Here's an interesting article about Jolani the current leader of Syria. It goes over his history and the articles that came out that tried to rehabilitate his image before the pogroms against the Alawites began.

Gig Review: Joe Conaboy, The Garage 08.11.15

Gig Review: Joe Conaboy, The Garage 08.11.15

On Sunday, I went to The Garage in Islington to see Joe Conaboy’s first ever headline gig. After interviewing the singer songwriter last month, I was really excited to hear more of his solo material and the covers he had to offer. I had a meet and greet ticket for the gig so got to meet Joe beforehand. He was super lovely as usual and whilst he was trying to put on a brave front, you could tell…

Brad Pearce shares his first blog post as a School Food Plan Storyteller

If everybody’s ready then I’ll begin…..

  Tell us a little about yourself and your role at work:

  Plymouth born and bred but what a place to live!

  I’m the Education Catering Manager for Plymouth City Council and I’ve been in the job for a little over 7 years so was lucky enough to have been given the role at the outset of the school food revolution.  I do mean genuinely lucky because it’s been such a great time to have had the opportunity to effect such enormous change including ending transported school lunches, building 20 brand new kitchens where schools previously had no facilities, increasing the number of meals served by almost a third over the last 4/5 years and becoming the first local authority caterer in the country to achieve the Gold Food for Life Catering Mark.

  My team provides 1.5m meals a year in 62 primary and 5 special schools as well as three primary and two secondary academies.  We’ve also just started to run the City’s Community Meals Service delivering freshly prepared and cooked nutritious and delicious lunches to customers.

  I’m passionate about what we do and passionate about what more we can do to make a bigger and more visible and sustainable change.

  Best thing about the job?  Having lunch with a group of seven year olds – who will definitely tell you what they think of the lunch you’ve just served up!

  What did you think when you read the plan?

  I was at the LACA conference and was looking forward to seeing Henry or John tell us more about the Plan when they came along later that morning. Then I started to receive emails and information.

  What came across first was the amount of work that had obviously been put into it and how the style made it very easy to read – yes lots of facts and figures but a clear understanding and passion about the work that had been completed.  I’d spoken with Henry several times during the year and met up with him and John to talk through some specific issues so I know how much effort they were putting into the review and I’m proud to have been asked to be involved.

  How are you using the plan at the moment?

  Term has just ended so I’m taking the opportunity of the quiet(er) period to work through the Plan and try to set out a programme of activities and events / road shows to present the Plan to as wide an audience as possible in the autumn term.  I’m writing a piece for our Governors Newsletter too and have set up meetings with Public Health and our Food: Plymouth group to look at ways of embedding the Plan into many of our day to day activities.

  What do you think will make the biggest difference to your catering operation/school and why?

  School Funding Reform has caused a few sleepless nights thinking about how we can keep services going, not undo everything we achieved so far but also develop the service into a new sustainable model.  A plus side to the reform has been the opening of the door to schools, heads and governors who now want to know more about the service and how we can work together.

  What the Plan will do is help focus those ideas and groups and provide a strong platform to build the future for children and young people across the city – not just for lunch but through cooking and food education provide a foundation and set of skills for life.

  But this is only the beginning…..

  What message would you give to others who still haven’t read the plan yet?

  Why not?  It’s a cracking read! 

  Or to put it another way, as one of my team said today:

  “Whether you’re a mother or whether you’re a brother you could be helping the next generation to stay alive!”

  Fussy about food?  We are………..
