Some of the students who completed  ADICE Training Courses

The date is set for  Vince Hines Foundation and its historical partners, the Self-Help Partnership Network, to showcase forty years of community development work, at the grassroots, engaging harder to reach members of the   community, families, children, young people and others, some of whom were not in education, employment and training, and who were mostly angry and distressed over many years.

The Exhibition will also give pointers to  contemporary social and political conditions through which the Charity, its trustees and self-help partners had to endure, in order to maintain needed services to members of the community.

Objectives:

To exhibit images recorded over 40 years, which demonstrate clearly the Vince Hines Foundation and  its founders’ foresights, creative   vision and productivity and their grassroots self-help work,  sharing, warning, encouraging and protecting the vulnerable; showing local, regional and national  leaderships,  and delivering needed community, education and training  services to members of the community of all ages and ethnicities;

To provide historical photographic evidence recorded during the period, demonstrating the creativities of  Commonwealth ‘immigrant communities’ and their offspring’s, now settlers, in the UK, with a focus on Afrikan (people of African descendants)  and their unceasing  contributions to British social history; and

To inspire contemporary community and voluntary groups, mindful of the passing of the English Parliament’s ‘Localism Legislation’, in 2011,  which encourages active citizenship in community and voluntary work, particularly those working with the most disadvantaged  and harder to reach, in our inner cities and rural  communities—civil society.

Activities to achieve objectives

 The Project has five strategic delivery  elements:

Display, a minimum of 700 copies of A4 [297 x 210 mm 11.7 x 8.3 in],  professionally framed  mono and colour images,   which documented 40 years of  activities of the Vince Hines Foundation,  Dr Vince Hines, founder and other trustees,  staff, volunteers,  students/trainees and beneficiaries over the period. This will include a mention of the Charity’s funders during the period;

Produce a colour brochure of all exhibits, including historical details, indexing of  images and copyright ownerships; COMPLETE

Present a Power Point Presentation of all the  exhibits, with index, history captions and copyright ownerships, including  appropriate period background music; COMPLETE.

Next phase  - produce video interviews with past beneficiaries, as to how the Foundation’s services benefited them and/or changed the course of their lives for good, including those who had given back, by joining the Charity as  voluntary workers, advisors, committee members and trustees. Donations needed to complete this phase of the project;  and

Facilitate sessions where people can talk with individuals involved in this history, including past/current trustees.  The Exhibition organisers will lobby for a theatre production with related themes.

 The trustees of this project welcome your support and sponsorship.
