As a charity, the trustees have an obligation to maximise the efficiency and effectiveness of the charity’s assets and investments, including from the estate, in order to enable the charity’s ability to reinvest back into the community and achieve its charitable purpose and objectives.

As one of the area’s leading benefactors, Talbot Village Trust awards grants twice a year to projects promoted by a charity, church, school, college, or university.

Bournemouth born and educated, Richard Cutler is a chartered surveyor and town planner and has been running his own property business since 2009, returning to the BCP conurbation in 2015 believing it offers unrivalled opportunities and lifestyle choices for his family. Richard, with a strong interest in design and sustainable development, and a passion and commitment for the local area, aims to help the Trust continue to make a difference locally by encouraging strong, strategic decision making on key projects.

Talbot Village Trust, a local grant giving charity that supports worthy causes across south east Dorset, has welcomed three new trustees to its board.

Nicholas Ashley-Cooper, Chairman of Talbot Village Trust, says: “We are incredibly fortunate to have a new set of such strong trustees to add to the board and I know that I am speaking on behalf of the rest of the team at the Trust when I say that too. These appointments are hugely significant to the charity and will help us to strengthen our work with our colleagues in local charities and not-for profit organisations. As an organisation, we are taking the time to review our processes, practices and approach to be sure that the funds we donate to local causes each year are true to our founding Talbot sisters’ mission and have a direct impact on local people of all ages and abilities.” Mary Riall, a former teacher, is founder of an educational charity that works to raise aspiration and achievement of all children. Through this, Mary brings a wealth of experience

Benefiting the trust, Cecilia also has extensive expertise in the charity sector, holding chair of board positions at both the eye health charity Macular Society and the conservation charity Plant Heritage and through these strategic positions has knowledge of charitable governance, overseeing policy and organisational strategy.

The new trustees will volunteer their time and work alongside the other like-minded trustees.

Mary Riall, Cecilia Bufton and Richard Cutler join current trustees Nick Ashley Cooper, James Gibson Fleming, Christopher Lees and George Meyrick on the board. Giving their time for free, the seven-strong trustee board are united by their goal of helping people to transform their own lives in Dorset for the better.

childrendisadvantagedhelpingdevelop the vital life skills they need to overcome the challenges they face and to recognise and fulfil their potential. As a board member of the Ernest Cook Trust, Mary also brings valuable experience in the strategic development of a grant giving trust.

With a diverse range of skills and interests, the new trustees will contribute to the charity as it continues to make a difference across south-east Dorset through grant giving and by ensuring that the financial support provided by the charity is used to best effect, ultimately supporting people to live fulfilled lives in the local community. As custodians of Talbot Village, the board is also responsible for ensuring that there are resources available to manage the land and properties within the estate.

Talbot Village Trust appoints three new trustees

With 30 years’ business experience, Cecilia Bufton is chair of Dorset LEP, non-executive director of Dorset NHS Integrated Care Board, and has held senior level roles in strategic marketing, sales, and business development.

Applicants wishing to apply for funding can visit www. talbotvillagetrust.org to find out more information about the charity and how it awards funds. Applicants can submit their applications online by January 31st or July 31st.

The everlasting poise and performance of Serena Williams.

“I just always come back to that phrase, ‘you are a long time retired’, and that really speaks volumes for who I am and the love I have for this sport,” she begins. “Of course, on occasions I have grown tired of it, and certainly I value my downtime away from the court more than ever before; but if the idea of taking my racket out there, of competing, of giving it my all, still excites me, then why would I possibly want to do anything else?” Indeed, Williams’ ambitions on the court have evolved almost as much as the athlete herself. A perennial winner who has chalked up 23 Grand Slam event wins, including seven at Wimbledon, time away from action – notably with husband Alexis, who she marrieddaughter2017,inandAlexisJr–hasalteredherperceptionofsuccess.“Beforeitwasalwaystitles,titles,titles,”shesays.“You ﬁnd that does change a little over time. itjustever,intensedrivecourseOfmyisasasbutmakingbackto competition is now a win; and climbing the world rankings again is a huge thrill for me.

While the subject of retirement for Serena Williams is always one on the lips of interviewers, it is to the 40-year-old’s unending credit that she perseveres on in a sport that has given her so much, all of which she has paid back many times over. From recurrent injuries, mental health worries, the exhaustion of over two decades on the circuit, the distractions of media work, and the small matter of a young child waiting for her at home, no-one would begrudge the Florida-born star – the greatest female tennis player to have ever lived – the decision to start a new career.

My daughter brought out a new form of expression in me, and that was really important. It was a really humble experience; but also one that made me want to reach out and express this new me.

constructionsustainabilityrealinreallydoescomedowntothebuildingratherthantheinhabitants,andthat’swhatweneedtogetacrosstothe

Designer, writer and television presenter, Kevin McCloud leapt into our consciousness with his vastly successful Grand Designs show on Channel 4. This month, the a able architectural business owner talks sustainability.about Sustainability in design is obviously a hot topic, yet it comes from a place where the reality is the housing stock in this country is actually pretty poorly constructed, and when that happens it means we are immediately on the backfoot as far as sustainability and carbon footprint goes. This comes about because of that classic play-o between the environment and the wallet – they have never been good bedfellows and never will be, so we kind of get what we expect out of the Whatequation.that means is that while our homes are typically not as sustainable or environmentally friendly as they might be, we compensate for that fact by trying to wrestle back a bit of positive contribution through our own daily lifestyle habits.

next generation of homebuilders, and in that I’m talking about things like high-performing concretes, and cements that have a lot of recycled material in them… like blast furnace slag and pulverised ﬂy ash. It’s also about building with recycled stone and locally sourced wood materials, and investing in craftsmanship rather than mass-market ways of producing what we need.

When we source materials this way, we tend to value the relationship we have with them that bit more, so we are e ectively redrawing the circle in a way that ensures we invest more in what we

I’mhave.really looking forward to a new wave of sustainability that goes right from the root, because as much as how we behave as people a ects the environment, the way our homes are built in the ﬁrst place determines so many of our actions, and the extent we need to go to in order to a ect the same change.

In simple terms, that means all of us can turn the thermostat down, or look towards secondary glazing windows, or put more insulation in the attic. All of us can recycle more, can waste less, can grow our own vegetables, walk more, invest in electric technology, or simply just explore the idea of sharing more with our neighbours. All of these things reduce collective carbon and environmental footprint, but most also share the idea of community and a common goal, and I think that’s just as Ofimportant.course,

3. Lower Charges: Since workplace pensions were introduced, competition has increased and charges have reduced. This is great for the consumer but sadly many existing pension schemes still charge the same as they always did. It is possible to consolidate and switch pension providers to save money after full analysis to ensure valuable benefits aren’t being lost.

2. Secure: toprotectedschemesPensionarevarying degrees, with some insured schemes offering 100% protection in the event of provider default. In addition, money held in a pension is secure and separate from your business. In the event of the failure of your business, pension savings are secure.

Business Owner’s Retirement Planning

To advertise in this magazine, call 01202 89439718

The big picture: The first stage is to quantify what level of income you will need in retirement, and what other capital events you need to account for during your retirement (eg dream holidays, house renovations, financial support for children for house deposits & weddings etc). Once established, it’s possible to work backwards and identify how much you need to have saved to meet your retirement aspirations. We utilize market-leading cash-flow software to quantify this, taking into account inflation assumptions and projected investment returns. It’s possible to model different scenarios; for example we can run one scenario to include a business sale, and another to assume the business continues under management to continue to generate revenue for the owner.

1. Tax Efficient: Pension contributions are treated as a business expense so save corporation tax for limited companies. They are a very effective way to draw excess profits from the business without the need to pay corporation tax on those profits or income tax/dividend tax if drawn personally. The self-employed qualify for taxrelief so in effect pay no tax on contributions. There are annual allowances of £40,000 to consider but it’s possible to go back up to 3 years if full contributions haven’t been made and use “carry-forward” to make higher contributions in the current tax year.

Understanding Investments:

The role of pensions: Whilst we would all hope that the business thrives and provides the capital needed to retire, sadly this isn’t always the case. Like all things in life, it’s sensible to diversify your options and saving into a pension can be a very effective way to provide further flexible capital for retirement with many advantages.

4. Inheritance Tax exempt: Under current legislation, pension savings are not included in the value of your estate for IHT purposes. The pension fund can also be passed down to nominated beneficiaries on death in a tax efficient manner (tax-free pre age 75 and taxable at the nominated beneficiaries own income tax rate post age 75). To summarise, with sensible planning it’s possible to pay less tax and keep more of your hard earned money to fund your financial future. Hopefully this means you may either retire sooner, or enjoy an improved lifestyle during retirement. If you’d like to learn more or discuss your personal situation, we would be delighted to meet for a free, no obligation initial chat.

The value of an investment and the income from it could go down as well as up. The return at the end of the investment period is not guaranteed and you may get back less than you originally invested. The contents of this article are for information purposes only and do not constitute individual advice.

As a business owner (self-employed or limited company) you have a greater degree of flexibility over how you are remunerated but also greater responsibilities for your staff, customers and the future success of the business. What can often be missed is the responsibility to focus on your own retirement planning.

The Adventures of Daichi The Modern Magazines Camper Van Daichi loves the sea. That is why we all moved to Weymouth at the end of last year, to be as close to the beach as possible. And what a summer it has been. Glorious sunshine, glistening blue, turquoise waters, golden sand and lots of happy faces. Of course, boat trips are a must and with plenty of choice, Weymouth harbour is a delight to sail from. I may have mentioned that my Mum has dementia. It is a horrible disease that is for sure. Never predictable and always a challenge. My Dad, at age 87 still drives all the way from Hull to visit us and I absolutely take my hat off to him for persisting through the same questions on and on as he cruises down the motorway. Music works well and the sixties songs with The Supremes, Neil Diamond, Buddy Holly, Dusty Springfield and even the Rolling Stones are a blessing no one would ever realise. Singing to her hearts content, all smiles, the long journey is possible… albeit ear plugs are recommended! Dad, having been a fisherman all his life, loves the water. That is where I get my passion from, I am sure. My sister and I try and give him as much time as possible for his ultimate pleasure, pond fishing for carp, but boat trips to sea are also one of his delights. Hayden, our son of now nearly nineteen, used to go on the Yorkshire Belle with them, in Bridlington, when he visited in the summer some moons ago. So, off to sea we went. We chose a smaller, leisurely boat called Josephine so that Mum would not be alarmed. It was just gorgeous. Bobbing along on the calm waters, literally watching the world go by, looking back at the busy Esplanade with people milling around, fair rides spinning, children playing, I All aboard! Smiles all round... Nothe Fort from the water To advertise in this magazine, call 01202 89439728

have to say I just love it. Passing Nothe Fort, on the right, our coastal defence which was built between 1860 and 1872 by 26 Company of the Royal Engineers to protect Portland and Weymouth Harbours, makes you feel quite small sat in a tiny blue boat. It was due to this construction that Portland became an important Royal Navy base. The fort is certainly worth a visit but do be ready for the gun shots on each hour or they can be quite a shock! I nearly finished up on the top of Portland (spiritually) when I first heard it! With a prison there, I am not sure that was prosurvival… So, back on the boat, all was well. We continued across the bay towards Portland Harbour. I was amazed at the buildings jutting right out to sea. I believe they were all part of the defence which was put in place. They are pretty derelict now and would need quite some upgrade, but I am sure they would make some very unusual houses. The problem with me is that I am always looking for a project to do… it drives Stephen mad! One day I will retire… but it could be some time. We pootled into Portland Bay where there were huge cargo ships and a naval ship, but then to our utter delight two dolphins jumped out of the water in synchronised dancing. How wonderful! Back and forth they frolicked, entertaining us with lots of ooh, aahs and happy sounds. Family times are all about making memories, and although Mum will not remember, as she was ‘not there’ and will adamantly assert that, we knew she had a good time and loved every minute. So did we. Sailing back, to our astonishment there was a seal bathing on a rock, looking at us in a rather bored way while flapping its tail quietly against the stone. What an incredible day and all here in the UK. I do enjoy a trip abroad, but there are such sights, delights and moments to be enjoyed right here. Dad really wants to go reef fishing. It is on his ‘bucket’ list and with trips available here in Weymouth, I wonder if Daichi can make this go right for us all? I wonder? Let’s see in the next issue of your Local Magazine. Have a great month of September. By Debbie Corney Dolphins in Portland harbour the seal?

Money on my mind...the Martin Lewis column phone contracts. So if you’re coughing more than about a tenner a month for your mobile phone contract – and by that I mean calls, texts and data, not the device itself –you’re probably in line to save some money. It all comes down to looking for the best-priced SIM for your needs, because once you ﬁnd the right deal, it’s really very easy nowadays to grab your PAC code and switch networks. Now usually when I suggest switching to a different mobile provider, people come back with concern over signal strength for, say, Lebara Mobile or PlusNet or whoever it is offering the best deal on data. The reality though is that the communications network is run by four companies and four companies only – O2, EE, Vodafone and Three. Every other provider is piggybacking off their signal, so, in effect, it’s the same signal. So by selecting one of the smaller companies all you’re doing is going with a virtual network, and everything else should remain the same. Obviously check before you sign up to see if 5G or tethering conditions are available, but beyond those things it’s the same line. It’s strange that mobile phones are such an integral part of our lives, yet many of us take for granted the competitiveness of the industry and don’t realise where we can be making savings.Inanera of prices rising inexplicably across the board in other elements of our life, the time is now to start working the equation back in our favour, so have a look at your bill, survey the competition and start the conversation! He’s the UK’s leading money saving expert - a journalist and presenter who has kept millions of pounds in people’s pockets as well as lifting the lid on the threats and dangers we need to be aware of as consumers.

In this month’s column, Martin Lewis looks at how, in a time of rising costs, we can make savings in other places.

There’s so much attention at the moment on the cost of petrol, the cost of our utilities, the rise in inﬂation, and it all seems like bad news. Yet sometimes we are all guilty of obsessing over the negative elements whilst failing to recognise good opportunities elsewhere; and if you’re looking for one sector where costs, pretty much consistently over time, have always decreased, then reach into your pocket and take out your trusty mobile phone. Telecommunications, broadband and connected industries continue to slash prices in what is a consumerled price war, and the simple truth is many of us are still paying too much for our mobile

With interest rates at an all time low, returns on savings and investments are very poor and people who are retiring are finding that their pension schemes are not going to give them the income they were hoping for! Add to those the Covid 19 issue such as furlough, redundancies and early retirement. YET the one thing that has increased in value will be their home. Hence the saying ‘Property Rich, Cash Poor’ so why struggle financially when you may be sitting on hundreds of thousands of pounds in property value. So what is an Equity Release Lifetime mortgage? It is simply a mortgage, which you do NOT have to make repayments on. The Interest is added to the mortgage amount and when the Bob Ducker To advertise in this magazine, call 01202 894397

Yes, I have heard all of these comments when discussing Equity Release, and many ‘armchair experts’ tell my clients “don’t do it”! ‘Equity Release’ is a generic term for people who wish to release funds from the Equity/ value in their property and this can be done by various methods such as, a remortgage, a capital & interest or interest only mortgage, a Retirement Interest Only mortgage, a Later life mortgage, a home reversion scheme or a lifetime mortgage. A truly ‘Unbiased’ independent broker will research all the options and advise you on the most suitable to match your requirement, Yes, in the 1980’s these ‘Equity Release’ schemes caused difficulties, when it was assumed that property values would rise each year and that property price inflation would consistently be higher than mortgage interest rates. In the 1980s thousands of retired people were encouraged to take out variable rate mortgages and put their money into stock market-related investment bonds. The income from these bonds was expected to be sufficient to pay the interest on the mortgage and provide additional income. But the market produced poor returns on the bonds as recession arrived, and at the same time interest rates rose and property values fell. Equity Release type mortgages were relaunched in 2007 and a new rules and regulations were brought into force by the Financial Services Authority (FSA) now the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). Since then any Adviser who gives advice on ‘Equity Release’ type mortgages must be qualified and hold 2 important qualifications. They are the qualifications CeMAP and CeRER. CeMAP – Chartered Institute of Bankers Certificate in Mortgage Advice and Practice. CeRER – Independent School of Finance Certificate in Regulated Equity Release and Home Reversion Schemes All Equity Release Plans have to follow the standards set by the Equity Release Council. Firstly the NO Negative GuaranteeEquity , this means that you CANNOT owe more in capital and interest than your home is worth. You can stay in your home until the last survivor passes on or moves into long-term care and no debt is carried forward to your family. You MUST receive Independent Legal Advice, this is at the end of the application process when you receive your copy of the Offer, the solicitor will discuss with you the details of the offer and ensure you are under no pressure from anyone and ensure that you understand the fees, charges and features of the mortgage, It is vital to use a solicitor who understands ‘Equity Release ‘as many do not. We can recommend Solicitors that do. So why are we seeing a major increase in the arrangement of ‘Equity Release’ schemes?

“It’s a scam, you will lose your home, you will get ripped off!”

There are NO restrictions on what you spend the release funds on, holidays, cars, home improvements, debt consolidation, helping family, redeeming existing mortgages.

Equity release lifetime mortgages are based on your age/s, the value of your home and whether your home is Freehold or Leasehold. You can also get enhanced release amounts if you suffer from ill health. Equity Release mortgage Interest is on a fixed for life basis. The funds released can be taken as a Lump Sum Only or a Lump sum with a Cash Reserve Drawdown account, which works like an overdraft facility, you have access to the reserve and can take amounts from that facility at any time different lenders have different minimum amounts.

personalised illustration.

The mortgage and interest is then repaid. You can repay interest if you wish, either as a fixed monthly interest only repayment or opt for a plan where you can repay lump sums per annum on an ad hoc basis.

Another important issue is that some people believe that by releasing Equity that the compound interest that ‘Rolls up’ will erode all the remaining Equity in your home. I always complete a Property Growth Projection Versus the Interest Roll up so that my clients can see that this is NOT the case. You need to be very aware of fees. There are fees with any Equity Release product.

Lenders arrangement fee, (some lenders charge a fee, usually from £5 to £995 and this can be added to the mortgage)

Legal Fee you can use your own solicitors or we can recommend an Equity Release legal specialist, their role is to redeem any existing mortgage or secured loans, add the new mortgage details on to the Land Registry, arrange funds release, set the completion date and the Independent Legal Advice meeting at your home. Broker Fee, All Equity Release MUST be arranged through a Qualified ‘Equity Release’ Adviser. Broker fees can vary considerably. For example you will have seen on their TV adverts that Age Solutions and Age Partnership charge 2.25% and Responsible Equity Release £1690. So for example a £100,000 release would mean a broker fee of: Age Solutions/ Age Partnership = £2250.00, Responsible Equity Release = £1690
