PICNIC IN THE

Picnic in the Park

The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee is just around the corner and if you haven’t got any plans yet for the long weekend, why not head down to West Park, Goole, to celebrate with the community!

This year’s ‘Picnic In The Park’ is taking place at West Park, Goole on Sunday 5th June.

Everyone is encouraged to grab their picnic blanket, flags and bunting and join together for a traditional and fun celebration of her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee! We had a chat with Jessica Sharp who is involved with organising the event to find out more. Jessica said: “Picnic in the Park is a charity event that is a great day out for family and friends. This year’s picnic also falls on the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee weekend. “This years picnic has a “Do it for Yorkshire” grant from the East Riding of Yorkshire Council to help cover costs for the hire of the park, electricity costs, publicity and decorations. “The event will be raising money for the Pulmonary Fibrosis Trust who provide personal support to people affected by Pulmonary Fibrosis, a very debilitating and life-limiting illness. I became an ambassador for the charity after losing my uncle to Pulmonary Fibrosis in 2014.”

Where did the idea of Picnic in the Park come from?

My uncle was a big fan of West Park, we wanted to celebrate his life by doing something for the community as he was well-known to help others. This is the sixth picnic after a two year break due to the pandemic. My aunt recently passed away who also had Pulmonary Fibrosis, she would come to every picnic event.

What is involved on the day?

We have live music on the bandstand by local artists, fairground rides for the kids. Donkey rides will also be available as well as a choice of popular food outlets based in the community, including West Park café who will be selling Jubilee-themed pack-up boxes for the kids. There will be stalls held by local businesses and other charities. The other charities include: Castaway, Cystic Fibrosis Trust, The Green Team, Together for Short Lives, Unique Friends, Pastures, Linbee Dog Rehoming, Crysalis – Prevention of Men’s Suicide, Helping Others, The Moorlands, Andy’s Man Club and Friends of Oakhill.

So, keep your diary free for Sunday 5th June and lets all help raise money for the Pulmonary Fibrosis Trust.

Property expert David Leake of Housesetc talks to us about how property is moving through the market at a record pace due to vast buyer demand

THE CURRENT MARKET IS MOVING AT PACE!

The typical time on the market for unsold property in England and Wales has plummeted to just an average 55 days, 31 days less than in April 2021 and the lowest such figure in the history of this Index.

Consequently, asking prices across England and Wales rose a further 0.9% overall in March, while the average price in Yorkshire jumped a massive 1.7%. The total stock of property for sale in England and Wales remains extremely low despite a small nudge up again for the third consecutive month. Monetary inflation is high and climbing, thereby making real home price growth progressively more negative despite the apparent high nominal growth. Marginally fewer vendors entered the UK market last month compared to April 2021 (-3%), although there were regional differences. The biggest fall was in London (-18%) while the biggest rise by far was the North East with a 14% increase in new listings year-on-year. The South West property market now leads in annualised regional price growth (+9.6%), narrowly ahead of the East Midlands (+9.5%). Only these two regions show growth above the latest RPI (excluding housing) inflation figure.

Gemini Libra

(21st May-20th June) You have not connected with your family much this past month, set aside some time to visit them and check on their health and wellbeing.

Pisces

(19th Feb-20th March) Be careful with your spending this month, blowing all your money at the start and having none left for the rest of the month is not wise.

Aries

(21st March-19th April) A huge, dramatic change is about to happen in your life in the upcoming weeks. You will need to remain calm and not rush into a big decision.

Taurus

(20th April-20th May) A memory from the past will begin to keep you awake at night. However, don’t panic, revisiting the past can sometimes give you the closure you need.

This month, Jobcentre Goole talks to us about how you may be at risk of exploitation and what the signs to look out for are.

Modern Slavery

• Have you been approached by strangers offering food, alcohol, drugs and/or shelter?

• Have you been offered work that sounds too good to be true?

• Are you working for, or have you been offered work, for little or no wages? • Has someone taken your personal belongings or documents?

• Are you being forced to engage in criminal or sexual activity? • Have you noticed people suddenly disappearing from the streets?

Call the 24/7 Modern Slavery Helpline on 08000 121 700 if you have concerns about exploitation.

The Facts:

• Exploiters often try to recruit people at day centres, night shelters and at soup runs.

• Exploiters will promise cash-in-hand work, alcohol, drugs, and accommodation which usually turn out to be false. They will then use different methods to prevent someone from escaping or reporting to the police. • You are at a higher risk if you are offered work in hand car washes, agriculture work, factory work and/or construction.

• If you are being forced to engage in criminal or sexual activity, this is also exploitation.

Think you might be being exploited?

• Speak to a key/support worker or someone from a recognised/registered homeless charity. • Call the police on 101 (request to speak to the modern slavery unit) or report anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

• If you prefer, report your concerns to the independent and confidential, charity-run 24-hour Modern Slavery Helpline on 08000 121 700. The helpline is available in over 200 languages. • Always call 999 if you or someone you know is in immediate danger.

Suspect an exploiter?

• NEVER approach or engage with them.

• Write down any car/van licence number plates and a description of what they look like.

• Speak to a key/support worker or someone from a recognised/registered homeless charity. • Call the police on 101 (ask to speak to the modern slavery unit) or call 999 in an emergency.
