A share of a pensioner’s Christmas ‘Bonus’<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

During the Miners\u2019 Strike in December 1984, the Thatcher government paid pensioners the same \u00a310 Christmas heating bonus they had received since 1972. A nationwide appeal, in several national newspapers, invited pensioners to give up their bonus in support of the striking miners. Hundreds of pounds worth of bonuses were donated to support this cause. A share of a pensioner’s Christmas ‘Bonus’<\/a><\/em>\u00a0<\/a>is a collaborative project exploring the remarkable acts of generosity through which many children of miners and their families were able to celebrate Christmas that year.<\/p>\n

Asunder<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Asunder<\/em><\/a>\u00a0tells the story of what happened to an English town during the First World War, with almost all of its men fighting abroad and its women and children left behind. Asunder has a soundtrack composed by Sunderland\u2019s Mercury-nominated Field Music and Newcastle\u2019s Warm Digits, performed with the Royal Northern Sinfonia and The Cornshed Sisters. The narration for the film is voiced by journalist Kate Adie, with the actor Alun Armstrong as the voice of the Sunderland Daily Echo and Shipping Gazette.
