summarises some of the key issues identified by the communities themselves as being important. The report is based on information from the following sources: 1) Desk research using demographic data from: National Census (1991 and 2001) Greenwich Schools Census (2001-2007) DWP National Insurance No Allocations (2002-2006) Worker Registration Scheme (2004-2006) Greenwich Electoral Register (2005 – 2007) ONS Register of Births (2001-2005) GLA Ethnic Group Population Projections (2001-2026) 2) Discussions with officers providing Council services to new communities including housing and education. 3) Discussions with external organisations including Greenwich Primary Care Trust, Greenwich Community College, Metropolitan Police, Jobcentre Plus, local housing associations, employment agencies, shops and cafes, and London-wide community organisations. 4) Interviews carried out in 2006 with representatives and individuals from the following communities: Nigerian, Ghanaian, Sierra Leonean, Ugandan, Congolese, Zambian, Zimbabwean, Mauritian, Vietnamese, Sri Lankan, Chinese, Nepalese, Albanian, Kosovan, Turkish. 5) Focus group meetings involving participants from the Somali, Polish, Lithuanian, Czech, and Slovak communities. 2 Key findings Demographic The total ethnic minority population of Greenwich in 2006 was estimated to be between 75,000 and 80,000 (approximately 33% of the total population). This represents an increase of between 21% and 27% over the 2001 census figure of 63,112. The largest ethnic group after White British is Black African. In 2006, the Black African community was estimated to be 26,000 (11% of the total population). The largest communities are Nigerian, Somali and Ghanaian. The total Asian community was estimated in 2006 to be between 19,000 and 21,0000 (8-9% of the total population). Approximately half 4 are of Indian origin. Greenwich has among the largest Vietnamese and Nepalese communities in London. The borough has seen a rapid increase in the number of migrant workers from Eastern Europe especially from Poland and Lithuania but the total numbers are lower than in many other London boroughs. The GLA estimates that the total non-white population of Greenwich will increase by 137% between 2001 and 2026, with the largest increases being in the Black African and Asian Other groups and the smallest increases being in the India and Black Caribbean groups. Community Needs There are very wide differences between communities and within some ethnic groups on indicators of need such as unemployment, housing tenure, knowledge of English and educational attainment. Recently arrived refugee communities including Somalis and Kosovans tend to have to the highest levels of need. Key concerns raised by the communities included: The need for facilities and accommodation from which the community can provide its own organisation and support The importance of learning English and having access to ESOL classes Problems faced by children in settling at school, especially if they are from a country which has little formal education; and the need for extra support The need for more youth activities to divert young people away from crime Problems of overcrowding and gaining access to suitable housing Isolation faced by older people Health issues for refugees and people with HIV/AIDS. Restricted access to leisure services resulting from cultural and religious differences Access to employment which matched their level of skills and experience Access to Council grants Concerns about community safety and racism 3 What do we mean by a 'new community' By a new community we mean a group of people which shares common national or ethnic origins and which is currently growing either as a result of new births or because of inward migration from other areas of the country or from abroad. It does not necessarily imply that people in that group have anything else in common or have a shared sense of identify or would choose to identify with that group. 5 We recognise that ethnic, racial, cultural and national identity in Britain is becoming increasingly complex and fluid. The data for this report is drawn from official statistics which do not fully reflect this complexity. 4 The growth of new communities in Greenwich The growth of new communities in Greenwich has largely mirrored national and international population movements beginning with economic migration from new commonwealth countries in Asia and the Caribbean in the 1950s and 60s. Key events which have had an impact on the borough have been the expulsion of Asians from East Africa in the 1970s, the conflict in Cyprus in the 1960s and 70s, the dispersal of Vietnamese refugees from Hong Kong in the 1970s, and refugee movements following the outbreak of war in Sri Lanka in 1983, Somalia 1991, and from Kosovo in 1999. The borough also welcomed substantial numbers from Ireland in the 1970s and 80s and from a wide range of African countries from the 1980s to the present day. Most recently the borough has seen an inflow of migrant workers from Europe following the expansion of the EU in 2004. However, patterns of settlement vary widely across London. Compared with some other London boroughs, Greenwich has relatively small communities from the Middle East, South America and Eastern Europe. The borough also has a very small Jewish population. Between 1981 and 2001 the number of Greenwich residents born outside the UK increased from 19,932 (9.5%) to 38,738 (18%). In 2001, 63,112 people (29% of the Greenwich population) were from ethnic minority communities (other than White British). The borough had the sixth highest percentage of Sikhs, eighth highest percentage of Black Africans and the tenth highest percentage of Indians in London. Census migration data for the year preceding the census shows that there was a net outflow of White residents from the borough with a high number moving to Bexley. There was a net inflow of Black African, Pakistani, Chinese and other Asian residents. In 2005, 48% of births to Greenwich residents were to mothers born outside the UK. This compares to 51% for the whole of London. Some of the more established communities are now experiencing low growth, stabilisation or decline in numbers (Indian, Irish, Vietnamese, Caribbean) while others are growing rapidly as a result of new migration and high birth rates in existing communities. The groups increasing rapidly at the moment are some Black African, European and Asian communities. 6 The increase in privately rented accommodation in the new housing development areas is likely to have created new opportunities for migrants to settle in Greenwich. 5 The current profile The total ethnic minority population in 2006 was estimated to be in the region of 75,000 to 80,000, an increase of approximately 23% over the 2001 census figure. This represents between 32-34% of the total population (estimated by the GLA to be 234,034 in 2006). The table below is a best guess estimate based on recent evidence from the Worker Registration Scheme and the DWP National Insurance Number allocations. Region of origin Total population estimate Africa 26,000 Asia 20,000 Europe (EU) 11,000 Caribbean 7,000 Europe (2004 Accession) 4,500 Middle East 2,500 Europe (non EU) 2,000 Oceania 2,000 C & S America 1,500 N America 1,500 Communities of over 500 people which are thought to be increasing are: African: Nigerian, Ghanaian, Somali, South African, Zimbabwean, Ugandan Sierra Leonean Asian: Indian, Chinese, Pakistani, Sri Lankan, Nepalese, Bangladeshi European and other: Polish, Lithuanian, Cypriot, Turkish Communities of over 500 people which are thought to be stable or reducing are: Irish, Vietnamese, Caribbean The school population In September 2006, children from ethnic minority communities made up approximately 52% of pupils in Greenwich schools. Between 2001 and 2006 the number of ethnic minority pupils increased by 32%, while the total number of pupils remained almost unchanged. The groups of pupils which showed the largest increases between 2003 and 2006 were Nigerian (+70%), Ghanaian (+63%), Asian Other (+58%), Somali 7 (+50%), Other (+50%) and White European (+42%). The groups which fell in numbers included White Irish (-28%), White Other (-23%), Indian (-15%), White British (-10%), Caribbean (-5%) and Vietnamese (-4%). Provisional data from the January 2007 schools census suggests that a third of all school pupils are from families where a language other than English is spoken at home, with well over 100 different languages being spoken. Ethnic minority children represent over 80% of pupils in 8 primary schools including two schools which have over 90%. Children of Black African heritage now make up more than a quarter of the pupils in 25 primary schools and 50% or more in 4 primary schools. The number of children of mixed ethnic or national heritage is growing rapidly and is now over 2,800, 8% of the school population (almost three times larger than the number of Somali children, and only slightly fewer than the number of Nigerian children). At the census 5,860 people were of mixed ethnic heritage. 6 Projected changes In 2006, the GLA released population projections for the London boroughs for the period 2001 to 2026. These are based on migration patterns in the year before the Census and use aggregated ethnic groups (e.g. it is not possible to distinguish between White British and White European). They do not take into account the growth in migration from Europe following expansion of the EU in 2004, or the evidence on international migration from the DWP National Insurance data. It is also the case that international migration is often unpredictable and unforeseen. For these reasons, the projections must be used with extreme caution. The GLA estimates that the Greenwich population will increase by 35.5% between 2001 and 2026 from 217,460 to 294,718. The increases in each ethnic group are shown below: % change Greenwich 2001 % 2006 % 2016 % 2026 % 2001-26 White 167,602 77.1 166,114 71.0 176,088 63.7 176,452 59.9 5.3 Black African 15,579 7.2 24,667 10.5 40,253 14.6 48,884 16.6 213.8 Indian 9,535 4.4 10,789 4.6 13,440 4.9 15,114 5.1 58.5 Black Caribbean 6,842 3.1 7,651 3.3 9,288 3.4 10,049 3.4 46.9 Black Other 4,908 2.3 6,355 2.7 9,043 3.3 10,465 3.6 113.3 Other 3,805 1.7 5,367 2.3 8,234 3.0 9,643 3.3 153.5 Other Asian 3,421 1.6 5,246 2.2 8,440 3.1 10,080 3.4 194.6 Chinese 2,584 1.2 3,596 1.5 5,350 1.9 6,339 2.2 145.3 Pakistani 1,938 0.9 2,666 1.1 4,114 1.5 5,141 1.7 165.3 Bangladeshi 1,246 0.6 1,582 0.7 2,182 0.8 2,550 0.9 104.6 Total 217,460 100 234,034 100 276,430 100 294,718 100 35.5 8 Key points to note: The Black African community has the largest numerical and percentage increase between 2001 and 2026. By 2026 it is projected that the community will have grown by over 200% and will be nearly 17% of the total population, making it by far the largest ethnic minority group As the third largest ethnic group, the Indian community is projected to grow at a much slower rate Other groups projected to increase rapidly are Other Asian, Pakistani, Other and Chinese The lowest growth rates are among the White, Caribbean and Indian communities. 7 New Ethnic Communities The sections below provide estimates of the larger communities in the borough, and summarise information on economic status, educational attainment, religion and geographical location, where known. For some of the communities, London data is presented where Greenwich data is not available African Overview The community of African origin grew nearly four-fold between 1991 and 2001. A further three-fold increase from 15,579 to 48,884 is projected by the GLA between 2001 and 2026. The population in 2006 was estimated to be in the region of 25-30,000 (11-13% of the borough population). It is one of the largest African communities in the UK. In 2001 Greenwich had the 8th highest percentage of Black African residents. The three largest communities are Nigerian, Somali and Ghanaian. There are wide differences in the social and economic positions of the different communities. Generally those communities which have arrived in recent years as refugees such as Somalis, Rwandans and Congolese have fared less well than those from West African countries with more urban populations. The two largest West African communities in Greenwich – Nigerians and Ghanaians are more likely to be fluent in English, have higher level qualifications and a high employment rate. The majority of the African communities are Christian. Communities with a majority of Muslims include Somalis, Moroccans and Algerians. The Nigerian Community The Nigerian community is estimated to number between 10-12,000 (4-5% of the total population) and is the largest community after White British. The Nigerian community is continuing to grow - the Electoral Register showed an increase of 38% between 2005 and 2006, and the school census shows an increase of 70% between 2003 and 2006. The number of Nigerians registering for National Insurance numbers increased by 60% between 2002 9 and 2006 and in 2005/6 Greenwich had a higher number of registrations to Nigerians than any other local authority. The largest communities live in the north and north east of the borough especially Thamesmead, Abbey Wood, Glyndon and Woolwich. 84% of Greenwich residents born in Nigeria were Christian. In London, most people born in Nigeria (55%) were living in social rented accommodation, with 32% in owner occupied accommodation. Nigerian children in Greenwich achieved above average GCSE results in 2005. The Ghanaian community The Ghanaian community is thought to number between 2-3,000. It is also a community which is growing, with a 22% increase in numbers on the Electoral Register between 2005-6, and a 63% increase in the number of school pupils between 2003 and 2006. The majority of Ghanaians live in Thamesmead, Abbey Wood, Woolwich Riverside, Woolwich Common and Glyndon. 90% of Greenwich residents born in Ghana were Christian. In London, most people born in Ghana (57%) were living in social rented accommodation, with 30% in owner occupied accommodation. Ghanaian children in Greenwich achieved above average GCSE results in 2005. The Somali Community The Somali community probably numbers 3-4,000, making it the second largest African community. In February 2006 there were 985 Somali pupils - an increase of 50% over 2003. Although the number of children has grown rapidly, there has been a relatively small and declining number of National Insurance registrations to Somali migrants. This suggests that the population is increasing mainly through births to existing residents rather than as a result of new migration. The census showed that Greenwich had an average number of people born in Somalia compared with other London boroughs. Most Somalis live in the Woolwich Common, Woolwich Riverside and Glyndon areas. There are also communities in Plumstead, Ferrier Estate, Charlton and Abbey Wood. The community is predominantly Muslim (88%) and refugee in origin. The Somali community differs in many ways from the West African Nigerian and Ghanaian communities. In London, people born in Somalia had the 10 lowest employment rate of any migrant community. There is a high proportion of lone mother households. Somali children achieved well below average GCSE results in 2005. In London, 63% of Somalis were living in social rented accommodation, with 18% in privately rented accommodation. Other African Communities The South African and Zimbabwean communities have increased quite rapidly in Greenwich and London since 2001. There are approximately 1,000 of each (around 0.4% of the total population). At the time of the census most people born in South Africa living in Greenwich were White. It is assumed that the recent increases are likely to be of Black Africans with a number of Zimbabweans seeking asylum in the UK. The two next largest African communities are those from Uganda and Sierra Leone (around 1,000 each), both of which are likely to include people who have sought refuge in the UK. Over 60% of Greenwich residents born in these two countries were Christians. Among the other African communities with numbers thought to be between 250 and 500 are people from Tanzania, Zambia, Gambia, Cameroon, and Ivory Coast. Since 2002 the numbers of people applying for National Insurance numbers in Greenwich from the Congo, Cameroon and the Ivory Coast have doubled. There are a number of communities from other African countries where the total population is likely to be less than two hundred. These include Ethiopia, Eritrea, Angola, Rwanda, Algeria and Morocco. Most of these African communities live in the Woolwich, Glyndon and Thamesmead areas. Children from other Black African communities achieved below average GCSE results in 2005. Asian Overview The total population of Asian origin is likely to be in the region of 19-21,000 (8- 9% of the total population). By far the largest community is from India, followed by China, Vietnam and Pakistani. Other substantial communities are from Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. The Indian Community The Indian community is made up of around 10,000 people (4% of the total population). Many families were originally from Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania and are now well established and settled with an ageing population. There are just over 1,000 children from Indian families in Greenwich schools (2.7% of 11 the total). However the number of school pupils of Indian origin fell by 15% between 2003 and 2006. Over 1,000 Indian nationals registered for National Insurance numbers over the past four years, indicating a small growth in the Indian community due to an inflow of migrant workers. The community remains centred around the Plumstead area, although Indian families are also now widely settled across the borough. Approximately one third are Sikh and one third Hindu. Christians are 17% and Muslims 4%. Over 80% of the Indian community in Greenwich live in owner occupied homes. Indians have a high employment rate. Indian children in Greenwich achieved well above average GCSE results in 2005. The Chinese Community There are probably around 3-4,000 people of Chinese origin in the borough (1.5% of the total population) with very diverse roots including people born in Vietnam, China, Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia. The community is continuing to grow as a result of new migration with 590 people registering for National Insurance numbers between 2002 and 2006. Chinese people were more likely to say they have no religion (67%) than any other group. Chinese children in Greenwich achieved well above average GCSE results in 2005. 44% of Chinese residents in Greenwich live in owner occupied accommodation with 36% in social rented accommodation. The Vietnamese Community The Vietnamese community is likely to be 2-3,000 (1% of the population). In 2006 there were 555 Vietnamese school pupils, a fall of 3% since 2003. Around half of people born in Vietnam are Buddhists. In London, the majority of people born in Vietnam (62%) were living in social rented accommodation, and 22% were living in owner occupied accommodation. Vietnamese children in Greenwich achieved above average GCSE results in 2005. 12 The Pakistani Community At the Census, nearly 2,000 people gave their ethnic group as Pakistani (just under 1% of the total population). There were 475 Pakistani children in Greenwich schools, an increase of 14% over 2003. The total population is now likely to be between 2,000 and 3,000. The Pakistani community is centred around the Plumstead area. 87% of Pakistanis are Muslim. 67% of Pakistanis in Greenwich live in owner occupied accommodation. Pakistani children in Greenwich achieved above average GCSE results in 2005. The Sri Lankan Community The Sri Lankan community is estimated to be between 1-2,000. At the census there were 821 people born in Sri Lanka and 845 people gave their ethnic group as Sri Lankan. 53% of Greenwich residents born in Sri Lanka were Hindus, 19% were Christians and 5% were Buddhists. This suggest that the majority of Sri Lankans in Greenwich are of Tamil origin. In London, most people born in Sri Lanka (58%) were living in owner occupied accommodation, with 28% living in privately rented accommodation. The Bangladeshi Community The Bangladeshi community is also thought to be between 1,000 and 2,000. At the census, 1,225 people were identified as Bangladeshi with 631 born in Bangladesh. In 2006, there were 327 Bangladeshi school pupils, an increase of 12% since 2003. 87% of Bangladeshis are Muslim. Bangladeshi children in Greenwich achieved average GCSE results in 2005. 50% of Bangladeshis in Greenwich live in owner occupied accommodation with 39% in social rented accommodation. The Nepalese Community Greenwich is thought to have one of the largest Nepalese communities in the UK with 500-1,000 people. 530 Nepalese people registered for work in Greenwich between 2002 and 2006. This is understood to be related to the historical presence of Gurkha soldiers based in the borough rather than an inflow of refugees from the civil war in Nepal. 78% of Greenwich residents born in Nepal were Hindus. 13 In London, most people born in Nepal lived in owner occupied (43%) or privately rented (42%) accommodation. Other Asian Communities Asian communities with up to 500 people include Malaysians, Philippinos, Afghans, Japanese, Thais and Burmese. European Overview The total population of European origin is likely to be 15-20,000 (7-9% of the borough population). The largest group (10-12,000) is from EU countries excluding the 2004 accession countries. There are likely to be 4-5,000 residents from the accession countries with a further 2-3,000 from non-EU countries. There were 1,191 White European school pupils in 2006, an increase of 42% since 2003. Provisional data from the 2007 schools census suggests that there were 119 children whose families spoke Albanian at home, 76 Polish, 52 Lithuanian and 40 Russian. EU (excluding accession countries) The largest and most established community is from the Irish Republic (approx 5,000 – just over 2% of the total population). The age profile resembles that of the White British with an older population and declining numbers of school age. In 2006 there were 304 Irish school pupils, a fall of 28% since 2003. Communities of between 1 and 2 thousand people include Germans and French, with the remaining communities from other Western European communities such as Italy, and the Netherlands likely to be less than 1,000. All these communities have grown since 2002 as a result of new migrants registering for work. It is quite possible that some of the new migrants will be refugees from Africa and Asia who have been granted nationality status in other West European countries. EU accession countries Since 2002, over 2,000 workers from these countries have registered for work in Greenwich. Since 2004 it has been the most rapidly increasing group of migrant workers but the numbers are relatively small in comparison to many other London boroughs. Ealing, for example, had more than 10 times as many Polish migrant workers. Greenwich is unusual in having approximately the same number of Lithuanian migrants as Poles. Nationally, Poles make up over 70% of the accession migrants. National figures also show that the vast majority were young and single with 82% aged between 18 and 34 and only 4% having dependants under the age of 17. The total number of residents from these countries is estimated to be around 4,500 as there were approximately 1,500 residents recorded in 2001 Census, and it is likely that many migrant workers have not formally registered for work. 14 Most EU migrants are believed to be living in privately rented accommodation or staying with relatives. 790 Lithuanians registered for work between 2002 and 2006. The Lithuanian community is mainly settled in the Glyndon, Woolwich Riverside and Woolwich Common area. Over the same period, 770 Poles registered. Poles are more widely settled across the borough including a number in West Greenwich. There were fewer than 200 registrations of people from Latvia, and the Czech and Slovak Republics. Analysis of the Workers Registration Scheme indicates that 41% of EU Accession country migrants working in Greenwich are in factory/warehouse jobs; 19% in hotel/catering; 14% in cleaning; and between 3 – 5% work in childcare/residential care; admin/secretarial; construction/building; arts and leisure; and retail. Only 1% work in teaching or professional/managerial occupations. Europe (Non EU countries) In 2001, the two largest communities by country of birth were people from Kosovo (225) and Russia (119). There have been relatively few migrants registering for work from non EU countries since 2002, the largest being Yugoslavia, including the Former Yugoslavian Republic (180), Bulgaria; (150) and Romania (100). The official data therefore suggests that the overall numbers are quite small at between 1-2,000. Middle Eastern The borough is home to a relatively small number of people (around 2,000) with roots in the Middle East. The communities from Turkey, Iran and Iraq have all grown in recent years as a result of new migrants registering for work. The largest group is from Turkey and is likely to include a number of Kurds. The schools census identifies 571 children as being of Turkish or Turkish Cypriot origin. These children achieved well below average GCSE results in 2005. The number of pupils has remained fairly static since 2003. 877 people gave their ethnic group as Turkish at the census. 180 migrants from Turkey registered for work between 2002-6. The census records that there were 250 residents born in Iraq. There have been 110 work registrations since 2002. There were 169 people born in Iran with 50 people registering for work since 2002. Among the communities where there are likely to be fewer than 100 people are Lebanese, Israelis and Saudi Arabians. 15 Caribbean The total population of Caribbean origin is likely to be around 7,000 (3% of the total population), much as it was at the time of the Census. In 2006, there were 1,376 Caribbean school pupils (3.8% of the total). This represents a fall of 4.5% since 2003. 500 Caribbean nationals were granted national insurance numbers between 2002 and 2006. Country of birth and DWP data shows that most Caribbean residents have roots in Jamaica (71%), with smaller numbers from Trinidad and Tobago (11%), Barbados (9%), and St Lucia (5%). Caribbean children in Greenwich schools achieved slightly below average GCSE results in 2005 although there was a marked difference in achievement between boys and girls. Other communities Residents born in North America (principally the USA and Canada) number around 1,500. Just over 1,000 were born in Central and South America. The largest groups are from Guyana, Columbia and Brazil. There has been a growth in the last two communities as a result of migrants registering for work but the overall numbers remain small at less than 500. There are approximately 2,000 residents born in Australia and New Zealand. 8 Needs and views of new ethnic communities in Greenwich This section summarises the needs and views expressed by representatives from a wide range of new communities. Discussions were held with ethnic community groups, organisations that worked with particular ethnic communities and individuals from ethnic communities where community groups or networks did not exist. Focus groups were undertaken with people from four Eastern European countries. Information from previous consultation initiatives has also been included. The term "community representative" or "communities" is used within the report as short hand to describe the individuals and groups met. It should be noted that their views are unlikely to represent the views of all members of that community. Many communities were satisfied with aspects of their lives, with the Council and with living in Greenwich. Not surprisingly, refugee communities experienced the highest levels of need. Many communities lacked knowledge about services and how to access them. 16 Community facilities The need for community facilities or premises where people can meet to organise and provide self help services, youth services and social events, was the need most commonly expressed by many of the communities interviewed – particularly by refugee communities. The community itself is the first place where newly arrived community members go for support and advice on how to access services. The community plays an important role in helping new arrivals to successfully settle in the UK. Many felt that the Council could assist by providing their community with accommodation or grant aid to enable them to rent accommodation. Language barriers Lack of English was identified as a key barrier to accessing services and employment for communities where English is not commonly spoken in their county of origin. For some communities language was a particular problem for women rather than for men and their inability to communicate contributed to feelings of isolation. Although many younger people in the Chinese and Vietnamese communities now speak English, older people are often unable to communicate in English. This is supported by a recent survey of UK elders that found that English language skills were significantly poorer among Chinese and Vietnamese elders than among any other ethnic group. Learning English was seen as vital for all communities. Eastern European communities were strongly motivated to attend ESOL classes and this is seen as key to accessing jobs and improving job prospects. (Over 60% of ESOL evening classes provided by Greenwich Community College are attended by Eastern Europeans). However a number of concerns were raised in respect of ESOL classes: Difficulties accessing classes owing to their oversubscription. Some people from Eastern European communities reported having to wait up to two years to get a place in an ESOL class. Classes were not sufficiently tailored to the needs of different communities, some of which had very diverse levels of literacy in their own language as well as in English. Arranging child care in order to attend classes proved difficult for those communities with high numbers of lone parents Eastern Europeans who tended to work during the day could only attend classes in the evening. In some West African communities, where English is spoken widely, it was said that some people find it hard to communicate and be understood because of their accents and that this can reduce their employment prospects and hinders their full integration. 17 Children's Education Representatives from many refugee communities expressed concerns about the education of their children including: Children struggling to compete with others in their age group Insufficient support in settling into school Perceptions that there is less support for children from newer ethnic communities than for those from some of the more established groups Insufficient bi-lingual teachers or teaching support staff Difficulties parents had in communicating with the school and understanding the curriculum and teaching methods Some refugee communities raised the problem of being unable to communicate effectively with their own children. Many children soon find it easier to speak English than their parent"s mother tongue. This can cause communication problems within families. Suggestions to improve the difficulties experienced by children in schools included, dedicated support in schools for children who do not speak English and in particular for those who come from a country were there is no established educational system e.g. Somalia; increased bi-lingual support in schools so that children can effectively understand and learn, and in order to improve communication between the school and parents; and initial separate or supplementary classes in the child"s own language to bring them up to speed with their UK peers. Many communities, particularly refugee communities and those from Nepal felt that the provision of dedicated after school or supplementary school provision, particularly in English and Maths, was in part a solution to the difficulties faced by their children. Other educational problems raised by individual communities included: Vietnamese children were felt to be losing out on their education because they are frequently taken out of school to help with interpreting for parents or grandparents when attending GP, hospital or other service appointments. Lithuanians reported difficulties in finding a school place for older children. They were also concerned at the British approach to schooling, which they felt gave too much emphasis on play. Youth services The majority of new ethnic communities raised the need for youth activities such as youth clubs, sports and arts activities. Refugee communities were concerned that their children and young people may get involved in drugs and crime and wanted to see more activities to divert young people from these activities. For some, mainstream youth clubs were seen as places of exclusion rather than integration. Young people from recently arrived communities experienced problems attending mainstream youth provision because of language difficulties. Recommendations included: 18 The provision of culturally specific youth activities for particular ethnic communities. Almost all refugee communities made this recommendation. Increased support and encouragement to young people to take part in mainstream youth activities Youth leaders to better reflect the diversity of the community – including the newer ethnic communities Increased schemes to help young refugees find training and work Vietnamese and Albanian representatives were concerned about unaccompanied minors from their countries who are placed in a variety of families and may find themselves isolated from other children in similar circumstances. Housing The majority of African refugee communities and the Turkish community reported that they experience problems with overcrowding. This is partly due to family size, and family and friends from elsewhere in the country joining existing families in order to find employment and seek support. They were concerned that the Council"s stock of larger properties may be insufficient to meet demand. Refugee communities raised difficulties about applying for Council housing. A number of communities said that they did not understand the Council"s choice-based letting scheme and some perceived the Council"s allocations policy to be unfair. Others felt that the policy did not take into account the desire for people to live close to others in their community. Communities with older members were concerned at waiting times for sheltered housing. Vietnamese older people explained that they found it difficult to report housing problems such as repairs, due to language barriers and lack of knowledge about who to report to. Many communities were concerned at the cost of housing in the private sector and some felt that high private rents were a disincentive to finding work, as the low wages they would receive would not make up for the loss in housing benefits. Eastern Europeans were unsure of the rights and responsibilities of tenants, landlords and letting agencies. Problems experienced included accommodation agencies retaining deposits at the end of a contract; high and in some cases illegal agency fees; and poor conditions with landlords refusing to undertake repairs. Subletting was common amongst these communities. Many of the Eastern Europeans who attended focus groups expressed an interest in applying for social housing, but were unsure whether they had a right to apply. 19 Older people Communities with a growing number of older people highlighted the isolation of older people as a key concern. Many suggested that culturally specific day centre provision for their elders would be of assistance. Health Eastern European, African refugee and Turkish community representatives said that health services function differently in the UK to their home country and that they found medical services here of comparatively poor standard. Many communities from Africa felt that GPs were only interested in an individual"s "presenting" symptoms and did not undertake a full medical examination. This has led to a loss of confidence in prescribed treatment. The Turkish representative said that women are reluctant to go to GPs about a medical problem and are more likely to ask someone in the community for advice. This is in part due to language barriers. Eastern Europeans reported that they would seek a second opinion from a doctor or friend in their home country and avoid using GP services unless absolutely necessary. The majority of people in the focus groups said that they do not use UK dentists owing to the costs, and that they would prefer to travel home. They also found prescriptions costly and many buy medication from home. Refugee communities raised a number of health problems: African refugee communities were concerned that HIV and AIDs may go undetected within their and other Africans communities due to under-testing. Many young girls were said to only discover they have been infected when they attend hospital for pre-natal care. Young people lacked knowledge of sexual health and available services and that this may lead to unwanted teenage pregnancies. Depression and mental health problems were said to be particularly prevalent amongst the African communities who have fled civil war. The Sierra Leone representative explained that some unaccompanied minors were previously child soldiers. Some African refugees arrive with malaria and typhoid. Obesity and lack of sporting and physical activity Access to health services for those communities where English language is a barrier. Leisure services Many women from African/Muslim refugee communities are reluctant to use public leisure services because of cultural and religious issues. For example, women felt uncomfortable at using public baths and attending public aerobics classes. Some people said they had difficulties understanding instructors in organised classes because of language barriers. Some communities with high prevalence of HIV/AIDS were uncertain whether they had rights to use public leisure services. 20 Employment and training All of the communities interviewed expressed a strong motivation to find employment and to improve job prospects. West African, Nepalese and Tamil communities explained that they often accept low skilled and low paid jobs as their qualifications and experience in their country of origin were not acknowledged in the UK. Unemployment and finding work was the key problem for many African refugee communities. Reasons varied from lack of understanding about how to find a job, lack of contacts, lack of work experience in Britain, low self esteem and confidence, poor interview techniques and perceived discrimination in recruitment practices. Language was mentioned as a key barrier to work for the Vietnamese, Chinese, Turkish and Eastern European communities. Lack of childcare was a significant barrier for some communities – particularly those with high percentage of lone parents. Some communities experienced difficulties in using local job centres such as: Having to see a different person each time they visited Language barriers Too much emphasis placed on training, only to be offered a job that did not require many skills. Lithuanians who frequently used employment agencies as a key way of finding work were concerned that agencies exploited their lack of knowledge of employment rights. Many explained that they were paid very low wages, worked long hours, without overtime. Some said that wages had been withheld on the grounds that they had not worked hard enough. Some communities felt that the Council"s workforce was not representative of their communities. Access to Grants from the Council Some communities said that they did not know how to apply for Council grants. Others voiced concerns as to the transparency and perceived fairness of the Council"s grant funding allocation and application process, with some perceiving that more established Asian ethnic communities were given preference. Other communities were concerned that the new system of open bidding for grant funding may mean that their community will lose out because they had received grant assistance in the past. Community safety Racism was a key concern for Sri Lankan, Nepalese, Chinese and Somali communities. The Nepalese community felt that their community in the Plumstead area was being targeted and sited a number of recent racial incidents. The Chinese community representatives said owners and employees in Chinese restaurants suffer racial abuse on a regular basis. The 21 Turkish community reported that Kurdish women wearing headscarves are frequently harassed. Many refugee communities were concerned about media portrayals of refugees as "scroungers" and similar comments made by national public figures. Concerns were voiced by African communities about rivalry between Somali youth and West/North African youth gangs – and felt that the youth and diversionary activities was answer. Some communities perceived that the police targeted young people in their community and were "high handed". (Somali, Nigerian, Zimbabwean]. Some residents from Eastern Europe said that they had experienced or feared attacks from young people and criticised a lack of police presence. However, others said that they felt safe in Greenwich and that this was one of the things they most liked about living here. Community cohesion and integration Many communities interviewed saw themselves remaining in Greenwich for some time. Most were keen to integrate with the wider community. The picture was more varied among people from Eastern European countries with many people saying they only intended to stay in Britain for a short while or that they had not yet decided on their future. More recently arrived refugee communities expressed a strong view that they need to meet and socialise as a community in order to provide mutual support as a stepping stone to integrating with the wider community. For some the provision of self help groups, single ethnic community and youth facilities was essential for building the capacity of their communities and for ensuring that their children learnt traditional values. Nigerian and Ghanaian communities were evidently integrating with the wider community particularly when at school, college or work. There were some concerns that children did not socialise with children of other ethnicities outside of the school environment. Polish, Czech and Slovak communities felt that they had developed good relations with their English (white) neighbours and work colleagues. Lithuanians however said that they preferred to socialise within their own community, in part due to language barriers. . 22 APPENDICES Community groups consulted Advice and Career Development for the Somali Community AHEAD Association for Relief and Medical Aid Association of Chinese Women Besa Chinese Community School Chinese-Vietnamese Elderly Group Ghana Greenwich Association Greenwich & Lewisham Young Peoples Theatre Greenwich Ajoda Association Greenwich Vietnam Community Harmonian Albanian group Mama Afrika Meridian Womens Group Nepal Forum New Wine Church Order of 12 SIMBA Somali Healthcare and Advocacy Services Somali Womens Training and Development Organisation South London Turkish Cultural Society Tamil Action Committee Tamil Community Housing Association Vietnamese Mental Health Service Voice of Mauritius Further information Census and other statistics can be requested from the Council"s Strategic Development Information Unit.

Happy Friday friends! It's time for another five for Friday post and today I've decided to mix it up by using my final point to share some of the things I've loved/loled at this week. It's way too hot today for me to think of some clever and witty things to say here, so I urge you to please see the next point and then you will understand.
I'm literally melting
I'm currently sat in a towel after a cold shower, counting my lucky stars that I don't have any teaching work today because that means I can hide out inside and avoid the scorching heat as much as possible. It's already 28°C (82°F) in Frankfurt and according to Google, the weather is planning on going as high as 37°C (98°F) today. Apparently Germany isn't dicking around when it comes to summer this year.
Selling our stuff
Dan and I decided a long time ago that we would be selling most of our belongings in Frankfurt when we leave. This is partly due to the fact that we are moving into furnished accommodation in London come September, but also because we have acquired a lot of crap in order to fill our apartment here. For the longest time we lived a minimalistic lifestyle, but we have been guilty of letting that slide in the last 6 months because our apartment here could accommodate for it. So now we are in the process of selling old laptops, the TV, kitchenware, cheap Ikea furniture and anything else that is not a necessity.
When we were taking photos of all of our crap at 11pm at night to list on Facebook selling groups and eBay, I was not happy. When stupid people on Facebook sales groups (sorry guys, but you know exactly the type I mean) were asking ridiculous questions and wasting my time, I was not happy. However, now that the extra money is rolling in from eBay sales, I'm happy.
Here's a valuable piece of advice that I wish I had know sooner; you'll find less morons on eBay.
Blogilates June Calendar
I officially completed my first Blogilates calendar this month, after completing the Blogilates Beginner's Calendar 2.0 in April and sporadically doing the May calendar when I wasn't travelling. It feels awesome to have completed another workout calendar by Cassey and most importantly, I am noticing some awesome changes to my shape. I'll admit that I've not been watching what I am eating too much because we eat a pretty balanced diet at home anyway, and I am more interested in gaining muscle than actually losing any weight, but I've noticed some definition developing which is so motivational right now!
I'm hoping to complete July's calendar too, although I may have a few disruptions with moving (guys, it's less than two weeks now!) and my sister's wedding, but some exercise is better than none, right?
Getting the chop…?
I have spent the last 3 years growing my hair in the hopes of having goddess-like hair, which so far hasn't made an appearance and I'm thinking probably isn't ever going to. My hair is currently half way down my back and all I do with it is wear it loose and natural, or shove it up in a bun because it's pissing me off/making me too hot. As much as I don't want a hairstyle that takes me hours to prepare in the morning, I'm thinking I could have something with a little more 'umph' to it.
I'm struggling because when I was heavier, shorter hair styles drew attention to my chubby cheeks and I hated it, however when I lost weight one of the first things to change was my face shape (it became thinner and more oval-like), so I'm wondering if I can pull off a long bob? Or am I crazy and just considering this because it's so bloody hot right now?!
Around the web
Dolphin Dives onto Boat, Breaks Woman's Ankles, Punches Another in the Face – I rarely read things that make me real life LOL, but this article did. I think the title says it all.
Michelle Obama Lifting Phone Ban On The White House Tours – I'm a bit late to the party on how awesome Michelle Obama is, but one of my students is basically obsessed with her (talks constantly about her book, uses her for every character description and just generally won't shut up about her) and so I had a bit of an eye opener. She is, like, the perfect First Lady.
Guys Try Leggings For The First Time – I've watched this a few times now and I chuckle every time. I love the way one guy wiggles into the leggings because it's SO accurate. We all know the 'leggings wiggle'.
This Is Why I Unfollowed You On Instagram (And Why You Shouldn't Care) A spot on post from Amber which felt very timely considering I had a blogger pulling some weird shit with me this week after I unfollowed them on Instagram. Guys, it's just the internet.
How To Afford Being A Student In London – Brendan's guide has answered so many of my questions about London and given us some truly invaluable tips for first year, particularly when we are so unsure of how things will actually be until we arrive.
So, how was your week?

One of the most interesting entertainers to emerge from the pool of soulful crooners in recent memory hails from Atlanta, and they call him Isaiah. This debonair Georgian with the silky smooth vocals has chosen as his debut single the voluptuous song "Slow." This jam is not a throwback to the good-old-days when major record labels ran the show. This music is an independent, state-of-the-art BSE production, which in itself is a tribute to Isaiah's vocal prowess. In "Slow," you will find the crisp tonality juxtaposed with perforated lyrics quite enjoyable to listen and dance to. Just imagine a man and woman clutching so desperately on the dance floor that they become one, moving and grooving to each pulsating beat in sweet harmony. That is the essence of "Slow.""

OLO, a digital commerce engine for restaurants, announced a $5 million dollar Series B financing from PayPal and existing investors. The New York-based company is hiring as it aggressively scales operations for 2013.
OLO allows customers to order and pay from restaurant websites and mobile apps, so that they can skip the line. OLO transmits the prepaid order directly to the restaurant point-of-sale (POS) system. The company has recently seen a surge in mobile ordering from existing clients on its platform, with hundreds of restaurants receiving more than 50 percent of digital orders through mobile.
OLO accepts all major credit cards, many stored-value cards and digital wallet providers.
"OLO is already profitable and is taking on this Series B funding round to scale up in the fast-growing digital commerce market," said Noah Glass, founder and CEO of OLO. "As our existing restaurant clients are seeing the majority of digital transactions ordered by smartphone, new restaurant brands are getting excited about digital commerce."
OLO just reached 2 million end users, including customers such as Five Guys Burgers & Fries and Cold Stone Creamery, doubling its total user base in less than 12 months. The company expects to announce a series of large chain deals in Q1 2013, in addition to recent deals with chains such as Dickey's Barbecue Pit, Noodles & Co. and Veggie Grill from the last quarter.
"As consumers embrace mobile as the everyday way to shop and pay, companies like OLO are helping brands like Cold Stone Creamery and Five Guys Burgers & Fries to harness the power of mobile commerce," said Hill Ferguson, vice president of Global Product for PayPal. "With OLO, restaurants have an innovative way to accept prepaid online and mobile orders and reduce waiting times for their customers. We are excited about the opportunities ahead for OLO and PayPal."
Since the company's founding in June 2005, OLO has raised $13.75M in total funding from David Frankel (who seeded OLO and is now managing partner at Founder Collective), RRE Ventures, Core Capital Partners and PayPal.

Do you know the famous american "naked mile"? Just imagine a lots of teen girls and boys running totally naked. And of course, after reaching the finish, everyone wants to get in some warm place, and the best for them is to get warm by each other.
Just watch these brunette girls warming each other. These lesbian girls are definetely hot. Just watch them licking and fingering the each other's pussies!

St. Patrick's Day party season begins in earnest this weekend, with a whiskey-centric bar crawl around Dupont Circle and a wear-green-or-get-pinched bar crawl through Clarendon. But if your idea of celebrating Ireland's patron saint leans toward Celtic art and music instead of tipsy twentysomethings wearing "Kiss Me I'm Irish" T-shirts, there are plenty of other ways to celebrate. Here are a few of our favorites.
Tuesday, March 5
The Wolfe Tones have been performing Irish rebel songs on both sides of the Atlantic since the mid-1960s, and the band's version of the Republican anthem "A Nation Once Again" was voted the top song of all time in a 2002 poll of BBC World Service listeners. Some $35 tickets still remain for tonight's 6 p.m. show at Flanagan's Harp and Fiddle in Bethesda.
Saturday, March 9
A special family-friendly Saturday morning performance finds the young musicians of the Bog Band performing traditional Irish tunes at the National Theatre while the Shannon Dunne Dance Company shows off its floor-pounding steps.
Friday-Sunday, March 15-17
To accompany the Folger Shakespeare Library's current exhibition about "Nobility and Newcomers in Renaissance Ireland," the Folger Consort will perform three nights of Irish, English and Scottish music of the 16th and mid-17th centuries for harp, bagpipe and fiddle. Friday's performance is preceded by a free discussion about music of the period, beginning at 7 p.m.
Saturday, March 16
Just in time for St. Patrick's Day, the Keegan Theatre stages "A Behanding in Spokane," the most recent play by Irish-British playwright Martin McDonagh. McDonagh, known for his dark comedies, is the author of "The Cripple of Inishmaan" and the writer and director of "In Bruges." "A Behanding in Spokane" earned a Tony nomination for lead actor Christopher Walken when it debuted in New York City in 2010.
Sunday, March 17
Admiral Mike Mullen, the former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, is the grand marshall for the annual Washington D.C. Saint Patrick's Parade on Constitution Avenue. The parade, which features bagpipers, bands, dancers and floats representing civic associations and local businesses, starts at Seventh Street NW at noon, and heads for 17th Street NW. It's free to watch along the parade route, but grandstand seating is available between 16th and 17th streets for $15 per person.
Students of the Culkin School of Irish Dance perform on the Kennedy Center's Millennium Stage, beginning at 6 p.m.

26th April Phoenix live @ the Constitution Hall. We headed there straight after work. A road trip from Philly to Washington to go and see a band that I've been lusting over for quite some time now – Phoenix.
An amazing soundtrack was played while driving there as my eyes striped the America land passing by. America is new to me so it doesn't take much to intrigue me eyes. Both sight and sound senses were tickled during this trip.
Washington is a nice place full of profoundness. The Venue where Phoenix was playing ( DAR Constitution Hall) was to, a place of great character.
We were second row from the front which equals great photo opportunity; I could almost smell Thomas Mars!!!
They played a number of my favorite songs including 1901 and Too Young, which I was reminded, was played in the film Lost in Translation and Shallow Hal
The atmosphere was great and I had a blast, not bad for a Monday night, work night.
The evening finished with everyone being invited onto the stage, yes that's right the entire hall was crawling forward to join them on the stage.
Phoenix sure knows how to make their fans happy!!!
Stay tuned for more free people gig reviews in the future we plan to go to many during the summer months.
