Podcast feedEpisode 4: What became of the hospital building after WWI
These 4 podcasts explore the Legacy of the Endell Street Military Hospital, the only British army hospital to have been established and run by women during WWI. Opened in 1915 on the site of a former Victorian workhouse by Suffragette doctors Flora Murray and Louisa Garrett Anderson, its staff of 180 women treated over 26,000 in-patients and performed over 7,000 surgical operations.
In 2018 a group of local volunteers came together to learn research and recording skills as part of a Heritage Lottery funded project, and they created these podcasts to share their findings about what happened to the hospital and its female staff members after the war ended.

Camden Councillor Angela Mason talks to CCRadio about Universal Credit
Angela Mason, Camden Councillor and lead on matters concerning children and families, talked with Camden Community Radio about her concerns re the roll out of the Government’s policy of Universal Credit to Camden.
All new claims for Child Tax Credit, Housing Benefit, Income Support, Income-based JobSeekers Allowance, Income-related Employment & Support Allowance and working tax credit will be replaced by Universal Credit and claims will have to be made online rather than in person.
In 2019, all Housing benefit claims, excluding those of pensioners are to be replaced by Universal credit. Early rollout of the scheme suggests that it will drive people into deeper poverty and great hardship.

What Are they saying about the 8th Mrs Brown?
This piece was inspired by the fictional TV character Mrs Brown, which is set in Finglas, in North Dublin. A Finglas resident wonders what the people there think of the 8th amendment to the Irish constitution (which gives equal right to life to the foetus as to the pregnant woman), which is the subject of a referendum on 25th May. Taking a trip down memory lane and reviewing the hardships that putting the foetal hearbeat ahead of women’s health caused in Finglas (and all over Ireland). This audio was originally developed for a Speaking of IMELDA performance in Ireland in 2016.
The referendum to repeal the 8th Amendment to the Irish constitution and clear the way for permitting abortion up to 12 weeks takes place on 25th May. For more information, see the attached links

Sally Buchan has an installation this week at the Flux Exhibtion
Camden-based multi-media artist Sally Buchanan doesn’t necessarily know what her projects are going to be about, but always knows that they are going to happen. Not surprising then that her contribution to the FLUX Exhibition – this week in the Parade Ground of Chelsea College of the Arts – is called ‘The Inevitable Installation’. Sally talked to Camden Community Radio while she was still on a high from the (not quite finished) work on her sculpture which she hopes will draw people into a space that suggests another world, another dimension. Consisting of ten cubes, each a different colour and constructed with scaffolding and organza that people can walk through or view from outside, the installation plays with shape and colour as overlaps transpose colours and convey different hues. On Monday and Tuesday ‘The Inevitable Installation’ will be assembled (and filmed with a time lapse camera) in situ.
Entry is FREE, Gates open each day at 11am. Chelsea College is next to Tate Britain at 16 John Islip Street, SW1 4UJ.Bus 88, Pimlico tube station or River bus to Tate Britain.
