Spring to Summer 2010
 We have not added any news for a long time, but that does not mean we have not been busy.
In March 2010 Awards for All gave us funds towards Where in the World, which is our fun and educational community cohesion project centred on Hackney. If you would like to read more about its award-winning creative approach to celebrating the ethnic diversity of Hackney, please click here. We are very happy to be working on that with a range of community organisations and people of all ages who have volunteered to take part - including one Hackney secondary school.
 In May 2010 we joined with The Learning Trust, Rio Cinema, Age Concern Hackney and Hackney Council to celebrate Local & Community History Month with our Putting on the Blitz project.
Over a hundred people - including more than fifty pupils from six Hackney primary and secondary schools, representatives of the older residents of Hackney, with their personal memories of The Blitz, joined The Speaker, and lots of other very special people (including the Queen's own representative to the London Borough of Hackney) in Hackney Town Hall to mark the 70th anniversary of The Blitz, which started in September 1940.
If you would like to know more about Putting on the Blitz, please have a look here. To find out about more of our news you could read our most recent Annual Report.
Why we need your help ....
When readers contact us the two things they say to us most often are: "I love TimeLine" and "Keep up the good work". Last year we did a consumer research survey about things that people like about TimeLine, and what we should change. Click here to read some of the responses we got. So you can see that people like TimeLine a lot - but we are always struggling to keep going because after five years we still do not have any core funding.
We have applied for funding from lots of places over the past four years, but almost always we get the big NO, which is why we were so pleased to have won some help from Awards for All. Like all charities, we are very grateful to receive grant funding and donations to support our work. The support received from individuals is a big part of what keeps us going. If you are a TimeLine fan, please consider making a financial donation. As Tesco (which started in Hackney almost one hundred years ago but - we think very meanly - refused to offer support to TimeLine when we were researching their corporate history through people who still had memories of it) says - every little helps.
If you would like to make a donation, it is now very easy. Please just click here, and you will be able to make a donation online to TimeLine through a brilliant organisation called JustGiving. Thankyou!
