#Black Arts Matter - Save The Drum
Today, Sharon Palmer Chair of Newtown Cultural Project Limited (trading as The Drum) issued a statement that she, along with the other board members, have decided to wind-down the trust. As such, as of Tuesday 29th March, The Drum is in liquidation. In her statement, Ms Palmer stipulated that the doors will remain open until June 2016 but, beyond this, it is not clear what, if any plans exist for the building and for The Drum itself. Newtown is one of the most deprived areas in the country and The Drum is the only cultural provider in the North of the city and it is the only arts and cultural centre in the UK dedicated to serving a wide range of Black and Minority Ethnic communities who are often not represented in mainstream arts and cultural provision. The Drum is a vital cultural asset and if it closes it will have a detrimental impact on BAME artists and audiences who engage with thier work. As such, it is important that everyone lends their support to doing whatever is necessary to keeping it open.

NHS frontline staff to be provided with FFP3 PPE masks during work - ESNEFT .
At Ipswich and Colchester Hospitals, the current advice regarding PPE mirrors PHE's misguided advice that surgical masks, gloves and an apron are adequate protection against Covid-19. Staff members at ESNEFT have fallen ill, and even died following contracting Covid. Many believe they caught it from work. Staff have concerns around the increased transmissibility of the new strains of the virus, the lack of ventilation on wards, the rapid increase in covid admissions, and the fact they feel inh

Make St. Ilid’s Meadow, Llanharan a Permanent Postal Round - Not Overtime Only.
St. Ilid’s Meadow in Llanharan has existed for nearly 5 1/2 years. Throughout this time the postal service has been very inconsistent, which has obviously been exacerbated by the Covid-19 Pandemic. Residents regularly go 2 weeks at a time without receiving post, and some are still waiting for post which was due before Christmas. Enquiries have been made with Pontyclun Sorting Office by numerous residents only to be told that the area is an ‘overtime only’ round and that if nobody wants to work t

Letter of Solidarity with Western Sahara
As scholars, researchers, activists and concerned individuals, we, the undersigned, strongly condemn President Donald Trump’s proclamation recognizing Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara. Western Sahara is a case of unresolved decolonization. Decolonization is not only a legal process, but a political struggle, one which has often been waged through the global public sphere. World public opinion, transnational solidarity and global attention have historically been integral to successful d

Rose Bruford Rent Strike
Hey gang, as I’m sure you all know - our next instalment of rent is due on the 18th of January and Theatre and Social Change don't think its fair or right for any student not currently in CC to have to pay the sum of £2,800 for a room that sits empty. We’re rallying everyone who lives in CC to make their voices heard on this issue. Our demands of Rose Bruford and Christopher Court are as follows: 1. An immediate freeze of all accommodation fees for those not in residence at Christopher Court. 2.
