Hi there, Welcome to our February edition The 2nd month of the year is here! I don’t know about all of you but 2018 is looking pretty good so far. Touch wood, it continues in the same fashion. To anyone who’s had a tough start I really hope it turns around for you soon! To start on a bit of bleak note, this months magazine includes an article to help people report animal abuse. We had a very horrible story from one of our readers in Canvey Island and have decided to include this article to help anyone else in a similar situation. Towards the back of the magazine there is Meet Your Local Business article about two of our local advertisers which includes Colin Miles design this month.
In this month’s kids quiz you have the chance to win a Paddington Bear 2 DVD. Remember you’ve got to be in it to win it! Last month’s quiz winner was Karen Sydney from Ganels Road who won the Pirates of the Caribbean DVD! If you would like to advertise with us, the last day to get your advert in is 18th February. We can design your ad for Free and a Month’s Advertising to 20,000 homes costs from as little as £60.

We receive a call for help approximately every 30 seconds. Some situations that may appear distressing are not against the law. In their daily work our inspectors have to prioritise cases where the law is actually being broken. Call us on 0300 1234 999 to report cruelty or an animal in distress. The call will cost the same as any call to a UK landline number. You will be asked a variety of questions to ensure that your call is prioritised according to its urgency. Please note, during busier periods your call may be placed in queue.
REPORT ANIMAL CRUELTY Recently we received an email from a concerned reader in Canvey Island about an unfortunate incident they had to bare witness to whilst out on her travels in the local area. Whilst passing a local park in Canvey Island she saw a local man walking his dog and with out going into too much details causing physical distress to the animal. Absolutely horrified by the attack she tried to let the man know she was witnessing this brutality but it didnt seem to stop him. After this she selflessly wrote to us and asked the magazing if we could publish an article letting local people know exactly what to do if anyon else was to witness such a thing. Here is what we were able to pull from the RSPCA’s website. Please take these matters very seriously and if you need to find out more information please check their website or ask the RSPCA for advice. and by no means deal with these matters your self. Reporting cruelty or an animal in distress If you need to report cruelty or an animal in distress there is certain information we need to investigate. Please read our reporting cruelty checklist for further information.
What happens next? We prioritise all calls and online reports of cruelty and injured animals to us according to their severity and urgency. Due to the high volume of calls we receive and our limited resources we aren’t always able to respond in the way that would be ideal or as quickly as the emergency services can with more resources. Please be patient. If you’re concerned the situation is worsening, please contact us again.

Cloudy2Clear Announce Trusted Trader Partnership Consumer champions Which? have now joined the thousands of customers who recognise that Cloudy2Clear Windows really are a business that you can TRUST. The company which specialises in repairing windows which are steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing the panes – not the frames has received the coveted ‘Which Trusted Trader’ status after going through a rigorous accreditation process entirely focussed on customer service. Group Managing Director Marcus McGee believes that Which? have endorsed Cloudy2Clear’s long standing company
policy of delivering the highest standards possible at all times. ‘Our service is simple. If your double glazing has misted up we can replace the glass at a fraction of the cost of a new window, in any type of frame, and with a new 25 year guarantee. But it’s not just about saving people money, although that obviously helps. Whilst a number of tradespeople perhaps don’t focus on customer care as much as they should do, we make sure we turn up when we say we will, do the job the customer requires and leave their house as clean as a whistle. Locally Cloudy2Clear service Billericay, Basildon Wickford & Langdon Hills
and manager Chris Miller agrees that this approach is a major factor in his success. ‘The truth is that it’s not just the personal satisfaction that I get from doing a good job but also it makes good business sense. I get a huge amount of business from friends and family of people I’ve done work for, which just goes to show how much a little bit of effort is appreciated as both my customers and, obviously a body as nationally important as Which? now recognise.’ So, if your windows are steamed up, broken or damaged give Chris a call for a free quotation on 0800 61 21 118 and he’ll be happy to help!

THE DANNY GREEN FUND CHARITY
wonderful to be able to bring joy to so many over this festive period. The charity would like to thank everyone who so kindly donated a gift and helped to spread so much joy.
For the past 6 years The Danny Green Fund have been taking donations of toys to Great Ormond Street Hospital, Southend Hospital, Basildon Hospital, Queens Hospital, Romford and Little Havens Hospice for children who sadly have to spend time in hospital over Christmas. 2017 saw the largest donation of toys to the charity since we started doing these special Christmas deliveries in 2012.
The charity also provides yearly Christmas breaks away for children suffering from PFS to give them some family time away to make special memories at this special time of year. This year 4 children were able to spend much needed family time at Centre Parcs Winter Wonderland having fun and spending much needed time away from hospital.
Well over 1,000 gifts were received and enabled the charity to also deliver gifts to Broomfield Hospital and the Sick Children’s Trust in London for the first time. It was magical to see the children’s eyes light up when they saw the gifts and the parents were extremely grateful to everyone who so kindly donated a gift. It can be very isolating being in hospital over Christmas but it is
The Danny Green Fund is a family run local registered charity helping children who have been diagnosed with disabilities as the result of a brain tumour and a condition called Posterior Fossa Syndrome ( PFS). Our aim to help the children to recover from the symptoms of PFS by providing vital therapies to help them to become more independent and to achieve their aim of walking unaided once again.
This year Danny’s dad and a team of 27 friends will be cycling from Paris to Canvey Island in 4 days staring on 25th May 2018 to help raise much needed funds to provide these therapies to help these children and teenagers recovery. If you would like to help any of the team with their fundraising please go to www. justgiving.com/companyteams/ paris2canvey. The Danny Green Fund are also looking for companies to sponsor the team cycling shirts for which you would receive recognition on the shirts along with on our social media sites and web site. For further information please contact the charity. If you would like to fundraise with us please email us at info@ thedannygreenfund.org.uk or follow us on facebook for upcoming events and to see the progress being made by the children we support. With your help we are changing lives and are supporting families through the most challenging of times.

GOOD NEWS ABOUT TREE PRESERVATION ORDERS Here at Branches Tree Services we get asked a lot about TPO (tree preservation order) on trees. Some people seem to think that if a tree has got a tpo that you can’t cut it or do any type of work on it. This is not true. Branches Tree Services we work closely with all councils & are always willing to help to fill out forms concerning trees with TPO’s. 1. First if you have any suspicion that your tree may be protected you can ring or email your council to find out explaining where & what species of tree it is. 2. Once identified it has got a tpo on the tree you can then ask for a form to submit to carry out the work needed on the tree from the council. This is now a good time to consult an arborist qualified tree surgeon. 3. We would do a free site visit to give you advice & recommend what work can be carried out on the tree. Fill out all the relevant forms & act as an agent for you. 4. The whole process usually takes 4-6 weeks & once applied for the work can be carried out in the next two years. The council will also provide you with clarification by letter saying permission granted to carry out the work. 5. It is paramount that you find out if you have any suspicion that a tree you have in your gardens is covered by a TPO. As there are huge fines involved in doing work on trees with out consent. 6. If you need any help advice on any issue concerning Tree Preservation Orders please contact us on 01268-417778 07861-957186 Branches Tree Services.

FIFTY SHADES FREED
MOVIE PREVIEW Release Date: 09/02/18
Fifty Shades Freed is the third and final installment of the erotic romance Fifty Shades Trilogy by British author E. L. James. After accepting entrepreneur CEO Christian Grey’s proposal in Fifty Shades Darker, Anastasia Steele must adjust not only to married life but to her new husband’s wealthy lifestyle and controlling nature. It is the final film in the Fifty Shades trilogy, and a sequel to Fifty Shades of Grey (2015) and Fifty Shades Darker (2017). The film stars Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan as Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey, respectively. Principal photography on Fifty Shades Freed began simultaneously with Darker on February 9, 2016, in Paris and Vancouver. It is set to be released in the UK on February 9, 2018. The film will have an IMAX release. Believing they have left behind shadowy figures from their past, newlyweds Christian and Ana fully embrace an inextricable connection and shared life of luxury. But just as she steps into her role as Mrs. Grey and he relaxes into an unfamiliar stability, new threats could jeopardize their happy ending before it even begins. Ana's life is threatened when her former boss, Jack Hyde, swears revenge for being fired from SIP. Elena also returns to haunt Christian and makes the couple's lives a lot more troublesome.

WORKING TOGETHER FOR A SAFER BOROUGH
Basildon • Billericay • Wickford • Pitsea • Laindon
CRUCIAL CREW IS UNDERWAY: The first Crucial Crew event of 2018 was successfully delivered on Wednesday 10 January.
COMMUNITY SAFETY SURVEY: Every three years Basildon CSP writes a Strategy that sets out how partners will work together to focus on specific community safety priorities.
Crucial Crew is an interactive programme aimed at engaging with young people and delivering important community safety messages to pupils who will be moving from junior school to secondary school.
The priorities are identified through a Strategic Assessment that uses partner data to understand the patterns and trends relating to crime, disorder, anti-social behaviour and community safety issues.
Continuing to build on the successful events delivered in previous years the programme includes the delivery of 16 half day sessions with three workshops each lasting 35 minutes, covering gangs, grooming and healthy relationships.
The CSP will be launching a public survey in the next few weeks to capture residents’ views on the identified priorities and will use the information to inform allocation of resources and determine effective activity going forward.
Last year’s feedback highlighted that 99% of pupils rated the event as either ‘excellent’ or ‘good’. One comment received from a pupil was “I can’t think of anything to make this better, it was awesome”.
The online survey will be promoted across the Borough, we encourage all residents to complete the survey and have their say.
Year on year the feedback from pupils and teachers identifies that Crucial Crew is extremely well received, evidencing a continued commitment of local primary schools to engage in the project.
Follow us on twitter @BasildonCSP for more information.
