As part of our annual Dartford Living tradition, instead of sending Christmas cards last month, made a donation to a fantastic charity. You can find out more about them below
In 2015 Emily and Colin Champion’s 6-month-old daughter, Imogen, suddenly became seriously ill and was taken to the Intensive Care Unit at King’s College Hospital in Camberwell, where doctors managed to save her life. For the next 16 months, Imogen received fantastic care as an out-patient at King’s College Hospital, and she appeared to make great progress.
Sadly, in June 2016, Imogen collapsed at home and died, despite the paramedics’ best efforts. After Imogen died, her parents raised money for King’s College Hospital as a thank you for all their treatment and support and to provide the paediatric wards with anything they needed. They decided to set up their own charity,
The Little Miss Champion Trust was set up in 2021 in honour of their little daughter to help the paediatric patients in as many hospitals as they can. They have
refurbished flats near hospitals that parents use so that they can be near their poorly child, refurbished a therapy room, redecorated parent bedrooms in the Intensive Care Unit and bought toys and resources for Willow Ward in Darent Valley Hospital.
Every year they deliver Christmas and Easter gifts to children in local hospitals to bring a little happiness to the children, while also trying to keep the children occupied while in bed, sometimes for long periods of time. The Little Miss Champion Trust has just started to support the Queen Elizabeth Hospital and have provided new sensory toys, eight cot mobiles, 20 new mugs and cutlery for the parents’ room and toiletries for parents who arrive at the hospital and need to stay without warning.
The family work all year round to raise funds to continue their charity work, helping as many hospitals as they can.

On Friday, 6th December 2024, at the Hawley Pavillion on Main Road, Sutton at Hone and Hawley Parish Council held their 130th anniversary celebration.
During the event, guests were able to enjoy drinks and refreshments, and there was a small, curated exhibition of old maps of Sutton at Hone and Hawley, old photographs and documents, and artefacts from the parish council archives; the old Sutton at Hone Burial Board paper stamp from the late 1880s, 1928 Minute book and an allotment trophy, last presented in the early 1990s. I also chose to wear the special Parish Council medallion, made by the late Paddy Mills in 1988, incredibly crafted in silver and enamel.
As part of the evening, talks were given by three former Parish Councillors:
Pat Coleman, first elected to the Borough Council in 1976, represented Sutton-at-Hone & Hawley ward until standing down in May 2019.
Stephen DeWinton was parish councillor from 1999 to 2003 and from 2006 to 2014 with 3 years as chair. Stephen was co-author with Barbara Reed of “A Parish Remembered, Sutton at Hone & Hawley”, published in 1994 to mark the centenary of the founding of the Parish Council in 1894.
Chris Armstrong served as a Parish Councillor for 16 years, with 6 years as Chair. Everyone discussed their time as a Parish councillor, sharing the challenges and fond memories of village life.
The evening also saw the official launch of the new village book ‘Then and Now’, highlighting village life of old and new businesses and the development of the parish. Copies are available to purchase at Sutton at Hone Library. Please speak to Councillor Krisha White.
On behalf of all of the Sutton at Hone and Hawley Parish Councillors, and as Vice Chair, I wish to thank everyone who attended the event, seeing many faces, old and new. Special thanks to Pat, Stephen and Chris for the interesting talks and Debby Ebanks at Hawley Pavillion.
There are lots of sports club’s and teams in Dartford. Going forward we will be bringing you regular news, results and fixtures from these clubs but first lets introduce you to some of the teams.
Dartford Sharks Basketball Club:
A long running basketball club that has roots in the community since it was founded in 1948 having also had the involvement of Mick Jagger’s father (Joe Jagger) in the clubs early years.
Dartford Basketball Club is a voluntary run, non-profit making diverse club that has a management committee of 15 members. They currently have two senior men’s teams, a vet’s team, a women’s team and a junior programme with 80 juniors across 4 age groups (U12,U14,U16,U18). The senior men’s teams play in the Medway league, with the women representing Dartford in the East Kent league and the juniors competing in the Kent league.
The total club membership is currently 170 members including 12 coaches.
Their social media handles are Instagram and TikTok: @dartfordsharks
Tony Durey and Anoushka Johnson founded the club, Central Park Athletics, in November 2017. They were members of the Dartford Harriers Athletics Club which has a waiting list of over 200 people wanting to engage in athletics.
They are affiliated to their governing body, England Athletics, and within their first three years built up a membership of just over 400. They focused on social running for people within the borough of Dartford, of all ages and abilities, in a friendly and non intimidating manner.
The close relationship they have with parkrun, meant that they offered the “next step” for parkrunners to start their athletics journey and many have gone on to try track running and even field events, such as shot put, javelin and high jump.
The COVID years hit the club hard and it was tough to survive but they powered through it and are now stronger than ever. They continue to grow by offering very low membership fees and even offer a hardship fund so no one is excluded from athletics for financial reasons.
The club's ethos of promoting athletics to a wider audience remains their goal. They will never turn anyone away. All they ask for is that the members enjoy athletics and do their best and the club will support them.

Communication can be a challenge for people living with dementia, presenting in many ways such as finding it difficult to remember the right word, becoming distracted and losing train of thought, not being able to express their emotions, change in ability to read and write and sensory problems with seeing or hearing. Each person may experience different communication difficulties throughout their experience of dementia.
Here’s some of our top tips on how you can be supportive:
- Speak slowly and clearly, with simple and uncomplicated language.
- Shorten sentences, don’t give too much information or choices.
- Act out what you are saying, use gestures, body language and facial expressions to help the person connect and understand context.
- Utilise pictures to help explain what you are saying.
- Timetables and dementia clocks can help explain

Can you tell us a bit about your journey into chess? What led you to start Dartford Junior Chess Club?
I started playing chess when I was 6 years old, and in my early years, I had some great success, winning a couple of national competitions. However, once I began my professional career outside of chess, I stepped away from the game for over 20 years. The passion for chess never left me, though, and I always wanted to stay connected to it in some way.
When I realised there was an adult chess club in Dartford but no structured chess teaching for younger players, I felt there was a real need for it. I decided to start Dartford Junior Chess Club to fill that gap, and my goal was simple: to introduce more children to the game and help build a stronger chess community in our town.
What is your coaching philosophy when working with junior players?
As a chess teacher, my coaching philosophy when working with junior players centres around fostering
both skill development and a genuine love for the game. I believe in teaching strong fundamentals, like opening principles, tactics, and endgame strategies, while also encouraging creativity and independent thinking. It’s important that young players not only learn the technical side of chess but also develop critical thinking, patience, and resilience through the game.
I strive to create a supportive and engaging environment where kids can grow at their own pace. While competition is important, I focus on building confidence and teaching them how to learn from mistakes, understanding that every game, win or lose, is a learning opportunity.
Could you describe a typical training session at Dartford Junior Chess Club?
A typical training session at Dartford Junior Chess Club starts with a chess puzzle to engage the players’ minds right from the beginning. This not only warms them up but also sharpens their problem-solving skills. After the puzzle, we move into a formal lesson where we focus on specific aspects of the game, whether it’s openings, tactics, or endgame strategies. Once the lesson is complete, the juniors get the opportunity to put what they’ve learned into practice by playing chess games against each other. This combination of puzzle-solving, structured learning, and practical play helps them build both their skills and confidence.
How do you tailor your training approach for players of different skill levels, from beginners to more advanced juniors?
I tailor my training approach by assessing each player’s current skill level and designing lessons that meet their needs. For beginners, I focus on the basics—how the pieces move, fundamental strategies like controlling the centre, and simple tactics such as forks and pins. The goal is to build a strong foundation and ensure they feel confident with the rules and key concepts.
For more advanced juniors, I introduce complex tactics, deeper opening theories, and endgame techniques. I also encourage them to analyse their games to understand their mistakes and improve their decision-making. Advanced players often work on
more challenging puzzles and study famous games to sharpen their strategic thinking.
Throughout, I ensure each player progresses at their own pace, offering guidance and challenges that match their level.
How do you integrate modern chess tools, like online platforms and AI, into your coaching?
Dartford Junior Chess Club has an online team that participates in online competitions, which allows our players to gain more experience and face opponents from different regions. Additionally, we have an online system where students can access digital versions of the lessons we’ve covered during training. This system also includes analysis of their games, providing them with detailed insights into their strengths and areas for improvement. These tools not only make learning more accessible but also help students track their progress and continue developing their skills outside of in-person sessions.
What are your goals for Dartford Junior Chess Club in the next few years?
The primary goal for the club is to cultivate a greater love for the game of chess in Dartford and the surrounding areas. We want to introduce more young players to the game and help them appreciate both the fun and the intellectual challenge it offers. While fostering a strong chess community is our top priority, we also have competitive ambitions. Winning one of the local leagues would be a fantastic achievement, and we’re working hard to develop the skills of our players to reach that goal.
In your experience, how does playing chess benefit young players beyond the game itself? Do you see it improving their cognitive or social skills?
From working with young players, I’ve seen that playing chess offers numerous benefits that extend well beyond the game itself. Cognitively, chess enhances critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and strategic planning. It teaches players to think several moves ahead,
evaluate different scenarios, and make decisions based on analysis, which can translate into better performance in academic subjects and everyday life.
Socially, chess fosters important skills such as patience, sportsmanship, and respect for opponents. Playing in a club environment allows young players to interact with peers, build friendships, and learn how to handle both victories and defeats gracefully. It encourages communication and teamwork, especially when participating in group activities or team competitions. Overall, the skills learned through chess contribute to a well-rounded development that benefits children in various aspects of their lives.
What role do parents play in supporting young chess players, and how do you engage with them as part of your coaching process?
Parents play a crucial role in supporting young chess players, and their involvement can significantly enhance a child’s experience and development in the game. They provide encouragement, help facilitate practice at home, and often serve as a source of motivation during competitions.
As part of my coaching process, I actively engage with parents through regular communication, updating them on their child’s progress and discussing ways they can support their learning. I encourage parents to participate in club activities and events, fostering a community where they can share experiences and tips with each other.
What advice would you give to young aspiring chess players who want to take their game to the next level?
First, practice regularly. Playing as much as possible, whether in club settings, online, or with friends, will help you develop your skills and build confidence. Try to analyse your games afterward, especially your losses, to learn from your mistakes.

With the tax year end (5 April) on the horizon, taking action now may give you the opportunity to take advantage of any remaining reliefs, allowances and exemptions. These tips should help you…
Review Your PAYE Tax Code
Ensure your tax code is correct to avoid overpaying or underpaying HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC). Multiple employers or pension providers may result in more than one tax code.
Transfer Part of Your Personal Allowance
Married couples and registered civil partners can transfer 10% of their personal allowance (£1,260 for 2024/25) to each other, provided the recipient does not pay tax at a rate higher than the basic rate of 20%.
Contribute Up to £9,000 into Your Child’s Junior ISA
Junior ISAs allow tax-free growth on investments until your child turns 18, when the funds can either be withdrawn or rolled over into an adult ISA. Contributions from relatives and friends are permitted, up to the £9,000 limit for 2024/25.
Tax-Free Savings and Dividend Allowances
For 2024/25, basic rate taxpayers can earn up to £1,000 in savings income tax-free, while higher rate taxpayers have a £500 exemption. The tax-free dividend allowance is £1,000. Couples can optimise their income to fully utilise these allowances.
Individual Savings Accounts (ISAs)
You can invest up to £20,000 in ISAs for 2024/25. Options include Cash ISAs, Stocks & Shares ISAs, and Innovative Finance ISAs. Lifetime ISAs allow up to £4,000 for those aged 18-39. All gains and income within ISAs are tax-free.
Utilise Any Capital Losses
Offset capital losses against gains within the same tax year before applying the capital gains tax exemption (£6,000 for 2024/25). Consider deferring sales that will
generate losses to the next tax year or realizing more gains in the current year.
Maximise Pension Contributions
For 2024/25, the annual allowance is £60,000. To avoid an annual allowance tax charge, ensure your contributions and those from your employer do not exceed this limit. You can carry forward unused allowances from the past three years, but personal contributions are capped at 100% of your earnings. Different rules apply if you’ve accessed your pension flexibly or if your income plus employer contributions exceed £260,000.
Pay Pension Contributions to Save NICs
Employer contributions to your pension scheme are exempt from National Insurance Contributions (NICs), saving both you and your employer money. Arrange salary sacrifice agreements in writing before entitlement to salary or bonus.

Blood pressure is a measurement of the force required to push blood around your body. When we measure blood pressure, we get two numbers. The top number is the systolic blood pressure, which is the highest your blood pressure gets when the heart beats pushing blood around your body. The bottom number is your diastolic blood pressure, which is the pressure as your heart relaxes between beats.
Maintaining a healthy blood pressure is essential for your overall health and prevention of complications. Ideally, your blood pressure should be between 90/60 and 120/80. High blood pressure (hypertension) is anything above 140/90, which is when there is an increased risk of complications. Many things can affect your blood pressure reading, from when you last ate, the temperature, exercise and whether you are stressed.
Why do we worry about high blood pressure?
If your blood pressure is high, that means that there is extra stress on your blood vessels and your heart has to work harder to pump blood around the body. Your blood vessels, which are normally stretchy, become stiff or narrow. This makes it easier for fatty material (atheroma) to build up, narrowing them further. This can cause other problems.
• High blood pressure plays a part in 50% of strokes and heart attacks. High blood pressure is the biggest risk factor for stroke.
• The additional strain on the heart caused by high blood pressure can lead to heart failure over time, where the pumping action of the heart is reduced.
• Studies have shown that people aged 40-64 who have high blood pressure are more likely to develop vascular dementia.
• More than half of people with chronic kidney disease have high blood pressure.
• High blood pressure can also affect the blood vessels at the back of your eye (retina), making them narrow and leaky, which can cause problems with your eyesight. It is also related to other eye problems that can affect your vision including blockage of small arteries and veins.
• Damage to blood vessels means that men with hypertension are twice as likely to develop erectile dys-
function.
• Having untreated high blood pressure can cause weakening of the artery walls over time, causing an aneurysm. If these burst, it can cause life threatening internal bleeding.
This is why your GP surgery may contact you to check your blood pressure if you are over 40.
Blood pressure – the silent killer
Around 30% of the population have high blood pressure but many aren’t aware. High blood pressure rarely has symptoms, so the only way you will know is to have your blood pressure checked. Many community pharmacies around Dartford offer free blood pressure tests. Some surgeries have a blood pressure pod in their reception areas for patients to use. You can also use a friend or relatives blood pressure machine for a quick check.
If your blood pressure is raised, but not dangerously high (180/110), we will request some blood tests to see how your kidneys are working and to check for other risk factors such as diabetes and high cholesterol. We may start you on medication to bring down your blood pressure and we will monitor this with blood pressure checks and blood tests at least yearly.
What can I do?
Having a healthy lifestyle is important. Being active, maintaining a healthy weight and stopping smoking are important. Follow a balanced diet with five portions of fruit or veg a day, reduce your salt and saturated fat intake. Cut back on alcohol and make sure you get enough sleep.
If your blood pressure is high, we can help with medication to bring it down. Make sure you attend for regular blood pressure checks and blood tests.

Welcome to Senior Snippets: the monthly advisory column with older members of our community in mind, brought to you by Christina Uppenkamp of Home Instead Dartford.
The Christmas season is a wonderful period for spending quality time with the family. It’s a time when we can be together with ageing relatives for longer than usual, often with them coming to stay for a few days.
These visits sometimes spark concerns amongst family members who spot signs of decline in health, cognitive ability or general disposition; indicating that they may need some support to keep them safe and well.
Mum is perhaps more forgetful than last time you visited and is repeating stories. Dad has lost weight and is off his food. A parent living on their own complains of being lonely and not getting out to see friends as often.
These are some of the more obvious signs of decline, but what are the more subtle changes that family members should look out for?
• House is untidy, unclean or both
• Post remains unopened
• A bruise on an arm or leg indicating a fall
• Food in fridge well past sell-by date
• Don’t recognise names in Christmas cards
• Resist social situations
It’s observations like these that trigger a search for support (after all prevention is better than cure), and why home care companies like Home Instead, see a significant spike in enquiries at this time of year.
We are always on the lookout for caring and compassionate individuals to join our Care Professional team so that we can support more local individuals and families.
We’d love to hear from you if you think you can help or if you would like to make a suggestion for a future topic.

Hello again, welcome to another edition of Walking With The Darts, a monthly update on all things related to Dartford FC, courtesy of Dartford Living Magazine.
Firstly, on behalf of Dartford Living Magazine, Dartford FC, and Dartford FC Women, I’d like to begin by wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Since I last wrote in these pages, Dartford FC has been on an excellent unbeaten run in the Isthmian Premier League. With four victories and four draws in the last eight league games, the Darts have climbed up the table and are now fully in the hunt for the playoff places.
Our home form has been exceptional since the goalless draw with high-flying Cray Valley PM at the beginning of November. Ady Pennock’s team has played three games which they’ve won, scoring eight and conceding just the once. Those three wins have been accompanied by three draws away from home, and an excellent 3-0 win at Hastings United on our last road trip.
There have been many players amongst the goals this season, but a special mention must go out to our Academy Graduates, Olly Box and George Whitefield. Both have been scoring on a regular basis during recent games, which is a huge testament to our Academy and coaching team.
With this duo, together with other young players, such as Sam Odaudu, Luther Williams, Jeremiah Pinder, and Denzelle Olopade, the future is certainly looking bright for the team. But we mustn’t forget to praise the other young players, as well as the more seasoned members of the squad. All have been working extremely hard, both on and off the pitch, and we’re now seeing the rewards as the team gels.
At the time of writing Ade Yussuf has returned to Hornchurch, while Ady Pennock has brought in two midfielders on loan in the form of Louis Dunne (from
Chelmsford City) and Hayden Bullas (from Leyton Orient).
Moving on, Connor Dymond and Martin McCarthy’s Dartford FC Women side are flying high at the moment. However, due to the adverse weather we’ve been experiencing recently, a few fixtures have been postponed.
Since my last article, the ladies have managed to play twice during the last month. Both fixtures were league games, against Bromley and Newhaven, and both games saw the ladies win 4-0. Their incredible defensive record, together with a scintillating attack means that the Darts remain at the top of the London & South-East Regional Women’s Football League table. They have accumulated 28 points in their eleven games played so far, six points clear of second-placed Saltdean. Although, they do have three games in hand over the Darts.
Goalkeeper Jade Charlton has collected six clean sheets in the league so far, while Amy Russ is the team’s current top scorer with fifteen league goals. Her closest challenger is Emily Vaughan, who has scored six times, while Shauni Griffiths is hot on her heels with five goals to her name.
Whatever happens, it’s certainly going to be an exciting, yet busy time, as we enter the Christmas season section of the football calendar! So, enjoy the festivities, eat loads of turkey, and have plenty of laughs! But most of all, stay safe and love each other
Please remember to keep an eye on all teams’ progress via our social media platforms and the official club website throughout the season. And as always, thank you for your continued support and thanks for reading.
