Arts and Health - Exchange & Mart
Hold on to your hats, here's another completely free North West Arts & Health Network event!
What's all this? - another free event - and with a 100% genuine guarantee that there'll be no - absolutely no - arts and health free-marketeers taking your hard-earned cash. This is all about the people that affect social change, those who work in the field - artists, health and social care workers, volunteers and people who 'use' services. In short - the people who are part of this arts and health community because of their commitment and vision - those who see the bigger picture from a place of experience.
For now - and still keeping hold of your hats - let's think what we might be able to offer each other, and maybe what we need. What skills we have, what passions we are pursuing and even what resources we could share, or need. You might be bursting with ideas, that others could support you with. Individually and collectively - we've so much to learn from each other - and even more potential.
And this isn't about us trying to do things 'on the cheap' - on the contrary - it's about us thinking and doing things differently, gathering momentum and nurturing new possibilities.
Booking and much, much more very soon...
*denotes gibberish, but you must admit it got you hungry and kept you reading! Alas, there'll be no food, but I may push the boat out and get us some drinks! Plus I've tried to fit this event in at the end of the day, so most people that have daytime commitments, might be able to come along...

What A Life!
And in our series of occasional films to mark the the 70th anniversary of the NHS, this week we present: What A Life!
British Public Information Films (1949)
Director: Michael Law
Sponsor: Central Office of Information
"This Richard Massingham film is a bizarre contribution from the Crown Film Unit, and addresses the challenges Britain faced in the austere post-war era. Wartime enthusiasm and self-confidence had become seriously eroded by the crisis-laden year of 1947. Domestically, the continuation of rationing, including for the first time bread (between 1946-48) and the fuel and economic crises, together with Indian independence, 1947 was largely a year that dented the immediate post war assurances.
Although the wartime Lend-Lease agreement had enabled Britain to continue its struggle against the Axis Powers alone, it gave the misleading appearance of the nation as a first-rank power. In the immediate post war years it gradually became hard to understand how as a winning power, head of a great empire, second only to USA in influence, became so austere and destitute.
The film has no obvious point beyond, as the British Film Institute pointed out, displaying Massingham's fondness for black humour and parodying along the way that familiar complaint, "the country is going to the dogs!" In fact this film caused some controversy in Parliament. On 15 February 1949, the Conservative MP for Twickenham, Edward Keeling asked the President of the Board of Trade in the House of Commons. "Has the Lord President seen this film? Does he know that it shows two men so depressed by the conditions of life the in England today that they try to drown themselves, but make a mess of it? Does he really think that this is the sort of film on which £9,000 of taxpayers' money should be spent?" "
