18. £500,000 Rehab Center Opens In Bristol
One of the big subjects this week, is will we have our summer vacation abroad this year? As only yesterday the 10th February we all got told not to book anything yet and that it was illegal to go on holiday at the moment. Then we got told it’s OK to book a holiday in advance. In advance of when? As we still do not know when we will come out of lockdown 3.0 yet alone move in to a tier that allows us to leave our region. I feel as though we are all in limbo at the moment and as for having a holiday this is the last thing on my mind. I just want to get through this and see my family again, I don’t know about you? Anyway rant over. Till next week friends!!

And in its 30th year, House.” supporters are being asked to help it create more cherished memories for many years to The couple started fundraising in the laundry come. room of their home and spent days, evenings and weekends on the road with printed A £1m fundraising appeal to build the South leaflets talking to anyone who would listen West’s first children’s hospice was launched about the project. in 1991 by Eddie and Jill Farwell, who experienced the urgent need for hospice care In 1995, Little Bridge House opened its doors for local children. Their two eldest children, in Fremington, near Barnstaple. Huge Katie and Tom, had life-limiting illnesses and demand for its services led to the opening of the family had to travel more than four hours, the charity’s second hospice, Charlton Farm, from their home in North Devon to Helen near Bristol, in 2007. And in 2011, Little House in Oxford, then the country’s only Harbour opened in St Austell, Cornwall, meaning that no matter where families live children’s hospice. in the South West, children’s hospice care is available within an hour-and-a-half drive. Mr Farwell, who is the charity’s chief executive, said the idea to build a children’s hospice came to him during the middle of a restless night, and despite being told to ‘stop being so silly and go back to sleep’ by his late wife Jill, the idea began to take shape.

Today, CHSW supports more than 500 families across the peninsula. It has adapted its care during the pandemic to ensure Covidsafe support wherever and whenever families need it, including in the hospices, and for the first time ever, in families’ own homes. The charity needs around £11m a year to run its three children’s hospices, and around 85 per cent is raised through voluntary donations. “Katie and Tom, who had so little that this world values, not only inspired their parents, but also many thousands of people to create CHSW, which has helped and will continue to help, many hundreds of families across the South West,” said Mr Farwell. “It has been a tremendous journey and so many children and families have been helped along the way at each of our three hospices. That work would not have been possible without the continued faithfulness and generosity of people all over the South West.
“So we hope they will join with us in 2021 and celebrate this wonderful milestone, and all that they have helped us achieve. “We have lots of fundraising ideas on our website and anything people are able to do to help, no matter how big or small, will make a real difference to families in 2021. “Together, we can continue to create more memories to be cherished for another 30 years.” There are lots of ways people can support CHSW during its 30th year and every penny raised will help CHSW continue to care for very poorly children and families.

Mortgage Advisers Team Up in Lockdown to Write Erotic Romance Series Furloughed from their day job, Bristol-based mortgage advisers Stacey Campbell and Tracy Firks decided to use their time to create the ultimate ‘side hustle’. A chance comment over the office tea making duties set them on to the journey of becoming published authors. And not just any old published authors; creators of a trilogy of erotic romance novels, the first of which ‘The Director’ is available on pre-order from 14th February with a launch date of 31st March. The Director is the first book in The Storm Trilogy series and is the story of single mum Chloe Taylor, who undertakes an emotional journey to reconnect herself and find her confidence. Old friends and past loves resurface in Chloe’s life and take her on a journey that leads to some wild nights and exciting adventures. Stacey was inspired by a recently single friend, “Having had many conversations with a good friend of mine about her divorce experience and recent return to the dating scene, I was telling Tracy about her comical and hilarious dates in the kitchen one day. Over the coming weeks and months of telling Tracy about each encounter, I made the statement ‘I could write a book about this’, to which Tracy encouraged me. I tried to convince Tracy to join me in writing the book on many occasions until she finally caved in and agreed. After reading how Tracy wrote the example sex scene, we had much discussion about our writing style. We both write, with Tracy editing my writings into our writing style. We discuss every step of each chapter before it’s written. When restrictions allow, you will find us spending our afternoons after work sitting in a local tea shop discussing the storyline, sex scenes and browsing sex toy websites as we wait for our cucumber sandwiches and multiple cakes to arrive. Everyone loves a bit of afternoon tiffin… cake.”

Tracy knows the series will be an entertaining read for many, “If you are a reader of romance, erotic romance, funny filth, and love books and films like Bridget Jones, Sex and the City and Fifty Shades, then this is the book series for you. Follow Chloe on her journey of self-discovery after two men from her past pop back into her life, one of which was her first love. With hilarious steamy encounters of lust, nights in with raucous laughter and home truths with work colleagues and friends, Chloe needs to make a decision – what will she choose? Love or Lust? With steamy, emotional, and funny moments, it’s a trilogy not to be left on the shelf!

Over the last five years, they have both been working very hard on behalf of local residents and have a strong record of success. This week, we’d like to give you some background information on Cllr. Jos Clark.
8
Jos was born and grew up in Keynsham, attending the local primary school, which she really enjoyed, and the local secondary school, which was less enjoyable! However, it is nice that she is still friends with some of her class mates. Jos continued her studies at Bath Technical College and studied catering because she had a job in a restaurant. Jos said, ‘I didn’t enjoy the catering industry very much so I only remained working in it for a few years’. Jos has always loved the great outdoors and has enjoyed participating in many sporting pursuits. As a young girl Jos got her first horse, which took up a lot of her time but gave her so much freedom as they used to go out for the whole day riding for miles. Later on, she started getting into climbing and caving, spending most of her free time either climbing in Avon Gorge or caving in the Mendips. After leaving the catering industry, Jos began working with a management training company, who did a lot of team building work. Jos said, ‘My friend was just starting the business and he asked me to join him. We literally built the business by converting a derelict farm into a training centre. It was an amazing time’. Jos became the centre’s caving, climbing and hiking leader but was unfortunately made redundant when recession hit in the late eighties.
Social Services suggested she apply for a post in a children’s residential home as she had done a lot of work for them leading the boys on outdoor pursuits. She worked in the children’s home for a number of years and loved it because there was always so much going on with the farm and sports facilities they had on site. At this point Jos decided to continue with her education, first completing ‘A’ levels and then going to Bath Spa University and Bristol University to study for a Masters in Social Work. It was also at this time that Jos became interested in local politics.
She decided to stand as a local councillor, and was first elected in 2003. Jos said, ‘I enjoyed my time in the council immensely and felt I learnt so much, particularly when I was executive member for children’s services’. Jos lost her seat in 2011 but was re-elected in 2016 and became Lord Mayor in 2019.

NORTH SOMERSET HEADMISTRESS LOOKS AHEAD TO SCHOOL RETURN The Headmistress at a local independent primary school has said she is optimistic about some children returning to school in March but that any return should be carefully managed to ensure the safety of staff and pupils. Lesley Barton, Headmistress at Fairfield School in Backwell, North Somerset, said she is looking forward to in-person teaching resuming on site for all year groups, when scientific data and guidance indicate it is safe to do so. Prime Minister Boris Johnson last month announced that schools would not reopen until March 8 at the earliest following the latest national lockdown. Now as schools have settled into remote teaching and learning programmes, thoughts are turning to a roadmap out of restrictions. Lesley said: “I’m sure schools up and down the country are beginning to think about when and how we will come out of remote teaching and learning and return to on site teaching for more children. The priority must be the safety of our staff and pupils though, so we need to be patient and follow the data and the scientific guidance and advice. “Whatever happens I am so proud of our children and all of our teaching staff, for how well they have adapted to the current circumstances and how dedicated the teachers have been in delivering a full curriculum remotely.”
“The children are being offered a full day (8.30am3.30pm) of teaching and learning, whether at home or on site here in our Key Worker Children Bubble and, in addition to the live teaching and pre-recorded video clips, their teachers are available throughout each school day to offer further help and support. Our Lambs Nursery remains open on site too.
“We continue to issue our weekly newsletter each Friday and include in it everything we would like to celebrate for that week, which helps to keep our school community connected and strong. We are aware of the potentially negative impact of lockdown Fairfield School is a PNEU primary school and and feelings of isolation for some people and we are nursery (Lambs) on the outskirts of Bristol. Restriving to support our families by fostering a sense nowned for its values and extra-curricular proof strength of community and remaining supportive, gramme, the school has developed a robust remote upbeat and optimistic. learning curriculum in recent months. “The teaching staff are working exceptionally hard Lesley continued: “Throughout this lockdown period, to ensure that our children, from our youngest to the school is delivering a full curriculum of remote the oldest, are given every opportunity to engage teaching, including music and PE. with the remote teaching and learning and that they receive the support they need to continue to learn “Our remote curriculum includes a mixture of live and make progress.” teaching and pre-recorded video clips made by the class teachers, PE and music teachers and the Fairfield School is an independent co-educational children receive a pre-recorded message from me school for children aged 2 to 11.

HOUSEHUNTERS BENEFIT FROM VR
A new housing development in BS5 has invested in the latest interactive digital technology in order to help househunters get a feel for the homes during lockdown. The Chocolate Factory in Greenbank has released the first three-bedroom homes for sale, utilising a suite of 3D collateral including digital flythroughs, CGI images and videos and a 360° tour, helping buyers to visualise the completed project while building work is still underway. With the help of 3D specialists Do Digital Agency, an interactive touch screen experience called SoDA.suite has been created for the on-site marketing suite, which is currently open by appointment only. The new scheme is being developed by Generator South West. Mya Castillo, Sales and Marketing Consultant for the project said: “Whilst the housing market stays open during lockdown, it remains a challenge for developers and sales agents as to how they showcase their properties whilst buyers are reluctant, or indeed unable, to visit in person but still need to move. 14
“The Chocolate Factory in particular is a complex site, with many different house types, public realm, commercial elements and various architectural styles to convey – by working with Do Digital to create the virtual experience, people can get a sense of scale and the relationships the buildings have to each other from above or street level. Viewers can walk the new streets of Greenbank at their own pace or sit back and take a pre-programmed tour. “We are able to send the 360° tours and video clips to them so they can immerse themselves in the site without leaving their own homes. Those who do want to come to the marketing suite are able to make an appointment and navigate the digital showsuite themselves. “It has been interesting to see the different reactions from people receiving information this way – some people like to look at the scale development model and others prefer the virtual tour. It’s about delivering what the purchaser needs to be comfortable to make their purchase off plan.
TECHNOLOGY AT NEW DEVELOPMENT The contractors have also found it a really useful tool to visualize the build. We took the decision to commission this prior to the start of 2020 but being in the situation we now find ourselves in we are certainly glad we did.” When complete The Chocolate Factory will boast three and four-bedroom homes with parking and gardens and one and two-bedroom apartments. There will also be a public open square, community hub and access to the popular Bristol to Bath Railway Path.
“This combined with high-end CGI visuals has ensured The Chocolate Factory is showcasing material like no other development in Bristol.” Jason Schofield, Develoment Director for Generator South West, added: “The Chocolate Factory is an exciting scheme which will provide a vibrant living, working and leisure space for people in the sought-after BS5 community.
“Formerly the Elizabeth Shaw Chocolate Factory we have worked hard to retain key Hywel Glynn-Jones, Account Director at Do aspects of the site’s industrial past and Digital, said: “SoDA.suite and the 3D content combine it with a contemporary new look so it provides is perfect for online marketing and we’re really keen to show it off to as many peomaking the project accessible from anywhere ple as possible, even in these trying times.” in the world.

AMERICAN-STYLE PANCAKES WITH BLUEBERRY CARDAMOM Method For the compote, place the blueberries into a small saucepan with the sugar, water and pods (if using) Heat on a medium- high temperature until the fruit starts to soften and most of the liquid has evaporated. Leave in saucepan for the cardamom pods to continue to infuse. Sift the flour, salt and baking powder into a large bowl. Beat together the egg yolks then beat in the milk.
Ingredients For the pancakes: 115g plain flour ¼ tsp salt 1 tsp baking powder 1 egg separated 145 ml milk 20g melted butter Blueberry and cardamom compote: 200g Frozen (defrosted) or fresh blueberries 3 cardamom pods 2-3 tsp. caster sugar 2 tbsp water
Make a well in the centre of the mixture and add the milk mixture, gradually drawing in the flour from the sides until all combined and the batter is the consistency of thick cream. Stir the melted butter into the mixture. Whisk the egg whites until stiff and fold into the batter. Heat a frying pan on a medium-high, when hot, drop spoonfuls of batter on to the surface keeping them well separated (5 should fit in a large frying pan). Cook for a couple of minutes. When the underside of the pancakes are light golden brown and bubbles rise to the surface, lift the pancakes with a fish slice, turn over and brown the other side. Keep warm in a tea towel, whilst cooking second batch. Serve with a dollop of natural yogurt and compote and a generous amount of fresh strawberries

Rehab specialist opens £500,000 centre in Bristol
A leading rehabilitation specialist which has helped Olympic stars and armed forces veterans recover from brain injuries and strokes has opened a new intensive neurotherapy centre with state-of-the-art neurotechnology in Bristol.
It is the first independent provider in the UK to combine bespoke high-dosage physiotherapy, occupational therapy and speech and language therapy alongside game-changing neurotechnologies including the Tyrosolution, MyoPro® and other assistive robotics.
It is the first outpatient centre of its kind in the south of England to combine personalised hands-on therapy with next-generation technology for people with brain and spinal cord injuries, strokes and such conditions as MS and Parkinson’s.
Hobbs Rehabilitation’s can-do approach and clinical excellence helps patients to rebuild their lives from devastating injuries and conditions by focussing on achieving personal goals such as climbing the stairs unaided, driving a car or getting back on the golf course.
Hobbs Rehabilitation, which treats around 500 people each month, has invested almost half a million pounds in the Intensive Neurotherapy Centre which is newly opened at Eden Office Park in Pill and aims to help patients with neurological conditions speed up their recovery progress significantly. It includes therapy rooms, training facilities, breakout areas and an extensive gym equipped with pioneering technology incorporating robotics, sensors and virtual reality.
By using neurotechnology in a targeted way for several hours per day over a period of four to eight weeks, they can potentially deliver a six-fold increase in the intensity of treatment compared to conventional therapy alone, maximising the impact on neuroplasticity. Alison Gomes Da Silva, lead physiotherapist and centre manager, said: “A brain injury or neurological condition can be absolutely devastating for an individual and their family.
“Our aim is to give people their lives back Bristol is the first Hobbs Rehabilitation Centre and gain greater independence, whether that with the entire Tyrosolution suite of is helping them recover from a catastrophic technology from Tyromotion, including the accident or incident or minimising the impact of a long-term condition. 18
with futuristic technology for brain injury patients
The innovative firm has also supported former SBS officer Mark Bowra following a stroke; event rider Jemima Green after a horrific car accident; and Hampshire tree surgeon Callum Kilby, who shattered his spine after being struck by a falling tree. Clinical lead and co-founder Helen Hobbs, who founded the firm with Nicky Ellis in 2005, said: “The exciting development of assistive neurotechnology and robotics has allowed clinicians to significantly increase the number of repetitions achieved during therapy sessions and improve patient outcomes.

EMERGENCY WINTER FOOD SUPPORT
The FoodStock 2020 operation, which gets food to frontline charities and settings – including ready-to-go food parcels – has been described as a safety net for the city and region during the COVID-19 pandemic and has been operating from a temporary warehouse space by Ashton Gate Stadium. The operation was set to conclude in mid-February but has been extended to meet continued need across the city and wider region and will now conclude at the end of March. Julian Mines, CEO of FareShare South West, says: “When we returned from Christmas, it was apparent that the optimism many of us had felt towards the end of 2020 was perhaps a little premature and that the impacts of this pandemic were set to continue well into 2021. The frontline charities, schools and settings who get this food are clearly telling us that need is continuing to soar in their communities. This is no surprise, particularly considering the most recent lockdown. We are fortunate to have had more food committed to us by DEFRA, meaning along with important local partnerships with food businesses, we can continue receiving and redistributing emergency food at scale right up until the end of March. What we know is that in times of lockdown many services struggle to continue offering food support in ways they perhaps can outside of those rules and therefore our food becomes a vital resource, and one we know has prevented many thousands in Bristol and beyond from falling through the cracks and into more complex issues relatingto food poverty. 20
Being there for our city and wider region would not have been possible without the support we’ve received from local businesses, individual donations and of course our incredible volunteers who have stepped up to make this possible.” FareShare South West say that they have almost reached their original £20,000 target for public donations to the FoodStock 2020 operation, but with the project extended and with much of the infrastructure to redistribute this food being temporary and at cost to the charity, they have set an additional £10,000 target to be met by the end of March. From April 2021, FareShare South West will revert to only operating their sustainable, long-term food support, which sees good quality surplus food reach over 300 frontline organisations weekly in the region year in and year out. However, they will be endeavouring to do this at much higher levels than pre-COVID, so face the huge challenge of upscaling their core operations fast in the coming months once temporary resources are no longer available.

Aardman youth campaign tackles mental health
The What's Up With Everyone? Is A short film series made by Aardman Studios looks at five mental health issues that are affecting young people the most. The project aims to tackle the rise in mental health concerns for the age group during the pandemic. Students who took part said the issues they looked at were the ones that often get "ignored". The series focuses on loneliness, competitiveness, perfectionism, independence and social media. University of the West of England student Charlotte Butler Blondel voiced Tai in the short film about competitiveness. Miss Butler Blondel said the issues they focused on were often “ignored” and hoped that when people watch the films they would “talk about them more”. She said: “I know a lot of people who have TikTok and I have too, but the comments on there are filled with people who are so jealous of people’s figures and their lifestyles. “It’s not a healthy thing.” Bristol film student Matthew Cox voiced Merve in the film about loneliness.
He said he hoped it helps others "educate themselves" about mental health issues. Mr Cox said: "There is still a taboo around everything. "You see students who are unfortunately ending their lives. "It needs be treated as if it's a physical illness; treat it the same way we treat cancer." Aardman's interactive and creative director Neil Pyner, who helped produce the series, said the team "really wanted to make a difference" for young people. He said: "If it makes people step back and start a conversation then I think we've done our job." University of Nottingham professor of Health Humanities, Paul Crawford, alongside research teams from other universities and young people's mental health expert, Dr Dominique Thompson, were involved in the research behind the campaign. The Mental Health Foundation, Mental Wellbeing charity and Happy Space also contributed. The series is now available online and on social media. 23

What’s the future looking like for Bristol zoo
Bristol Zoological Society have started an extensive engagement programme with the local community to ask their views on future plans for Bristol Zoo Gardens’ West Car Park on College Road in Clifton.
It is used mostly for Bristol Zoological Society colleague parking, but also for overflow parking for visitors in peak holiday periods and weekends and the Clifton Pavilion venue hire guests.
It is the first phase of Bristol Zoological Society’s new strategy, revealed in November, to safeguard the future of the charity.
Dr Justin Morris, Chief Executive of Bristol Zoological Society, said: “It is important to us to have open discussions with our neighbours and other interested stakeholders over the plans for our future and for them to have their say. This consultation period on the West Car Park, follows an in-depth review of all our strategic options.
This will see the relocation of Bristol Zoo to the Wild Place Project site in 2024 to create a world-class zoo with spacious, modern facilities, significant growth in conservation and education work and a ground-breaking, innovative visitor experience. This initial phase relates solely to an area of Zoo-owned land on College Road, for which the Society will be submitting a planning application in the spring. The sale of the car park site will provide a vital contribution to the funds required to deliver the ambitious plans for the new Bristol Zoo. The Society’s proposals for the West Car Park site include a scheme for 65 highquality new homes, a mix of one, two and three-bed apartments and three to four bed mews houses, of which 20 per cent will be affordable in line with Bristol City Council planning policy. The Zoo-owned car park and adjacent land is a brownfield site just over half an acre in size.
26
“We are committed to developing plans for the West Car Park that respond sensitively to the setting and context of the site. The intention is a high-quality, sustainable scheme, making use of materials that are sympathetic to the surrounding environment.” Dr Morris added: “As a wildlife and conservation charity, our proposals will also have high environmental and sustainable standards, and we want to ensure our proposals give a helping hand to local wildlife. “The proposed scheme includes bird and bat boxes and bee bricks across the site, use of soft landscaping, green roofs and wildlife-friendly planting. “In addition, the plans include use of energy-efficient materials and build methods, making use of renewable materials, include mechanical ventilation and heat recovery, and the installation of electric car charging points and plentiful cycle parking provision.
“As we have been Clifton residents since 1836, we want to leave behind a legacy of which we can all be proud. “Public feedback will help shape our planning application for the car park site. Community consultation will also be an important component in developing our future plans for the Bristol Zoo Gardens site, as well as the new Bristol Zoo at the site of Wild Place Project. “Our new strategy ensures that Bristol Zoo continues to exist for generations to come, offering millions more people the opportunity to experience the magic of a new Bristol Zoo.” Bristol Zoo Gardens will remain open until late 2022 and visitors will not see an immediate change while plans are developed further. Wild Place Project will remain open throughout this time, until it becomes the new Bristol Zoo in 2024. The announcement of the Society’s new strategy comes following years of declining visitor numbers to Bristol Zoo Gardens and the organisation having made an operating loss in four of the last six years.
A separate planning application relating to the main Bristol Zoo Gardens site will be submitted either late 2021 or early 2022. Further details will be announced in due course and additional information is available at www.bristolzoo.org.uk/our-future

Planning application refused The Hopes to save the community’s only pub have been increased after developers lost an appeal to turn the pub it into houses. The proposal to demolish the Giant Goram in Lawrence Weston and replace it with seven homes were rejected by Bristol City Council about 12 months ago.
The inspector said that while last owners The Wellington Pub Company, which sold the property to Hawkfield in September 2019, may not have seen it as a profitable enterprise, “I am not persuaded that other models of ownership/operation have been fully considered and could not be successful”.
The company Hawkfield Homes appealed against the decision to the Planning Inspectorate, which held a hearing back in January.
“It has not been demonstrated that the pub is no longer economically viable or that a diverse range of public house provision exists within the locality,” he said.
A government inspector announced on Thursday, February 4th that he has dismissed the appeal after suggesting the developers’ claims the pub was no longer economically viable.
Wilde said the council’s planning policy required existing community facilities to be retained unless there was no longer a need, saying: “To my mind the Giant Goram has to be defined as a community facility.
John Wilde said in statement online the test for this in the council’s planning policies was set out by the Campaign for Real Ale, comprising 11 criteria such an assessment of local trade, customer potential, competition, parking and flexibility of the site.
“It is the last of the original five pubs in Lawrence Weston, a community that has also lost many of its other facilities. Further housing in the community is due to be developed in the near future.
He said: “The evidence before me does not deal in any detail whatsoever with any of the above issues. It does, however, deal with the marketing that has been carried out.” Mr Wilde said the pub had been put on the market most recently during the pandemic and by a residential estate agency rather than a specialist licenced premises agent.
28
“It has not been shown that there is no longer a need to retain the pub and alternative provision has not been made.” He also said development would result in the total loss of a locally listed building in the area. A locally listed building is considered important to an area’s heritage. It is different from a listed building in that it is not listed by the secretary of state, nationally significant or granted legal protection.
“I acknowledge that the age, layout, siting and structure of the building make it a challenge to retain and that demolition could be seen to be the obvious answer,” Wilde said. “However, I am not persuaded that every possible option has been thoroughly and comprehensively evaluated.” Former landlady Beverly Gardner-Ponting revealed in September 2019 she had been given 28 days’ notice to leave the pub by the Wellington Pub Company. Not long after she had pulled her final pint, the firm sold the building to Clevedon-based construction firm Hawkfield Homes, which applied for planning permission for the new houses. City council planning officers rejected this in February 2020 because by demolishing the last remaining public house in Lawrence Weston”. There was also a lack of evidence to demonstrate it was no longer economically viable or there was not a need for it.
Planners also felt the “total demolition of the existing building would fail to respect the historic and social value of the building and would harm the character and local distinctiveness of the area”. They said the proposal “fails to provide for the financial contributions required to reduce the single person car trips from the development and provide pedestrian crossing facilities with dropped kerbs” at several nearby junctions, a factor the planning inspector agreed with. The developers submitted their appeal in September last year, stating that “it is evident the Giant Goram is unviable as a public house”.

Dementia and Football – Is There A Link? The media has been inundated with different headlines about the risk of dementia and football. This is after new research reported that ex professional football players were more likely to die from dementia than their age mates in the general population. Major head injuries have been known to increase the risk of developing dementia later in life. A blow to the head that results in loss of consciousness may cause some changes in the brain. These may cause dementia development later on. Scientists have calculated that a football which weighs about half a kilo can strike a player on the head at a speed of 128km/h. When the ball hits the head, there is a possibility that the brain that floats in the skull cavity will be injured as it bounces against the back wall of the skull. While a single header may not cause significant damage, repeatedly doing this for an extended period may cause problems. Football and dementia risk Researchers from Glasgow University spearheaded investigations on the claims that brain injuries were linked to heading a ball. This was after Jeff Astle, former West Brom striker, lost his life because of repeated head trauma. Look into the details of this study below.
The analysis also concluded that there was a 5-fold risk increase in Alzheimer’s risk, a 4-fold increase in risk relating to Motor Neurone Disease, and a 2-fold increase in Parkinson’s disease risk. Additionally, the study also found that ex-footballers were almost 5 times more likely to be on prescribed dementia drugs. Dr. Willie Stewart, a consultant neuropathologist and one of the leaders of the study, also stated that while ex-football players had higher rates of dementia, they had lower death rates caused by other major diseases like heart diseases or some cancers. The research confirmed that being active and playing football helped to reduce the risk of these serious illnesses. This implies that former football stars lived for about three more years on average than a matched group from the general population. Consequences of the Study
Participants of the Study The study is an attempt to explain the link between dementia and football. It compared the deaths of ex-football players and those from the general population. The participants involved 23,000 people from the general population and 7,676 former players who were born between 1900 and 1976 and had played professional football in Scotland. The study began in 2018 and went on for 22 months. It was commissioned by the Professional Footballer’s Association and the Football Association. Results of the Study Data from the study was published in The New England Journal of Medicine. The findings revealed that former footballers had higher dementia rates. According to this study, the former players were 3 1/2 times more likely to develop dementia than the general population. 30
After the results of the study focusing on dementia and football, there were some ramifications. Among these include the fact that the UK and the USA banned kids from heading ball while playing football. In the UK, the decision mostly affects children in primary school up to the age of 12. Football associations altered guidance on the skill to recommend a graduated approach to head for those ages between 12 and 16 years during training sessions.
The US, on the other hand, banned heading for children aged ten years and younger.
The other study is looking at about 300 ex-professional footballers.
The country also placed limits for kids between the ages of 11-13. Currently, there is no ban on heading for football matches because the number of headers is limited. While researchers did not state that heading a football was the cause of increased dementia risk, the guidelines were updated to mitigate against potential risk, according to the FA.
The researchers are seeking to gather detailed information about the players, including mental and physical function, various lifestyle factors, and history of heading into football in addition to assessing changes in their brain.
The family of Jeff Astle who lost his life in 2002 and over 400 families of players with dementia have come together to demand urgent action. Supported by medical experts, they are calling for:
The study is receiving funding from The Drake Foundation. The findings of the study did not present enough evidence that could cause changes in how football is played.
1. A government inquiry on why warnings about dementia and football were not acted upon swiftly. 2. Practical help and care funds to be made available to the families of suffering players. 3. New concussion protocols that will put football in line with the other sports and the facilitation of temporary substitutes. 4. A review of other ways football can be made safer both in matches and in training. New Research The results of the study trying to identify the link between dementia and football have led to the launch of new research. Two studies have already been launched to look at the changes that happen to the brains of professional footballers as they grow older. The results of this can help people to get a better understanding of the long-term effects of heading the ball and playing football. One of the studies is being conducted by The University of East Anglia. The study that began early 2020 will see researchers use technology to test former professional footballers for early dementia signs. It will explore when players may start showing these signs. Participants of the study will involve both men and women.
In a statement, the FA stated that the study does not explain whether it is concussions, concussion management, style of play, heading of the football, the composition or design of football or even lifestyle or other factors that lead to the increase in dementia risk. Further research still needs to be conducted on the link between football and dementia risk. This will answer many questions concerning dementia and football and perhaps help to identify and reduce risk factors.

Hotels focus on new social-distancing measures Creative hotel staff have come up with new measures to ensure people maintain an appropriate distance from each other if they attend any meetings at any of its sites. Focus Hotels challenged staff at the businesses it manages to come up with alternatives to the two metre stickers which have become commonplace in shops and other outlets during the pandemic. And the team at the DoubleTree by Hilton Bristol City Centre found the perfect solution, using items which aren’t out of place in any hotel but are easier on the eye than the stickers. Sarah Monk. Commercial Director for Focus Hotels, said: “What they’ve come up is quite quirky, but very appropriate for a hotel environment. Full marks for creativity!” Staff discovered that the two-metre distance can be measured using: •
Three standard umbrellas, end-to-end
•
22 water bottles, side-by-side
•
23 disposable coffee cups, side-by-side
•
27 white wine glasses, side-by-side.
Sarah said: “We’ve all seen things like footprints on the floor, and pieces of tape laid down to help people maintain the recommended distance from each other to prevent the spread of the virus. “Most of our hotels have meeting and function rooms, so we thought we could have a bit of fun asking our hoteliers how they were measuring out the social distancing. “After all, we could all use a bit of fun during these particularly difficult times. “The DoubleTree team’s response was perfect, although I’m not sure we’d be able to set the meeting rooms of all our hotels up like this for every meeting or booking!” All the hotels managed by the Focus group have been hosting essential meetings and training sessions for a wide variety of different businesses over the past few weeks. Sarah added: “While this has been a bit of fun, we take the health and safety of our customers and staff extremely seriously. “It’s important that people know they can book their meetings and training events with us with confidence, knowing that we have done everything possible to create Covid-safe environments at all our hotels.” Last year, Focus Hotels invested in Certificates of Conformity from Buckinghamshire-based Clifton Environmental Services, a leading global provider in its field, for all its independent businesses, while branded hotels, like Hilton and Accor, were subjected to acclaimed safety schemes of their own.

The Greenway Group is a community-led project, formed in 2017 to promote the need for safe walking and cycling infrastructure to connect our communities to make our lives safer, cleaner, and greener. We’re now working with Sustrans on the route design and hope to be able to confirm the preferred route later this year”. Andrea Pilgrim, sales director at Barratt Homes Bristol added:
“At Barratt Homes, we are passionate about supporting local communities and increasing sustainability so when we heard about the greenway project we were really keen to help. The streets of Charfield Gardens are designed to be people friendly, with defined footpaths and low speed limits and the development will also have its own orchard and allotments. So a traffic-free route connecting neighbouring communities, schools and leisure facilities will be a fantastic addition and complements the work we are carrying out to protect and enhance local wildlife.” To find out more about the new homes or to register your interest in visiting the new show homes or booking a one-to-one virtual tour, visit www.barratthomes.co.uk or call 0333 3558 490
