Amazing opportunities to volunteer at four Dorset Arts Festivals Four of Dorset’s most popular summer festivals are looking for Volunteer Champions to lead a field survey force.

Dorchester Festival (May 22-26), B-Town Throwdown (June 6-8), b-side (September 5-14) and Inside Out Dorset (September 12-26) are each looking to recruit dedicated and enthusiastic Volunteer Champions, who’ll assist with a concerted effort to find out who comes to their festivals and why.

“This is a fantastic opportunity for people to help with some of Dorset’s most popular festival events and gain some valuable skills in the process. By finding out more about our audiences we can make future events even better” says Mark Tattersall, Artistic Director of Dorchester Festival.

The 11th biennial Dorchester Festival is run by Dorchester Arts will once again bring a world of music, dance, theatre, comedy and community arts to the county town.

B-Town Throwdown run by Pavilion Dance South West, is a three-day hip hop event in Bournemouth, packed full of performances, masterclasses and free outdoor events.

Multi media arts festival b-side is back again with its distinctive brand of specially commissioned artworks for unusual and often overlooked sites and spaces.

This year’s focus is the enchanting and sometimes mysterious Isle of Portland as artists invite the public to take another look at the familiar landscape.

With events planned across Dorset, including Poole, Bournemouth, Purbeck and along the South Dorset Ridgeway, Inside Out Dorset will bring large scale, site-specific performances to the county’s landscape.

There are opportunities for volunteers at all four festivals. To find out more potential helpers can go online to www.volunteeringdorset.org.uk or phone 01305 269214.

For further information on each organisation see: www.activateperformingarts.org.uk www.pdsw.org.uk www.b-side.org.uk www.dorchesterarts.org.uk

Here’s a new FUN page for you!

Where is Nellie?

Do you know the South of England? Can you recognise these places? These are just some of the sights that Nellie, the rather large Dorset Publications Campervan has travelled to in just the last month. The answers are at the bottom of the page so you can immediately see if you are right. Most are easy, but one or two maybe a challenge‌? Have a go and see how many places you know! You can also follow her...

Assessing and meeting patients’ needs Assessing the needs of our patients ensures that they receive the right individual care, support and treatment that they need. This includes everything from an initial assessment when they first come in to hospital to continual assessments throughout their whole hospital stay. We have made a number of improvements in assessing and meeting the needs of our patients.

Extended visiting We have extended the visiting times on our wards to benefit patients, families, friends and carers. We wanted to make visiting times less restrictive for those who may have previously been unable to see a friend or loved one.

The extended times (varying on wards from 1.307.30pm or 2-8pm) mean patients, visitors and carers have more opportunities to liaise with doctors, nurses and therapists about their care.

Families and carers are also able to assist patients at meal times if they wish to, with support from hospital staff. Protected mealtimes, aimed at ensuring patients can eat without being interrupted, still apply on hospital wards. Visitors are politely requested to respect this time unless they are supporting feeding.

Alison Pressage, Senior Nurse for the Elderly Care Directorate, said: “Patients may not always understand what their treatment entails, but having someone they know on hand to offer help and encouragement will no doubt aid their recovery and improve their morale, and ensure relevant family members are involved appropriately in the recovery plans.”

New plated meal service for patients Patients on our wards are now able to choose what they would like to eat just 90 minutes before it is served without the risk of their food of choice running out. Instead of food being served from catering trolleys on the wards, meals are now pre-plated in the hospital kitchens and stored in heated units before being delivered.

Ellen Bull, Deputy Director of Nursing at the hospital Trust, said mealtimes are a vital part of a patient’s recovery: “Trials with the new plated meal service were well received, and we are hoping that patients will review this improvement positively, ensuring meals provided are hotter and more timely.”

We have also expanded the number of volunteer meal time assistants who support our patients.

Bay nursing improves patient communication Bay-based nursing stations have been introduced on all of our medical and care of the elderly wards at the Royal Bournemouth Hospital providing a greater nurse presence and reducing patient anxiety.

The Southbourne Link

Bay nursing improves patient communication A nurse is allocated to each bay on the ward at the start of each shift. That nurse is responsible for the delivery of care to those patients (up to seven patients and supported by a health care assistant) for the duration of their shift.

The nursing stations are stocked with materials based on the acuity and needs of the patients on that bay.

This leads to more effective nursing by ensuring they have the right equipment to hand.

The nurse becomes the expert on those patients in that bay and is able to support doctors’ ward rounds.

They can provide more proactive, consistent and timely individual care and improved communication between staff, carers and families.

Staff nurse, Bridget Bush from Ward 17, said: “It has improved communication between staff and patients and is more efficient. I love it. It is simple but effective and has made such a difference.”

Did you know?

• Emergency patients being admitted to our Acute Medical Unit are now seeing a consultant physician within an average of five hours of their arrival, compared to 12 hours a year ago. The improvement in times is down to extending the week day working hours of consultants by a further three hours so they can continue to visit patients up to 10pm. This means more patients are seen and assessed earlier allowing staff to prioritise treatment.

• Preventing hospital acquired pressure ulcers is essential for the safety of our patients. we have launched a new prevention and management programme for all of our wards. Pressure Area Care Together (PACT) includes guidance for staff, monthly updates on the number of incidents as well as success stories, new initiatives and any training opportunities. We are providing additional wound care and pressure ulcer prevention training for ward staff and ward sisters are carrying out twice.

Talking about Wildlife...

Summer bird visitors Britain’s long coastline and mild summers make it an internationally important destination for the thousands of migrant birds making their journey from Africa to raise their young here in the summertime.

Many of the migrants are insectivores, and the northern latitudes provide a better chance of finding food, with less competition and longer days.

You don’t need to be an expert bird watcher to enjoy the spectacle of spring migration, and Dorset offers many opportunities to observe the new arrivals. Brownsea Island, situated in Poole Harbour, with its diverse geography of woodland, saltmarsh, heathland and reed beds is a haven for wildlife all year round. In the summer, hundreds of nesting common and sandwich terns populate the sheltered lagoon. They are a family of small to medium sized birds that feed on fish and insects, making dramatic dives into the water to catch their prey. The migrant terns make their way to Brownsea Island in April and May, in order to nest and raise their young families within a short season, and return to their wintering grounds in August and September. They nest in colonies and produce one annual brood only, often extremely vulnerable to predators such as crows and gulls. Being able to breed in the safety of the nature reserve is often vital to the survival of the young terns.

Brownsea Island, which is owned by the National Trust, will open to the public daily from end of March, Monday to Sunday, 10am to 5pm. In the meantime, or if you prefer to enjoy the nesting birds from the comfort of your own home, Dorset Wildlife Trust, along with Birds of Poole Harbour and National Trust manages a webcam on the Brownsea Island Lagoon. The webcam to watch birds on Brownsea Lagoon at any hours of day or night can be accessed on: www.dorsetwildlifetrust.org.uk/ webcam.html For more information about the reserve which is managed by Dorset Wildlife Trust on Brownsea island, visit: www.dorsetwildlifetrust.org.uk/ brownsea_island_reserve.html Niina Silvennoinen Sandwich Terns pair with chick Photo: Monique Vanstone

4. LOVE AND HELP CHILDREN Today’s children will become tomorrow’s civilization.

Bringing a child into the world today is a little bit like dropping one into a tiger’s cage. Children can’t handle their environment1 and they have no real resources. They need love and help to make it.

It is a delicate problem to discuss. There are almost as many theories on how to raise a child or not raise him as there are parents. Yet if one does it wrong much grief can result and one may even complicate his or her own later years. Some try to raise children the way they were themselves raised, others attempt the exact opposite, many hold to an idea that children should just be let grow on their own. None of these guarantee success.

The last method is based on a materialistic2 idea that the development of the child parallels the evolutionary3 history of the race; that in some magical way, unexplained, the “nerves” of the child will “ripen” as he or she grows older and the result will be a moral,4 well-behaving adult.

Although the theory is disproven with ease – simply by noticing the large criminal population whose nerves somehow did not ripen – it is a lazy way to raise children and achieves some popularity. It doesn’t take care of your civilization’s future or your older years.

A child is a little bit like a blank slate. If you write the wrong things on it, it will say the wrong things. But, unlike a slate, a child can begin to do the writing: the child tends to write what has been written already. The problem is complicated by the fact that, while most children are capable of great decency, a few are born insane and, today, some are even born as drug addicts: but such cases are an unusual few.

It does no good just to try to “buy” the child with an overwhelm of toys and possessions or to smother and protect the child: the result can be pretty awful.

One has to make up his mind what he is trying to get the child to become: this is modified by several things: (a) what the child basically can become due to inherent make-up and potential; (b) what the child really wants to become; (c) what one wants the child to become; (d) the resources available. But remember that whatever these all add up to, the child will not survive well unless he or she eventually becomes self-reliant and very moral.

Otherwise the end product is likely to be a liability to everyone including the child.

Whatever one’s affection for the child, remember that the child cannot survive well in the long run if he or she does not have his or her feet put on the way to survival. It will be no accident if the child goes wrong: the contemporary society is tailor-made for a child’s failure.

It will help enormously if you obtain a child’s understanding of and agreement to follow the precepts5 contained in this book.

What does have a workability is simply to try to be the child’s friend. It is certainly true that a child needs friends.

Try to find out what a child’s problem really is and, without crushing their own solutions, try to help solve them.

Observe them – and this applies even to babies. Listen to what children tell you about their lives. Let them help – if you don’t, they become overwhelmed with a sense of obligation6 which they then must repress.

It will help the child enormously if you obtain understanding of and agreement to this way to happiness and get him or her to follow it. It could have an enormous effect on the child’s survival – and yours.

A child factually does not do well without love. Most children have an abundance of it to return.

The way to happiness has on its route the loving and the helping of children from babyhood to the brink of adult life.

This is an excerpt from The Way to Happiness book, for information about this book and programs go to www.twth.org 1. environment: one’s surroundings; the material things around one; the area one lives in; the living things, objects, spaces and forces with which one lives whether close to or far away.

2. materialistic: the opinion that only physical matter exists.

3. evolutionary: related to a very ancient theory that all plants and animals developed from simpler forms and were shaped by their surroundings rather than being planned or created.

4. moral: able to know right from wrong in conduct; deciding and acting from that understanding.

5. precepts: rules or statements advising or laying down a principle or principles or a course of action regarding conduct; directions meant as a rule or rules for conduct.

6. obligation: the condition or fact of owing another something in return for things, favors or services received. © 2014 DORSET PUBLICATIONS. All Rights Reserved.

Family Fun on Museums at Night in Dorchester The evening of Saturday 17th May is a very special one in Dorchester as it is when all six of the town’s museums plus two other heritage attractions join together for Museums at Night. It’s a fantastic night out for all the family.

Dorchester is probably unique as a town in having so many magnificent museums – The Dinosaur Museum, The Tutankhamun Exhibition, The Dorset County Museum, The Teddy Bear Museum, The Keep Military Museum, and The Terracotta Warriors Museum.

These are joined on Museums at Night by the Roman Town House and Max Gate.

Entry to all 8 heritage attractions in Dorchester is only £10 for a family of 2 adults and up to 4 children for the evening, when bought in advance.

Museums at Night Tickets for this fantastic value family night out can be purchased at any of the participating museums, the Dorchester Tourist Information Centre and Max Gate from April onwards. Tickets can be bought on the night but cost £12.

Museums at Night really does offer

something for everyone whatever your interest. So whether its Tutankhamun or Romans, Thomas Hardy or teddy bears, dinosaurs or Dorchester’s local history, the Dorsetshire Regiment or terracotta warriors of a much earlier age, its there to be explored. On Museums at Night you can visit some or all of these for an extraordinary low price. New for this year is a Museums at Night Trail where all those who follow the trail, find the answers to the clues and solve the puzzle will be entered in a prize draw.

Museums at Night is on the evening of Saturday 17th May from 5pm to 9pm when all six of Dorchester’s museums and the Roman Town House will be open specially to visit. Max Gate will again be open between 3.30pm and 5.30pm as part of a Museums at Night special preview package.

The Museums at Night ticket is just £10 and admits a family to all 8 heritage attractions on the evening of Saturday 17th May. This great price entitles up to a family of 2 adults and 4 children to visit when purchased in advance. Tickets can also be bought on the night at £12.

Recipe

Tastes so good...

SLOW COOKED CHICKEN TIKKA MASALA

One of the many great advantages of the slow cooker is that there’s no need to marinate dishes that normally require it. This gentle lengthy cook enables flavors to develop and mingle together naturally during the lengthy cook. This is wonderful to come back to after a hard day at work or play.

Ingredients:

Equipment: Processor

4 chicken breasts, cubed 2cm fresh ginger root, peeled and grated 3 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed 1 small red chili, chopped and deseeded 1 teaspoon ground coriander 2 teaspoons garam masala 1 red bell pepper, deseeded and cut into chunks 1 medium sized onion, peeled and chopped 2 tablespoons sunflower oil 1 can plum peeled tomatoes 2 tablespoons tomato puree 100ml creme fraiche, or sour cream Good handful of fresh coriander, finely chopped ( garnish)

Method: In a processor place the ginger, garlic, chili, ground coriander, garam masala, red bell pepper, onion and sunflower oil.

Process until you achieve a paste.

Put the chicken in a bowl and add the paste. Stir and coat each chunk of chicken in the mixture.

Mix the tomato puree with the canned tomatoes.

Place the chicken into the crock pot and pour the tomato mixture over the top.

Cook on a medium heat for 4 -5 hours until the chicken is beautifully tender and succulent When ready to serve gently stir in the creme fraiche whilst still in the slow cooker and serve on a bed of wild rice, garnished with the chopped coriander.

Adventures of Nellie

The Adventures of Nellie The Dorset Publications Camper Van Well I do laugh about Nellie, the Dorset Publication’s Campervan and her long black skirts to cover up her rather large thighs, but these machines really are something else! Nellie looked small and rather overshadowed by the imposing façade of these rather sinister, and very powerful looking vehicles. The Tank Museum at Bovington, is quite incredible! www.tankmuseum.org It was our fi rst visit. Harry came with us, a good friend of Hayden’s and much to Hayden’s excitement. Off we went.

Boys in the back playing on DS’s and then opening the game’s cupboard (strategically placed next to the back seat), and taking out the “not allowed to say yes or no” game. It was fun listening to them trying to catch each other out, laughing away, whilst we were driving along. As there is a table in front of the back seat it so much easier to play a game, even whilst driving.

So we arrived at the Tank Museum around 11.30am on Saturday morning. It was pretty busy which was great. In fact we had picked a weekend when the army

Eeek... It’s bigger than I am!

barracks were having a “Family Weekend” and the fairly new recruits were showing all their relatives where they lived, what they did on training etc. We were even treated to a demonstration in full combat uniform and a fast moving tank later in the day. This is separate to the Tank Museum, but right there in the arena just in front of the museum building.

In front of the Mark IV WW1 tank The museum itself is enormous! There are so many tanks and displays we didn’t get to see all of them, so it is a good excuse to go back. One of the first things we did was walk through a mock up of the First World War trenches. It was realistic, dark and with sound effects that really gave you a feel for how hard life was for the soldiers. We then sat in a first World War Tank, the Mark IV. This is the only place on Earth that you can go into a First World War tank, so it is pretty special! The volunteer guide was brilliant and told us about the heat, 65 degrees plus, with red hot pistons sizzling. Where was health and safety in those days? The maximum

29 29 speed was a mere 4 miles an hour. It was difficult to imagine being stuck in one of those, whilst being fired at constantly.

In the driving seat of the Mark IV WW1 tank!

We were then educated about life during the Second World War. We even sat in an air raid shelter with full sound effects of bombs dropping nearby. What an experience! Harry did look a little apprehensive at this point, and I can well understand. Again the guide was excellent, showing us gas masks of the time and painting the picture of a life then.

If any students are doing projects on war and how life was, this would be ideal. The museum gives a very realistic experience that you cannot get from books alone.

On that note, there is a display of a camp in Afghanistan and this I personally found extremely moving. Again it is realistic and you really do get the feeling of how life might be for the soldiers. There is also a board full of people’s signatures who have been to Afghanistan as well as some names of soldiers who have lost their lives and are no longer with us. This was hard hitting.

Hayden and Harry made their own game, which I was impressed with. They ran around trying to fi nd the heaviest and fastest tank on display. Boys being boys made it a competition to see who could

The Southbourne Link

beat the other one and find it the first.

The tank museum is such a sturdy, huge place, it was totally fine for them to go off and play this game. Don’t tell Harry’s parents but I did ‘lose’ them for a few minutes and did wonder how long it may take to find them amongst the masses of tanks on display. Fortunately they wanted some sweets, so finding me was of benefit to them… Actually both were extremely well behaved and I had no worries whatsoever. So the day was enlightening, educational, impressive and emotional all at the same time. All of the Tank Museum volunteers have a wealth of data to give you and there is much to see and experience. I recommend you go, if you haven’t already. It reminds us that life is for living…

We did of course have our customary picnic in Nellie with a cuppa as you can see here.

Time for a cuppa after all that...

Where will Nellie go next…?

New ‘Made for iPhone’ hearing aid is going to revolutionise life of Dorset’s hearing impaired Apple’s proprietary wireless streaming technology is being utilised by the new ReSound LiNX™ hearing aid, which is now available in Dorset. It allows users to control their hearing aid and stream audio directly from an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. ReSound has also developed an app letting the wearer directly control their hearing aid as never before.

This Made for iPhone hearing aid is now available from Clarity Hearing Solutions, in Christchurch and Verwood.

“Via the app the hearing aid’s settings can be modified through the iPhone or iPad,” comments Simon Cowell, hearing aid audiologist at Clarity Hearing Solutions. “You can adjust volume, treble, bass etc to suit specific environments – your favourite restaurant or Cafe, watching a match at the Goldsands stadium, at work in the office, or at home - ReSound Smart app’s ‘geo-tagging’ feature will remember these adjustments when you return to that location. It knows where you are and what you require.”

Phone calls are streamed direct to the hearing aid – so there are no distractions or background noise. If the wearer is using their iPhone or iPod touch to find their way around then the turn-by-turn directions also come directly through to the aids.

For music lovers and film buffs this hearing aid can be used as state-of-the-art headphones by streaming the wearer’s favourite music or film track direct from the Apple device.

And if the aid is lost then the app enables you to use the iPhone to locate it – by homing in on the device.

The direct Bluetooth® Smart connectivity (that enables the data exchange between the aid and Apple device) means that the ReSound LiNX™ aid wearer does not need to carry a separate remote control unit. This makes hearing aid usage and control more discrete and less cumbersome.

ReSound LiNX, the world’s smartest hearing aid, combines the best in hearing aid technology with the latest in iPhone functionality – to produce the only hearing aid that can come close to describing itself as ‘cool’.

Places to visit

New Park Keeper Joins Moors Valley Team A family trail based on the popular ‘Percy the Park Keeper’ books by Nick Butterworth is set to become the newest addition to Moors Valley Country Park and Forest near Ringwood this year, offering a host of fun outdoor activities. There will even be the chance to follow in Percy’s footsteps by entering an online competition to become a Park Keeper for the day.

The engaging stories revolve around the adventures of Percy, a kindhearted park keeper, and his many animal friends, including a badger, owl, fox, rabbit, hedgehog and lots of mice. They are a firm favourite with children and parents alike, and instantly recognisable from both the books and the Percy the Park Keeper animated television series.

Education Ranger Tracy Standish said “We love the friendly characters in Nick’s wonderful stories and are looking forward to bringing them to life at Moors Valley.

We hope this fun family trail will also help show visitors what our Rangers do to look after our Park for both people and wildlife.”

The trail card, costing £2

each, will include a range of multiple choice questions and a variety of interesting activities including making an animal home, spotting the bird and finding mini-beasts. It will appeal particularly to younger children and is available daily from 5th April until 28th September 2014.

The online competition will offer the chance for a family of four to be Park Keepers for the day, in addition to receiving an annual season ticket for Moors Valley and a wheelbarrow full of goodies.

For further details visit the website www.moors-valley.co.uk/events or contact the Rangers on 01425 470721.

on your Gardening Tips

PLOT

April showers to October fun Now is the time for April showers and with the weather warming up all the time and some gentle rain you’ll soon be seeing lots of changes on your veggie plot.

Its wonderful to see the first fresh, local, asparagus appear for sale this month and if you’ve a bit of space spare on your plot now’s the time to plant this gourmet crop.

Buy one year old crowns and plant them immediately into well drained soil. You should be able to take a small harvest next year and they’ll carry on cropping for up to 20 years!

Jobs for April:Keep an eye out for late frosts and cover any vulnerable plants.

Harden off indoor sowings before planting out.

Start off French beans and Brussels Sprouts under cover.

Fancy something a bit more exotic? Try growing some peppers and aubergines - sow this month in a greenhouse or polytunnel.

Plant an asparagus bed.

Earth up potatoes once the first shoots appear.

It’s a time when any indoor space, be it greenhouse, cold frame, or just window sills, is likely to be filling rapidly with young seedlings.

If you are thinking of planting some of your seedlings out then don’t forget to harden them off first. You can move the pots outside each morning, bringing them in at night to gradually acclimatise them to the change.

Do remember too that late frosts can still happen in April, damaging plants that are unprotected.

Watch the weather forecast and if there’s any danger of frost then use fleece or cloches to protect plants where necessary.

On the subject of cloches, save any empty plastic bottles that you may have. Cut the bottom off and you are left with a wonderful mini cloche to protect seedlings that are recently planted out. Push the plastic down into the soil firmly and it will keep off not only some of the chill but also any slugs that may have their eye on tasty young leaves.

Are you a fan of Halloween?

Pumpkins can be quite expensive come the end of October and then there’s always the hunt for one just the right size. Why not have a go at growing one (or several!) of your own this year? Pumpkins need a long, growing season to ripen well so now is the time to start them off. There’s lots of different varieties, including some

giant ones if you want something really impressive to carve. Look out on the packets for ones that are early ripening for the best chances of success.

Pumpkin seeds are huge so it’s easy to sow just one to each pot. I’d sow at least 3 plants, if they all germinate and mature it’ll probably be more than you need (they can take a lot of room as they grow) but it’s better to have spare in case you loose some early on - if they all grow well you can always pass one on to a friend or neighbour and have a competition to see who gets the biggest pumpkin! You’ll need to keep your young plant inside until all risk of frost has passed. When it comes time to plant the pumpkin out it will like lots of nutrients in the soil. Dig out a large hole and put in lots of well rotted compost - or you can even plant your pumpkin straight on top of an old compost heap. They’ll bloom with wonderfully exotic looking, huge yellow flowers and it’s wise to consider removing the growing tip once three fruit have set as this will give a better chance for larger, riper, pumpkins.

Support the growing fruits on a bed of straw to avoid them dropping off or becoming mushy.

Are you enjoying purple spouting broccoli at the moment? You can buy summer varieties to plant now, or try Calbrese (this has the green heads) which is best planted straight into the beds where they will grow.

Money Saving Tips

Martin

LEWIS Savings Masterclass

Far too many people think "savings rates are so low, why bother doing anything?” Yet, while rates are indeed spitworthily low, don’t be complacent. Active, on-the-ball savers can grab up to 6% interest. So I want to give you a rate -boosting masterclass. The aim's to put every penny where it earns the max interest. Many specialist higher-rate accounts only let you pay in limited amounts for short amounts of time. So if you've big savings, you need to fill them up, then snowball on to the next best, and so on. Don’t overly worry about safety. All UK-regulated savings (which all the accounts below are) have the full £85,000 per person, per financial institution savings safety protection. Yet that’s not a reason to just put money in and forget about it. Monitor rates every few months and if they drop, ditch and switch.

First, clear expensive debts. The highest guaranteed return for savings comes from clearing expensive debts, starting with the highest rates. If your debts cost more than your savings earn after tax, clear what you can and you’re onto a winner. This applies to mortgages too, unless you’ve early repayment penalties. Though with a mortgage, always have a cash emergency fund in savings before clearing it.

Earn 6% AER in a regular saver, PLUS free £100 The highest rate on the market is a regular savings account, but it's only available to new or existing Firstdirect.com current account customers. Though as First Direct's won every customer service poll I've ever done and currently offers £100 to switch to it, that's still an attractive proposition. Its 6% regular saver lets you put up to £300 a month away for a year and the rate's fixed. HSBC.co.uk customers get 4% AER on a similar product, while anyone can get the LeedsBuildingSociety.co.uk regular saver at 3.05% AER. Full info and more best buys at mse.me/regularsaver Use current accounts to get 5% AER easy access I always used to say “never store cash in current accounts, as you earn nothing". While that still holds true in the main, bizarrely, these days a few bank accounts offer super-high interest rates to draw you in. The highest is Nationwide's FlexDirect (www.nationwide.co.uk/flexdirect) at 5% AER, but you only get this rate for a year, and only on balances up to £2,500. The stand-out deal's Santander 123's (www.santander.com) 3% AER on all savings if you've £3k£20k. It has a £2/month fee, but pays up to 3% cashback on bills. Weigh up if you'll earn more than the fee before switching. With both, you need to properly switch to them.

Full info, pros and cons at mse.me/bankaccounts Is an Isa nicer? Up to 1.75% AER tax-free A cash Isa's just a savings account where the taxman doesn't

remove 20% or 40% of your interest. You can put £5,760 in each tax year, and it remains tax-free year after year until you withdraw it. It's a no-brainer. Don't think you're locking the cash away - the top easy access deal is from postoffice.co.uk at 1.8% AER on £100+, with two penalty-free withdrawals allowed each tax year. This allows you to transfer old Isas into it as well to boost their rates. The rate includes a bonus for 18 months, so it'll almost certainly plummet after. Make a note in your diary to ditch and transfer. Full best buys and Isa FAQs at www.mse.me/isas.

Lock in for up to 2.57% AER If you’re prepared to lock cash away without access, you can earn more in a fix. Yet it's worth noting many pundits predict UK rates will rise in 2015. So today's best rates may not look so good if you lock in for too long. These are the current top fixed deals for both normal savings and cash Isas. They change daily – latest rates are at mse.me/fixedsavings One-year fixed savings: United Bank 1.9% (www.ubluk.com).

One-year cash Isa fix: Britannia 1.85% (britannia.co.uk) Two-year fixed savings: United Bank 2.28% (www.ubluk.com). Two-year cash Isa fix: Post Office 2.25% (www.postoffice.co.uk) Three-year fixed savings: Bank of Cyprus 2.57% (www.bankofcyprus.co.uk). Three-year cash Isa fix: Virgin Money 2.4% (virginmoney.com) Check your local credit union too Credit unions are local savings and loans co-ops. Some have deals that beat the market's best buys, such as 3% savings, 2.15% AER one-year fixes and 2.5% easy-access cash Isas. They're very localised, so whether you can get these deals depends on where you live or work. Locate ones near you at www.findyourcreditunion.co.uk.

1.5% AER standard easy access savings If you’ve any left, the final option's a normal easy access savings account. The top payers are www.tescobank.com and www.icicibank.co.uk at 1.5% AER, although Tesco's account includes a bonus rate for the first year, so it's likely to plummet afterwards. If you’ve big cash, as you’re only protected up to £85,000 per institution, split the cash into different institutions.

If you're prepared to up the risk a little, it's worth looking at peer-to-peer savings, which can pay up to 6%. Here your money's lent to someone who wants to borrow it, via online financial matchmakers such as zopa.com, fundingcircle.com and ratesetter.com. This can be lucrative, but it has its risks, though the sites try to mitigate them. For full info, read mse.me/peertopeer.
