COMMENT

CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME

hen people say 'Charity begins at home' they very often mean 'You should look after your own kids, family and own circle first and then be kind to people' which is not the original meaning of the proverb. The original meaning is that charity begins in the home - that is to say kids learn charity in the home. Many studies have found that happiness and a sense of fulfillment comes more from helping others and putting others ahead of yourself, along with a sense of gratitude, than from wealth or possessions. In other words, being charitable is one of the secrets to a “good” life, and the idea of charity beginning at home has less to do with taking care of your own needs, and more to do with teaching your children

about how to give to others. In this issue there are always charities who will be grateful of your support. From St Catherine’s Hospice looking for brave soles to come forward for their second Firewalk on page 18 to the Parkinson’s Choir asking you to buy their Christmas single on page 30. Southwater sets a very standard for supporting charities as epitomised by the culmination of the HeART to Heart campaign on page 12 when an amazing £50,000 was raised for the 26 heart sculptures. This is the season of giving and the tremendous example set by the community will stand the children of the area in very good stead. Richard Milbourn, Editor E: editor@carnahpublications.com

NEW DISCOVERY TRAIL OPENED

arnham Local Nature Reserve’s latest attraction was officially declared open on Friday 1 November with the help of woodland celebrity The Gruffalo. The Reserve’s new Discovery Trail, designed for visitors of all ages, follows the paths and boardwalks that surround the Reserve’s millpond. It is packed with information about the wildlife, flora and fauna that call the Reserve home. There are stories from the site’s history as well as a host of fun facts designed to appeal to all ages. Our younger visitors have the chance to become ‘Junior Trail Detectives’ by completing the trail, finding six hidden rubbing plates and completing the quizzes and puzzles all aimed at providing a fun introduction to the life on the Reserve and inspiring the next generation to learn about how to protect it. Additionally, as part of the Trail there are two special new sculptures: the Bat Bothy and the TriHelix which were both created as part of the Horsham District Year of Culture 2019 ‘Field Notes from Warnham’ project, leaving a lasting legacy of the year of celebrations. The Discovery Trail forms an initial part of a larger project – the Discovery Hub Project which is being partly funded by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development who support investment in public recreational infrastructure. The Discovery Hub and the creation of a Shelley themed garden at the entrance to the Reserve will be opened in 2020.

DECEMBER 2019

With a long history of being biodiversity rich, Warnham Local Nature Reserve is one of the most significant sites in the county for wildlife and flora. The Sussex Biodiversity Record Centre positions the Reserve in third place in terms of being species rich due to the wide range of habitats that are nurtured there.

Chris Primett, Managing Director, said, “St. Catherine’s has been our company’s charity for over 10 years and many of our employees have a special connection with their unique work. This heart is in special memory of one of our colleagues, who recently lost his fight with cancer, and the years he spent designing products to help improve the lives of others. The heart will take pride of place in our office for everyone to enjoy.” As part of the evening, bidders heard from Wendy Buckingham, whose husband Ken was cared for by St Catherine’s. She shared the impact of the hospice’s care on her family and asked people to bid as generously as possible. And bidders were in safe hands with experienced auctioneer, Hugh Edmeades. Hugh said, “I’ve led hundreds of auctions but it was wonderful to be a part of something that has clearly meant so much to the local community. Each of the hearts had its own story to tell and I’m thrilled that we were able to raise so much money for such a worthy cause.” Hannah Liles, St Catherine’s Events Manager said, “HeART to Heart has been an incredibly special project

The second tranche of funds is now open to applications until 31 December 2019. Once all funding is allocated, the programme will be suspended, so we are dealing with applications on a first come, first served basis. Commenting on the funds available, Horsham District Council Cabinet Member for the Local Economy Cllr Paul Clarke said: “The Council’s 2017 and 2018 LEAP funding

schemes were highly successful, supporting more than 60 local businesses who benefitted from cash injections to enable them to grow. The first round of the 2019 programme supported 38 local businesses with a grant. “I encourage local businesses and entrepreneurs wanting to start their own business to apply for funds now whilst they are still available.” Businesses applying must be based in Horsham District and be registered with HMRC and/or Companies House.

CROWDFUNDING FOR CHILDREN’S PARADE After the huge success of Horsham Children's Parade 2019, the organisers are determined to make the magic happen again in 2020!

n July this year, the parade saw more than 700 children from 17 district schools showcase their ‘Art & Artist’ inspired creations through the streets of Horsham to the delight of hundreds of spectators. A truly fun community experience, it was a joyous spectacle of colourful costumes, giant models, upbeat music and imaginative dance enjoyed by all. It’s hardly surprising then that more than 20 district schools and other youth groups have already registered to take part in 2020. More than just a parade, the event also aims to provide the wider community, who are not participating in the main event, with the opportunity to get creative – be that painting at an easel, making a mask or modelling some clay. One way they want to do this is by delivering a range of creative activities in their special large-scale marquee at the parade end in Horsham Park. Aleida Strowger, Director of Happy Accidents CIC, the not-for-profit arts organisation behind the parade, says: “We're seeking funding for the parade itself through sponsorship and grants, but we’d love

DECEMBER 2019

some support from the people of Horsham District to deliver the community marquee so that we can put on a mini exhibition and some fun creative activities for the whole community in Horsham Park after the parade. In 2019 the marquee was part of the ever-popular Funday Sunday, run by Rotary Club of Horsham and we’re very much hoping that we’ll be able to team up again in 2020. As part of our West Sussex Crowd crowdfunding campaign, we have applied for the West Sussex County Council’s Community Initiative Fund, which is in place to support projects like this. Before they allocate any funding however, they need to know that the projects they support have community support too. The campaign is already doing really well, but we still need more support – the more pledges we get from the public, the more likely it is that the project will receive funding.” If you’d like to support this worthwhile project, head over to West Sussex Crowd (www.spacehive.com/horsham-children-s-parade2020) to pledge a donation before November 30th. Donations start from as little as £2.

THE HEAT IS ON FOR FIREWALK

t Catherine's Hospice is getting ready to heat up Horsham with its second ever Firewalk! Now, the local charity is looking for brave soles to come forward and face the flames to raise funds for terminally ill people in their community. St Catherine's is looking for 100 or more fearless fundraisers to put their bravery to the test and walk barefoot across 15 feet of red hot embers. Taking place on Friday 13 March 2020 at 7pm, in the Carfax, the thrilling Firewalk isn’t for the faint hearted! People will be in safe hands as the event is held in partnership with UK Firewalk. And their expert staff will share the secrets of successful firewalking with everyone who takes part before they face the flames. Alongside the Firewalk, there's also a Lego brick walk for under 18's who are keen to prove they’re not bricking it and tackle their own challenge to raise money for their local hospice. Anyone who has stepped on a stray Lego brick before might argue that this challenge takes more guts than the Firewalk itself! Arron Trott, Events Fundraiser at St Catherine's said "We're really excited to bring such a great challenge to Horsham. We hope lots of you will brave our first Horsham Firewalk or Lego walk and help us make the night a sizzling success! It's a brilliant thing to be able to say you've hot footed across fire for your local hospice, and we can't wait to celebrate with all our amazing firewalkers. Your efforts have never been important because at the

DECEMBER 2019

moment we can only care for one in three local people who need hospice care. But in the future, we want to be there for everyone facing death and bereavement. This is only going to be possible with your support." Think you can take the heat? Then don't delay, get your space today! Places are limited so book early. Fire up and register before Friday 17 January 2020 to quality for an early bird registration of £20. After 17 January it's £25 to register.

HORSHAM DISTRICT COUNCIL

HALLOWEEN CAPERS

here was a whole lot of spooky fun and antics going on for Halloween in Horsham Town Centre on 31 October as the town hosted its annual Halloween party for younger children organised by Horsham District Council and partners. Free children’s activities clustered around the Carfax bandstand with event partners Horsham Hub

DECEMBER 2019

Family Centres and Horsham Churches Together (HCT) busy all day alongside performances from ‘Rebecca’ the story telling witch and outrageous bubble fun from ‘Bubble Joe’. Thanks to the Horsham District Year of Culture 2019 team, there were appearances in the morning by The Gruffalo, creating a deal of excitement as children spotted the famous character. A pumpkin trail organised by HCT ran across a Halloween themed market featuring many Carfax traders who really got into the spirit of the day, supported by organisers Horsham Markets. These colourful stalls were accompanied by children’s rides from ML Pleasure Fairs, a face painter and the ongoing Rotary Trick or Treat Trail across the town, all adding to the fun on offer. In the afternoon, a Halloween costume parade, starting from the Bishopric Stream, attracted around fifty youngsters and their carers led by the ‘Story Witch’ through West Street to the Carfax Bandstand. Horsham District Council Cabinet Member for the Local Economy Cllr Paul Clarke commented: “This was another great event staged by the Council and its various partners. “It encouraged many people to come into the town to enjoy the fun, creating lots of extra business for local traders. It was particularly good to see all the usual Thursday market traders entering into the spirit of the day in their amazing costumes with their Halloween themed wares.”

OPENING IN NOVEMBER Leonardslee Lakes and Gardens is now open to the public throughout the period November to March for the first time in its history. The estate will only close on Christmas day.

dam Streeter, General Manager, says:“Autumn is very special at Leonardslee, with magnificent displays in the woodland gardens as the leaves turn, and the colours reflected on the seven lakes in the valley. We have rebuilt the paths, so there are many great walks, in any weather, and dogs on leads are welcome too. We are planting thousands of bulbs and introducing snowbells and other plants to bring the main flowering season forward, to enjoy earlier in the year. “Also we have an extensive new programme of events in the autumn and winter months and planned throughout 2020. ‘Shopfest’ on November 17th is a showcase for an inspiring collection of art, crafts and handmade goods by independent business pop-ups exhibiting lifestyle, fashion and homeware. “A further highlight in the gardens is ‘Leonardslee Illuminated’ - with woodland trails lit up for a festival of light, sound and festive cheer. This runs from December 12th to 15th, and 19th to 22nd.” Popular woodland areas to visit in the gardens to see the autumn colours include the American Hickory trees, with fluorescent yellow leaves;

Kasura or Candy Floss trees, whose unusual ovalshaped leaves change to a light orange colour and produce a strong fragrance of burnt sugar; Black Gum trees, a brilliant red and yellow; the North American oaks that tower over the garden; and the Swamp Cypresses with their dazzling orange colours, found along the edges of the lakes. Leonardslee Lakes and Gardens opened to the public on April 6th 2019 after a decade’s closure. The opening followed two years’ major restoration work on the Grade 1 Listed gardens and on-site facilities by Penny Streeter OBE who acquired the estate in 2017. The extensive garden collection of plants from around the world dates from 1888, when Sir Edmund bought Leonardslee from his in-laws. From this period, parties were invited to visit the estate, which continued in the ownership of the Loder family until 2010. Leonardslee Gardens and Estate is open every day except Christmas Day, 9am to 4pm autumn and winter opening hours. The rock garden and three paths will be closed until mid-December due to essential renovation work: www.leonardsleegardens.co.uk

THE PARKINSON’S CHOIR’S XMAS SINGLE A small branch of Parkinson’s UK based in Horsham is attempting to achieve big things with their 2019 Christmas single. Parkinson’s disease is a condition that many know little about. With celebrities bringing it into the public eye in more recent years, there seems no better time to launch a campaign to raise awareness and much needed funds for continued research into the disease – after all, there is no cure.

he Horsham branch of Parkinson’s UK are a group of individuals affected by Parkinson’s, be it as sufferers themselves or family and friends of those affected. They come together for both emotional and practical support and activities to assist in speech and mobility to make the quality of life of those affected as best as possible whilst living with this debilitating, cruel illness. Our Choir -Director/Composer Madeline Castrey (above right) first became involved with Parkinson’s UK through becoming a friend of one of the members, Jacqui Pullen, who attends the branch and who is also living with the condition. At first, Madeline was asked to attend the branch’s annual garden party and sing to the members for a couple of hours – but became so inspired by the activities of those at Parkinson’s UK and the extent at which people at the branch supported each other to improve one another’s quality of life. She knew she wanted to do something to help. Madeline (22) has fundraised extensively for various charities nationwide since the age of 14

DECEMBER 2019

after becoming seriously ill herself. Once recovered, she knew she wanted to do something to help those less fortunate and began an avid fundraising campaign to improve the lives of as many people as possible. She founded a vocal group which has now raised over £60,000 for various charities and individual causes and received a Princess Diana Award for her fundraising. Madeline has continued to put her skills to good use, giving her time freely to establish community choirs with her energetic, vibrant and unique style of choir direction and is keen to show through her work that the joy of music can be accessed by all. Madeline was the first 16 year old admitted into The London College of Music on a Bachelors degree course, and has now returned to lecture there (at just 22) whilst completing her PhD. Madeline is the sole creator of this project for Parkinson’s UK and is donating all of the proceeds to the charity. Our Song ‘This Christmas Time’ is a very special creation especially for this inspirational group of people,

SOUTHWATER Life To advertise call 01403 588618 or visit www.horshampublications.com

T H E PA R K I N S O N ’ S C H O I R ’ S X M A S S I N G L E

and is a song that we hope can have an impact on a large scale. It is completely unique and the recording of vocals, playing of instruments, production and design has been undertaken by Madeline for Parkinson’s UK. All vocals are that of the members of the branch, and we hope that many people will come together to listen to this special piece of music, just as we have come together to create it. As Parkinson’s disease has such a profound impact on those affected, and their families, Madeline wanted to created a unique original composition which both embodied the struggle of living with the condition with a unifying message of hope that by coming together, especially at this time of year, we can be stronger as we look to the future for a cure. Whilst this song is a special creation made from statements and conversations with those who are affected by the condition, it also extends further, reminding everyone that “you don’t have to face

anything alone” We hope that our song ‘This Christmas Time’ helps to support and inspire whoever listens. Whilst Christmas is such a joyous time, it can also be a time of great difficulty, and by coming together, we are never truly alone. We will be releasing the song digitally (on iTunes & Spotify) as well as producing physical copies, which we will start selling locally – though we hope to be able to send these further afield! We have also produced an accompanying video, which will be available to watch on YouTube via our channel ‘The Parkinson’s Choir’ All proceeds raised from this song will be donated to Parkinson’s UK, to help fund support for those affected and research into the disease. Thank you in advance for listening. We are so grateful for your support and hope that you can help us reach as many people as possible! Release date: 22nd November.

THE MEDIAEVAL BAEBES

MUSIC, DANCE AND THEATRE

ost recognised for their title track to the renowned ITV series Victoria, the internationally acclaimed Mediaeval Baebes are once again returning to St Mary’s Church in Horsham, where they will escort their audience through a musical journey inspired by a time when poetry and music was created to invoke sensory pleasure. But who are the Mediaeval Baebes and what has made this septet’s haunting vocal harmonies become renowned across the globe? The Mediaeval Baebes began over 20 years ago when a group of friends broke into a cemetery and sang together, clad in flowing white gowns and crowns of ivy. After 3 chart-topping classical albums, an Ivor Novello Award, numerous sell-out tours of the UK, USA, Europe and Asia, and most recently, 2 Emmy- Award nominations for their soundtrack to ITV’s hit period drama Victoria; the Mediaeval Baebes are established as one the most successful, female-led early music and folk ensembles in Europe. Performing in many stunning and historically significant venues across the world, ranging from castles and caves through to nightclubs and renaissance fayres, some of their favourites have included Hampton Court Palace, Berkley Castle, The Royal Albert Hall, Chateau de Fontainebleau in France and Carnglaze Caverns in Cornwall. In addition, the Mediaeval Baebes have also toured with Jules Holland, supported Michael Flatley in Hyde Park, performed at the The Game Of Thrones Festival in Canada and appeared as joint guests on a show with Meatloaf! This is a show that I cannot wait to see, and Katheryn Blake their musical director, composer and produce explained “Our new winter show is set to be a vibrant performance that will be moving, amusing, rousing and spell-binding. Our music comes alive when we sing in churches and cathedrals because it was designed to be sung there, so it really is mediaeval music coming home! We will be

DECEMBER 2019

celebrating this magical time of year by performing Christmas carol classics from our top ten album Of Kings & Angels, in addition to songs from our new album A Pocketful of Posies, the uplifting title theme for ITV’s Victoria and some other contemporary and traditional songs.” Their recently released A Pocketful of Posies album re-creates nursery rhymes as exquisitely arranged pieces for all ages to enjoy and may at first glance, appear to be a strange project to embark on. However, this album which is accompanied by a hardback book pull-out, with beautiful illustrations and an in-depth literary background on the featured nursery rhymes, celebrates the ancient teaching tools that run throughout our culture and folklore. Many of these you will be familiar with, but others have been lost in the mists of time and this edgy and mystic album has impressively created an important musical document of English folklore and history. The Mediaeval Baebes are really set to enchant and uplift their audiences in St Mary’s Church on Saturday 7th December, so don’t miss this magical experience that will immerse your senses in a timeless treat of unique musical beauty. Tickets are now available from www.mediaevalbaebes.com at a cost of £25 each.

KINGDOM OF SNOW & ICE

orsham Museum & Art Gallery is delighted to host Kingdom of Snow and Ice by Wendy and Michael Ball. This wonderful exhibition is filled with beautiful photographs taken by Sussex-based husband and wife, Wendy and Michael Ball. The photographs in the exhibition were taken during a visit to Svalbard located off the coast of Norway, near to the North Pole. Wendy and Michael were part of a group of just 12 photographers to get a place on the Artic trip and felt privileged to have the opportunity to capture their encounters with the amazing animals whose existence is threatened by the actions of humanity. Printed onto aluminium dibond, the photographs are crisp and clear, allowing you to imagine that you are there at the moment the image was captured. Wendy was inspired to take up photography by her father who was, himself, a keen photographer. After retiring she had the time to build her skills and begin to take photographs for pleasure. Each image is a record of that moment and has the power to transport her back to the time it was taken. Her keen eye has earned her

DECEMBER 2019

several Highly Commended awards in the British and Scottish Wildlife Photographer of the Year Awards. Wendy has also been shortlisted three times for the International Wildlife Photographer of the Year Awards Michael’s interest in photography stemmed from his love of wildlife and travel, and his photographs serve as poignant reminders of his visits to other countries. He credits his membership of Steyning Camera Club with honing his technical skills, and encouraging him to continue to develop his craft. Visitors can purchase their own prints of Wendy and Michael’s photographs in the museum shop. We have a range of items for sale, including images produced on aluminium and traditional mounted prints, as well as lovely range of greetings cards starting at just £2.50. The exhibition runs until Saturday 14th December 2019 in Horsham Museum & Art Gallery’s Photography Gallery.

besity is a growing epidemic amongst our pets and can contribute to many health problems including heart disease, arthritis, diabetes, breathing difficulties, heat stroke and skin problems. Unfortunately, all of these conditions can reduce the life expectancy of our pets. Overweight pets usually develop as a result of too much food and too little exercise although age, breed and neutering can also be factors. However in some cases there are health problems that can result in a pet becoming overweight, for example dogs with an underactive thyroid. If you are concerned your pet is overweight, your veterinary practice can help you to tackle the problem. Special diets can be prescribed that aid with weight reduction in dogs and cats. Dog versions have reduced calorie and fat content but high fibre to ensure they feel full. Cats respond well to a high protein, low carbohydrate diet. There are even diets available now for both species that alter metabolic rate resulting in weight loss. Exercise is also very important in achieving a slimmer pet. For dogs regular walks, playing with toys, food search games at meal times, swimming and agility are fun ways to increase exercise. For cats encouraging them to spend time outside, playing with toys or white light pens and food dispensing balls can all be helpful. So when you are thinking about your New Year diet include your pet and work together; increasing exercise will benefit you both.
