Frances Batty Shand (c.1815–1885) was an early charitable activist in Cardiff, Wales. Shand was born in about 1815,[1] the daughter of a Scottish plantation owner and his black Jamaican mistress.[2] She was sent to live in Elgin, Scotland in 1819, probably to live with an aunt. She remained unmarried.[1] In the mid 1800s[3] Shand came to Cardiff, where her brother John worked for the Rhymney Railway Company.[1] With the help of money inherited from her father, Shand founded the Association for Improving the Social and Working Conditions of the Blind[4] (which became Cardiff Institute for the Blind) in April 1865. The Association initially helped five blind men set up basket-making workshops.[3] Shand retired in 1877.[5] She died in Switzerland in 1885, though her body was returned to Cardiff for burial at Allensbank Cemetery.[1] She bequeathed money to the Institute to allow it to continue with financial security.[2] In 1953 it moved to a new purpose built four storey building on Newport Road, Cardiff, which was named Shand House in her honour in 1984.[5] Shand was the subject of an ITV television programme in 2013.[6] References1. ^1 2 3 {{cite web |title=African-Scottish families: Frances Batty Shand |url=http://www.abdn.ac.uk/slavery/5p4.htm |date=19 July 2013 |publisher=University of Aberdeen |accessdate=7 December 2014}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Shand, Frances Batty}}2. ^1 {{citation |last=Mortimer |first=Dic |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=_pkFBQAAQBAJ&pg=PT163 |publisher=Amberley Publishing |title= Cardiff: The Biography |chapter=5 - Adamsdown|year=2014|format=eBook |ISBN=978-1-4456-4251-2 |accessdate=7 December 2014}} 3. ^1 {{cite news|author=Julia McWatt |title=Cardiff Institute for the Blind set for new chapter as it moves home |url=http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/health/cardiff-institute-blind-set-new-2022704 |date=26 October 2012 |work=Wales Online |accessdate=7 December 2014}} 4. ^{{citation |editor=Purvis, June |editorlink = June Purvis|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=l-yOAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA219&lpg=PA219&dq=Frances+Batty+Shand&source=bl&ots=0AXIO7_KOM&sig=V2nMaev15emIGf0alv4ETq0Pkjs&hl=en&sa=X&ei=ip-EVJv2D8u2UcPHgdgP&ved=0CCMQ6AEwAjgK#v=onepage&q=Frances%20Batty%20Shand&f=false |publisher=University College of London Press |title= Women's History: Britain, 1850-1945: An Introduction |page=219 |year=1995|format= |ISBN=0-203-93015-0 |accessdate=7 December 2014}} 5. ^1 {{cite web |title=Notable dates |url=http://cibi.co.uk/about-us/notable-dates/ |date= |publisher=Cardiff Institute for the Blind |accessdate=7 December 2014}} 6. ^{{cite web |title=Fishlock's Wales: A Light in the Darkness |url=http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/health/cardiff-institute-blind-set-new-2022704 |date=19 July 2013 |publisher=ITV News |accessdate=7 December 2014}} 6 : 1810s births|1885 deaths|Welsh people of Jamaican descent|Welsh people of Scottish descent|Community activists|Founders of charities |
