Islington: first
choice for first lady
Students at Elizabeth Garrett
Anderson school were thrilled
to host American First Lady,
Michelle Obama, when she
made a suprise visit to the
school recently.
The visit was Mrs Obama’s
first official foreign trip since
her husband was sworn in as US
President. She certainly seemed
impressed by the school, which
has improved tremendously in
the past few years and now
receives 'outstanding' Ofsted
reports.
After a performance by
the school's talented choir,
the First Lady said: “These
girls are terrific, the school is
phenomenal, and you all should
be very proud of what you've
created.”
After thanking her hosts for
making her feel welcome, she
went on to say that she was

not so different from the girls
who attend the school, 92%
of whom are from a black or
minority background.
She described her workingclass roots and told the girls
that with a good education
and a whole lot of hard work,
there was nothing they couldn’t
achieve.
“History proves it doesn't
matter whether you come from
a council estate or a country
estate,” she said. “You too can
realise your dreams.”
The fact that Elizabeth
Garrett Anderson school
received such a high-profile
visit speaks volumes about how
far education in Islington has
come.
Thanks to all the staff and
pupils at Elizabeth Garrett for
making the First Lady’s visit
such a success.

Recycling
textiles

I'm pleased to learn that we
can now recycle batteries at
our local libraries. Might it
be possible in future for us
to recycle textiles and shoes
there too? Quite often I have
items that aren't suitable for
charity shops but I can't get
to the recycling centre in
Hornsey. It would be good if
we could recycle such items
nearby.
Betty Harris
Duncan Terrace, N1
We’re always looking for
more ways to make it as easy
as possible for residents to
recycle, so it’s great news
that the battery banks have
proved popular. As you say,
the first choice way to recycle
unwanted clothes is at a charity
shop so they can be reused
and raise funds at the same
time. We know this isn’t always
possible, so through the charity
Scope, Islington already has
ten textile banks across the
borough and we’re looking for
suitable locations to add more.
Libraries are one possibility.
However, textile banks are
quite large compared with
battery banks, so we will need
to weigh up the practicalities.
In the meantime, your
nearest textile bank is in
Sainsbury’s car park on
Tolpuddle Street, which
should be easy for you to
get to. A full list of textile
bank locations is available

phoning 020 7527 2000.
Remember, you can also take
your unwanted textiles (and
lots more) to the Household
Re-use and Recycling Centre,
Hornsey Street, N7 8TP. But
we would welcome any more
suggestions from you or other
IslingtonNow readers about
how we can recycle textiles in

doing up the roads before they
totally disintegrate?
Are you resurfacing the
roads in the Whittington area
before you put down the
road humps? I fear not. It is
said that these road calming
measures do very little good
and that a lot of other councils
are removing them. Why does
Islington blindly carry on laying
them?
Mr B R Deane
Anyone who’s lived here for
a while will probably have
noticed that wear and tear
has got the better of some of
our pavements. Cracked and
broken slabs not only make
the place look shabby, but can
be a real safety hazard for
we answers
your letters…
pedestrians and wheelchair
users. So we’re investing
money in bringing the worst
affected streets back up to
scratch. But a large part of
the £20m we are spending
is actually going towards
resurfacing damaged roads.
With over 1,400 streets
to maintain, even this huge
investment doesn’t go as far as
we’d like. To make sure we get
the best possible value for this
money, we are prioritising roads
that are most in need based on
their current condition and the
type and volume of traffic it
attracts. In your area – Junction
Ward – ten roads are set to be
resurfaced, including Highgate
Hill and Junction Road.
As you can imagine, we get
a lot of letters about road
humps – some in support of
them and some not. They’re
used only in areas where
we’ve consulted residents
about whether to introduce
a 20mph zone and in most
cases – including the recent
consultation we ran in your
area – around two thirds
of people have come out
in favour of us using them.
Probably most importantly,
Islington has seen a drop of
nearly 50% in traffic accidentrelated casualties since 2001
as a result of speed humps
cutting traffic speed.
Having said that, we know
the older style, round-top
speed humps aren’t popular
with residents. To try and find
some middle ground, we’re
now using a different type of
speed hump that is much lower
and smoother to drive over,
but still keeps driving speeds
to a safe level. Although there
isn’t the money to rip up and
replace every bump, we are
able to replace some of the
higher road humps as part
of the work we’re doing to
improve our roads.
Getting the

I have recently read that
the council is going to spend
£10m on the highways this
year. Instead of wasting our
money laying new pavements
and road humps, is it not about

Helping residents
beat the credit crunch
Hundreds of Islington residents
have taken advantage of
the council’s credit crunch
roadshows, which have been
held around the borough over
the past few months.
With information on everything
from benefits and jobs to housing and
energy consumption, visitors also benefited
from money saving offers and goody bag
giveaways.
For Serge, a 30-year-old chef, the
roadshows were a way to find out how to save
money. “I was working in a catering company,
but people started losing their jobs because of
the credit crunch. Now I really need to learn
how to save every little penny,” he says.

Cutting for the
community
You may not realise it, but overhanging trees, bushes and shubbery can
make life very difficult – not to mention dangerous – for some people.
Here’s why it’s important to keep your foliage cut back.
Every year some of the most
vulnerable members of our
community face injury and
dangers on our footways, as
overgrown greenery from
private and public properties
intrudes across their path.
Blind and partially-sighted
people are most at risk, but
even wheelchair users and
able-bodied people can be
affected.
“Along your travels you are
frequently faced with two
types of overgrown foliage;
soft, which often leaves you
dripping wet, and sharp,
which results in a face full of
scratches,” says Olav Ernstzen,
a partially-sighted Islington
resident who uses a white
stick. “It can be a shock to walk
into overgrown foliage too,
meaning we often veer into or
towards the road – and this is
obviously dangerous.”
It’s not just overhanging
trees and hedges that
are the problem, though.
Elizabeth Jones, who is also
partially sighted and at 81
has lived in Islington all her
life, wants to urge her fellow
residents to think on ground
level. “My stick often gets
caught in ivy that has been
left to overgrow onto the
pavement,” she says. “Not
only does it end up in my face,
but my stick gets stuck and
I have to fight it free just to
carry on walking.”
If you would like more
information on how
to look after your garden,
visit the Royal Horticultural
Society website at www.
rhs.org.uk. Alternatively, if
you know of a household
with particularly overgrown
foliage, you can report it by
calling Contact Islington on
020 7527 2000.
Combat the credit crunch
Why not ditch your car in favour of a bicycle? Cars are expensive to
keep and run while, after the initial outlay, a bike hardly costs a thing. It’s a
great way to keep fit, and riding a bicycle uses less energy than a car uses
to power its headlights – so it’s super green, too!

Recent redevelopment sees Rosemary

With poor accessibility,

Gardens was in desperate need
of some TLC.
After refurbishing the
astroturf pitch with funding
from Barclays Spaces for Sport,
several consultation events for
park users and local residents
took place. As a result, the
park has seen new plants, turf,
shrubs and benches, while
accessibility improvements
have also been made. Plus,
the redesign of the play area,
which was funded by the
council with support from the
Government, has created more
play opportunities for kids.
To celebrate, we’re holding

with music, face painting, play

May is Islington’s Biodiversity
Month, when we invite
residents to celebrate local
wildlife and ask everyone to
do their bit to give nature a
helping hand. You don’t have
to live in the countryside to
see plants and wild animals
– you can spot foxes, bats
and unusual birds such as
woodpeckers right here in
Islington.
You can help wildlife on
your doorstep by making
some changes in your
garden or by planting up
a window box. Together,
gardens make up a huge
area of green space
in Islington and are an
important source of
food and shelter for
animals and birds.
Chris Ashley,
of Friends of
Gillespie Park, says:
“Biodiversity Month
is a great time to
help some of our
struggling bird species by
putting up a bird box and
putting out food for them.”

Richard and Pete’s last word on wildlife
What the Ecology Centre’s Richard Meyers and Pete Howath don’t know about wildlife isn’t
worth knowing. Here, they share their words of wisdom with the rest of us.
It’s spring at last
and our parks
and gardens are
bursting with
new life. Lots of
different creatures
can be seen, from
swifts wheeling
and darting
overhead, to tadpoles
in our back garden pond.
Also, look out for bumblebees
as they go from flower to
flower collecting nectar and
pollen, which they carry in
bristles on their back
legs.
Spring also means
the mornings are
brighter – and filled
with the sound of
birdsong. Each year
at the Islington
Ecology Centre we
celebrate the dawn
chorus with an early
morning event, and this year
is no exception. We begin on
Sunday 10 May at 4am, so
remember to set your alarm!
You needn’t worry
about breakfast
though – we’ll
provide tea and
toast. To book
your place, call the
Ecology Centre on
020 7527 4374.
The pesticide
question
Pesticide-free gardens are
better for wildlife, as things
like slug pellets can harm
hedgehogs and song thrushes
when they eat the
poisoned slugs. There
are plenty of ways to
avoid using pesticides
in your garden. Use
alternatives such as
beer traps to help
control slugs, or,
rather than poisoning
snails, why not entice
their enemies? You could
start by building a small log
pile for creatures like toads,
frogs and centipedes to live in
– most of which eat snails.
Tip: Butterflies lay their eggs on stinging nettles, so to attract them to your garden
leave a small patch uncut. A further tip is to grow them in a container with drainage holes
– this will prevent them spreading into unwanted areas. And remember, nettles are a food
source for many creatures – not just a nuisance!

Top tips to beat the burglars
,Unless you are in the
same room do not leave
windows and doors open
or unlocked, particularly if
you are on the ground or
first floor.
,Lock away ladders, garden
tools and other items
that burglars could use to
force an entry.
,Be aware that thieves can
steal keys through your
letterbox if you store
them nearby.
,Leave a light on and shut
your curtains when you go
out at night
,Don’t label your house
keys in case you lose
them.
,Do not leave valuables,
including keys, on display
or within easy reach
behind windows and doors
even if they are closed
and locked.
,Never leave a spare key
hidden outside – burglars
know all the hiding places.
,Fit proper locks on doors
and windows – and use
them.
,Remember – if you
can get into your home
without keys, so can a
burglar.

400 fewer people have fallen
victim to burglary in Islington
this year.
Burglary rates in the borough
have fallen steadily over the
past five years, dropping 20%
since April 2008.
Islington Police provide
support to victims of burglary.
In some cases officers will
arrange the installation of
security cameras in and outside
victims’ homes.
Islington Police Borough
Commander, Bob Carr, said:
“Burglary continues to fall in
Islington and remains a priority
for us. Our dedicated officers
will continue to work with
crime and anti-social behaviour
in the community and tackle
the issues that matter to
residents.”
Islington Police Borough
Commander, Bob Carr
Driven to distraction
Around two distraction burglaries are reported in
Islington every week. Here’s how to make sure you’re
not the next victim.
Burglars will often tell you they are
from the water board, but they
might also say they work for the
council or other utilities companies.
Other techniques include
pretending to need help or asking
to use your phone or toilet. They
often work in pairs – so while
you are at the front door, an
accomplice could be sneaking in
the back.
When someone calls at your
home, remember:
, Put the door bar or chain on
the door.
, Don’t be fooled by officiallooking overalls or identity cards.
, Keep the numbers of your
utility companies handy. Call the
company to check their story.
Don’t use the number on the caller’s
ID card as it might be fake.
, If they say they want to run your
taps, switch off your water or check
your water pressure, and call the
water board. They can tell you if there
are any leaks or maintenance in your
area.
, Keep cash out of sight, and try not
to keep large amounts in your home
– burglars know all the hiding places.
, Bogus callers often say they need
help urgently or ask for a glass of
water. Only help if you have someone
else with you – and remember, if you
choose not to help, it is not rude or
unfriendly.
, Call 999 immediately if you are
suspicious – police would rather
be called to a false alarm than for
someone to be robbed.
Look out for
letterbox
burglaries!
Police recently found
one would-be burglar
with her hand stuck in
a letterbox. Burglars
try to reach through to
pick up keys that have
been left nearby, or to
try and reach the latch
to open the door.
Get online
security
savvy
One man recently received
a five-year prison sentence
for robbery after advertising
vehicles for sale on the Gumtree
website. When the potential
buyers contacted him he
arranged to meet them, robbing
them when they turned up.
Police were able to trace the
perpetrator by his mobile phone.
Be careful when arranging
to meet someone to make a
purchase – especially if you
are likely to be carrying a large
amount of cash.
Getting to know your Safer
Neighbourhoods Teams
There are 16 Safer Neighbourhoods Teams (SNTs)
in Islington – one for each ward. These are your
local community beat bobbies, who work with the
community to tackle crime and anti-social behaviour.
Hot tips:
,If you have arranged to meet
someone from a website,
don’t go alone.
,Arrange to meet in a busy
place you are familiar with.
,Tell someone else who you
are meeting and where.
,If you don’t feel safe when
you arrive at the arranged
meeting place, leave.
The Caledonian SNT are dedicated

Islington shops
prosecuted for
illegal knife sales
Several Islington shops
have been ordered to
pay more than £6,000
after being prosecuted
by the council’s Trading
Standards team for
illegally selling knives to
young people. Trading
Standards officers,
supported by Islington
Police, carried out
test purchases in eight
shops in Islington last
July and found that
four sold knives to 15year-old volunteers,
despite the age limit
being 18. All have now
been prosecuted, with a
total of £6,450 in fines
and costs for shops and
owners.
Although these
fines send out a strong
message, the potential
seriousness of these
offences goes far beyond
money. A knife in the
wrong hands is deadly.
Most shops in Islington
are very good – in
December eight shops
were tested and all asked
for ID. We will prosecute
if shops sell knives to
youngsters, and we'll
keep working with police
to tackle knife crime and
keep weapons off the
streets.
If you suspect a
shop is selling knives
illegally, call the Trading
Standards team on
020 7527 4038.
Your local SNT will take part in
regular ward panel meetings
with the community. These
allow you to discuss your
concerns and decide where
your SNT should be focussing
their efforts. Their priorities
could range from stopping
people riding mopeds on the
pavements to burglary or drug
dealing.
Your SNT patrols regularly
in your area and has a local
contact number so you
can call them. Each team
usually consists of at least
one sergeant, two police
constables and three police
community support officers
(PCSOs). They are dedicated
to your local area, and will
work with the community,
identifying and tackling local

Policing promise
The council is working with
Islington Police to make the
borough a safer place to live,
work and visit. However you feel
about the service you get from
local police, they want you to let
them know. Islington Police have
recently introduced their Policing
Pledge, which explains exactly
what you should expect from
your local force.
You can read the full
pledge on their website at
www.met.police.uk/islington.
If you think they are not
meeting their commitments,
let them know by leaving a
comment on the site or by
calling 020 7230 4737.
Someone will get back to
you within 24 hours.

Boom and bust
This bust of Russian Leader Vladimir Lenin was given
to the people of Finsbury by the Russian Embassy
in London. Years later, when on display in Finsbury
Town Hall, it was defaced by the National Front who
threw buckets of red paint over it. To stop any further
damage, it was taken off display and donated to
Islington Museum.
Why not pop in and see if you can find a trace
of red paint? While you’re there, you could also
explore some of Islington’s other hidden treasures.
The museum is open Monday to Saturday (except
Wednesdays), 10am-5pm.

Markets thriving
despite downturn
Shopping habits have changed enormously over the past few years, but
markets continue to play a vital part in community life.
They add vibrancy and choice
while complementing the
already great retail service
that Islington’s shops offer.
Plus, shopping at the
borough’s markets is great for
the local economy.
Islington has some
excellent markets. Chapel
Market at the Angel, open
Tuesday to Sunday, is the
largest with around 100 stalls
selling everything from food,
clothes and music to shoes,
jewellery and accessories.
Meanwhile, the oldest market
in the borough is at
Whitecross Street near Old
Street. The general market
runs from Monday to Friday,
while fantastic specialist food
stalls, where you can eat your
way round the globe, run
every Thursday and Friday.

When Canonbury residents Richard Frampton and Andre Viana
decided to tie the knot, Islington Town Hall was the natural
choice of venue – and they weren’t disappointed.
“It was fantastic, and the registrar was great. Many of our
guests commented on how calming and smiley he was,” said
Richard. “But the best thing about the day was having all the
important people in our lives together – well, that and the lovely

IN FOCUS
On the
committee
Making sure the council is doing the best possible job for local
residents is of paramount importance, so independent committee
members have been put in place to oversee the work we do. They
ensure our services are not only up to scratch but also constantly
evolving and improving, and that our standards are consistently high.
Here is a little more information on how they work.
The Standards Committee
There are 48 councillors at Islington Council;
three for each ward in the borough. The
Standards Committee is here to make sure they
are working to a strict code of conduct and
acting in an appropriate manner at all times.
The committee is made up of five independent
members and two elected ones. Alison Vydulinska
is one of the independent members, and as a
lawyer of ten years’ standing she is well-placed to
keep an eye on what’s happening in the council.
“We mainly deal with complaints – both from
residents and other councillors, but there is a
proactive side to the committee too,” she says.
“We look at general complaint statistics from
across the organisation to identify problems in a
given service area, for example. And we observe
the way the council responds to things like
tribunals and claims.
“Our other main role is to promote and
monitor high standards of ethics and behaviour
within the council,” continues Alison. “Having
independent people overseeing the authority
is great as it means high standards have to be
maintained. Hopefully, our presence also helps to
promote confidence in democracy.”
The committee makes sure all councillors
are serving the best interests of their residents
– rather than their own. “This means that if
a councillor’s neighbour has put in a planning
permission application, we make sure it is dealt
with by someone entirely different to ensure
there is no bias,” says Alison. “In fact, that’s what
the Standards Committee is really all about
– making sure everyone gets a fair deal.”
Lawyer Alison
Vydulinska is on the
council’s Standards
Committee, where shets

The Audit Committee
Islington Council is a large organisation with
many departments, and it’s important for them
all to work together efficiently. To make sure
this is happening, an Audit Committee has been
appointed to oversee the finances of the entire
council. Made up of four elected members and
two independent members, the committee’s job
is to make sure the council is running smoothly
and offering residents excellent value for money.
One of the Audit Committee’s independent
members, Mark Robson, has spent 14 years at
the Bank of England and been a Governor of City
University for the past seven years. He‘s been
part of the Audit Committee since it was formed
six months ago.
“It’s really about asking questions – like
‘how could we do this better?’” he says. “We’re
constantly looking at ways the council can
improve; by coming up with completely new
ideas, comparing what we do with other local
authorities and businesses, or simply building on
what we’re already doing well. We also keep an
eye on existing systems to make sure they are
working well and that money is accounted for
and being wisely spent.”
Did you know there are a number of affordable housing options
available to people in Islington? Ownhome is a brand new scheme designed
to give you a helping hand onto the property ladder by arranging funding for
up to 100% of the value of your home.

European
Parliamentary
Elections
Elections to the European Parliament are
held every five years and the next one is on
Thursday 4 June 2009. Islington, together
with all other London boroughs, is part of the
London Region for the European Parliament,
which will elect eight Members of the
European Parliament (MEPs).
How can I vote?
To vote at these elections you must be 18 or over and be
a British, Irish or Commonwealth citizen. If you are already
registered to vote in elections, you will be eligible to have
your say, or you can go to our website to download a
registration form. If you are a citizen of another European
Union country, you can vote at the elections in Islington
but you will need to complete an additional form called a
European Elector Application (UC1) Form and return it to
Electoral Services by Tuesday 19 May. Visit www.islington.
gov.uk/voting for more information.
Why should I vote?
The European Parliament has a big influence on the lives of EU
citizens, whether you realise it or not. Most laws passed by
national parliaments are drafted in response to European laws.
When European legislation is debated, amended and either rejected
or approved, the MEPs are there to represent you, the citizen.
You can find out more at www.europarl.org.uk
or www.electoral commission.org.uk
Making the
most of
your councillor
Have you ever wondered what elected councillors actually do?
Here, we explain the impact they make on local life – and how
yours could help you.
Councillors make decisions on
council policy and spending. They
are the people who know what’s
going on in your local area.
The borough of Islington is
split into 16 wards, with three
councillors – who are elected
every four years by local people
– representing each one.
You can talk to your local
councillor about any issues you
have with council services, and
they can take up your case
themselves or point you in the
right direction to get more
advice. As a community leader,
they can put forward proposals
to improve the ward they
represent, which may include
bringing together different
community groups to develop
a case for change. Councillors
also represent the council on
various outside bodies, such as
charities, local companies and
school governing bodies.
How are council decisions made?
All councillors meet at Full Council Meetings, where they
make decisions about major council policies and set the
annual budget. These meetings are open to the public and
you can now watch them from your home, office, library
or any computer with an internet connection. The council
is running a pilot project to broadcast meetings of the Full
Council and Executive for a trial period until June 2009 and
we would like to know what you think.
To find out more and get involved go to
www.islington.gov.uk/webcasts. Plus, you can
keep up to date with decisions made at meetings
by registering for email alerts at www.islington.gov.uk/
democracy/emailnotification
A carer is someone, who, without payment, provides help
and support to a partner, child, relative, friend or neighbour,
who could not manage without their help because of illness or
disability.
We estimate that there are up to 20,000 carers in
Islington or looking after people who live in the borough.
We are currently reviewing our services to carers to make
sure they continue to meet your needs and we want to hear
from you.
For more information visit www.islington.gov.uk/
Health/carers or to make comments and suggestions, email
carers@islington.gov.uk or call 020 7527 8154.
You can meet any of
your ward councillors in
person at one of their
regular surgeries, write to
them at Islington Town Hall,
send them an email or phone
them. For councillors’ contact
details and to find out when
they hold their surgeries, call
020 7527 2000. Or you can
go to www.islington.gov.uk/
councillors, where you can
also see a map of the wards.
The mayoral role
The Mayor chairs Full
Council Meetings and
has a specific role to
play as the council
representative at many
civic and ceremonial
events. Each May, a new
councillor takes on this
role. We will announce
the new Mayor for
2009/10 in the next
issue of IslingtonNow.

All Shades of
Grey film goes
international
A documentary made by
young refugees and asylum
seekers in Islington has
been selected to show at
prestigious film festivals
this year, in Germany and
the USA.
The hard hitting film,
‘All Shades of Grey’, was
made by young people
involved in Listen Up’s
Young Muslim Voices
project, which is part of
the council’s Children’s
Services department.
Maria and Tsehay,
two girls involved in the
project, talk about their
journey from Ethiopia and
Eritrea, and describe their
experiences of being a
refugee in Islington.
The giant painted scene on The
Hideaway in Junction Road,
N19, includes local landmarks
such as Archway Tower,
Archway Bridge, and bustling
streets. It was designed and
made by local young people
who worked with artist Fiona
Edwards during February halfterm, in a project organised by
the council.
The creation colourfully
depicts the hundreds of
diverse projects – from arts
to training – the council runs
with young people each year.
Tom Allerton, of The
Hideaway, which stands at
the entrance to the Tremlett
Grove Estate, said: “I’m really
pleased with the results and
glad that so many of the kids
wanted to get involved. I think
the mural will help bring the
community together, as well
as adding a splash of colour to
the area. ”
The mural is part of a
wider programme of work by
Islington Council to put some
spring sparkle into Archway,
including intensive cleaning
and a crackdown on dog mess.
Inspection result inspires confidence
Ofsted inspectors have
given the New North
Children’s Centre in
Canonbury a “good” rating
in its first inspection
report. The children’s
centre, which opened
last year, also has
“outstanding” features
in leadership, partnership
with parents, and children’s
learning and development,
according to the report.
Children are given
enjoyable learning activities
that are “tailored to their
needs and interests”.
The New North Children’s Centre
in Canonbury has received a
glowing report by inspectors
The centre is “very well
led and managed” and
its team of experienced
and qualified staff ensure
that it “operates safely,
efficiently and in the
interests of parents and
children”.
New North is one of
Islington’s network of
16 new and refurbished
children’s centres. The
centres provide care and
education for under-fives,
along with a wide range of
services for families such
as breast-feeding support,
English as a second
language classes and help
with benefits, training and

Lifestyle
Off to a flying start
Islington’s Career Start scheme
recently held its annual
celebration, an event that
recognises the achievements
of care leavers who have taken
part in the last year. Career
Start provides access to jobs
and work experience as well
as advice on interviewing
techniques and filling in
application forms. Since it
began four years ago, 53 young
people have secured temporary
and permanent jobs through
the scheme. Of those, 23 are
currently in employment.
Making the transition from
education or training into
employment can be tough for
any young person, but for those
who have been in care it can be
even more challenging.
Debora Tesfu, 22, helped
organise this year’s event and
has been involved with Career
Start since 2007. She has
benefited from the scheme in a
number of ways.
Event organisers Debora Tesfu and
Kaveh Rahimi have benefited from
the Career Start scheme and are
keen to help others make the most
of it too
“I’ve had a few jobs, giving
me a lot of work experience
on my CV,” she says. “I can
also manage my time better
and have presented in front of
hundreds of people.”
Almost 30 young people
attended the event, which

showcased a moving art project
that Career Start’s young
people took part in. Through
painting, photography and
poetry, young people expressed
their hopes, ambitions and
personal journeys.
“Many of us don’t have
families, so don’t get the
opportunities other young
people do,” continues Debora.
“Gaining confidence can be
difficult too. Career Start really
builds your confidence.”
Career Start Manager, Nikki
Ralph, said: “The two young
people who organised and
hosted the event spoke of their
personal successes through
the scheme, inspiring and
motivating other young people
and managers.
“It was also great to see so
many employers at the event
showing their support. I hope
even more employers support
Career Start over the coming
year.”

Volunteers to advise on energy
The council recently teamed
up with Islington Timebank – a
community-based network of
volunteers – to train 12 local
residents to become volunteer
domestic energy advisers.
The partnership saw
unemployed or parttime employed residents
undertake a four-day training
programme, leading to a
City & Guilds accredited
qualification.
The course has equipped
the volunteers with the
skills and knowledge to help
residents become more
energy efficient. By saving
energy in the home, we
can all reduce our bills
and cut the size of our
carbon footprint at the same
time.

efficiency in the home,

Local residents make the most
of the Packington Families
Project, which aims to support
residents in Packington
Square
The new
Packington
Project
From careers advice to
‘stay-and-play’ sessions,
the Packington Families
Project is a one-stop shop
for residents living on the
Packington estate.
Funded by Islington
Strategic Partnership, the
project was launched in
January and brings a range
of services directly to the
estate, including help and
advice on housing, health,
benefits, parenting and much
more.
Families can drop in to
weekly surgeries or access
the project through someone
they already know, like their
housing officer or a teacher
at their child’s school.
Packington Square
Partnership Manager,
Cassandra Favager, said:
“One of the things residents
tell us is that it’s not always
easy to find the information
they want.
“The idea of this project
is that families will be able
to talk to one person, who
will then work with the
whole family to identify what
services might benefit them.
“It could be anything from
supporting parents bringing
up teenagers to helping a
family claim all the benefits
they’re entitled to. All the
services are completely free
of charge.”
If you live in or near
Packington Square
and you’d like to find out
how the project could
help you, call 0845 600

Office.

your views
SustainableCommunities
Act: Islington is in!
Have you ever had a really
good idea about how to
improve Islington? But then
found it can’t happen because
of Government rules and
regulations, or because we
don’t have the necessary
powers at a local level?
The new Sustainable
Communities Act provides
an opportunity to make
those ideas a reality. Islington
Council has opted into the Act
and will now be developing
proposals to put forward to
the Government.
Let us know if you have
ideas that would contribute
to the environment or the
economic or social wellbeing
of the area. Ideas need to be
about things we do not have
local powers to do and need
central government action.

and to submit an
idea, visit

Deaf? Make your
views heard
If you are Deaf, deafened or hard of hearing, the annual Hands
Up! Catch Up! event is your chance to share your views about
local health and social services. The event will be held at
Islington Town Hall on Wednesday 20 May.
There will be health, housing and customer access surgeries
between 4pm and 6pm. You will need to book an appointment
to attend.
Between 6pm and 9pm, anyone can join us to discuss local
council, NHS and voluntary services and tell us how we can make
services better for you.
To book your place or an appointment at a
surgery, contact Linda Thomas by emailing
linda.thomas@islington.gov.uk, texting 07816 820759
or using the minicom service on 020 7527 1900.
St Mark’s Church will spend
the funding working with
the area’s young people
People
power
Finsbury Park has won
an extra £28,000 of
funding for young people
in the first Islington
Council People’s Project.
The area’s residents
were asked to choose
one of three worthy
causes to receive the
money, to be spent on
improving community
safety.
The winning project –
with 74 of the 136 votes
cast – was Islington
Somali Community and
St Mark’s Church. They
will spend the money
working with young
people on local estates,
running activities and
trips and tackling antisocial behaviour.
Also in the running
for the cash were The
Whittaker Centre and
the Pilion Trust, which
both work with local
street drinkers, and
CASA Family Service,
which works with
families affected by drug
and alcohol use.
It was the first vote
of its kind to be held
in Islington, and similar
votes will now be held to
help residents in other
parts of the borough
choose how they want
money to be spent.

This month we’re letting
you know about Arsenal in the
Community’s exciting Double Club
developments.
Arsenal Football Club Launches
Innovative Language Scheme for
Primary School Children.
Arsenal’s Manager, Arsène Wenger,
recently joined leading education
and language figures to launch the
Arsenal Double Club Language
Modules for Primary Schools, in
anticipation of the Government’s
policy to make modern foreign
language learning a compulsory
part of the national curriculum for
children from the age of seven to 11
in 2011.
Schools Minister, Jim Knight,
Leonard Orban, European
Commissioner for Multilingualism
and Dr Lid King, National Director
for Languages all lined up for the
event at Emirates Stadium in April.
The Arsenal Double Club is an
innovative programme which uses
Arsenal resources, interactive DVDs
with Arsenal players and football
to make learning fun and relevant
to young people’s interests. It is
uniquely devised and co-ordinated
by the Club’s 24-year-old ‘Arsenal
in the Community’ department and
has a wide array of curriculum
subjects amongst its portfolio. The
scheme follows the format of a 45minute classroom session followed
by a 45-minute football coaching
session – mirroring the two halves
of ‘the beautiful game’.
The Arsenal Double Club
Language Modules for primary
schools - which include German,
French and Spanish - have been
piloted in schools around Arsenal’s
north London home over the past
17 months following the success
of the secondary schools scheme
which has been running since
2006. All modules have been
developed in consultation with
language partners; the Consejería
de Educacíon, Institut Français,
Goethe-Institut London, UKGerman Connection and European
Commission, who all offer expertise
and advice in the field of language
learning and promotion.
The Department for Children,
Schools and Families has funded
a two-year secondment to Arsenal
Double Club to develop the modern
foreign language modules with a
long-term view of rolling out the
scheme across other Premier
League Clubs, as well as other
football and sporting clubs
nationwide.
Speaking at the launch,
Arsenal’s Manager and polyglot,
Arsène Wenger said: “Speaking
another language can completely
change your life. This is why it is
so important to learn at an early
age. I am so proud that Arsenal is
involved in this scheme – it makes
perfect sense as we have such a
multicultural team who can help
motivate young people for this
challenge.
“Languages are so important for
so many reasons. The fact that I
learnt languages allowed me to be
where I wanted to be – in English
football. If you want to achieve your
dreams, you can do it and languages
can certainly help you get there.”
Jim Knight, Minister of State
for Schools and Learners at
the Department for Children
Schools and Families, added: “The
Government is keen to explore ways
of raising standards across the
curriculum. Using football related
resources in an innovative and
engaging way to teach languages in
the classroom helps us to do just
that.
“Football is watched in countries
all over the world – and you just
have to look at the squads of all the
top teams to see how important
it is to be able to communicate
in different languages. Being an
Arsenal fan, and a French speaker,
I’m really pleased to launch the
Double Club Primary Languages
programme. We hope that the
in-school Double Club will mirror
the benefits of the Government’s
Playing for Success programme of
after-school study support which is
already having a significant impact
across the country.”
Q&A sessions on DVDs with
Arsène Wenger in German, French
International, Bacary Sagna and
Spanish goalkeeper, Manuel
Almunia, are used in the classroom
alongside Arsenal resources to
engage the young children using a
different approach. Two Islington
schools participating in French
and Spanish Double Clubs have
also benefited from visits from
participating players so far this
season.
All pupils are invited to Emirates
Stadium for a tour upon completion
of the six-to-eight week module
and other incentives are offered
throughout the scheme.
The initiative has been recognised
by some high profile figures and
institutions. During a visit to the
Gunners’ north London home for an
historic Anglo-French Summit, the
work of the French Arsenal Double
Club was showcased for British
Prime Minister Gordon Brown and
French President Nicolas Sarkozy.
It has also been hailed by the
European Commissioner for MultiLingualism, Leonard Orban and last
July, CILT, the National Centre for
Languages and the Government’s
recognised centre of expertise on
languages, awarded the Arsenal
Double Club the European Award
for Languages.
There are a wide variety of
modules included in the Arsenal
Double Club scheme including
numeracy, literacy, science,
geography, business studies,
French, German and Spanish.
To date, Arsenal’s Double Club
Language programmes have
been successfully completed by
more than 2000 pupils in over 134
schools.
