LEWIS-MANNING’S ‘SIMPLY FABULOUS’ 30TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATORY EVENT REACHES ITS FUNDRAISING TARGET
A celebratory event, entitled ‘Simply Fabulous’, was held to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Lewis-Manning Hospice Care and was part of a year-long calendar of activities, organised by the hospice.
Held and hosted at St Giles House in Wimborne St Giles, the event successfully raised funds to go towards recruiting another Lewis-Manning Hospice Care Staff Nurse to support patients and continue to provide extraordinary care in the local community.
The spectacular evening was MC’d by AFC Bournemouth’s Jimmy Glass, and participants took part in a Heads & Tails game, followed by a silent and live auction, which sold off an impressive array of prizes, including a Porsche Driving Experience at

Chief Executive Clare Gallie advised, “It was such a superb evening, filled with so much fun and a wonderful gathering of our supporters from over the past 30 years. We are hugely grateful to everyone involved, from our sponsors, to staff , to volunteers to attendees.”
LOCAL HOSPICE FINALLY WELCOMES BACK PUBLIC TO TIE A YELLOW RIBBON
The garden at Forest Holme Hospice in Poole was brightened by beautiful yellow ribbons last week, as it welcomed visitors back for its annual Tie A Yellow Ribbon event during Hospice Awareness Month.
Tie A Yellow Ribbon is a special event of reflection and thanksgiving that takes place each year in June and gives people the opportunity to make a personal dedication on a ribbon, irrespective of whether their loved ones attended the hospice. Each symbolic ribbon is yellow, which is a colour commonly associated with the hospice movement, which are displayed in the hospice garden throughout the summer.
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic Forest Holme has not been able to host the event for the past two years, so the hospice charity was delighted to be able to welcome back supporters, who through making donations with their dedications, helped raise over £4,000 to help support the provision of palliative and end-of-life care for people across Poole, Wimborne and the Isle of Purbeck.

MARWELL ZOO ANNOUNCE THE ARRIVAL OF CLOUDED LEOPARDS
Marwell Zoo is thrilled to announce the arrival of a sibling pair of vulnerable Clouded Leopards to the zoo.
Clouded Leopards are great climbers and are native to Asia inhabiting the rain forests of Indonesia, the Himalayas in Nepal and parts of mainland South East Asia. They can be quite shy and love densely packed vegetation so guests may need to be quiet and patient when visiting in order to spot them. Taevey and Kanya (both females) are making themselves at home opposite the entrance to Wild Explorers.

GIVING LOCAL COUNCILS STRONGER POWERS TO TACKLE THE WORST OFFENDING LANDLORDS
The recently announced Fairer Private Rented Sector White Paper is part of Housing Secretary Michael Gove’s levelling up reforms.
The White Paper will now be thrashed out by industry representatives of both Landlords and Tenants, ensuring confidence for Landlords and secure living for Tenants.
“Debbie Boyes, Director of Fleur Lettings and Willowlace Ltd Mortgage Brokers, (and a Landlord herself) says “Whilst we still need to see the detail, we welcome some of the proposals. For example, the Private Renters Ombudsman should provide a quicker and cheaper resolution to situations which currently need to go through a long, contentious and expensive Court process.”
Debbie continues “ Good Landlords should not panic about these changes; Landlords who own poor quality properties and act unscrupulously however, will need to be concerned. Now more than ever Landlords need a really good Letting Agent as part of their professional advisory team.”
Debbie and her Team are well versed in regulatory change as they have navigated this time and again in the mortgage market. “We are extremely comfortable with handling regulatory change and are well placed to react quickly and efficiently for our Landlords and with the additional support of our Mortgage Brokers, our Landlords are well placed to remain comfortably in the Rental Market.”
