Singers blossom at flower show THE Lockleaze Singing Group were happy to accept a request from the Sea Mills Flower and Craft Show to come down and put on a performance. They were very grateful to Lisa Dicker of Buzz Lockleaze who is one of the prime movers behind the revival of the show. On a blisteringly hot September Saturday they put on a 45minute performance and drew a large crowd of onlookers. Angela Thomas of the sing-

A NEW museum celebrating the work of local, ground-breaking orphanage owner George Müller has opened on the site of one of his orphan homes in Ashley Down. With interactive multimedia exhibits and plenty to interest children and adults, the new museum is in Orphan Home No. 2, now known as Loft House on Ashley Down Road. Müller built five houses for orphaned children, where 10,000 young Victorians were cared for during his lifetime, and many more since. In the mid-1800s only orphans from wealthy families were catered for. Poor orphans were left to live on the streets of Bristol which, at that time, were ravaged with dirt, open sewers and the deadly cholera. The orphans who Müller took in would no doubt have ended up in Victorian workhouses in the city or living on the streets. They certainly would never have received an education.
The five orphan homes set up by Müller are still there on Ashley Down Road – some are now apartments; others form part of the City of Bristol College. By the late 1800s, all five orphan homes were full, housing and educating over 2,000 orphans at one time. Müller’s work became well known around Bristol and countless numbers of Bristolians, as well as many people from other parts of the country and the world, gave gen-
erously to support the work. Müller received and passed on around £1.5m in his lifetime, which would be worth around £100 million today. On leaving the orphanages, every child was able to read and write and left with a guaranteed job as well as an allowance for clothing - a stark contrast to the harsh workhouse conditions of the era. At the age of 70, Müller set off to tour the world, preach-
ing about the orphanages until he was 87. He visited Europe, Africa, Asia, the Middle East and the USA. He met with US President Rutherford B. Hayes in 1878 to discuss his work. The new museum displays many amazing photos of the orphans at work and play in the orphanages and the local area – also orphan uniforms to try on, a Victorian game to play, a recreation of Müller’s study and an archive of the 17,556 children who lived there before the homes closed in 1950. “We’d love it for Bristolians to learn more about this important part of local history,” said Dan Doherty, the CEO of Müllers, which still supports its global partners who work with vulnerable children overseas. When Müller died at the age of 92 in 1898, the Daily Telegraph wrote that he had “robbed the cruel streets of thousands of victims and the workhouses of thousands of helpless waifs”.

FC became known as Bristol Academy WFC under a new partnership agreement with South Gloucestershire and South Stroud College. In 2011 the club changed its name to Bristol Academy WFC and finally became Bristol City Women’s Football Club in 2015. A series of trials were held at their home, Lockleaze Sports Centre, as over 100 girls were put through their paces before two squads were finally put together. On the pitch they have certainly hit the ground running. Both sides have won all five of the games they have played so far and sit proudly at the top of their respective leagues. The honour of scoring that historic first goal fell to Hannah Thompson who managed to better that feat by scoring the first hat-trick a week later beating team-mate Jen Atherton to it by a matter of minutes. The girls look forward to receiving local support. All home games will be played at Lockleaze
Sports Centre at 2pm on Sunday afternoons. Entrance is totally free and food and drink will be available. Bristol Rovers Community Trust are putting on Half-term Fun Days in the forthcoming school holidays at Lockleaze Sports Centre. The Fun Days are being held on Thursday and Friday, 31st October & 1st November between 10am and 3pm and are for boys and girls aged between 6 and 13.

HAVING had a couple of weeks off with my family over the Summer I was refreshed and ready to go for the new term in Parliament. That was until Boris Johnson closed us down again with a return date of October 14th. At the time of writing, we’re waiting for the Supreme Court to decide if this closure of Parliament was done legally. How we’ve ended up in a situation where our Prime Minister is alleged to have lied to the Queen, our Supreme Court has to ask our Prime Minister to enter into legal undertakings to promise to follow the law and our democratic processes have been closed down at such a crucial time really is beyond me. This is not how we run things in Britain and the sooner we get back to normal the better. Your Voice in Parliament In the two weeks we did have back in Parliament, there was enormous amounts of hard work going on to stop a no deal Brexit at the end of October. Whether you voted to leave or remain, no one campaigned for a no deal Brexit in 2016 and all of the briefings - including official government papers, known as Yellow Hammer - make it clear a no deal Brexit would be a disaster for our economy and our security. I voted for Hilary Benn’s bill, which requires an

extension with the EU over a no deal Brexit by law, and I continue to campaign for a People’s Vote in which I’d campaign for and vote to remain in and reform the EU. In response, the government then called for an election, which I voted against. I did so because as soon as an election is called, Parliament is dissolved and there are automatically no Members of Parliament until after the election. That would have risked giving Boris Johnson complete executive power - including over the current Brexit deadlines which I and a majority of MPs were unwilling to allow. In between all of that, I was
really pleased to help launch a select committee report in the House of Commons on a report which I started and led on clean growth and how we can use technology to meet our net zero carbon emission targets. This bumper report sets a blueprint for whoever is in government on how Britain can meet its net zero carbon emissions targets. Your Champion in Bristol Following this, I had an excellent coffee morning, pub politics and a brilliant community meeting talking about action being taken locally and nationally to deal with the climate crisis.
I was inspired by the number of children involved in the latest climate strike marches, where I joined a number of primary schools who were able to organise a rally and march before school; allowing pupils the chance to take part in a day of global action and get to school on time! We’re doing great things on renewable energy in Bristol, which I saw first hand on visits to our onshore wind farm in Avonmouth from Thrive Renewables and then at a visit to Accolade Wines, which has its own wind turbines too! With the additional time I’ve had to be at home in Bristol, I’ve also managed to fit in a visit to the Avon Riding Centre, the re-opening of the Southmead Children’s Centre, a visit to excellent new council housing in Henbury, a walkability audit of Westbury village, school visits to Shire Primary, Filton Avenue Primary, Nova Primary, Stoke Park Primary, a street stall on Henleaze high street, two surgeries and the annual dinner from our excellent RAF Cadets at 2442 Squadron, which I have the privilege of serving as their honorary president.

I’M proud that we live in a place that is filled with great people and talent. The West of England is a region where ideas flourish and businesses thrive and grow thanks to the diversity and creativity found across our towns and cities. Last week I was delighted to join the great team at Ashley Community Housing (ACH) and our own Growth Hub team for a special event to celebrate the work that we have been doing in supporting some of the least advantaged communities in the region. I’m proud to see how our Growth Hub team have been working closely with wider communities over the last 12 months, because I am determined to ensure that as the economy of the West of England grows everyone can benefit. As a Combined Authority, we have been very active in supporting entrepreneurs and small businesses; helping to build business connections across the region. Along with ACH we have explored different ways to help
entrepreneurs who come from our region’s migrant and refugee communities. Through collaboration, we are breaking down barriers which hold businesses back and we are helping them to grow and prosper. This is especially important to me because I know how important small and micro businesses are to ensuring prosperity right across our region. The Growth Hub and ACH have been supporting a diverse mix of businesses from across many different sectors including food, tech and entertainment. This demonstrates the wide range of opportunities available across the West of England to explore your passion and start a business. We recently launched our Local Industrial Strategy, with Government, which draws on our region’s unique strengths – including the creativity of our diverse communities – to drive long-term growth in our regional economy. By bringing different
communities together to collaborate, the West of England will help drive the country’s future role in the world and our prosperity. Whether it is individual entrepreneurs from our communities, or our largest corporations, I have seen the value in getting people to talk to each other and collaborate to promote growth. As a Combined Authority, we can link different communities from right across the West of England so that they can exchange ideas, trade and conduct new business. Our work with ACH is just one example of the many different ways in which we are helping small businesses and encouraging collaboration in every community across the region. By unlocking community networks we can help everybody to achieve their potential. We are helping our communities prosper and provide new opportunities for all of us.
BRISTOL has an incredible reputation for food and drink, celebrated in nationally recognised annual awards and events such as Bristol Food Connections. From formal restaurants of Clifton to the containers at Wapping Wharf, the lunchtime pop-ups on the Harbourside, pizzerias popular with students, family pubs and sunny beer gardens, St Nick’s food hall to my own favourite treat, jerk chicken. The vast amount of cuisines reflects the different backgrounds and cultures represented in Bristol. Everyone should be able to experience and benefit from good food which is why we are working with Bristol’s network of growers, producers, restaurants and consumers to achieve a Gold Sustainable Food City status. Sustainable Food Cities is a national programme that celebrates communities making positive changes to their food systems. ‘Going for Gold’ is Bristol’s bid, and as one of only four cities
Thinking about a secondary school for your child? Find out about the CST family of schools
to achieve Silver status, we’ve already shown that we have the motivation to make Good Food for everyone part of the city’s identity. There is a collective energy calling for food that’s good for people, our city and our planet. Our Going for Gold bid will establish Bristol as both a national and an international leader in sustainable food. We want the whole city to rally together and take action – with citizens and organisations working together. In a city where 24% of children are living in income deprived households, we must tackle this challenge. We want big and lasting changes to our food system in Bristol, ones that will make a positive difference to our workplaces, our environment and our communities.

LAST month, along with Avon Fire & Rescue, we opened our doors to your emergency services for our annual open day. Thankfully, the weather was kind to us and local people enjoyed displays from Avon and Somerset’s Police Dog, Mounted, Firearms section as well as car cutting and search and rescue demonstrations from Avon Fire and Rescue. It was wonderful to see families getting an insight into all aspects of our emergency services and the people who work so hard to keep our communities safe. This month, I will be working alongside Avon and Somerset Police and partners to increase local people’s understanding of hate crime to mark National Hate Crime Awareness Week. Hate crime can be defined as ‘any criminal offence that is perceived by the victim or any other person to be motivated by hostility or prejudice towards someone based on personal characteristics’. Although hate crime is being
spoken about more and more in the media and on social media, there is still confusion about the offence and when to report it and, as a result, under-reporting continues to be an issue for victims of hate crime, particularly those related to religion, disability and sexual orientation. Our homes and our streets should be a place free from discrimination, intolerance and prejudice and that’s why it’s important we are firm in our message that hate has no home in our communities. If you’ve been a victim of hate crime you are not alone and please remember that there are people who can help. Only by working together can we show that hate crime will not be tolerated and offenders will be brought to justice. Finally, I wanted to let you know about the reduction in the number of serious injury collisions on our roads across the area of more than 21 per cent. In 2018, there were 393 incidents where people
were killed or seriously injured in collisions on the road compared to 478 in 2014, making Avon and Somerset Police the 9th most improved force for reducing the number of people involved in such collisions. Although one life lost in a collision is one too many, thanks to the dedication of the Roads Policing Unit, our roads are becoming increasingly safer for all road users. The Constabulary help organise and deliver voluntary speeding education courses to approximately 140,000 drivers each year. Since 2014, I have also ensured that the unit has been better equipped to keep our roads safer by purchasing three enforcement motorcycles to support the nine speed enforcement vans as well as acquiring speed cameras from local authorities. We will continue to work with our local partners to keep our roads safe and educate local people on the dangers of driving unsafely.

Fashion Fizz night! FAIRFIELD High School (FHS) is delighted to announce the launch of its first Fashion Fizz! On Wednesday 6th November between 6pm and 9pm, the community is invited to come along to a fantastic evening showcasing vintage/second-hand clothes and accessories, with a silent auction offering the opportunity to freshen up wardrobes/upcycling by snapping up some bargains. Tickets cost just £5 to include a glass of fizz and canapes. All proceeds from Fairfield’s Fashion Fizz will be donated to sustainable charities Oxfam & Aid Box Community. In addition to buying tickets, FHS is on the lookout for a few things to help the event run as smoothly as possible, whilst making as much money for charity as possible. On the list include: good quality clothes (men’s in particular), sponsorship plus raffle prizes, goods and experiences. This is also an ideal opportu-
nity for stall holders to sell their craft-related wares... perfectly timed for the Christmas market. Janice Callow, organiser of Fairfield’s Fashion Fizz and the school’s Strategic Project Lead comments: “I am so excited about holding our first ever Fashion Fizz. Being personally very interested in fashion, and spending a fair bit of money on clothes myself, I wanted to find an innovative way of ensuring that clothes don’t just end up lost in wardrobes but in fact appreciated far and wide. “Fairfield’s Fashion Fizz promises an evening of glamour, vitality, fun and, above all, one everyone will be talking about for a long time to come!” To buy tickets please visit: https://tinyurl.com/y2e8mfbt To offer donations, sponsorship, prizes or any other questions, please email Janice Callow at FHS: jcallow@fairfield. excalibur.org.uk.
First black pro footballer visits THE country’s first black professional footballer Steve Stacey, a former Fairfield High School (FHS) student, took a trip down memory lane when he visited the Year 10 student cohort to give a fascinating talk and to introduce his new autobiography. As a teenager Steve was scouted by both Bristol Rovers
and Bristol City. Whilst Rovers were in talks with the headmaster of Fairfield, City bit the bullet and approached Steve and his Mum directly… leading to a private signing and fee. At the end, students had the opportunity to ask Steve about his life, his time at Fairfield and his perspective on football.
