There can be few experiences in life as daunting and

daring as the start of a new venture . As a new Board

of Trustees it was both our challenge and privilege to be involved in

one . Our role was to draw together the work of two former constituted

bodies (which between them provided a comprehensive arts service for

the people of Shetland for many years) and to forge a new, cohesive

force for development and inclusion in the arts locally . On the initial

stages of our journey we encountered more than a little turbulence and

we spent the first year coming to grips with all the administrative and

financial demands of a new organisation . I would like to pay particular

tribute to my former colleague, and Shetland Arts’ first Chair, Lynsey

Anderson, for steering the Board through the first crucial ten months

of its existence . She did this with fortitude and good humour, meeting

all the major challenges that the task involved .

Chairman’s letter

Shetland Arts’ first two years have seen a great deal of activity in developing policies, welcoming new staff and trustees, and delivering a wide range of quality arts activities across Shetland . Creating a new agency was never going to be an easy task . Neither was it one that could – or should – be rushed . We wanted to get things right and provide a secure basis for being able to respond to any challenges that might arise – both familiar ones and those that are new and unexpected .

Aware that improvement is a continuous process rather than a one-off achievement, it is a journey we always expect to be making, trying to live up to our aim of a Shetland that is creative,

confident and connected . We have, however, taken a few steps along the way, and are proud of the contribution that SADA has made to try and turn that idea into a reality . One look at the range of development activities described in this report should be enough to illustrate the scope and quality of the work carried out these past two years . It should also demonstrate both our joint commitment to the objectives of our Trust Deed and to the promises we have made to the agencies that fund us and with whom we work in partnership – and, of course, most importantly, the public as a whole .

One of the most important tasks we undertook at the start of our journey was the appointment of a new Director .

During 2006 Craft Development worked jointly with

Shetland Museum & Archives on their Public

Art Project, connected 20 craft makers from Faroe and Shetland in

the Sheep/Seydur workshop exploration of raw material derived

from sheep, and with their Product Development Group advising

on current craft product development for their new retail space

Shetlandcraft

During 2006 Craft Development worked jointly with Shetland Museum & Archives on their Public Art Project, connected 20 craft makers from Faroe and Shetland in the Sheep/Seydur workshop exploration of raw material derived from sheep, and with their Product Development Group advising on current craft product development for their new retail space within the Museum .

Four days of workshops & demonstrations, in felt making, basket making, sock-knitting and woodcarving were delivered for the Johnsmas Foy 2006 . That summer 11 members of Unst Peerie Knitters, all under 13years of age, demonstrated knitting and teaching other children at the Royal Highland Show in Edinburgh .

Contemporary Shetland crafts were shown during the ‘Gie Us Ten Guitars’ exhibition at Bonhoga Gallery in 2006 and local craft makers exhibited new craft in the ‘Fresh’ exhibition at Bonhoga Gallery in 2008, then went

to youth clubs, to share ideas and techniques in informal sessions

During 2007/08 development focussed on 3D skills and contemporary development, for craft makers, applied artists, and members of the public attending inclusive workshops .

At the Shetland Museum & Archives’ Women’s Conference, in April 2006, the Craft Officer gave a talk on early 20th century Shetland designer/knitters, and curated a contemporary textile exhibit, as a response to the research . The work was shown in the Museum during the summer of 2006 .

A Mentoring Project,, led by a professional 3D designer, advising on concept realisation, production and presentation was available to all makers . This popular project was reviewed for 2007/08 when it focussed on product design, and involved Shetland College design students, jewellers, furniture designers, bookbinders, a toymaker and wood turner among other craft makers .

In January 2007 Shetland Arts entered into a three year partnership

funding agreement with Shetland Islands Council Sport & Leisure

Services . This partnership was established to organise a three year dance

programme called ‘Active Futures’ specifically aimed at 17–24 year olds

with additional funding sourced from The Big Lottery . This programme

has been organised alongside the existing dance programme .

Shetlanddance

Our Traditional Dance, Artist Maria Leask, continues teaching traditional dance in schools and the community . From August 2007 to March 2008 Maria taught 28% of 5-15 year olds which is 3% higher than the national average for all dance forms .

One of the most successful traditional dance initiatives has been ‘Peerie Dancers’, introducing traditional dance steps to toddlers . This fun, and accessible, dance activity for all the family has been over subscribed with additional sessions being organised to try and meet demand . The most recent classes sold out in two hours .

‘Strictly Trad Dance’, a three week course has been held in November and March each year . The 2007 sell-out course taught the Quadrilles and Lancers while the 2008 course concentrated on polkas and reels .

We were delighted to welcome David Hughes to Shetland for a week long residency in November 2007 . Four dancers from his company worked with the Mid Yell Junior High School and a

community group based in Lerwick, who rehearsed their own pieces then and went on to perform them . David Hughes Dance also performed at the Garrison Theatre, Lerwick, the first professional contemporary dance company to visit since 1995 .

Other visiting dance professionals included Urbaniks from Glasgow, Frank McConnell and Kally-Lloyd Jones . All of whom held workshops in schools and the wider community, targeting 17-25 year olds through the ‘Active Futures’ scheme .

Company Chordelia performed ’73 ½ Minutes to Make a Good Impression’ in February 2008 . The schools’ performance was sold out and we were delighted to see an increased dance audience at the public performance .

makes its mark in LondonThe Shetland Youth Theatre

When I joined the Shetland Youth Theatre in July 2006 I had

no idea what was going to occur in the coming year .

Every second year the S Y T participates in Connections, a festival for Youth Theatres organised by the National Theatre in London . Our director, John Haswell, chose Red Sky written by Bryony Lavery on the relationship between three young archaeologists working at the tomb of an ancient Chinese Emperor . The opening of the tomb has caused the ghosts of the Emperor and the many subjects buried with him to awaken . I played the parts of a soldier and a courtesan .

Unfortunately I missed the first two weeks of rehearsals due to chicken pox but I soon got into the play . It was all very exciting because after performing in Shetland we were going to take it to our regional festival in Edinburgh . There was even the slightest chance of performing in the National Theatre, London if our production was good enough .

Soon the play was ready to perform . and it was a great success . On the final night Bryony Lavery, the playwright, and Susie Graham-Adriani, the Connections producer, came to see our version . She said it was absolutely brilliant and she thought it was good enough to perform in London . It felt so good to be praised by such an experienced playwright .

On the last day of April I was outside playing football when Mum called me inside . She looked ecstatic . The Shetland Youth Theatre was on the list of the groups going to London!!!

Then came the fund-raising for our trips to Edinburgh and London .

In June we travelled to Edinburgh to perform in the Scottish Connections Festival . It was a great feeling but it was really heart tearing leaving my Mum and Dad because it was the first time away from Shetland without them .

Shetland Arts embarked on a new project to facilitate

the development of Film Making and Digital

Media early in 2007 . The process began with a series of public meetings,

and consultation with strategic partners, resulting in the purchase of nearly

£30,000 worth of film making, film and sound recording, and editing

equipment currently located in Shetland Arts offices .

Shetlandfilm and digital media

The equipment was purchased with funding raised through Leader+ and HIE Shetland, and with the support of the SIC Youth Services . Two groups were established . The Shetland Young People’s Media Group is closely supported by Shetland Islands Council’s Youth Services and has been supported by Shetland Arts who allow them access to the film making equipment, office space, and have arranged and funded training sessions . This group was also involved in the first Shetland Film Festival – Screenplay – opening the festival with a special public presentation of their work . This was very well received and indeed greatly impressed the festival curator and other festival guests .

The Shetland Media Group also grew out of the public consultation and has been able to make use of Shetland Arts’ digital media equipment and facilities, and a series of training events including one-to-one support from film maker and artist, Iain Piercey . Screenplay was filmed by this group and some of their camera work also contributed

to the back projection used as part of the stage presentation of the festival .

To further inform and support film and digital media development in Shetland, the organisation engaged two students, as part of the Shell Step Programme ., They undertook research projects relating to film: audience development and the likely

impact of new film and media technologies on education and careers in Shetland . As well as producing two excellent reports, both students made an invaluable contribution to the work of Shetland Arts for the duration of the project and beyond . Shetland Arts’ contribution to this project

led to their being nominated for an award from the National Association of Work Experience .

Shetland Arts assumed management responsibilities for The Garrison Theatre in 2006, and with that came the monthly screenings of recent release films operated by Filmobile Scotland Ltd . These screenings run over one long weekend (three or four days) per month and ensure that Shetland

Work continued throughout the past two years to progress

the plans for Shetland Arts’ new cinema, music and

education venue, Mareel .

Mareel

The Scottish Arts Council Capital Lottery Stage 2 bid was submitted in April 2006, and a supplementary submission made in March 2007, resulting in a grant offer of £2 .12 million being offered .

The bid was supported by a film made on the site earmarked for Mareel .

This project involved over a hundred volunteers ‘recreating’ their aspirations for the venue

The Project Management Team continued to work on the design of

the building throughout this time drawing on ideas from stakeholders and potential users .

New challenges presented themselves during this period, including the proximity of the fuel tanks at the North Ness . These challenges are now well on their way to resolution, and the venue is becoming more of a reality with each passing month .

upDate note:

All funding is now in place and building will commence shortly .

The charities now administer almshouses at two sites in the ancient borough of Finchley. The sites are at Wilmot close and Homefield Gardens. In addition to the above, the Charities also administer Pewterers Court which they took over from the Worshipful Company of Pewterers in 1991. These flats are not subject to the terms and conditions of the charity Commissioner’s Scheme. Residents in these flats are licence holders.

Details of the full addresses and directions of how to get to each location are available by going on to the contact tab on this site. You can also email us from this tab.

The composition of accommodation is shown on this page for each almshouse site. eligibility for residence and current availability is shown on the appropriate tab. If you are interested and can fulfil the eligibility requirements, you can download an application form from this tab.

The current trustees and officers can be found on the People tab.

The Trustees wish to encourage residents and their friends and relations to consider leaving a legacy to The Charities, which can be used as a memorial to their occupation here and would be put towards the benefit of existing and future residents.

History


In 1988 The charities commissioned a publication ‘The Finchley Charities 1488-1988’ by Fred Davis, a Trustee at the time and a local historian, which set out a detailed account of the history of the charities. From his research we discover a number of interesting facts and events.

A wealthy farmer, Robert Warren bequeathed his ‘first gift’ of 11 acres of land on 23rd march 1488. This was to provide funds for the church, repair and improve the highways and to make charitable gifts to the poor. Nine men of the parish (trustees) were assigned to administer the charity. A further gift of a house and garden was made, Warren’s second gift, which eventually became properties on Hendon lane. The two gifts were confirmed in an indenture sealed by the Trustees on 20th march 1489. This brought into being The Finchley charities.

Further gifts of land and houses were donated during the 16th and 17th centuries including those from Thomas Sanny in 1506. A scheme was drawn up at the end of the 19th century bringing in all the other charities which had come within the control of the Trust over the years. Some of these involved distributing food by church officials to very poor people living in the parish. A nursing benevolent society came into the Trust in the early 20th Century. This was dissolved in 1948 with the advent of the National Health Act. The charity commissioners authorised the transfer of the Society’s funds to be for the benefit of the sick and poor. This provided food, medicine and medical comforts.

Since the establishment of the 1892 scheme money donated by benefactors has been invested in income earning funds. Some gifts have been for specific purposes such as furnishing and equipping Community rooms.

The almshouses at Wilmot close were built on land and buildings known as Pointalls Fields which had been donated to the Charities. Almshouses seem to have existed on this site since the 17th century, but new ones were constructed from about the mid 19th century. A new block was built in 1895. New almshouses were

built in 1958 and a further block in 1966, when the site was named Wilmot close in memory of local Alderman Herbert Wilmot, a former Trustee. A portion of land was sold off for the development of the Vale Farm Estate. This enabled the charities to build further almshouses on the site in 1972/3. As demand for accommodation for the elderly rose, the Trustees decided to build a further block in 1984 which opened in 1985. This was named Thackrah close after the father and son trustees edgar and Ronald Thackrah, whose service spanned 55 years.

In 1979, following the demolition of Homefield House and garages, it was decided to provide almshouse dwellings and 39 flats were built. They were opened in 1980 by Mrs Margaret Thatcher, Prime Minister and MP for Finchley. In 1989 48 further flats were built on the site.

In 1991 the Charities took over the administration of Pewterers court from the Worshipful company of Pewterers.

WelcomeTraditional Oriental Medicine believes good health comes from maintaining a state of dynamic balance within our body and our environment. Illness occurs when our equilibrium is upset through such things as excessive or prolonged stress, insufficient rest, trauma, worry, poor diet, constitutional weakness or environmental conditions.

“Energy imbalance – its excess or insufficiency – is the root of illness; it’s absence is death” Yoshio Manaka, M.D.

Symptoms are distress signals sent out by the body alerting us to an imbalance of energy or Qi. Acupuncture and shiatsu aim to restore this natural balance by regulating the flow of Qi in the body through the insertion of needles, massage (shiatsu) and the application of heat (moxibustion). Appropriate treatment combined with the right exercise, the right diet, sufficient rest and right thinking can bring about a deeper sense of relaxation, an improvement in energy levels, a reduction in pain levels and a healthier approach to the stressors in your life. As illness arises through an imbalance of energy, acupuncture and shiatsu are very affective when used as a preventative treatment aimed at maintaining health on all levels.

Treatments are tailored for your specific needs and particular sensitivities. I use a very gentle approach so that I can assess how your body is responding to the treatment and can make adjustments in order to provide you with the best results.

Treatment methods include Acupuncture, Moxibustion, Shiatsu, Sotai, Cupping, Auricular Acupuncture, Intradermal Needles, Facial Revitalisation Acupuncture, Japanese Facial Massage & Ear Candling.

“My immune system was very low and I felt run down and exhausted. A close friend highly recommended Fiona. Fiona has worked with me to restore both my energy and my sense of humour. She uses a combination of shiatsu and acupuncture and each treatment seems to give me exactly what I need. I just lie there and soak up the treatment. It’s like being plugged-in. There’s definitely more balance and fun in my life now.”

Kate C (NW London)

“I have been seeing Fiona on and off for several years and I wouldn’t go to anyone else! She’s very focused and knows my body and ailments so she can sort me out quickly. Fiona has so much knowledge and tries different methods depending on how I feel when I see her. My sessions make a real difference.”

About Your PractitionerI first became aware of the dynamic flow of Qi through the body after taking up Tai Qi in 1995 and this subsequently lead me to study oriental medicine. I initially trained in Shiatsu Japanese bodywork at the London College of Shiatsu and then sought to broaden my skills with TCM acupuncture.

More recently, I have undertaken further postgraduate training in Japanese Acupuncture and Sotai structural alignment which provide an ideal complement to my Japanese bodywork training. I have found acupuncture and shiatsu extremely supportive and nurturing for the body, mind and spirit and are therefore very effective for emotional issues such as anxiety, insomnia or depression as well as for specific localised issues such as back pain or frozen shoulder.

My clinical experience includes working in the Pain Clinic at the NHS Whittington Hospital in North London, with HIV patients as part of the Complementary Health Trust, and for the CNWL NHS Womens Service for drug and alcohol related problems.

I am a fully qualified acupuncturist and shiatsu practitioner having trained for four years in the UK with additional and on-going professional development courses including Manaka’s Yin Yang Balancing System, Classical Based Shiatsu, Shiatsu for Pregnancy, and a clinical apprenticeship with the Asanté Academy of Chinese Medicine. I am a member of the Acupuncture Society (MAcS), the Shiatsu Society UK (MRSS) and practice according to their high standards.





“I saw Fiona for acupuncture in the 40th week of my first pregnancy. My husband had only 2 weeks leave from the Navy and we were getting anxious. The hospital scheduled an induction for the following Tuesday but I really wanted a natural birth. Fiona really put me at ease and I could feel baby moving after the first treatment. I saw Fiona for a 2nd treatment and my contractions started just over a day later in the early hours of the morning. After my waters broke I started dilating and gave birth to my beautiful baby girl 4 1/2 hours later. The birth was everything I had hoped for and as natural as I hoped it would be.

“I usually arrive at the clinic completely wound up from meetings, train journeys and phone calls but I start to unwind as soon as soon as I get there. Fiona’s treatments leave me feeling deeply relaxed and grounded for the rest of the week. I sleep more deeply and feel refreshed and energised the following day. My stressed and tight computer shoulders are considerably more relaxed and I actually feel taller from all the wonderful stretches. I highly recommend Shiatsu – it’s a fantastic therapy.”

About the treatmentDuring your first consultation I will ask you a range of questions concerning your current health and history. Then I will examine you through palpation of the abdomen and pulse to feel for constrictions or imbalances and ask you for feedback. This will be the groundwork in selecting the appropriate treatment for you and we can discuss any questions or concerns you may have.

If acupuncture is appropriate, needles are inserted at carefully selected locations. I may also choose to use additional techniques depending on your individual needs, such as cupping, moxibustion (warming herbs), shiatsu, or sotai. People often feel a sense of calm and wellbeing during treatment, immediately afterwards and even for a few days following treatment.

Some points to remember• Eat a light meal at least one to two hours before treatment so you will have energy available for the treatment and be grounded• Bring or wear loose fitting clothes if you are having shiatsu.• Try to avoid strenuous activities for the remainder of the day

s Japanese Acupuncture and Hara DiagnosisJapanese Acupuncture is an extremely gentle but highly effective form of treatment. It is different to Chinese Acupuncture in a number of ways:-

• Less is moreJapanese Acupuncture techniques are directed at using the minimal amount of stimulation to attain the greatest results.

• Virtually painless Japanese needles are extremely fine, insertion is typically very shallow, and there is no need to manipulate the needle. This makes treatments virtually painless and provides a milder stimulation than the thicker Chinese needles.

• Moxibustion a prominent feature Moxibustion refers to the warming of acu-points by burning moxa, a substance derived from the mugwort plant. It has a warming, tonifying and deeply relaxing effect on the body.

• Strong emphasis on touch In Japan, acupuncture and massage are traditionally professions of the the blind who naturally refined and perfected diagnosis and treatment by touch. This includes palpation of the hara (the abdomen) for diagnosis, and palpation of meridians and acu-points before treating.

s Manaka’s Yin Yang Balancing SystemDr Manaka’s channel balancing system uses ion pumping cords (IPC) on master points of the extraordinary vessels, directing this balancing to the deepest layers of the body. IPC is a simple wire containing a diode allowing small (bio)electrical currents to flow from one needle to another. Very few needles are used and insertion is extremely shallow.

“I had suffered with occipital neuralgia for over a year. I saw the GP and the osteopath but the pain always returned after a couple of days and I didn’t want to live on pain killers. I am a self employed hair dresser and I was really worried that I would have to give up work. A friend suggested acupuncture. Fiona was an absolute wonder. After the first treatment the pain had halved and I was over the moon! After the fourth treatment the neuralgia had gone. All I have now is aching arms after a long days work but at 74 years of age I think that’s pretty good going. Fiona’s friendly, professional and straight forward manner always puts me at ease. I now have monthly MOT treatments which keep me ticking over. I know I’m in good hands.”

Acupuncture Helps Back Pain Acupuncture provided relief and lasting benefit to nearly twice as many lower-back-pain patients as conventional pharmaceutical and exercise therapy, according to a recent study.

Archives of Internal Medicine. 2007

ConditionsAcupuncture and shiatsu are beneficial as preventative medicine, for general wellbeing and stress reduction. They are also used for acute and chronic conditions, especially those in which western medicine has had little success in treating. The NHS support the use of acupuncture and shiatsu during maternity, in pain related conditions and as an adjunct in the treatment of addiction and cancer. Frequency of treatments is very much down to the individual. For most people 4-6 weekly treatments is recommended but this can vary depending on how long you have had your complaint and your current state of health. For very acute conditions, it may be helpful to come more than once a week. As your condition improves, the sessions can be spaced out. Every person is unique and some respond well to the first treatment whilst others may not see results for a number of sessions. Acupuncture and shiatsu have a cumulative effect, similar to the way exercise and a good diet can improve your health. s AcupunctureStudies have shown that acupuncture is most effective in helping ease the symptoms of the following conditions:- migraine, headache, dental pain, neck pain, chronic (long-lasting) back

pain, post-operative pain, and nausea (particularly chemotherapy-induced nausea)

Additional studies have shown that acupuncture may have a positive effect on other conditions including:- fatigue, digestive disorders, anxiety, depression, insomnia, asthma, and hay

fever.

In 2006 the Whittington Hospital in North London introduced a very successful pilot scheme offering acupuncture in the ante natal and day labour wards to treat nausea and vomiting, pain and stress and repositioning of the foetus, and during labour itself to help improve contractions, alleviate pain and anxiety, and expedite the birth.

s ShiatsuA recent three-country study on the effects and experiences of shiatsu commissioned by the European Shiatsu Federation showed shiatsu was being used to treat conditions or associated symptoms including:- asthma, back problems, cancer, pulmonary obstruction, depression,

headaches, bowel problems, palliative care, assisting pregnancy, joint pain and stress.

The research also showed that shiatsu treatments led to:

1. a reduction in physician/hospital visits over time alongside a reduction in the use of conventional medication

2. and a statistically significant reduction in symptom severity

The study also reported many other benefits from treatment including feeling more relaxed or calmer, more energized, improved posture, more able to cope and more balanced.


Health is more than an abscence of illness,

it’s the presence of energy, joy & relaxation
