Beverley

As a school student myself, I was not a natural academic. Although I enjoyed Art and crafts, I struggled with other subjects, especially Maths, and left school with a poor grade. At school I often became distracted during Maths lessons and found it difficult to keep up with the fast pace of learning. Also, I often felt inhibited to ask questions for fear of appearing stupid in front of my classmates. This led to a lack of confidence in my Maths abilities and achieving low scores in tests. It was only after being offered a conditional place on my chosen teaching course, that I decided to attempt another GCSE Maths course. Fortunately, I found a patient tutor who was happy to answer and explain all of my Maths questions! It was also a challenging time as I attended an evening Maths class while working full time as a Secretary in Manchester. Thankfully, all of the effort was worth it when I achieved a high grade in my Maths exam. Subsequently, I was able to embark on the teaching course and fulfil my ambition to become a teacher. Outside of tutoring, I am also passionate about wildlife and environmental conservation and have been involved in many fund raising projects and campaigns. Most recently, I initiated a campaign with Hull Friends of the Earth to save the felling of 143 trees in Queen’s Garden in Hull…

Grappenhall Heys Walled Garden

Warrington

Introduction to the Garden Grappenhall Heys Walled Garden was created by a wealthy Warrington banker, Thomas Parr, around 1830 when he built a new house and estate for his family. The land nearest the house was designated as parkland to give a suitable setting to the mansion and the outer areas were farm land. The landscape that existed at that time was incorporated into the estate and many of the woodlands, ponds and avenues that formed the parkland then still remain in place today. As a whole these features form a significant record of a landscape designed in the manner of a gentry country estate. It appears, from historical records, that the estate was at its height from 1875 – 1899 and this is considered to be the most significant period for the design and productivity of the garden. The house was demolished in 1975 but the 4 acre walled garden was retained as a local amenity. English Partnerships refurbished much of the garden as part of their development of the area and new housing, working closely with the Grappenhall Heys Walled Garden Conservation Project charity, the Warrington Organic and Wildlife Gardening Society and the Woodland Trust. Grappenhall and Thelwall Parish Council took ownership of the garden in 2005 and, with the help of funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) and the Friends of Grappenhall Heys Walled Garden, has developed the facility into a peaceful, well maintained and beautiful garden which is now a popular local visitor attraction and resource for horticulture, education and enjoyment.

Landscape partnerships aim to make a difference to how people perceive, appreciate and care for distinctive landscapes across the UK. North Lincolnshire Council led on the delivery of the IoAHC Landscape Partnership. However many partners were involved in delivering individual projects and the continuing legacy. The IoAHC Landscape Partnership was awarded £1.84m from the National Lottery Heritage Fund, with thanks to National Lottery players, taking the total Programme funding to just over £3m. A total of 21 projects were delivered, up from the original 16 included in the Landscape Conservation Action Plan (LCAP). A summary of each project can be found on our project pages, with context and finer detail found in the LCAP document itself. Engagement with residents has been key throughout the Scheme, with our main aim being to reconnect local people with their unique landscapes and cultural heritage.

Wolf and Whippet

wolf and whippet

Suzy is also an independent artist and author who works from home. Through photography she developed a passion for wolves and conservation, inspiring her to share her home with Okami, an Alaskan Malamute. Okami now lives with a 4-year-old female rescue Siberian Husky called Yuna, whom Suzy adopted from a sled-dog rescue as a puppy. Suzy decided Yuna should stay with her as her forever home, due to her anxiety and working lines, which she has harnessed into sled-training and agility for fun. Their older brother, a 14-year-old Pomeranian called Iggy aka Mr Teddy Pompoms passed away in January 2017, but will always be remembered as the inspiration for their Golden Oldie visits. Throughout her life, Suzy has lived with dogs, from a Cocker Spaniel to a Giant Schnauzer. This experience of handling various breeds being very useful at the W&W. Meeting Fran and Poppy has meant the creation of Wolf and Whippet and the opportunity to further study Canine Behaviour. Focusing on Northern and Primitive breeds, offering advice to rescues and other professionals.

The Courtauld works to advance how we see and understand the visual arts, as an internationally-renowned centre for the teaching, research of art history and a major public gallery. Founded by collectors and philanthropists in the 1930s, the organisation has been at the forefront of the study of art ever since, through advanced research and conservation practice, innovative teaching, the renowned collection and inspiring exhibitions of its gallery, and engaging and accessible activities, education and events. The Courtauld cares for one of the greatest art collections in the UK, sharing these works with the public at The Courtauld Gallery in central London, as well as through loans and partnerships. The Gallery is most famous for its iconic Impressionist and Post-Impressionist masterpieces – such as Van Gogh’s Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear and Manet’s A Bar at the Folies-Bergère. It showcases these alongside an internationally renowned collection of works from the Renaissance through to the present day. Academically, The Courtauld faculty is the largest community of art historians and conservators in the UK, teaching and carrying out research on subjects from creativity in late Antiquity to contemporary digital artforms – with an increasingly global focus. An independent college of the University of London, The Courtauld offers a range of degree programmes from BA to PhD in the History of Art, curating and the conservation of easel and wall paintings. Its alumni are leaders and innovators in the arts, culture and business worlds, helping to shape the global agenda for the arts and creative industries. Founded on the belief that everyone should have the opportunity to engage with art, The Courtauld works to increase understanding of the role played by art throughout history, in all societies and across all geographies – as well as being a champion for the importance of art in the present day. This could be through exhibitions offering a chance to look closely at world-famous works; accessible and expert short courses; events bringing art history research to new audiences; digital engagement, innovative school, family and community programmes; or taking a formal qualification. The Courtauld’s ambition is to transform access to art history education, by extending the horizons of what this is, and ensuring as many people as possible can benefit from the tools to better understand the visual world around us. After an ambitious three-year transformation project, The Courtauld Gallery reopened in November 2021.

Dartmoor Creative Woodturning

dartmoor creative woodturning

Newton Abbot

From my workshop within the Dartmoor National Park I create decorative, functional and architectural turned work. I have been a professional woodworker for over 50 years, 46 of them self-employed. I am on the Register of Professional Turners, who are supported by the Worshipful Company of Turners. I also offer tuition in my fully-equipped workshop to individuals and small groups, and give demonstrations at craft events and to woodturning clubs and interested groups. Combining uncomplicated, balanced form with natural features - as well as the effects of fungal and insect activity - I find that the most unlikely looking pieces of wood produce the most striking end results. My work essentially celebrates the imperfections of wood as features of a beautiful natural material, rather than as defects. The timber I use is sourced as locally as possible to my Dartmoor workshop. The majority of wood comes from trees that have fallen, been cut down due to damage or disease, or from licensed conservation pruning and felling. Any exotic species used will be either recycled or from sustainable FSC sources. I also take commissions for commemorative and presentation pieces, such as weddings, engagements, anniversaries, birthdays, and also funerary urns.

Wilmslow,

New Life on the Old West will deliver wildlife habitat enhancements in green spaces and surrounding countryside within areas close to the Old West River in the Cambridgeshire Fens. The project will create a series of small-scale habitat improvements – ponds, scrapes and wildflower meadows – in the arable landscape, the extensive ditch network and community green spaces. Together, these improvements will create a more resilient landscape in the Cambridgeshire Fens; connecting dispersed species and habitats, while creating demonstration sites for others to learn from. The project will help ensure that a wider range of people can access and enjoy the local fenland countryside. Through a diverse series of events and a dynamic volunteering programme, we’re building a stronger connection between people’s green space assets and the biodiversity on their doorstep. The three-year programme has been developed by Cambridgeshire ACRE, working closely with over 50 local and regional organisations, specialists, and community groups. Stakeholders who play a part in the conservation, land management and development of community green space and farmland assets within the landscape. Meet our partners here.
