business had failed aha and er there was a great big cabinet making place along street at the at the gorbels and after i was married during the war there was a terrific fire and he was burned to death in the lift going up to bring the girls down he went to back to work in the factory in the big cabinet making factory and there was a fire and he went up to help some of the girls and he was trapped in the lift mm and he was burned to death you know there was there was quite a there was quite a number of people er lost their lives at that particular time what year was that now it must have been er it was during the war now the war was er thirty nine i think it would be er i think it would be about s forty one or forty two you know and his his son worked in the same er place but er there was a lot there was a lot of girls and th i dont know what had what had happened but i mean that was the worst thing hed went up in the lift and there was quite there was some other the rest of the people in the lift er was trapped and was burned to death you knowtragic end but erm this was at erm you know he was a very very intelligent man and you know he could talk on any subject you know but this is it thats life you know so how many years were you a french polisher then you started in nineteen i would say i would say a a i would say about er eighteen about er eight years you know i got married you know how long did it take you to learn how to do well i was thrown in at the deep end different persons came in maybe if we had a job in a hurry and they would say oh youre on at such and such a time at this but then i got pushed forward you know mm you started to work on the insides you know the got er th you varnished and sandpapered the insides of wardrobes thats where you started mm and staining i know the dirty you know the dirty work mm and then gradually they would give you a wee bit say maybe the legs or something to do a er polish you know show you how to start you know how to rubber and how to fold your the cotton wool fo fold the cotton over the the the cotton wool and how to you know just so much but er my was a laugh you know she was really good good te did she show you most of it yes she kept aha she kept y she kept you right er aye she she oh aye she we worked t together you know but was there sometimes it was a hunger and a burst you knowjobs come in mm and they would be oh you know waiting but er it was really funny you used to see couples would order a bedroom suite and you see what do they want theyre getting married getting married and theyd theyd be phoning not ready not ready not ready all they need is the bed all they need is the bed you know you used to all they need is the bed why are they worried about wardrobes when theyre getting married all they needs a bed but er oh he was an awful man you know but er it was its really hard work you know it sounds like it and you know when you start on the inside of wardrobes youre drunk when you come out oh i bet theres the smell of the fumes you know and theres an awful lot of polishers take to drinking methylated spirits you know theres quite a lot of them that used to drink that us the boss used to say i like the polishers they can just blow their breath spirits so it wasnt well ventilated mm no you couldnt i mean er at you know the the doors wouldnt be open be i mean you know you could picture a wardrobe without a door but you were working you were sandpapering that on the inside and er maybe brushing it up and down and then sandpapering that again and then they had to go over with what we call the rubber you know to leave a soft er finish you know and to m make it smooth on the inside cos theyre like satin some of those yes yes aye the old ones are it really is good quality furniture hand finished oh aye mhm mm what sort of folk bought the furniture well er we did er furniture for quite a lot of the well known warehouses and that in street that w they had worked in now i forget the name of the big firm but theyd come out of one of the big er furniture warehouses and they started up on their own and er that was the first time id ever seen a continental headboard and they had got this contract for this er this lawyer who there was a great big er case it had run for long enough something to do with som something to do with a cotton mill in paisley and it was s s s w i c just cannae recall what it was but it was a great big trial there was a and er this this lawyer he had done quite well out of this case but it was a quite that must have been in er about nineteen twenty nineteen thirties about nineteen thirty two but this was this big case was on you know and it went on a big lawsuit it went on for quite a while and the he had er these two men had started up then they started up and i theyre still there to you know what i mean i dont know if theres the same men are there buts still up in street and they started that and they were sent out to this big villa and er that was the first time i had seen a continental headboard and er we couldnt understand what it was you know great big when they you know when they brought it in you know a great big thing you know and we said whats this about do you know and er then of course the bed was put in it and then there was you know things as the s pillars at the side and er wed done quite a l wed hed refurnished his who th you know they got the contract to furnish the whole house and it was beautiful you know very very modern then and er very very up date but it was thats what it thats where er you know there was he had been quite successful in this lawsuit you know hed made quite a bit of money so that was the start of and lots of different and then we used to get er maybe a wee special jobs in for antiques i we did quite a lot of these er these wee slipper boxes antique slipper boxes and we would polish them so far then kick them up and down the shop you know to make them yeah battered and you know you know they were rubbed with soot at the edges and to you know just and then polished up and just to make them look er antique even then they were doing that even aha that was that was then that wa er i mean people knew that they werent antiques but they were imitation antiques you know but they were well made and then er thats one of t the the boss made that cabinet there er its got the feet er but and these are what they call astricles these panes of glass are all in er individually you know theyre all put in and to polish these wee astricles oh you you had to be very deli cos theyre very thin you know and you had to flay them and polish and they lay them in the thing and then they they were fitted in and then the glass was the doors were sent to the glaziers certain amount of polish on them and then the doors were sent to the glazers and then they were finished after that you know but er yeah and then there was another man a way up street and and hed made the claw carved the claw and balls see you can see the claw and balls they were hand carved you know beautiful mm but how long did it take to make erm pieces or like this tale how long would it take to do well to polish it or to make it oh to to polish it to finish it off to polish it well i would say i mean you you would be working on that and then be working on something else something else and you would go back to that and you would maybe have um you maybe had youd maybe have a chest of drawers and the drawers were out and you would be polishing you know doing so much on them put them aside and then go back to that it would take about er it would take about three days like to to really give it and then it would have to lie for a wee while to to harden you know the polish to harden but erm french polish is easier than the cellulose polish mhm because er i mean you put anything hot down on that and e the tip is if you put anything down hot you take a rag and a a saucer with some raw linseed oil and you heat the rag and you rub it gently and it brings sometimes you know the the the white marks mhm and sometimes brasso just dipped you know mhm just brasso er rubbed into it can you know help to lift because theres something in the brasso but it it it needs the heat to lift the the the white p youve seen the white polish mhm stain marks on it well now you know but er theres quite a lot there used to be quite a contingent worked in ships and of course its all stain work and just sprayed now you know oh some beautiful work you know but er theyre really a lot of hard working women you know and er was it mostly women nearly all women now theres men french polishers too theres men half and half or er more one than the other theres more there was more er women french polishers but there there was a quite a there was quite a few men and then there was different er types of polishing there was oak and that didnt have as much work as mahogany and then there was er what they call the i dont know whether youll ever have remembered seeing it but there was a fashion for a while just bef in the thirties what they called limed oak theyre beginning to bring it back in again thats you open the you know you put a layer of polish on so much and sandpapered it down then you put this lime wash and l white like whitening and you rubbed it into the grain and you sandpapered that and it left white mm have you seen it ive seen it mhm i didnt know what it was called thats aha but er oo er thats what it was called er you know the you used a a wire brush to open the pores to rub this into it but th i i i i was reading somewhere that theyre bringing it back in again lime wash you know and er then there was er oak and then there was different kinds of woods that you used to could you know s er imitate make them look like maybe er er walnut thats walnut there that was a wee er that er made that on the south side thats a record cabinet mm but er it was made to my uncles specification like you know just for keeping gra er gramophone records in you know but er this this is it would they have been old fashioned records the seventy eights aye theres er theres one of carusos records in there ive got caruso my uncle alec was he came away from america he was in america when the world war broke out mm first world war broke out and er he brought the gramophones were just being introduced i mean america had them you know really and he brought one that er i think one or two carusos records the the great big old fashioned record there brought quite a lot of and he brought the gramophone with him you know and he come over to fight for his country but er och aye but th to go back to the the polishing it really was it was you know really hard work and but there was a great band of i mean the the used to different firms that would h have a lot of work on one place and then they would move and then some would go to the shipyards and there was a lot of work at that particular time in the shipyards you know for polishers you know when the boat was yes and the though some were would actually go on the boats when after they were launched and finish the polishing you know but i never ever worked on a boat you know but er just er just different er then during the war i i did the some of the er work for the cooperative you know like fire damage or water damage and that you know but er i never worked very much after a after i got married i used to do just occasional jobs you know and at that particular time there used to be er what do you call it the fashion was mantlepieces oh yes and that was one of the first jobs i i practically did on my own somebodyd asked me and everybody was wanted their er these er imitation fireplaces you know mhm the mantlepiece it was a wooden and pillars you know this was all down here and this this alld to be french polished that was j that was the ne about thirty six thirty seven everybody was wanting their french polished you know and then pull out tables was in vogue then and er they were quite tricky to to work with too and er chairs there was some factories did nothing else but chairs you know that er french pol there was er factories away out at that just er that did nothing else but take chair work you know mhm and erm my used to tell me about er when they were serving their time all the apprentices used to clump their work on a monday afternoon to go to the panopticon and at that particular time they had turns on and if they didnt like them they pelted them with tomatoes and oranges and they had a big hook for for pulling them off the stage where was this you know where the is well theres a building just along there its its into er shops now but there was a well it was er er er no aye aye he had this erm he was really a you know he was really a character one of the glasgow characters and he had this theatre the panopticon and er the the apprentices er and the polish the you know the cabinet makers you know young boys and the f the the younger apprentices used to plunk on a monday afternoon and all go along to street to the this and she says you didnt need to buy sweeties it was the rails of the gallery were sticking with toffee was really finny and she says they you know what i mean they had a great they really had a good laugh would they lose an afternoons pay aha they werent paid they would no the the this was just at a just a custom you know mhm mhm this is a just a custom you know and they just all skipped er their work and and they had a a right what we call a good tear now the cabinet makers were serving their time an apprenticeship you say aha was that a five year apprenticeship yes be a five year then and and what about the french polishers did you call that an apprenticeship too well while you had an apprenticeship you had about four years before you were fully fledged had four years aha mm had four year and then you you went to a youd a sort of four year er and after that you could you really were in control of anything well you were supposed to be able to you know be able to take command you know but into your fifth year and you were supposed to be really you know fully fledged but i mean you hade about four years to serve you know but er oh there was a happy bane you know it was good there was good company we had er we were all quite good friends and quite good company you know but er we enjoyed it and as i say it was just like a family yes so just like a family would you do anything special say one of the girls got married or something like that er well there was none of them got married during the time that i was there i mean that er shortly after it molly was married at er aye just a just before the war er broke out molly was married and cathy got married during the war and i got ma er no the three of us got married just round about the same time you know but as i say the boss had er lost his business by then you know but erm well you know what i mean th it was it was quite er it was really quite a sort of family atmosphere mm i mean mrss son was a cabinet maker and the bosss son was there and then there was another paul he was a cabinet maker and er then the boss and we just all sort of worked you know sometimes we had a quite a lot of work going and other times we wouldnt have anything and other times you were standing waiting doing nothing waiting in the job g coming for the cabinet makers who would send through legs something to get started just as long as we got started to work maybe it was in a hurry we just started on different things you know but er and other times we were just we were working to you know quite late you know if the there was a special job that had to be out you know but we did quite a a lot of work for e g in er street they were quite a well known er furniture very select furniture dealer you know different shops nice stuff and we did a lot of bureaus you know like like writing bureaus wr writing bureaus and er well th apprentices i was b started on the what they call the pigeon holes theyre they you theyre all worked you know sandpapered and polished thats rough what they call rough work and then you gradually go onto the maybe staining and the just quite a lot of oak and theres quite a lot of mahogany and walnut and theres then he used to make great big er display cabinets with a cabinet with a full panelled door in the centre and two doors similar what your granny had you know and er two w like er glass display cabinets in either side and sometimes a bureau fitted on you know whatever was the order but er then there was others sort of cheap joints you know they just rushed things up and just a couple of just er when you see some of th you know that goodwill shop that that the thing when you when you see a lot of the things thats supposed to be polished you know theyre just varnished over theyre not polished you know aye theyre not really polished but however i suppose it but it takes its like everything else but its a dead it really is a trade er graham was saying to m to me when i was down in london he says its a pity mum that you couldnt get work you know i mean you just didnt have the you know your age and that to start work down here he says thered be plenty of work for you you know yes mhm plenty skill same with sign writers and all these sort of trades theyre all you know theyre you know theyre lacking a lot in the these things he says theres stacks of work he says down i in london for people like that you know thats that are skilled thatre skilled you know yes you dont here of many french polishers now no mhm no do you know any er no i cannae say that er er there is one i i think there there used to be a a lad up the road there i used to speak to his mother and she said he son was a french polisher and my neighbours husband down the stair he was a first class french polisher but he died a good about erm eight or nine years ago and i have some of his polishes he sent brought his polishes up to me but theyre still waiting on me polishing this mm table here so some of these graham stripped it down but some of these days ill take a daft notion and er three days for three days for three days well whats easier starting from scratch with a new thing that a cabinet maker has made or re refurbishing work like doing something over thats had marks and stuff oh i think er starting fr its harder work starting well its hard work anyway th i mean sometimes er a a job thats been polished before its patchy but i mean thats really all stripped down to you know what i mean its its a its thats all stripped down to ready for you know back to sort of its original you know but i see the likes of that wee there that wee dent in that yes now do you know how you would fix that no idea you would take a wet rag and a file you know an ordinary file heat your file and put your wet rag on that and put the file the hot file you know just yes touch it up and that the dap and the heat rises the wood oh right that rises the wood that would dry dry that kicks the dent out tha aha just keep at it or if it was too deep you could fill it with wax mhm and what they call thats just something like you know the the wax for er for s for sealing sealing wax its something like that and just you heat it and drip it in thats if the dent was awful deep and you just put a drop in there heated and leave it till it hardens and then sandpaper it down level you know that er that brings it up but er tha this is how the the different things but er n see thats a water mark there well thats been caused with a plant being put down in that now thatll take more sandpapering there and a bit camouflaging with your you wou use wee tiny tiny brushes mhm what they call colour brushes you know to bring up the colour and just bring you know just that sort of to raise that so its just like painting its a mm very artistic yes and your your eyesight gets very strained yes im sure aha aye very strained with it you know but er the colouring is really anybody thats really good at the colouring you know what i mean they could do wonderful things you know you could make plain wood look like like erm sort of walnut mhm you know they can make the designs with yes these wee pencil brushes that colouring in bring out different er sort of you know knots and you know they bring in the pencil yes marks and just er sort of make them brighter looking and you know just make them a s a standing point you know what was your favourite thing to do what was er my favourite thing er well i couldnt tell you that i was always because i started later i was always very sort of worried in case i wouldnt you know get the thing right er i liked the colouring mm and i liked er the the polishing you know the what they call building up a body but i was always you know always awful tense at er theres a wee theres a wee woodworm there sitting you mean a live one aye never thats gosh no its its you wouldnt see it no just er it might of been of course i had plants through there it might have been mm yes yes mm but theres no woodworm there in that but it was just a wee just a tiny wee thing there mm and er woodworms are is a rotten thing you know mm its a rotten er and you can you you know youve to fill all the wee tiny holes dab them all with these rentokil things to kill them but erm can be a rotten thing to work with sometimes i they take the the hole the out and renew it then when it the colouring i thats when your colouring a good colourer is really mhm its like an its very artistic you know work hard you know if mhm anybody can camouflage and bring up the colouring you know but er the likes of that see that mahogany band round there yes well you see you bring in your dark strokes of course mhm you know you highlight these lights at you know highlight them erm and the likes of these bring them out you know see thats these are these are beech legs theyre not mahogany theyre beech you get to lear know all the woods then quite a lot i have yes some aha yes but sad to say the forests are getting more depleted there are good woods now you know that er this is it this is another factor of er the wood you know er there er i think anybody would be thats really handy with or that and keen on woodwork theres quite a lot of old furniture that er they could you know remake mhm with the old type of wood in them you know but erm its a its a game yes did you ever have commissions say for big houses like stately homes that kind of thing er well that was about the biggest that that we worked on and we maybe had er some things for churches mm er for to you know different er wee things and er aye sometimes er different er wee sort of wee tables for churches and yes wee things like that but i couldnt sa i couldnt say that i ever worked on any of the big no big houses you know but er i would i would have liked to have been able to done that you know but we used to get sent out to after the stuff left out the the shop we used to have to go maybe touch up anything mm that had got marked mm in a lot of the different houses you know thing is that the furniture trade was really booming thenbegin that was in the thir you know in the th er early thirties that was the yes really the turn of the circle you know the the the furniture trade th the

is i know theres one where you used to have to keep it its watch it theres a car coming over the bridge whats this shes got something stuck up her bo bottom yeah shes got somebody stuck up her bottom whats the matter you know what we four add four and then four add four equals eight two times four equals eight right yeah like that and then two and two times four is eight erm i didnt write it like that then right share the total of fives yeah i done yeah i done er five five five is fifteen five add five add five erm is fifteen and then erm right is fifteen and then and sixes sixes six si add six add six add six add six is thirty six right six times six is thirty ive done that one sixes thats it okay erm this ill leave that out leave that out add them up mm that much closer can use those pictures take a look are they near the box yeah is that right four four is twenty so its four so four times five is twenty four times five equal twenty er two times six equals twelve er four times three equal twelve er two additions left alright those two add so its like one two one two and one there and but put like erm seven add seven add seven is is twenty one yeah seven add seven add seven is twenty one one and three times seven right is twenty one and do it that way five and fives okay two addition questions hang on two ad yeah but youve got right two multiple and two addition equations not equations you told us this but i thi like these these are equations so two addition equations er three times se seven plus seven plus seven is twenty one right oh a so but you can also go yeah yeah add three three plus three plus three plus three plus three plus three is twenty one do it that way on do you follow yeah me yes i do right two multiplication yeah and two addition two addition right so you like you yes thats right then its like erm one seven times three and three times seven and three times seven thats right and you do the same there same on the adds and then this we do like right she wants currency in two divisions in each right so its one two three fourfi that multiplication is a yeah well divisions okay so its twenty one shared by say if thats one two three four five six int it oh i know what ive got six times three is eighteen or three times six is eighteen i know what ive done ive put the i thought it was er okay six and division is shared by so you got to do eighteen shared by six is three and eighteen have you got shared by three is six so like you go one two three four five six six times you swap three six times three times three is eighteen is three times six six yeah and and you got six times three and three times six a and division is eighteen shared by three is six and eighteen shared by six is three yeah got it i cannot read three sixes are eighteen you got it and you do the same there hang on i havent finished thirty three one yet thats what i dont get why do multiplication equation for this similar line i dont a get how you do that is it would you like us to put its fours int it its fours no two four six eight ten twelve yeah it thats twos no but its going to fours look its going to fours alright going into fours what would i put er one four is four two fours are eight and thre three fours is twelve as this is been shared by lines int it yeah and its on that one you do it like that do you yeah cos its being shared by oh so its i would say that is er nine times four equals thirty six and on that one is er sixty three shared by nine six time sixty three divided by nine four no sixty three divided by nine is six write six through it ten six innit no its ten sixes no no wait a minute nines what should nine times ten emma one nine is nine two nines are eighteen three nines are twenty seven four nines are thirty six five nines are forty five six nines fifty four seven nine are sixty three oh thank you right yeah seven nines are sixty three hang on a minute six nines are seven nines are sixty three hang on a minute seven seven nines are sixty three sixty three yeah you work them out like that look yeah well seven nines well ee er it takes you so long look one one nine is nine yeah two nines are eighteen so that one there is sixes into si thirty six i know but i still dont get what you have to write well multiplication equation for this number line i would say is er ive already told you that no but i dont know what i have to i have to write eight times four equals thirty six dont get it because its one two three four five six seven eight no sorry nine times four is thirty six nine times four equals thirty six like this look write it out on a piece of paper and youll and ill write them down no you do it yourself ive told you what to do you do it like that i dont get it though ill tell you

epi constituency epi is a constituency of vanuatu many successful shops seminars too the topics discussed included how to attract new volunteers how to make the most of the window the shop layout how save the children spend the money and oh the list goes on they were all very enjoyable and useful seminars if you attended the lunchtime fringe meeting on shops you probably had even more food for thought now looking for the future is there an opportunity on the shop front for further growth heres a mini report welcome to save the children in sutton coldfield where children from school have taken over the shop for a day school is a big supporter of the save the children fund princess anne is the president of the charity and she visited the school three years ago for the golden jubilee the children running the shop today are all aged eight and from the third year at school but how much do they know about what the shop does erm it likes erm not much it seems so i asked manageress janet to explain the money we make in this shop goes to erm save the children fund which supports children in countries abroad particularly in africa where youve probably seen pictures on television children starving children who who are orphans children on the move refugees erm people that have nothing nothing at all and a lot of the money is spent in this country erm particularly in cities very poor areas of the cities the children learned how to do all the jobs that make a shop work opening the boxesstacking the cards ive been on the tills and serving the customer putting the things in bag time to hand back to the grownups and time for this reporter to go back to school congratulations and thank you to shop and branch volunteers large and small you work so tirelessly for the fund many of you are in this hall today now and thousands more are not please pass on our warmest thanks to them all i would also like to thank the staff who work with and support the volunteers in so many ways thank you for your help and guidance so what will our birthday year be like for volunteers challenging without doubt because we need to raise twenty five percent more in branches and shop donations to hit our target but the year should also be exciting and enjoyable too i hope there is so much fund raising knowledge and experience amongst our volunteers i was amazed during a recent visit to headquarters of the number of requests for posters and tickets i saw when i was leafing through that bible the design it file the variety of events were as ever absolutely astounding bingo in swaffham book sales craft fairs cream teas open gardens in canterbury you could go to an evening of wine and wisdom winchcombe branch held a wonderful candlelit salmon supper in leominster they chose plonk and pate on the music front scottish string quartets a juke box jive a opera were in store this fund raising fair is our bread and butter and it is top quality so for success in the seventy fifth i say to any volunteer who asks me do what you always do stick to your tried and tested methods because thats what you know best but go for a little more many of you have played what we come to call the seventy fifth game where we round up to seventy five so if you used to charge fifty p for programmes consider could you charge seventy five p if you held and event last year and fifty five people attended could you go for seventy five this year invite groups to raise seventy five pounds for us or seven hundred and fifty pounds or dare i say it seven thousand five hundred pounds in shops could you select better quality goods for a seven pound fifty rail and could the shop team keep shops open an extra seven and half hours in the best trading week for example so please everyone put a little more into the seventy fifth and get more out i now want to draw on some major fund raising themes directly linked to the seventy fifth there are four national events some of which will be familiar the first is save the children fund week as you know the seventy fifth will be launched on the twenty sixth of april nineteen ninety four can you make the most of the week and the wonderful opportunity well have for collecting in tesco stores we have a real chance here just look at your superb performance to date nineteen ninety three save the children fund week raised nine hundred and forty six thousand pounds a staggering nine percent increase on the previous year more branches than ever joined in six hundred and seventy four in all and collections took place at more tescos than ever two hundred and twenty five the increase has been steady thanks to all the tremendous effort put in by our volunteers and staff i particularly want to mention the east anglia and east midlands region where a hundred percent of branches participated yes an inspiration to us all in northern ireland where unfortunately there are no tesco stores there is a set target aimed at getting a minimum save the children fund week involvement in seventy five percent of branches this is ambitious but i know you will do well knowing how mativ motivated and generous people of norlan northern ireland are but where there isnt a branch near a tescos how can we make sure that the collections are still carried out well i want to encourage you to think of asking other groups you know to help and individuals too if you can come up with lots of names let the nearest branch or your area organiser know this is the way well meet our aim of covering all the four hundred and fifty tescos stores the second event is our birthday parties a fund raising idea of judy a volunteer from scotland the actual birthday is the nineteenth of may as you know to mark this we are asking all our supporters to hold a party for us on that day or as near to it as possible its a wonderful opportunity for volunteers in shops and branches and oneoff groups to contact all the people whove supported them and save the children over the years we want it to be a day of celebration but not only that as with all parties we hope to receive presents but the presents must be money for save the children i cant stress enough how we would love to get a hundred percent response for the parties from all our branches so get the balloons and the collecting bins out please and please make the most of the idea thirdly there will be a national raffle with a car as the main prize this year many branches are keen on the raffle arranged by ian the treasurer of wakefield branch and david area organiser for yorkshire south lots of you applied for and sold tickets and the winning ticket was drawn by the princess royal during the lunch period in the right place a raffle can be a winner by persuading a friendly car dealer to loan you a car to put in a shopping centre or at a country show many branches have raised a hundred and fifty to two hundred pounds a day or even more check as there may be insurance problems but dont be put off or how about getting a dealer to supply a cardboard mockup of a car and using this it still grabs the attention shops helpers are vital in selling raffle tickets too so lets really all commit ourselves to the national raffle and make it the biggest and most successful raffle save the children has ever had fourthly on a musical note we are very fortunate that richard stilgoe is composing a special piece of music for save the children the theme of course is childhood and we are putting together a menu of music and readings which will include this new piece the idea is to invite choirs and musicians from all over the united kingdom to use our menu the sheet music and the pack of the fund raising ideas to this end we will be working closely with music aid a group of volunteers from the music world who set up after the tragic ethiopian famine in the mid nineteen eighties we will invite musicians and choirs to raise money for save the children so many of our volunteers in branches and shops belong to or have links with choirs we are calling on all our helpers both adults and children who enjoy music to spread the word or the song look out for the pack it will be ready next spring in time for the events which will continue throughout the year with of course a big christmas push for all those carol concerts so four major fund raising schemes and a lot is being planned locally by branches and by the councils in scotland northern ireland and wales but also special seventy fifth birthday committees are conort coordinating large special events involving branch and nonbranch volunteers like the youth music festival to be held in canterbury cathedral in nineteen ninety four save the children really recognises and values the skills of fund raisers both volunteers and staff your efforts and achievements are always humbling let me just mention some of the ways in which you the volunteers are getting together enriching your skills and supporting each other generally in support of the seventy fifth in london a deputy area representative isabelle is working with a group of well established trading secretaries to encourage other branches less confident in trading to spread their wings isabelle is well supported in this by the staff and i would like to mention how much we appreciate the changes to the trading goods which have taken place in the last year things have really taken off our whole output has gone up a notch if i had t t to give one word to describe it it would be quality just look at our christmas catalogue there has been a great improvement in the range of goods and cards im sure youll all have noticed it too on the education front i believe weve had one of the most successful ever branches residential meetings at bristol university it was an opportunity to place save the children funds current and future aim into historical context and for volunteers a valuable lesson in preparation for the seventy fifth bursaries available this year for the first time broadened the opportunities to attend also throughout the united kingdom there are now school speakers training sessions they began in scotland and to take just one example we are very lucky to have muriel an area representative coordinating the programme in the midlands thank you muriel so to summarise whatever the event whatever your skill whether youre a branch or a nonbranch volunteer i encourage you and everyone else to do something to save the children in nineteen ninety four heres one example for this year of how save the children can work with others the steak pie costs nine pence the spotted dick is tuppence in fact all the prices of the staff cafe today were the same as they were sixty years ago thats because today is the cafes sixtieth anniversary so today we reverted back to what we used to do and its traditional dishes which quite frankly what we build empires onsausages mash and onions steak pie chips and peas and the added twist is that the menu is at nineteen thirty three prices or a donation to the save the children fund the cafe was opened by ambrosio forte sixty years ago its now run by his son mario one shilling and ten pence how much have you spent today then ive spent one and ten pence old money and a donation of course is that a bargain that was an absolute bargain yeah one and six please there you are who said the west ends expensive at least one place in soho here today where you can get a square meal for less than two bob er thatll be one and six please american express you must be joking save the children benefited from that event and the publicity because we were the quickest off the mark in responding to the star cafes request to help with their anniversary event well that takes us on nicely to more interviews this time im coming down to meet members of the audience can you hear me first i am going to look for kathy kathy is our area representative for sussex a very busy lady oh oh yes i see you hello kathy i think first of all you should tell us what an area representative is an area representative is a volunteer just like everybody here in this audience today and i act as a link between the branches and headquarters working with the area organiser but representing the branches for me personally in sussex youre a very busy lady i know and i also believe that your areas got some fantastic ideas for the seventy fifth something to do with a special cake recipe can you tell us about it well when you say cake dont get the wrong ideas erm my idea of a cake the vision that i had of a a three tier cake came to me as i was striding home from a meeting across the downs and i had this vision of a three tier cake the base of the cake was the branches us the foundation of save the children fund doing what we usually do but doing it very very well and very professionally the fetes the coffee mornings the fashion shows the sort of thing that our reputation is built on and then there was the second tier of the cake something a little bit different something a little bit more special for the seventy fifth year but still perhaps working on the tried and tested then i saw the top tier of the cake and that has got to be the er piecepiece de resistance i think as the french say and i know that some very exciting ideas are coming out of the south east region in particular kent has put together a very interesting programme of a festival of food and drink which is taking place at penthurst place near tonbridge wells the last weekend in june and again here at the barbican next year after this particular annual public meeting music aid who you mentioned earlier are putting on a concert er for save the children fund and they hope to raise twenty thousand pounds on that night sussex is still working on its piece de resistance but i hope that were going to get erm what we hope to do together very very soon isnt that wonderful er and thank you kathy for working so hard for us now im going down sally erm well scotland is very enthusiastic about the birthday appeal and we have five major events planned erm two in the glasgow area and two in edinburgh and one up at gleneagles and erm in all of these events were actually pulling in on our peoples expertise to widen our contacts so its not just the fund members who are running these things weve got a ladies luncheon in glasgow for four hundred and the organiser ruth the chair of glasgow branch is being helped by two ladies from the business community erm linda from the bafta award and tessa who has her own marketing company so were hoping to sort of pull in a lot of people from that erm judy the chair of scottish council is yet again holding her charlotte square ball erm this was very very successful two years ago i think you know erm and were hoping for the same success erm we are very lucky that the royal highland show has chosen us to be er the charity this year for the gala preview of the show erm this is er for three hundred people a champagne reception erm sponsored by the bank of scotland so that you go and see the flowers before the show opens the next day so thats rather nice i dont think ill have any difficulty selling the tickets for that and then up at gleneagles we have a proam celebrity golf tournament and thats in conjunction with a dinner and a fashion show and yet again the interesting thing is that the scottish p g a is actually going to run the golf tournament for us so thats a great scoop erm these are all very exclusive events and ticket events so we felt there was a need for a public event and erm what they say in glasgow something for ma pa and the wains and so were having a family fun day at chatlereau country park just south of glasgow at hamilton were hoping and im crossing my fingers here that well get in excess of five thousand people there and the interesting thing is weve got a commercial exhibition at it to give it a flavour of scotland where people will show all the good things made in scotland and were calling it the taste and touch of scotland and hopefully that will offset the cost of all the other other er stalls and things that were holding so erm were going to be very busy i think im sure you are and thank you for being such a wonderful chairman its now my very great pleasure to look for jacqui whos our shop leader of sherborne shop some of you from that part of the world will know that its a wonderful little shop in fact its a gold mine and jacquis going to tell me a little bit about her recipe for running that shop hello jacqui hello i think ill come and sit beside you as theres a spare seat can you tell us a little bit about the recipe for running such a successful shop yes i think that one of the most important things are to have a band of cheerful helpful happy smiling volunteers behind the counter it makes all the difference to the members of the public and the good will that it builds up is terribly important the other things that are important are no cups of coffee no sticky buns on the table er my helpers dont wear trousers or leggings because helpers like the goods come in all sorts of shapes and sizes and some of them look good and some of them dont erm there are all sorts of little rules the every black sack that comes in has to be gone through no matter how grotty somewhere inside it there might be some really very very valuable piece of equipment i think thats right im sure some of you last year or least last week or even last month read about the black sack that had all the wonderful jewels in it that came into a charity shop and i think its a lesson for us all isnt it not not to miss anything in a black sack jacqui absolutely the other tip with black sacks is tip them out on the floor do not plunge the hand into it you get livestock and i have actually had teeth so its one of those things to be very wary of the other thing is window dressing window dressing is incredibly important change the window every other day if possible look for professional help in every aspect hold special events erm linen sales bricabrac anything thats got an appeal to the public but do it through the window i mean the seventy fifth were going to be able to use the window to great advantage its going to be a great display time im sure shes right and i hope thats given some of the shop leaders who are sitting round about me some ideas i i think we cant emphasise too much the importance of the shop window dont you agree oh i think so but above all i think that the helpers and their smiles are the other things that are so important after all they are the bedrock of the fund i know youve got some other amusing stories i dont know if weve time just to tell one more have you got one other story to tell us about your shop there are so many of them one man came in took all his clothes off tried on a load of things and walked out in them i think wed better end the interview there dont you th thank you jacqui oh no youve got something else to tell us one further point is just remember grunge is big fashion so its mega bucks thank you jacqui now its my very great pleasure to i think probably introduce the youngest member of our audience here today and a very good supporter of save the children erm i am sitting down soon beside elise whos travelled all the way from norwich hello elise im going to ask you first of all how old are you are you six no im seven youre seven are you oh right now youve had a very good idea for fund raising i believe havent you and its something to do with your daddy wh what is it can you tell us about it daddy always empties his pockets he empties his pockets well what does he keep in his pockets money lots of money yes i think you is it the pennies you collect yes and where do you put them when you collect them in my jar in your jar and i think youve also taken this jar to school havent you yes yes are you going to tell me what you did with the jar at school i think you asked all the children to help you didnt you yes and what did you do with that jar you took it round the school nope well if it was nope what was it what did you do tell us about what you did with your jar i collected lots of money that was very good and we heard somebody else talking about pennies and how important pennies were this afternoon patricia routledge mentioned pennies as well so with your pennies and her pennies i think we should all make a lot of money for save the children dont you yes good luck next year are you going to do it again for the seventy fifth yes thats wonderful and thank you so much for coming today im now going to look for another young person whos sitting here in our audience im looking for ismar whos come all the way down from dundee to be with us today shes a student at dundee university and has had some brilliant fund raising ideas amongst her friends at the university and shes here sitting in the front row if i sit beside you i think thats easier hello ismar hello now i believe youve had a fashion show is that right yes erm my sister and i organised a charity fashion show in aid of somalia last year a and what made you raise money for somalia did you see something on television or oh yes we saw the the news reports found them rather disturbing erm we thought wed do something to help and decided on a fashion show erm we thought itd appeal to young people and we thought itd be great fun which it was and we raised er one thousand seven hundred pounds congratulations you told me earlier it was fun what else did you do apart from the fashion show erm well we had a a big raffle erm we wrote away to all the local shops and restaurants ask them to donate prizes and we raised a lot of money through that and also my mum erm cooked indian snacks which we sold during the interval erm which everyone loved and so it worked quite well and i think there was a bit of dancing was there yeah well we we thought we would erm erm try and get the asian community involved and we included some sequences with asian clothes with asian music an tha that was all very impressing for for the white people as well as the asian people in the audience what a good idea and those of you sitting round who have a lot of asian students at your universities im sure thats a very good idea for you all to think about for next year i think we want to be encouraging young people because you told me that theyre all quite keen to do something for save the children fund now its the seventy fifth year would you like to say a little bit about that oh yes i mean if theres that youre good at or if youve got a good idea thats simply fun im sure all young people would be really willing to help thank you very much and thank you for coming down and talking to us today thank you all i have really enjoyed hearing your fund raising stories everyone have a good seventy fifth year keep up the good work and really rise to birthday challenge the children are counting on it thank you all and goodbye and id now like to thank hand over to nicholas hinton thank you thank you very much sally watch it kilroy silk your royal highness ladies and gentlemen the foundations of save the children may i begin this afternoon by adding my thanks to those of previous speakers for all that youve done to raise money for save the children during the past year you are tremendous i have just completed a round of visits to most of the fund raising regions in england and wales and ive been most impressed by the preparations that are underway to prepare for our seventy fifth birthday of course preparations in themselves do not raise money that together with the continuing recession explains why we are this year having a very tight year financially this fact makes it imperative that we all succeed and have a tremendously successful seventy fifth i have every faith in every one of you if i had any criticism of our organisation it would be that we have a tendency to hide our light under a bushel we seem somehow to be shy of shouting from the rooftops of our many many achievements over the years here in the united kingdom and overseas last week last thursday saw the launch by the disasters emergency committee of which save the children is a part of another appeal for africa among the ten african countries for which the appeal was made there was a mix of hope on the one hand hope for progress in eritrea or liberia mozambique or ethiopia and on the other hand countries of despair somalia that weve heard about today or southern sudan and of course angola im certain that those of us who heard mike save the childrens overseas director on the today programme or our field director in angola on the evening television news yesterday can have hold nothing but pride what they had to say of save the childrens work in that country a country described as the heart of darkness a country with the worlds worse infant mortality rate i was also immensely proud when gavin campbell who fronted last weeks b b c d e c appealtold me that words could not describe the tremendously high quality of save the childrens work in malawi mozambique and sudan which he had recently visited in order to film for the d e c appeal that i believe was perhaps unfortunately obvious from the film itself we do indeed thanks entirely to you all have a great track record anything that you can do to support the d e c appeal for africa will be more than welcome it has so far reached a total of rather over half a million pounds as you well know our mission statement save the childrens vision commits us to using our experience gained here and overseas to achieve lasting benefits for children on a far wider scale than would be the case if we just confined our work to those children and families who happen to be involved in the projects we run let us go back to the beginning to nineteen nineteen for we can be rightly proud of one of eglantine jebbs major achievements five years later that of drawing up the original first ever charter on the rights of the child and persuading the then league of nations to adopt it as you know this early and admirably simple document eventually became the basis of the u n convention on the rights of the child adopted unanimously by the u n in nineteen eighty nine and since by the majority of member states as mentioned by the princess royal this morning it is worth reflecting what a most remarkable contribution women have made to save the children throughout its seventy four years history this fact reminds me of a tale i was told in the states recently whereby president clinton and his wife hilary and major kay drove into a garage quite why this was necessary the tale does not relate as the petrol or gas attendant began to fill up the limousine hilary clinton leaped out of the car and became involved in an animated conversation with the petrol attendant on her return to the car the president said how is it you know this petrol pump attendant so well mrs clinton replied that shed been at college with him and theyd had a very close relationship the president mused i dont think so so claiming that had this relationship continued hilary would probably have ended up as the wife of a petrol pump attender rather than the wife of the president of the united states no recorded hilary had i married him he would have become president of the united states moving on i am sorry we need to to nineteen forty five which saw save the childrens first involvement with preschool playgroups here in the united kingdom now a facility that is almost universally available if often under funded nine years later in nineteen fifty four s c f pioneered hospital playgroups and now again commonplace if again underfunded twenty years later as many of you will remember save the children launched its stop polio campaign which in turn led to polio prevention becoming an integral part of world wide immunisation programmes how many lives has that have you saved in nineteen ninety one well all recall the desperate scenes of our television screens of kurdish refugees scrambling up the mountains fleeing from iraqs saddam hussein the delivery of essential supplies clothing food shelter to those people seemed ad hoc at best it was this episode that led s c f on the path to arguing for a reform of the international system for humanitarian relief s c f has much experience to back up such an initiative experience in ethiopia angola cambodia or sudan we may indeed we have not always made ourselves popular in arguing for reform of humanitarian aid system but it has certainly been effective and we are never but never ignored i was reminded of this in a recent villit village a visit to the united nations in new york i went to meet a friend in the cafeteria there for coffee we got the coffee he paid for it and we walked to the remotest part of the canteen behind a sort of screen why here i said i wouldnt be seen dead with you in here was his reply in nineteen ninety s c f began its work providing facilities for prisoners families in crumlin road in belfast norwich prison strangeways and here in londons holloway prison for women which i visited at the beginning of june this has enabled s c f to persuade the home offices prison department to run such facilities and budget for such facilities in every prison to be rebuilt and there appears to be no shortage of those or designed from herein after this very year save the childrens reports making ends meet and our contribution to the world health survey have enabled radical alterations to be made to the world communities practice with regard first to nutrition and food aid particularly in east africa and secondly to primary health care practice this is a magnificent record thank you and and in nineteen ninety three i would like to announce the day that save the children has been unanimously chosen by the charities aid foundation as its first recipient of the charity of the year award nineteen ninety three this in my view is a tremendous tribute to everybody in this hall and the many thousand who cannot be with us today well done im proud in your name i shall be proud in your name to receive this award from the home secretary michael howard on four november at the cunan queen elizabeth hall here in london well done you and a very very special thanks to the princess royal without whose leadership it would not have been possibly at all on a somewhat linked matter you will i am sure have read of the home office sponsored report on voluntary organisations or charities published last week i do not want to waste your time today discussing this rubbish i just want i just want to let you know that chief among my criticisms of this report it is is that it is a total insult to all of you who give of your time freely to a unique cause to which we all belong to remove charitable status at a cost of some five million pounds a year to save the children fund to relegate us to the status of a quango is absolute rife nonsense let us give the report no more publicity it does not deserve it europe has figured large in the past year and i am delighted that save the children is among the first of united kingdom nongovernmental organisations to establish an office in brussels and mount a pan european operation my thanks are due to all those including volunteers who have become engaged in this initiative i am confident that in some ten years time save the children will be a strong paneuropean organisation perhaps the strongest as such within the european community well at the end of the day all our work is for the benefit of children individual children individual human beings like you or like me perhaps the most lasting memory i have of the past year is a conversation with a small nine year old boy in liberia in west africa in august he was resident in an orphanage which is supported by save the children a boy who during the vicious war in liberia has seen first his mother and then his father his two elder brothers and his two elder sisters savagely assassinated in front of his eyes by the guerrilla troops in the middle of this episode he had fled into the garden terrified the soldiers sought him out he was not assassinated but draughted into the army as a boy soldier as he told me that he had killed perhaps ten eleven or twelve people during the course of the war an agonising first nine years of life this was a little boy who had seen things that little boys and little girls should never see thank god for the work that s c f is doing there his only hope through counselling of being able to regain any form of normality thank you very much just before introducing our final speaker today i would wish because i would think you would want this for me to express thanks to the two key people on my staff who are responsible for organising today which i think they call the a p o annual public appointment linda chalker baroness chalker the minister for overseas development is unable to be with us today she cannot get away from the house of lords because of important parliamentary business i think im right in saying that she drew a very short straw and is the first reading in the lords of the bill to privatise the railways well send her our good wishes shall we but it gives me great pleasure to introduce mark lennox boyd the parliamentary under secretary of state the foreign and commonwealth office a position hes held for some time amongst his responsibilities are the relationships between the united nations and our government and of course for us his very very special claim to fame is that he is the younger brother of our former chairman simon boyd your royal highness ladies and gentlemen may i add first of all my apologies on behalf of lynda chalker that shes not able due as weve heard to business in the lords to be with you today i know shes disappointed as you are but may i coming in her place thank nicholas hinton and his colleagues for having me at the barbican at this important annual public meeting i am delighted to be asked to deliver lyndas speech to such a large body of people committed to helping the disadvantaged and to be able to say a few words about how government is meeting the challenges that it faces in the developing world now it so happens that i am in some small way relatively well qualified to stand here in lyndas place in addition to what nicholas er recounted about my brother i believe that i am the only minister in the government possibly the only member of parliament who has ever worked for the save the children fund when i was in jordan in nineteen sixty five studying arabic i helped the save the children fund operation there for a few months and this was undoubtedly one of the most enjoyable and interesting short periods of my life and i look back on it with great warmth and affection and as your royal highness knows it happens also that many many years ago before you were our president my father occupied your office and i therefore come to this meeting today with some knowledge of the funds activities and with great admiration and respect for all the that the fund has achieved i s certainly shall not stint in my praise of the fund and i would like to add my congratulations on behalf of the government at the recognition that the charities aid foundation has granted to the fund in making it er the charity of the year this year let me say right away that partly because of aid official and through n g os such as you many people in developing countries are living healthier happier and more secure lives this kind of good news is so often overlooked because the challenges presented by the developing world do not diminish indeed they seem to grow climate change wars famine rising populations are some of the many complex causes of underdevelopment now what id like to do this afternoon in the short time that we have is to outline some of the ways in which the british government is helping to meet the challenges of under development i shall cover our response to the needs of the voluntary sector of eastern europe of africa and i shall say a particular few words about the needs of children the subject which is of course at the very heart of your work perhaps i should start by telling you something ill not be talking about and that is the subject of financial resources and how lyndas getting on in her discussions with chief secretary i dont suppose that comes to you as any surprise but i shall i not be talking on that but let me say that we remain committed strongly to a substantial aid programme which as far as possible is directed towards the poorest countries we continue to support activities which will improve the quality of life of poor people a significant feature of that support is our assistance to and cooperation with the voluntary sector last year s c f programmes received almost eighteen million pounds of the hundred and forty seven million which we channelled through n g os this was to support your long term development work as well as emergency and disaster relief the partnership which weve built up over many years with you means that im confident that british tax payers and recipients in er dep developing countries are getting the best possible value for money when government supports s c f initiatives and what is true for s c f is true for the many other m g n g os with whom we work o d a funding of british n g o activities has more than doubled in the last three years this is no accident n g os have shown over and over again that by working alongside a community they can help identify the barriers to development experienced by that community and they can support the community as it works to make social and economic progress this work is both a vital and complimentary part of any balanced aid programme now i know that the ma vast majority of everyone here is involved in fund raising for the vital work done by s c f that too challenges government to respond i believe that our record is a good one since nineteen seventy nine we have done much to extend and improve the tax incentives available in order to encourage individual and corporate donors to give to charity government cannot and should not do everything in britain we have a rich reserve of good will energy commitment in our voluntary sector we would be failing in our duty if we did not seek to ensure that the very considerable effort of the voluntary sector was not translated into tangible benefits to poor people in developing countries that is why the support of the government to the voluntary sector has grown so dramatically in recent years let me give you some examples charities are by and large exempt from income tax corporation tax and capital gains tax transfers to charities are exempt from both inheritance tax and from stamp duty in addition to this any individual or company making donations to charity under a deed of covenant can get tax relief for their donations since nineteen ninety large single cash donations by individuals and companies attract tax relief charities can reclaim pay repayment of basic rates of tax on gifts of as little as even two hundred and fifty pounds since nineteen eighty seven it has been possible to arrange for employees to have charitable donations deducted from their pay through the payroll giving scheme there is also er a very broad range of value added tax reliefs benefiting charities and the voluntary sectors recently this has meant that v a t relief has been targeted on fund raising by charities such as zero rating of much of their advertising and the sale of donated goods and the exemption of income from fund raising events organised by charities there are some reliefs where costs cannot be estimated for example on capital gains and inheritance tax lifetime transfer but both direct taxes and value added tax relief drew in some nine hundred and thirty million pounds on behalf of charities in the nineteen ninety two ninety three financial year now this may not be the most compelling subject but it is important for you to know that throughout our term in office weve not left you on your own as you carry out the task of raising funds for your programme now may i say one or two words about our various several of our bilateral programmes and er perhaps i will start with er saying a word or two about what the o d a is doing in eastern europe the collapse of communism in the former eastern block and the disintegration of the former soviet union represent a major new challenge the governments have had to face the particular challenge for donors has been how best to support the fragile but vital process of transition to a pluralist democracy and market economies in the region i make no apologies for this it is self evidently both right and in everyones interest to do what we can to support this transition process a process crucial to greater prosperity and stability for us all including developing countries the needs are substantial exposure to market forces and the removal of state subsidies has revealed the weakness of many economic structures in the region the recent events in moscow have underlined the difficulties that some of the countries face in establishing new stable pluralist systems much of our assistance has been in the form of contributions through the multilateral institutions the european community programmes the european bank of reconstruction and developing the world bank in our bilateral aid the main need was for carefully targeted and flexible assistance in the form of advice skills and training and our response in this area for our bilateral aid was the creation of the know how fund for the former soviet union and for central and eastern europe theyve had a particular focus on assisting the economic transition in the region for example through health with privatisation of state enterprises and assistance with the creation of small businesses at a more day to day level weve helped improve food quality in the ukraine and have provided advice on improving bread supplies in moscow weve also worked with a number of n g os to help the development of voluntary agencies in the region both through the charity know how fund as well as the establishment of special voluntary programmes in russia for example we intend to launch a small partnership fund to support small projects promoted by the voluntary agencies in the united kingdom whove developed a wide range of connections with their russian counterparts a substantial number of british n g os are already responding the challenges of eastern europe and the former soviet union and many more including er yourselves are beginning to pay er attention to it well ive said a few words about the soviet union but i would like to add that our programme of assistance to the soviet union and to other countries in central and eastern europe while its had to grow rapidly in response to the urgent needs of reg region it does not it has not grown and will not grow in any way er which will undermine our commitment to the developing world and er perhaps on that note i might turn to africa we hear much about the seemingly intractable intractable problems of africa indeed the nineteen eighties was a wretched decay er for that continent famine deterioration in terms of trade higher world interest rates poor economic policies undemocratic governments all conspired against progress in africa africa was fe falling further and further behind but things are changing economic and political form is taking root across the continent and showing return the twenty core countries benefiting from the special programme for africa achieved economic growth of nearly four percent in the year nineteen eighty eighti the years nineteen eighty eight to nineteen ninety faster than before the ruror than before the reforms were introduced and faster than population growth leaving room there for for some modest increase in average incomes now in the years nineteen ninety one to nineteen ninety two britain spent four hundred and five million pounds of its financial aid programme in africa about forty percent of the total and we shall continue to respond to the demands and challenges that africa presents but external assistance alone cannot deliver sustainable development and st political stability success must depend on the efforts and policies of the countries themselves africas reliance on aid is already dangerously high it is sobering to contrast the difference in aid levels between asia and africa five pounds per capita in the former er five dollars per capita in the former against thirty four dollars per capita in the latter private investment domestic and foreign needs to be increased and the public sector made more efficient and effective we need to improve the quality of public expenditure with more money on primary health care and education and less on defence and parastatal subsidies donors will help britains commitment of five hundred and fifty million pounds for the special programme of assistance to africa since nineteen eighty is testimony to that but african governments must own their reform programmes real political commitment to better government and sensible economic policies is essential the challenge is to strengthen and deepen the economic reform process now when talking about economic reform i am very well aware of the shadow hanging over most african countriesdebt for some the burden is crippling threatening their economic viability britain has long ha led the way in providing er help the existing trinidad terms are a result of a british initiative theyve had the effect of halving the value of payments due to creditors during the period of an i n f agreement and have benefited seventeen countries so far including thirteen in subsaharan africa but were not content in in the government to let it rest there for the poorest countries the very poorest countries even more help is urgently needed we are therefore pressing for an immediate reduction in the stock of debt for those countries in pressing ahead we cannot er overlook the position of the poorest reduction to be increased beyond the existing fifty percent to eighty percent for the most needy not all creditor countries are ready to go beyond fifty percent and we do need to move forward multilaterally but there is increasingly widespread support for our proposals the tokyo summit called for all ed poorest most indebted including the possibility of earlier action on the stock of debt you will certainly not find a more determined or persistent advocate of full trinidad terms than britain but economic reform also needs good government and these are the two major planks of britains aid policy for africa a free press and the close scrutiny of freely elected assemblies will help to root out corruption and mismanagement a conscious decision is needed to get government out of things the private sector does better and to concentrate government on the basic things that only governments can do it must for example ensure an independent judiciary provide health and education services basic infrastructure and maintenance and it must bring about the economic environment that allows the private sector to create jobs and growth in pressing ahead we cannot er overlook the position of the poorest the social costs of not adjusting are much higher and affect many more people than the costs of adjusting but we must be prepared to help those at the bottom of society to cope and this is where you as n g os can play a special role let me give you one example in the district of ethiopia the o d as joint funding scheme is assisting with the implementation of a water supply project in the villages of the region women and children spend many hours each day walking to a spring where the water trickles out of the ground to collect water in twenty kilo twenty litre pots weighing over twenty kilos the task is anything but easy particulary for the young children who are involved by piping water from the perennial spring this project will provide drinkable water to over fifty thousand people in the region village life in this case is being transformed at the cost of a mere fifteen pounds per villager so amidst the doom and gloom that seems to cloud the the african horizon we can see that aid does work and in the example ive just given that it works indeed for children but theres no room for anyone of course to be complacent about the growing er demand of the needs of children er a subject of such importance here seventy years ago your founder eglantine jebb drafted a revolutionary and challenging document a charter which stated that each child has independent rights the message in this charter has as you know at last received universal acceptance after many years and much determined effort by those concerned save the children are to be congratulated for the part they played in securing the nineteen eighty nine united nations convention on the rights of the child children have rights to health education to be free from physical and sexual abuse to have a voice in the decisions which affect them and to grow up as responsible and active citizens but in many countries today many children stoo still do not enjoy these rights in the worst cases they have even lost the right to grow up in loving and secure homes seeking to earn their living on the street or separated from their families by war and civil conflict how can the british aid programme help the objectives of our development assistance policy are closely related to the convention on the rights of the child key aims of the british aid programme are to alleviate poverty and promote human rights many of the problems facing children and their families are caused by poverty we seek to tackle this by programmes which support economic and social development which improve education and health care and give parents the chance to have children by choice but as countries move into much needed economic reform programmes we know that children may be the losers in the very short term and thats why in the o d a we are concerned with helping governments develop social policies which provide adequate safety net provision for children during this process of adjustment assisting children to achieve a basic education is one of o d as priorities for many years to come there will be generations of children growing up without the chance of an education so we have yet another challenge that of the invisible children those not even knowing how to read and write i want us to think for a moment about the rights and needs of all those millions of children who do not go to school who are invisible because very often development programmes tend to ignore er their needs it is a terrible irony that although they are invisible to the planners all of us whove travelled in developing countries cannot fail to have noticed these children out of school they are busy at work in the market place in the fields caring for the younger children fetching water and fuel pounding mail maize or mending bicycles selling goods on the streets they pulling rickshaws what rights do these children have when their primary need is to survive in often harsh environments and perhaps even help to support their families yes children should be at school and not at work but how can we ignore all those millions of others now growing up without this opportunity its because of this particular challenge that o d a funded er the s c fs recent report on children and income generating programme i welcome the recommendation in this report that income generating programmes for children need consideration but with great care in their design such children must be assisted in gaining education and skills built around their existing work activities that is what we are seeking to do in our slum improvement programme and in our programmes for children on the streets direct government t t government aid is not always easy because many of the problems are sensitive like the exploited child labour in carpet factories like violence against street children we therefore er very much value the role of s c f er for four particular reasons first er in raising national awareness of the problems secondly in acting as advocates for children thirdly in piloting new and innovative methods for helping children and fourthly in acting to protect the interests of children who are the victims of disaster the challenge of meeting all childrens needs and of helping them achieve their rights can only be met by concerted efforts of governments of multilateral agencies and bilateral donors as well as by the pathbreaking initiatives of n g os such as save the children i look forward to continuing our partnership we must have partnership between government and nongovernment if we are to achieve any degree of success in our aid efforts if our partnership is a genuine and practical one we can go forward to meet the difficult challenges which face us not in a spirit of pessimism on the one hand or of complacent expectation on the other but with an optimism that is founded in the reality of our shared experience i am glad we have that partnership with all of you here and it is on that note on behalf of the government that i wish you every possible success as you embark upon your seventy fifth year minister thank you very much indeed i know im sure everybody here would have appreciated the reminder of the considerable encouragement that this government has given since nineteen seventy nine erm to adding to charities fiscal benefits which has added to our income quite considerably very interesting to have a review from you of the o d as work both with regard to central and eastern europe and the developing world and im sure i speak for everybody in saying we are delighted minister that you spent the third part of your your speech looking at the u n convention on the rights of the child which as you rightly say is very close to the heart of save the children well thats it thank you all very very much indeed for coming i hope youve enjoyed it i hope youve enjoyed it perhaps more than some of us dared to but its been i think great fun and i will wish to renew my thanks to those who made it possible and that of course is you by being here just before we go we are going to hear a recording of a song thats been referred to which i think is called the greatest love of all which im told well all know by heart er this time next year hmm erm anyway on that note if i may thank you very very much indeed and i leave you with best wishes for a highly

the british housing market first new supplements price cuts and free c ds all attempts to boost circulation but whos going to win the newspaper war six oclock this morning at a west london newsagent theyre unpacking the revamped independent on sunday its the latest foray in a fierce fleet street circulation war which is costing newspapers tens of millions of pounds in investment with extra section and money back guarantee the independents also gone up in price becoming the most expensive weekend paper this sunday first of all the sunday newspaper will get quite a lot of colour into its pages and will be expanded and secondly the daily paper starting next tuesday will become a two section newspaper with about twenty wee twenty pages a week extra while the independents raising prices rupert murdochs cutting them at the sun and the times fuelling market competition this is the most competitive choice ridden anarchic industry er newspaper industry in the world there isnt another country where you get eleven daily newspapers published by seven or eight different publishers every single morning today also saw the launch of the mail on sundays new upmarket tabloid review and next saturday the daily mails going to have one too we are going to see a supplement war and only the strongest and the most confident and the best produced will really come out of these in a in a good way these fashionable tabloid supplements are one of the key weapons in this circulation war and whether its new sections price cutting more sports pages or simply giving away compact discs everybodys at it offering their readers better and better value for money the problem is the competitions become so fierce its pushing up newspapers costs at an alarming rate for some this burst of competitive expansion seems bound to end in tears a major reason papers are fighting so haar for readers is the decline in sales as families like the buy fewer papers hello hi how is it going fine thanks its been most noticeable in the sunday market but since nineteen eighty seven daily paper sales are down by more than a tenth changing working habits and increased competition for leisure time mean that many people feel they simply dont have the time any more during the week i certainly buy fewer papers now than previously perhaps its got to do with the fact that i have er four children i really do not have the time to sit down and read papers in depth i work a very long hours er it means generally that im coming home quite late so as far as a daily papers concerned im really not very much interested but the most worrying trend for newspapers is the sharp decline in young readers over the past twenty years the number who look at papers has fallen by more than a quarter partly due to television i read a paper about once a fortnight and if i do read a paper it wont be for for very long because all the stuff its got in it ive seen it one telly or heard on the radio in my family we always read the sunday papers always and the erm quality papers during the week but i have been quite fascinated to see that the youngsters today do not seem to have the same interest in reading the paper they read the cartoons but after that the reading seems to be fairly limited now theres a new threat looming the prospect of value added tax on newspapers in the budget its already causing howls of outrage from the industry it will be devastating whatever happens if the industry absorbs it it will wipe out virtually all profits if it doesnt absorb it it will cut horrendously into circulation figures in my view because theres never been a time before when all newspapers have gone up simultaneously weve had to cut prices of some of our newspapers in order to prevent a decline in circulation er and i suspect some of our competitors may have to do so as well thats a very odd moment for the government to load on up to seventeen and a half percent er there which would er threaten i think the existence of a number of newspapers particularly in the provinces but also possible at the national level and that would be a great shame the timesprice was slashed by a third last month to boost flagging circulation rivals say its costing the murdoch empire millions when the times is already loss making the independents even reported news international for predatory pricing the only way you can make sense of it is that its its design to get a competitor out of the market and as were the one small independent group which has no huge er group wrapped round us then were clearly the most vulnerable news international denies thats its aim and although times sales are up about one hundred thousand in a month it doesnt seem to have had a big impact on the independent the real target news international says is the highly profitable middle market the mail and express are very different newspapers from the times but nevertheless the top fractions of their readerships are very very high quality readers and i think weve seen a good number of those erm from the telegraph the mail and the express going to the times because the times price cut was so large noones sure if its gains are due to the publicity or its proved wrong the conventional wisdom about quality newspaper pricing in a sense the jurys still out on the times cos youd have to look at it over say a three of four month period erm but i think its weve looked at historical trends and you find that the quality newspapers the upmarket newspapers theyre actually not particularly price sensitive the mail and its sister sunday paper are broadening their appeal with upmarket news supplements a huge investment for associated newspapers it expects them to lose a staggering twenty million pounds in the first year but associated newspapers reckons its well worth it i believe that you that you must never stand still in newspapers you have to keep committing you have to keep expanding and you halve to go with trends and there is a trend for this kind of publication not just in erm the world of advertising but in in the readership as well weve seen it in the er erm broadsheet upmarket papers erm i think the time is right for a big broad middle market paper to have such a publication the mails big rival the express is doing much the same trying to attract the readers from the quality market while the broadsheet papers nibble at the middle ground if you look at the sunday qualities theyre very much erm popularizing some of their content weve seen the sunday times for example introducing horoscopes and more articles on the royal family if you look at the midmarkets erm for example the sunday express has recently run a erm a feature on the french philosopher louis which would have previously would have been the preserve only of papers like the independent or the times or the or the guardian i think the er figures also suggest in a way that for the struggling independent papers adding papers is aimed at securing the top of the market strapped for cash and investment circulation of daily and sunday has slid alarmingly the reliance is aimed to reverse that broadsheet because we can display photographs much more effectively on broadsheet and of course well have colour with the group only breaking even having lucrative colour advertising is crucial and the higher cover prices will boost annual revenue by four million pounds if sales hold up helping pay for the new promotion at premium prices the independent papers are opting firmly for the high ground the new independent on sunday are you getting the full story the long term trend is that its actually going to be more room at the top of the market i think and thats very good from our point of view rasing prices when others are cutting is a bold high risk strategy butt whats at stake is whether the independent has to raise capital again and whether it could do so without someone else taking control associated newspapers admit they might be interested and other potential investors include carlton communications and the mirror but sir david english says theyd want control and then only at the right price you ask how interested we are were interested i suppose we we would run the independent as a professional publication but it would be run at a loss for a very long time before you could turn it around and wed only be interested i with that scenario that you could virtually er get the independent at a song otherwise it wouldnt be worth having the question that is raised about the independent is not whether it exists but who owns it what the independent very badly needs is very solid professional newspaper management er to go along with the good franchise which it has created erm and a proper owner who can actually er do what all of us in newspapers have to do from times to times which is back a promising newspaper with so many papers pinning so much on these costly strategies to lure in new readers will it all add up newspapers make their money from combination of cover price revenue and what they bring in from selling advertising space so its the behaviour of both consumers and advertisers which will determine the winners and losers advertisers love the new sections because they provide choice and make it easier to target advertising at specialist audiences but with so many new sections being launched is there enough advertising to go round although advertising is picking up after the recession most in the industry only expect fairly modest growth i think what were probably gonna see is a redistribution of the cake but not much growth in that cake and and i think we might see it in one of two ways we might see advertisers that currently use black and white advertising space move more into colour to take on or or make use of these er other sections these review sections and we might see movement within the colour segments of a newspaper i e from the supplements into the review sections at the end of the day is there going to be enough new advertising to go round i think w we may well see some kind of shake out whether its gonna take two years or twelve months i dont know equally important in deciding the outcome of the circulation war is how consumers like thes react something to do with water sonia yeah like everyone they appreciate better value for money but as the newspapers have got bigger and bigger they have found they have bought fewer a number of years ago i would have bought two papers on a sunday the observer and the sunday times but it was too much reading really couldnt get through it all if you look at the industry as a whole theres obviously the problem that by producing so much more content that people are are simply not going to have the time to get through it so as a result theres a danger that many readers many regular readers might buy a newspaper less frequently so move from buying it every d every weekday say to moving it f to to buying it four days a week everyone in the industry agrees that quality will be the key to success and of course they all say that means them deep pockets are going to count as well but theres no doubt this fierce circulation battle is going to claim casualties for some that could mean heavy losses for others it may be more serious workplace stress is sweeping across industry its costing the country more than seven billion pounds a year with millions of working days lost are british firms reacting too slowly to a problem that could one day land them in court i didnt realize at the time when i was getting headaches migraines you know real bad headaches and er terrible indigestion well indigestion it was terrible pains down my chest just as though youd swallowed glass and every now and again it would sort of stab at you and er i wasnt eating right because i just didnt feel hungry i didnt bother about food i just seemed to keep going and keep going keep taking the paracetamols and the blooming rennies and then er i just completely broke down one night i just couldnt take any more pressure farm work means long hours and low pay but its a great improvement on last year for david smith then he was ploughing a very different furrow working in a staffordshire plastics factory hed moved up from shop floor worker to production manager but the firm hit hard times an the receivers were called in david found himself caught between the demands of the receivers on the one hand and his old boss who stayed on as a consultant i was trying to keep the workforce happy and keep every body in a job trying to keep our old boss happy and trying to keep the receivers happy but it just doesnt work like that you cant keep everybody happy davids life is now in balance with time to follow to the country pursuits like shooting he loves for him the low point came with a telephone call from the factory telling of yet more problems he broke down on the bed at home and sobbed uncontrollably he left the firm soon after one of thousands of victims of occupational stress did you ever think of suing the firm for the stress problems that youd been caused no i never thought about suing the the no i never thought i didnt realize you could anyway no i didnt know you could i wasnt advised or nobody mentioned it that may soon change lawyer mark scoggins advises some of our biggest insurance companies on workplace liabilities he believes workers could soon be able to sue for stress damage costing british firms and their insurers millions thirty years ago employers didnt take seriously the risk of being sued for deafness ten years ago they didnt take seriously the risk of being sued for passive smoking it cost them a fortune in both cases if they ignore the risk of workplace stress claims it may cost them another fortune delegates from some of the biggest companies in the land gather at a confederation of british industry conference on health at work workplace stress is on the increase and ironically its now being widely recognized that companies own efforts to cut staff and become leaner and fitter must take part of the blame at the end of the day we are asking so much more of our employees nowadays than weve ever done before we ask them to be multi skilled we ask them to use new technology we ask them to be obsessed as they should be with quality add customer service those trends can cause stress if theyre not properly managed every year in britain ninety million working days are lost as a result off undue stress in the workplace thats thirty times more than through strikes most british firms even if they recognize the problem dont do anything about it but in the wake of legal precedents from america the prospect of workers suing their employers for stress related illnesses could soon be a real one in that case big firms and their insurers would have to sit up and take notice or pay the consequences the canning line at scottish and newcastles lager brewery in manchester its one of the sites where professor cary cooper a world authority on stress carried out britains biggest ever company wide stress study he believes its important to distinguish between stress and pressure stress is not pressure pressure is stimulating it gets you moving and achieving things but when pressure exceeds you ability to cope then youre in the stress arena and that means that youre doing maladaptive things either its causing ill health or its affecting your relationships stress at work is costing industry billions official estimates include the value of lost production through absenteeism when stress makes people ill and the cost of sickness benefits but there are other factors i think the bottom line cost for u k p l c er the health and safety exe executive estimates this to be seven and a half billion pounds a year i think thats an underrepresentation of it because what we dont have is people turning up to work because theyre afraid theyll lose their job during these recessionary times they turn up to work but are so stressed out they cant perform theres no added value to the product the cost in my view is probably in the order of ten percent of gross national product your workload what about it its too much i cant cope a training video made for zeneca the pharmaceutical group recently demerged from i c i with stress management courses like this its one of the few big companies trying to tackle the problem cant cope eh never mind well find something for you of course it will mean a drop in salary but you neednt worry about the extra stress that goes with promotion because there wont be any promotion for you ever again the ideas to teach managers to spot the symptoms of stress early and know how to deal with them the courses have cost zeneca a hundred thousand pounds so far but the company believes to ignore the problem particularly at executive level would be costlier still there is the obvious cost if people are away ill we know that er stress er does cause exacerbation of other illnesses and er people can be away for that sort of reason but on top of that if people are under undue stress they make mistakes and making mistakes in important contracts if they involve w hundreds of millions of business can be very expensive indeed the thresher wines and spirits warehouse at dunstable part of the whitbread brewing group here they believe the problem has to be tackled at the lower levels of the organization thats because people on the shop floor suffer more from stress as theyve much less control over what theyre doing than those in the executive suite so these warehousemen are among fifteen whitbread staff signed up for whats called an employee assistance program or e a p any time thresher staff have a problem in or out of work they can call an outside consultancy focus good morning focus employee assistance can i help you e a ps originated in america and typically cost a company fifteen to twenty pounds per head every year but the bottom line savings through reduced staff turnover can be much greater we estimate that it costs about fourteen thousand pounds to to train er and and recruit our our management staff erm now if you lose one of those people cos we we put a lot of emphasis on you know high quality training erm then that money is just wasted and er fourteen thousand pounds will pay for an awful lot of employee assistance but do you know that its actually saved you from losing any of these employees yes i i have er our management in inns erm believe that it is one of the major factors which is helping them to reduce their management turnover and if you lets suppose we save save you know ten managers i mean thats going to be a hundred and forty thousand pounds one of whitbreads restaurant t g i fridays ian anderson is a long way from his aim of getting all parts off the group to enrol on the e a p scheme after five years only a quarter of whitbreads workers are included today he is trying to get t g is twelve hundred staff on board but its tough to persuade cost conscious managers like t g is alison finnegan the expense is justified so ian in terms of my selling this into my executive bottom line tangibilitys going to be a real issue yeah what are the real erm success criteria measurement criteria that that we can really see its difficult to measure in precise terms but having this employee assistance programme i think will help you attract staff itll certainly help you retrain staff t g is has now been persuaded but companies like these trying to deal with workplace stress are very much the exception in recessionary times most british firms have had other priorities it is very difficult to you know persuade boards there to in to put money into the startup of a an employee assistance programme erm and what er i would argue and certainly do argue internally in whitbread is that this should be seen as an investment and that the the return from the investment in the employee assistance programme will be many many er much much more than it would be er the actual cost of running it oh hi hello how are you fine how are you im fine at umist in manchester professor cary cooper believes theres one way to really make more firms take the matter seriously he believes cumulative stress which builds up over time should be classified as an industrial injury for which people can claim compensation as with traumatic stress the sort that can happen when you witness a bomb explosion or serious accident we have accepted for a long time that traumatic stress incidents are the basis of an industrial injury claim the larger number of claims and a larger problem out there is with the cumulative trauma the building up of job insecurity the building up of the stress of a bad boss of a blocked career and so on those are the bigger problems and in my view those are real industrial injuries costing a lot of money and should be treated as an industrial injury san francisco california in some american states the idea of suing your employer for the effects of stress is a well established fact of life here when a worker suffers mental of physical problems as a result off stress at work the first thing he or she does is reach for his lawyer the number of mental stress claims has increased more than tenfold over the past decade thats far faster than any other type of workplace injury claim the cost to california business has now reached seven hundred and fifty million dollars thats half a billion pounds every year one of those claims is from john grainger a former manager at a glass bottle factory in oakland he found the escalating pressure of trying to solve a string of production problems there got too much hes since suffered from lack off concentration and has been virtually unable to work the companys already agreed a health care and pensions package now hes off with wife donna to see his lawyer mike gerson to check progress on the legal case being pursued under californias workers compensation laws there is a possibility that i may er receive a oh an award of maybe fifteen thousand er with the possibility of a maximum award of two hundred and twenty four dollars a week for life erm ive been off work in excess of five years now er add my income has been very very small and whatever award i get will never go ahead and compensate me or my wife for what ive been through er youre entitled to go through some sort of training programme proving the effects of stress and whos to blame can be difficult though mike gerson had little problem in mr graingers case it was simply a matter of getting at least two doctors to agree its based on medical fact add and medical evidence based on er factual evidence reviewed by physicians er psychiatry has come a long way and er certain diagnostic st studies and diagnostic tests are taken of the individual erm and the doctors conclude whether or not the the work contributed to the problem or not the launch of president clintons much vaunted health care plan with its ambitious aim of affordable health care for all i believe as strongly as i can say that we can reform the costliest and most wasteful system on the face of the earth without enacting new broad based taxes because its been linked to so many other illnesses like heart disease and ulcers stress is thought to indirectly account for as much as a third of all u s healthcare costs rising stress claims have also been bad news for big employers like wells fargo bank the california institution which echoes back to the stage coach era so the state has no had to tighten up the law to cut the cost faced with premiums of twelve million dollars next year wells fargos even planning to go without compensation insurance funding employee claims itself i would say that most insured employers in california have experienced an increase of probably double over the last five years in premiums erm a lot of employers are looking at self funding because the m they can manage their own money and its much more efficient to do so and then they also have a lot more control over the management of the claims themselves because they select their own management corporation and they can manage teem internally so its simply too expensive to pay the insurance premium yes it can be some american firms like this san francisco based bakery company just deserts have realized that a more visionary approach may be required to combat the stress problem going above and beyond whats already been tried in britain here theyre trying to literally redesign peoples jobs to try and reduce the potential for stress to build up in the first place physical strain often leads to mental stress so the companys eliminated some awkward repetitive tasks director barbara radcliffe showed me one off the old processes well here is hand scooping a cake batter er as you can see the wrist action that she does is very difficult erm stressful we do it many times a day and shes elevated the bowl so that its not hurting her back but generally this ar this function is very hard on the wrists and on the back this is how they now do it here we have brian using a depositor er to get this batter into the pans you may think this is a productivity issue but in fact erm our purpose here is to save stress on the individual and does it actually do that yes i think that it does just the physical stress with the elbow the wrist the wrist and the back the lifting theres still lifting involved as you can see but its a lot easier but its much easier in addition just deserts now rotates jobs more frequently holds employee exercise sessions and carries out regular opinion surveys of staff to find out what changes they want made its also hired to new supervisors to increase training and ease managerial stress its all helped cut accidents at work and stress claims its allowed us to maintain er costs of of our workers compensation insurance erm our estimated premium is somewhere around four hundred and thirty five thousand dollars erm we have a discount currently about twenty percent this has allowed us to keep that discount and work toward perhaps improving that discount so your costs in insurance are much lower than many other comparable firms yes weve managed to keep our costs in line where others have seen theirs skyrocket back in britain there are those who believe an american style legalistic approach to problems of workplace stress could soon be coming over here too employers have a statutory duty to provide a safe workplace and its only a matter of a judges interpretation to decide that that should include mental as well as physical health i mean ive no doubt that my health suffered as a result of the the conditions that i worked under and i think former junior doctor chris johnstones pioneering the legal approach by taking his old employer bloomsbury health authority to court backed by the british medical associations chris finlon hed had to work well over a hundred hours a week for weeks on end i was injured mm as a result of the conditions that i worked under mm from er re repeated stress repeated strain of of continuous long periods of sleep deprivation dr johnstone says the principle behind this important test case is a relatively straightforward one its its on the basis that any employer has a duty of care to employees and what i mean by that is that er an employer has a responsibility to not work employers er er employees under conditions that that are known to be unsafe erm the the the expression has been used if you dont like the heat in the kitchen get out but of your kitchen workers are working under conditions of such such great heat that that that theyre being burnt by it and and this can be avoided then employers have got a legal obligation to to to sa to make safe conditions the governments watching the outcome of this case and is now taking mental stress at work very seriously as health secretary virginia bottomley told the c b is health conference careful development of company mentalness programmes can allow many of those issues to be addressed sensibly and sensitively early recognition as i say of mental illness in an employee and early treatment is better for both the company and the employee business cant afford the cost within the next few weeks guidelines to employers on best practice will be issued both from mrs bottomleys department and from the health and safety executive city lawyer mark scoggins believes these guidelines will be highly significant even those they wont be legally binding theyll mean ignorance of best practice will no longer be a defence for companies in any future legal action by an employee that means any such claims will be much more likely to succeed traditionally the pattern erm in the pattern goes in a particular way there is research there is interest there is then guidelines from the health and safety executive as soon as those are published employers are put on notice that there are steps they really ought to be taking from then until the first claims coming in anything between five and ten years at t g i fridays theyre preparing for another busy days trading the idea of being sued by stressed out workers is something most employers find very unwelcome surprisingly though some like whitbread back the principle despite the difficulties and potential cost i dont see any reason why they shouldnt be able to sue i if it can be proved that er the employer has caused undue stress on on an employee er but its a very new area erm i mean even in in in america where there are some claims coming through now particularly in california i mean i i they are still finding it extremely difficult to prove ive had first hand er experience of the states because ive worked there for a couple of years and i would be the last person to advocate that we follow the american practice of litigation er to the extremes that they pursue it in the states er but the fact that people can sue their employers if they are suffering from stress is a reality in the states i dont see it erm becoming an issues in an organization such as our own because er we have recognized its er potential harmful effects and have taken steps to counter it the word relax is the signal to instantly release our tension the zeneca stress course ends with special relaxation exercises the efforts companies like this are making may help their defence is stress claims do materialize firms that try to ignore the problem could have no defence at all costing teem and their liability insurers dear hold your breath now sit forward a couple of inches and now tense up all over the body tighter tighter just hold it and relax to release that tension if employers ignore advice and subsequently it emerges that it was a real problem that steps should have been taken that research elsewhere showed it to be a reasonable system to look after employees mental health then the scale is potentially enormous certainly of of the size of of the desn deafness claims that we had in the nineteen eighties and will continue to have for the rest of this er of this century so were talking about tens or hundreds of millions of pounds the theoretical potential is is of that order zenecas laboratories in cheshire few british companies are yet following the example set here soon though it may not be a matter off enlightened management to tackle the stress problem so much as commercial necessity if the housing market is some kind of barometer for the rest of the economy it may be time for a mile sigh of relief theres not talk of the market bottoming out but is it a false dawn in recent years nothing has twisted and turned quite like the british housing market its a tale easily told this is the house that jack bought this is the boom that padded the price of the house that jack bought this is the bust that exploded the boom that padded the price of the house that jack bought this is the chap that lost his job because of the car that jack didnt buy because of the fall in the price of the house that jack bought this is the house market flat on its back because of the boom that caused the bust that lost the jobs that paid for the loans that bought the house that jack bought well that dreary tale may be over the worst now if the latest figures from britains biggest building society are to be believed the halifax says that in september the average price of a house in this country was up by one percent on the same time last year the first time theres actually been a year on year rise since the beginning of nineteen ninety one the trouble is there are all sorts of qualifications to statistics like these how real are they the halifax is but one among many lenders the second biggest society the nationwide actually reported a fall in prices in september on the very day the halifax said theyd risen and in a market actually made up of thousands of distinct locations an average house price is something that exists only in the statistics but just as the housing market quivers to life along comes a new threat to house prices and another axe for the mortgage lenders to grind as the budget looms the chancellor seems to be looking again at the feasibility of raising money for the government by ending the tax relief on mortgages of up to thirty thousand pounds sudden moves from the government can cause terrible trouble in the housing market in this case fr first time buyers faced with bigger bills when chancellor nigel lawson stopped double mortgage tax relief in the summer of nineteen eighty eight he caused a frantic scramble to buy homes that proved to be the final boom before the housing bubble burst chancellor kenneth clarke will have to tread more warily if he isnt to destabilize the housing market which has only touched bottom underlying all this is a more fundamental problem during the heady nineteen eighties the british home owner positively salivated at the idea of the monthly advance in the so called value of his or her property it was an amazing spectacle a country not just unworried by but positively enjoying inflation the house price collapse of the last few years has been a terrible dose of cold turkey for the home owning classes but has it been a long enough agony to drive out the idea that theres something inherently beneficial about rising house prices when next they start going up month by month will the headlines trumpet good news for home owners or will the trend be seen for what it really is a serious threat to economic stability we could be back to the boom that led to the crash that lost the job that paid for the house that jack bought bellancourt bellancourt is a commune it is in hautsdefrance in the somme

than the do it yourself shop up but when can we get through to newcastle well i well im on a weeksholiday arent i at easter and ive got to go unless we go to tuesday been to the dentist which tuesday after they break up thats right which is next friday yes so i hope theyve sorted out the whatlin the appeal at the school that mrs was supposed to have let miss white know so she could send it off to the parents to get the money back scanner you didnt tell me about that i did tell you you didnt all you told me hang on ah miss white all you told me was that miss white was retiring but i hadnt to tell anyone which i havent done which i dont intend to do at the beginning of lent miss white approached me to see what she should do about the appeal ah ha as she always does since i said why send money to great ormond street when there was plenty of children locally yes so i asked if they wanted anything and she said a bed at the cottage hospital what goods a bed with no extra nurses well there are special beds oh you mean a bed you mean a special kind of mattress well she just asked about a bed so i told her that you mean a bed to replace a bed that there already is she just said a bed so i told her there were special beds that we are very useful in fact very necessary in cases and we tend to be short of them ah ha and a bed costs two thousand pounds theres another one cant remember the name of which costs a lot more ah ha something like five thousand anyway i said id make enquiries as to what was wanted and i said because theres a new childrens ward will open at the hospital and perhaps they would so i saw mrs and mrs said they were aiming to raise money for scanner appeal yes theyre also going to have a obstetric department first time a what obstetric and patients yes and that obviously they would be tend to be other children with mothers there so they would need perhaps a play facility there and other children who goes to the e n t clinic can go to the not just go to the outpatients casualty yes theres very limited facilities for children to play with so but i also approached mrs earl about a anyway she wanted me to go and see her she said there was the scanner appeal the talk about all sorts of other things that were possible and theres an arts appeal and for arts facilities in hospital and all sorts of things so i went back to miss white and said about the scanner appeal and she said that would be she thought that would be the best idea not the i also told here its the diamond jubilee of the hospital and the children from invited to the hospital that day that week sorry its gonna be a week in june so she wanted to know the details so i asked mrs t would she write to miss white and give her all the details but she thought it would be far better if she went to see her and explain it all she was going on wednesday i hope she went hold on which one was going to see which one mrs was going to see miss white was going to see miss i see so then i saw mrs irwin on tuesday when i was in and she came up with all sorts of things that she would like for the new development but theres nothing ready of course theres this giant sundial were going to have in one of the courtyards its a giant one its its th the building and the blocks of things in in in the in the courtyard that make the time so the sun shines bit of the courtyard when its eight oclock and that when its nine oclock and so forth this is just for the courtyard and these shrubs and things how where is it going to be seen from i presume its seen from the wards thatre behind looking down into this courtyard theres also erm a play area for the childrens ward theres also some murals on the walls various artists did murals and of course theyve got this grant from for six thousand pound for a exhibition a six thousand pound grant for exhibition well well over over a period its and other things too but this this set of murals and are involved in it and various other art things but also theres the thought of th gar a garden and the children keeping the garden up but thats a long way and they have transport difficulties to cope from here to the hospital but then i though perhaps if i cant see the education committee with their lack of money paying for transport for children out here to go to hospital to do a garden the the education committee and the school governors have no money at all to pay for that i know i would have thought it was very low priority well it isnt even a priority its nothing they wont get the moneyth they wont pay for walk to go swimming but i thought that now that the has acquired that bus and its gonna be standing around doing nothing for most of the time and its a twenty nine seater bus i mean the seats come up so that wheelchairs go in but in between times its twenty nine seats and then you need a p s v licence but thats thats perhaps easily remedied if you could get a er a driving licence holder to take them who a volunteer driving licence holder among one of the parents or somebody who could take the children at periodic intervals to visit the hospital to do this sort of thing so that was a possibility but i havent seen miss white yet about all these sort of things but i did also say to mrs earl that a new head will be appointed to take in posts from first of september and it might be better to discuss it with them after i discussed it with miss white i only know one person i only know one bus driver with children theres ambulance drivers and he g he i think their children go to the catholic school er this letter from the multiple sclerosis yes it says it says if youve got wheelchairs in you reduce your number of people youre no youre not reducing the size of the bus well i think thats crazy and someone whos been u just used to driving a car are they going to be able to drive a huge long bus with no extra tuition well whether its got sixteen people in it or twenty nine it doesnt alter the length of the bus well i drive the mini bus at the hospital i know which only takes four wheelchairs and of course theres the drivers of the minibus thing at i think i i would query that anyway would you like to get into a vehicle the length of a bus with no extra tuition no no but and just drive it but but i query as well whether just because you reduce the number of passengers in it that you dont need a p s v licence or the equivalent it isnt a p s v licence but its its have looked into that it sounds doubtful to me but anyway theres the insurance point of view
