One in seven adults in the UK managed to achieve the job they dreamed about when they were children, including one who said they became an astronaut, an NSPCC survey reveals today.
The survey, conducted by YouGov, found that the most popular childhood dream job – for one in ten adults in the UK – was to be a doctor or nurse, followed by footballer (9%), and teacher (7%). One person in the East Midlands said that their ambition was to be a chip shop owner. Nearly, a third of adults who wanted to be a medic achieved their childhood ambition. Others who got their dream job included teachers (27%), writers or journalists (9%), police officers (6%), and actors (5%). The survey results are revealed as the NSPCC unveils a new TV and digital campaign - Alfie the Astronaut – to highlight that when a child is free from abuse they are free to dream. At the heart of the campaign is a film about a boy called Alfie who dreams about becoming an astronaut. As we watch Alfie training at space camp he tells us how the NSPCC helped him and his mum recover from domestic violence. At the end of the film we see Alfie back in the real world, safe and happy, protected from future abuse. “NSPCC services help children just like Alfie to recover from domestic violence or other abuse. Every year, the NSPCC helps keep one million children safe from abuse and neglect, but we can only do this work with the support of the public as more than ninety per cent of our funding comes from voluntary donations. Liz Tinsley, service centre manager at the NSPCC Nottingham Service Centre said: “We know that children who have experienced abuse or neglect can be very badly affected by it. It quashes their hopes for the future and a child’s expectations for themselves become much lower than they might otherwise have been. Abuse or neglect can stop childhood in its tracks, forcing young people to grow up much too quickly. But the therapeutic work we do with children at the NSPCC’s Nottingham Service Centre aims to resolve some of the issues caused by abuse. It helps them feel like children again and encourages them to look at the future much more positively – helping them see that abuse does not define who they are, and that their dreams are still reachable.” There were some unusual childhood dream jobs, including eleven archaeologists, ten farmers, seven artists, six chefs, and four jockeys. And despite being barely out of the starting blocks of life two people said they had dreamed of becoming funeral directors when they were children. Among the one-off dream jobs were antique dealer, bus conductor, dog trainer, hovercraft captain, gamekeeper, magician, opera singer, spy, and shepherdess. About the NSPCC The NSPCC is the only children’s charity fighting to end child abuse in the UK and Channel Islands. Using voluntary donations, which make up more than 90 per cent of our funding, we help children who’ve been abused to rebuild their lives, we protect children at risk, and we find the best ways of preventing child abuse from ever happening. Our ChildLine service provides a safe, confidential place for children with no one else to turn to, whatever their worry, whenever they need help. Children can contact ChildLine 24 hours a day, 365 days a year on 0800 1111 or by visiting www.childline.org.uk

Super slimmer Lucy is Nottinghamshire’s and Derbyshire’s ‘Woman of the Year’! A Nottingham slimmer who says she feels like a new woman since losing 9st 7lbs has been named the Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire’s Slimming World Woman of the Year because of her inspiring weight loss.
Lucy Davies has gone from 18st 11½ lbs to 9st 4½ lbs in just thirteen months. Now she’s been chosen to represent the whole of Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire in the nationwide Slimming World Woman of the Year 2015 competition, which aims to find the UK and Ireland’s top female slimmer. Around one in four women in the UK and Ireland are severely overweight and at risk of suffering a range of health problems including diabetes, heart disease and cancer. Slimming World’s Woman of the Year competition recognises the achievements of women in making longterm healthy lifestyle changes for both themselves and their families. Lucy joined Slimming World in March 2015 after becoming increasingly unhappy with her size. She says: “I hadn’t been happy with my weight for some time and I found that through university and after graduating, I would avoid social events as I simply wasn’t happy. I then decided I had to do something about it but didn’t want to feel hungry or miserable (or both) by being on a diet. Then I heard Slimming World is completely different. I was so relieved that it indeed is. I never have to miss out and I don’t have to get hung up on weighing and measuring everything I eat. I don’t feel deprived and after losing nine and a half stone, I’m the slimmest – and the happiest – I’ve been in such a long time!” The twenty six year old follows Slimming World’s Food Optimising eating plan, which encourages slimmers to fill up on satisfying yet healthy everyday foods like fruit and veg, lean meat and fish, pasta, potatoes, rice and pulses without having to weigh or measure. She says: “My family and friends are all amazed how much I can eat and still lose weight. I still eat many of the same meals that I did before I started losing weight, like chillies, curries, etc. Now I just prepare and cook them differently – and they taste so much better. I’ve picked up lots of new healthy recipes from the other members at my Slimming World group, too. “I know a lot of people worry about joining a slimming club because they don’t know what to expect. They needn’t be afraid though. Right
from the first moment I walked into my Slimming World group I felt at home, the support and motivation I’ve received from my Consultant Kerry and the rest of the group has been brilliant,” adds Lucy. “When I started out I never dreamt I’d be able to achieve all that I have. I lost 7lbs in my first week and was blown away that the changes I’d made had such a big impact so quickly. As the weight started to come off and I began moving down dress sizes, I started to believe I could actually lose the weight and keep it off. I definitely don’t think I could have lost all this weight without them. Losing the weight has made such a huge difference – it’s changed my life. I’ve got so much more energy and I can do things now that I couldn’t before. My fitness has improved and I really enjoy being active now and go running on a regular basis. I’m more confident and I like the slim, happy, positive person I see in the mirror.” Now Lucy will go forward to the regional semi-finals of the competition, putting her in the top 50 nationwide, and in the running for the national title. The national Slimming World Woman of the Year 2015 will be announced in November and the winner will take home a £3,000 cash prize. Kerry McKenna who runs the Dunkirk group, says: “I’m so proud of Lucy. Not only does she look fabulous, she’s improved her health and is bursting with energy.”

Meet Phoenix FC - the latest team that has been sponsored by Breeze Magazine... Phoenix FC was founded in July 2015 and has been created by the coaches and families who once ran a number of teams under the Beeston Park Rangers Club but decided to spin out into their own club, as they want to be a more integral part of the local community with a focus to invest in the kid’s development and enjoyment of football and we are currently working towards becoming a charter standard club. “We are based in the middle of Chilwell, Nottingham at Inham Nook Recreation Ground just off Pearson Avenue training on Mondays 6-7pm during summer and Highfields, University Boulevard on Tuesdays 7-8pm during winter months, We really hope to work with the local community, local schools, groups and council to establish a long standing club who will form a central part of the community through teamwork and collaboration. We have two under 13 teams one playing Saturday and the other Sunday matches coached by Rich Ward, Wayne Jones and Dean Ross as well as an already formed under 8 team coached by Damian Baxter, Neil Stevens, John Cole and Lee Devine, we have a newly formed under 9s team coached by Nick Blainey and Aiden Hewes and a brand new under14’ team coming together currently as well as mini soccer school for 3-6 year olds coached by Kerry Ward. We are hoping to add more teams as and when we can so that we can offer opportunities to as many kids as possible so if you would like to coach a team please do let us know at info@phoenixfc.org Our Director of Performance and Deputy Chairman Richard Ward who coaches the U13’s and U14’s teams has been coaching youth football for many years and has a real focus on making sure kids develop through enjoying football “ I want the kids to go out there and have fun, being a part of a team they really learn how to help each other out and work together”. Working with him to make sure that we can do that is a fantastic group of parents who help run our club lead by our Chairman, and Richards brother in law so it’s a real family run club, Andrew Ward who says “we really want to the club to be available to as many of the kids as possible so they can enjoy themselves and make new friends as well as learning new skills, we are very luck to have local companies like the breeze sponsor one of the teams it really means a lot to us to have that kind of support” If you would like to know more you can find us at www.phoenixfc.org , email: info@phoenixfc.org Twitter @NottsPhoenixFc or on Facebook.

3 bedroom detached house offers around - ÂŁ499,000
Located in the St John's Grove conservation area Gladstone Lodge is an impeccably presented detached house that has been tastefully upgraded and extended and now combines a contemporary interior with aesthetic appeal of a red brick Victorian home.

The accommodation is versatile enough to suit a family or a couple. There are three double bedrooms as well as a fantastic open plan living room with twin doors opening to the garden and a high quality fitted kitchen and utility room. There is secure off road parking on a drive behind double gates. The location of the property allows for privacy on Newcastle Ave and takes advantage of the convenience of this exclusive area.

celebrations awards
Volunteers from Beeston were amongst those from across the county who were honoured at a special Awards Afternoon. The celebratory tea party was held by Girlguiding Nottinghamshire at Portland College in Mansfield and County Commissioner Kate Royse presented awards marking the exceptional achievements of some 60 members and supporters. Oak Leaf awards were presented to Beeston’s Christine Burton, Karen Anderson and Jenny Eyley in recognition of their outstanding commitment to local Guiding, whilst Helen Kirk was given the County Brooch and there was a special ‘Thanks’ badge for Kaye Ford in recognition of her work with the County Team. Local Queen’s Guide Bethan Howells was also congratulated. During the afternoon, Kate Royse presented long-service awards to 19 Notts women who have devoted a combined total of almost 700 years to Guiding, together with Oak Leaf awards to 13 Leaders and the Nottinghamshire Star to six non-uniformed volunteers. Five Queen’s Guide Awards were given special mention, whilst seven County brooches and six ‘Thanks’ badges were presented by Kate as a personal gesture of appreciation. The first five recipients of the county’s new ‘Peer Education’ award were also announced. ‘All our volunteers are amazing people and I continue to marvel at their enthusiasm, energy and commitment,’ said Kate Royse after the event. ‘But those celebrated this afternoon have given what I can only describe as exceptional service and it was a privilege to present them with these tokens of our esteem. I believe it’s vital to maintain girl-only spaces in which our young women can develop their potential, and yet it’s only through the support of volunteers like these that we can offer such opportunities to so many girls here in Nottinghamshire.’ Girlguiding Nottinghamshire currently has a membership of around 9,000 girls and young women across the county, including Rainbows (aged 5-7), Brownies (7-10), Guides (10-14), Rangers, Senior Section and Young Leaders (14-25). Adult supporters are essential if units are to keep open and enquiries about volunteering are always welcome: call county headquarters on 0115 987 7220, e-mail Kate Royse via countycommissioner@girlguidingnottinghamshire.org.uk or visit Girlguiding Nottinghamshire’s website at www.girlguidingnottinghamshire.org.uk

just say cheese ...smile
Primula Cheese and Make-A-Wish® UK are challenging the people of Nottingham to pass on positivity by spreading smiles. Giggle, laugh, smile, chuckle, chortle, or full on belly roar – however you show it, 91% of people from Nottingham say their mood improves when they’re smiled at with 84% saying they wish more people would do so more often, according to new research from Primula. Over a quarter (26%) of people from Nottingham surveyed by Primula Cheese as part of its Spread a Smile campaign, to support Make-AWish, say they rarely laugh or smile, those that do estimate they smile around 15 times a day. Primula is working with Make-A-Wish to raise enough money to make more children with life-threatening conditions smile this year through having their wishes granted – this positivity gives Make-A-Wish children and their families the strength to get through an incredibly difficult time. Throughout October and November, Primula will donate 20% of the profits from the sale of its special ‘Just Say Cheese’ tubes sold to Make-A-Wish. “It’s true what they say, when you smile the world smiles back,” said TV presenter and broadcaster Angellica Bell who is famous for her smiles and positive outlook. “A simple smile can make a difference to our day-to-day lives, whether lifting our own mood or making someone we see feel better. Smiling raises your spirits and makes other people happy - it's a very powerful expression and, like any habit, it gets much easier with practice. “The survey overall showed 89% of adults agree a child smiling puts a smile on their face and that 90% of UK adults wish people smiled more in public, so our mission is to spread smiles to other people we see, whether it’s friends, family or even a stranger - we want to make the whole country smile.” Joanne Micklewright is Head of Wishgranting at Make-A-Wish: “Laughter really is the best medicine. A simple smile can make someone feel better when they’re unwell and we’re working with Primula to help raise enough money to spread this positivity by granting magical wishes to more children and young people fighting life-threatening conditions. “Each year we aim to grant 1,000 wishes to help provide relief from medical appointments or hospital treatment and help both the wish child and their family feel more positive. Through smiling with us this World Smile Day we are raising awareness of our charity and our aim to grant even more wishes in the future.” Special ‘Just Say Cheese’ tubes are on sale in selected Asda, Morrisons, Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Co-op, Kerry Foods and selected smaller independent stores. The British public is also being challenged to#spreadasmile on social media by sharing this video http://bit.ly/justsaycheese or signing up to the Spread a Smile World Smile Day Thunderclap https://www.thunderclap.it/projects/31834-spreadasmile

Do you know how to protect your pet during fireworks season? Help is available. Fireworks season is a worrying time for pets who can get very distressed by the bangs and flashes. Every year many pets go missing or injure themselves as a result. It can also be an expensive time with dogs digging holes in the carpet or chewing the furniture to distract themselves from their fear. At Chuchcroft Vets, senior vet George says “We hate to think of all these terrified dogs and cats. Owners should be aware that there are a number of ways in which they can make fireworks less of a problem for their pets. By rearranging the house in a certain way and using gentle but effective medicines to alleviate fear, pets (and their owners) can be helped to have a much less stressful time.” Churchcroft Vets are offering FREE consultations to help fireworks fear and Churchcroft are also holding an open day to show everyone how you can set up a dog or cat safe area and the best way to use effective treatments. This is open to everyone and George will be available to discuss your pet’s specific needs. The open day is on Saturday October 17th from 9am to 4pm. You can take your furry friend along to the open day or you can request a FREE fireworks fear consultation at any time in October. Why not make sure that you are doing the most you can for your pet? Call Churchcroft on 0115 922 4855 for your free consultation or pop along on Saturday 17th of October and learn how you can help your pet through the fireworks.

Talk on Unseen India Raises £1500 to Continue Good Work The generosity of the people of Long Eaton has ensured that the great work by a local Rotarian can continue. Rotarian Val Leivers gave an illustrated talk at The Chatsworth Centre, Long Eaton on her work with some of the poorest people in India. Val and her Rotarian husband Terry, have been visiting India for many years to provide help where it is needed most. With generous donations from Rotary events, they have provided wells for clean drinking water and much needed equipment in local schools as well as many other worthy projects. The inspiring talk Val gave in Long Eaton was sponsored by The Rotary Club of Long Eaton Dawnbreakers and raised nearly £1500 in donations. President of Dawnbreakers, Linda Jenkins said” Val is an inspiring lady and epitomises everything that Rotary stands for.” The picture shows Val Leivers ( centre ) with husband Terry, President Linda Jenkins ( far right) and some members of Dawnbreakers.

breezegardening After a very welcome sunny spell in early autumn we can start to imagine the kind of temperature and weather we are likely to encounter before long. This is a good time to think about shelter in your garden. And important part of plant care is the avoidance of stress upon the plant - it is quite simply the physical effects of punishing weather that can hold growths back and kill plants outright in some instances. Consider why plants die when under too much external stress: the basic process of plant death due to cold/freezing conditions are that the water within the plant can freeze and then this frozen water expands and ruptures the cells which leads to the plant being unable to function and thus it begins to decompose as cell life is extinguished, turning plant material black as it does so. One thing to note is that not all plants do die off in the cold! Native plants to this country are totally adapted to our seasons. Practical ways to shelter plants Insulation: Bubble wrap, sack cloth or fleece can be wrapped around the pot of any large container plant. Lift the pot off the ground using either wooden decking panels (which can be
bought ready made) or ceramic pot supports. The idea is to get the plants just that bit off the frost level. Stems and leaves: the normal material in use today is the synthetic fleece which can be bought in packets or off the roll for larger plants. Even a basic shelter which provides cover from above can really help your plant’s chances of survival through tough weather. Better still bring them in to a greenhouse or conservatory. If you are able to add some sort of base level of heat, to simply protect against the very lowest temperatures, then all the better. A fence or hedge helps against any prevailing wind (usually from the North). The ‘shadow’ of protection that these afford falls quite some distance. With fences try the staggered paling arrangement to slow the wind rather than block it as it just flows over the top if totally blocked. Don’t over-water In general it is usually not necessary to water plants so much in winter unless they are true house plants (i.e in a fully heated environment to around 20c - and even then
less watering is required in winter). In the cold plants tend to slow down and simply require less water & nutrients. Which plants need protecting? If you know the species of your plant then you can research which country it originated from and it can be surprising that even something as popular as the palm tree can grow in both hot climates and very cold ones - depending on the species. This is also worth bearing in mind when you next choose a plant for your garden or container. Even amongst so called ‘outdoor plants’ there can be quite a wide variation in survivability here in the UK. It’s one good reason to get some solid advice from a professional landscaper or garden supplier if you are in any doubt about a specific type of plant. Don’t forget that basic shelter such as a fence or thick hedge can also boost survival chances - we have covered this previously. As always - prepare, using the calmer times now to be ready for harder weather! continued....

breeze gardening Other jobs to do in the winter garden Cleaning our pots - not exactly thrilling is it? We tend to put it off, at least until we actually need to do it at sowing time! So come on, scrub those pots with a stiff brush in warm water and household detergent to get rid of the encrusted dirt. This cleanliness now will really help when we get going again next spring so do make the time. Soak in a garden disinfectant to finish the process to get rid of the things you can’t see. Leave them to soak for several days to be sure all spores are killed. Unwashed pots might need to be soaked for several weeks to let disinfectant penetrate the grime. Rinse well before use, obviously. If you are intending planting out seeds next year (were you on our journey when we covered building your own coldframe or greenhouse?) then now is the time to browse the seed catalogues and deciding which ones to try your hand at. It’s a nice thing to sit planning ahead and learning, ready for next years’ blossoms to brighten our lives. Until then we have lots to enjoy!

breeze appeal CHICKS is a national children’s charity providing free respite breaks to disadvantaged children from all over the UK. The charity was founded in 1992, and 23 years later has two retreats currently fully operational, one in Devon and another in Cornwall. At the end of 2014, the charity purchased a third retreat in Derbyshire that is currently in the process of being renovated. CHICKS gives children an opportunity to try new things and to have a break away from their often difficult home lives. Whilst on a break, the children get the opportunity to try new experiences, such as horse-riding, swimming and rock climbing. However it is often the simple activities that have a big impact on the children, such as toasting marshmallows around the campfire. The breaks allow them to make precious childhood memories, feel valued and make new friends. An incredible 96% of the children who come on CHICKS’ break leave with increased self-confidence and this can have a huge impact on their lives when they return home. The reasons children come to CHICKS are varied. Some are living in poverty; some are bereaved, neglected or abused, whilst others live with the exhausting responsibility of being a young carer for a sick or disabled relative. The one thing they all have in common is that they are in desperate need of a break away from home. The children are referred to us, and referrals can be made by anyone who works with children in a professional capacity. CHICKS currently supports over 1,200 children every year, and hopes to increase this to 1,600 in 2016 with the opening of its newest retreat in Derbyshire, ‘Daleside’. The opening of Daleside not only means that CHICKS will be able help more children, but will also makes the charity’s services more accessible to children living in the Midlands and the North of the UK. The Daleside retreat is set in 62 acres of beautiful countryside, offering plenty of space for the children to run free in a safe environment. The work that is currently being carried out on the property will turn old barns into covered play areas and fields into football pitches and wild flower meadows. The existing buildings on the site are being converted into suitable accommodation for the children, volunteers and staff who will be attending breaks. The children who leave CHICKS are never forgotten about – they leave with a ‘memory bag’ which contains small mementos of their stay and photos of their break, as well as a freepost envelope so that the child can continue to stay in touch with CHICKS. Every letter is replied to with a handwritten message and another freepost envelope; this correspondence can often be the only support they receive and can carry on as long as the child wants or needs. There are plenty of ways that you can work with CHICKS to help make a difference in the lives of disadvantaged young people. For more information about volunteering, donating, fundraising or even referring a child, visit www.chicks.org or email info@chicks.org.uk.

ARIES [March 21st-April 20th] An interesting and productive month ahead. Your sharp wit saves the day when things appear to go wrong, but all works out in the end. Loved ones support you when a misunderstanding occurs. Being inquisitive pays off when least expected bringing new and beneficial ideas to the fore. Busy as ever you decide to change routine.
CANCER [June 22nd-July23rd] October brings renewed energy with positivity for you to evaluate your life and make some moderate changes which you feel have been needed for some time. Sorting matters out either at work or with family prove worthwhile. Any temptations to overspend are put on one side for a short time. Social life takes a turn for the better.
LIBRA [Sept 24th-October 22nd] You don’t know whether you are on your head or your heels half the month, with too much to do and sort out. But you soon get into gear making life much easier. Changes that you feel are vital wont please everyone. Careful not to overspend will prove difficult but you do your best to keep your head above water. Mislaying of keys likely
TAURUS [April 21st –May 20th] During October you discover just where it is you stand with someone you haven’t always agreed with. Keeping a distance on a situation and an eye on things proves you were right in the first place. Making firm arrangements and plans for the future holds you in good stead with loved ones.
LEO [July 24th-August 23rd] Any signs of depleted energy on your part is soon rectified and your back on form. With added responsibility plans are soon put into place to make life easier. Offers of jobs may well come in two s when least expected. Younger members of the family prove their worth and give a helping hand. News from afar raises some eyebrows. VIRGO [August 24th-Sept 23rd] A challenging time approaches but where you have success. A change of heart puts you in good stead with those you love accommodating and assisting when needed. Out and about a little more than normal you meet up with someone special enjoying what the day brings.
SCORPIO [Oct 23rd-Nov 22nd] You’re not the kind of person to stay down for long and for those having experienced some difficulties you soon have the right attitude with positive outlook on life to gain success. Having been the driving force behind many others ambitions you sit back with pride. Social invitations accepted you let your hair down and enjoy life fully.
AQUARIUS [Jan 21st-Feb 19th] Putting your trust in others may have been a mistake and catching up on what they should and didn’t do could well cost you in time of putting things right. A busy October brings benefits some to which you didn’t expect. Changing lifestyles and joining health clubs or something of interest brings a new lease of life socially.
SAGITTARIUS [Nov 23rd-Dec 22nd] October brings changes for the better in one area of your life. Looking after your own interests pays off long term. Not always agreeing with loved ones you make a point and stick by it. With a short break not too far away there is plenty to do. Driven by your own enthusiasm you succeed in something close to your heart. Happy times.
PISCES [Feb 20th-March 20th] Others embrace enjoying what becomes yours in terms of achievements. Having a good old sort out in and around the home brings satisfaction. Also realising whom your true friends really are. Helping those in times of need is much appreciated. Opening up a new chapter in your life becomes exciting with a new confidant you.
GEMINI [May 21st-June 21st] Any concerns or matters of the heart are dealt with accordingly making life easier all round. Supporting someone close has its moments when jealousy from another rears its head. Changing direction in one area of your life looks promising long term with plans discussed for the future. Meeting up with family or friends makes a day special.
breezemagazine 42
CAPRICORN [Dec 23rd-Jan20th] This month appears to become a more settled one in terms of changes already made. Your love life could well provide you with some exciting moments and being taken to places where memories are kept for safekeeping.
