Funeral Planner of the year J T Byrne Funeral Directors named regional Funeral Planner of the Year and received a nomination within the top 3 in the country.

T

hornton-Cleveleys and Fleetwood funeral director J T Byrne Funeral Directors has been named the best mid-sized funeral planner in the West Lancashire & Merseyside area and also named within the top 3 in the country at 2015’s Funeral Planner of the Year awards.

The win came during a competitive year. Run by market leading funeral plan provider Golden Charter, the awards are the biggest gathering of independent funeral directors in the UK, with this year’s event the largest ever held.

The funeral director’s John Byrne said: “We are delighted to have won this prestigious award for the fourth year running. This reflects upon the support we receive from the local community. We are proud to be at the forefront of helping families at their time of need and providing Golden Charter funeral plans.

J T Byrne are a family business supporting families.

Ronnie Wayte, Golden Charter’s Chief Executive, said: “In their 22nd year the awards are more competitive than ever before, with funeral plans continuing to grow in popularity. This award is well earned proof that J T Byrne Funeral Directors has reached a remarkable standard.”

The Funeral Planner of the Year Awards focus on the funeral planning achievements of independent funeral directors, who make up a growing majority of the funeral industry. With recent Mintel figures showing that the average price of funerals has increased 88% in the past ten years to £3,609, more people are choosing to use pre-paid funeral plans to freeze the cost of the funeral director’s services at today’s prices.

Go wild for Wyre’s outdoors this summer

G

o wild for Wyre’s parks, coast and countryside this summer with funfilled family activities on offer across the borough.

Make waves at Marine Splash water play area in Fleetwood which is open daily throughout the summer holidays (weather permitting).

Located next to YMCA Fleetwood on the seafront, youngsters will find fountains, water jets, water tunnels and a paddling area to splash through and there’s a cafe with outside decking and picnic areas too.

Opening times are split into two sessions starting at 12noon and 2.30pm. Entry is £2 per child for two hours play, free for children three years and under, and there is no charge for accompanying adults. Find out more at wyre.gov.uk/marinesplash For children who like to explore, Xplorer is a fun outdoor challenge taking place at Fleetwood’s Memorial Park, Wyre Estuary Country Park in Thornton and Rossall Point Observation Tower throughout the summer holidays.

Aimed at primary and pre-school children, Xplorer is a navigational challenge for the whole family to enjoy and involves a healthy mix of physical activity and decision making. Using a simple map of the park the aim is to find the points marked on the map and write down the name of the secret animal or colour found on the marker.

Marine Conservation Society.

The event takes place at the park on River Road, Stanah, 11am until 4pm and entry is free.

Get the kids involved in coastal conservation and enjoy summer at the seaside by joining a beach clean. Knott End beach clean takes place on Tuesday 9 August, 10am until 12noon. Equipment will be provided - just put on your wellies and come along to help out. Bring the whole family, even the dog!

Care & Support PARKINSONS DISEASE SUPPORT GROUP Our main aims are to give support to people with Parkinson’s Disease, their families and friends. We are a small independent group and meet on a weekly basis at our hall at the top of Bold Street, right next to the North Euston Hotel. Our meetings are run on a “drop in” basis every Wednesday between 10am and 3pm. Tea, coffee and biscuits are served in a very informal, comfortable atmosphere. We also have a session with exercises especially chosen for Parkinson sufferers but helpers and volunteers can join in too. These exercises will not halt the progression of the disease but they do promote a feeling of well being and are mentally stimulating (as well as being a good laugh!) The exercise session is at 12noon. So if you are affected by Parkinson’s Disease in any way whatsoever, why not give us try. If you feel like volunteering, pop in on any Wednesday and see what you think. Contact Sue on 0755 4623 231 email: parkinsonsprestonandfleetwood@ gmail.com 873480

Modern Family

‘Dads’ at the school gates

By Danielle Lade

September is upon us again and that means the kids are going back to school.

‘Mums all over the UK sigh with relief as they get a bit of free time back in September’ one newspaper quoted. And while stay at home Mothers still outnumber stay at home Dads by 11 to 1, the number of paternal primary care givers has doubled since 1993, with 2014 National statistic figures quoting 229,000 Dads now taking the lead at home, I spoke to one of them about life as a full time Dad. John is 32 and quit his IT job when his wife gave birth to their first son Jake three years ago. John’s wife Helen had a slightly higher paid job in Design and as a couple they decided that she would return to work and John would take on the ‘traditional’ Mothers role.

“The hardest thing is that it’s almost seen like I’m taking Jane’s role, when I walk into the baby and toddler groups, a whole group of women look at me suspiciously. I now know some of them much better but it definitely took them all a long time to not think of me as a strange imposter.”

In fact it took nearly a year before John came across another full time Dad living nearby in their home city of Birmingham, together they set up an online Facebook group for other Dad’s and over the last couple of years, their community has grown,

“There are a lot of men who have a shared role with their partners, and they have all said that they found it difficult to find Father friendly alternatives to the hundreds of groups set up for women.”

A quick Google search will come up with numerous options for a stay at home mum to find fellow comrades/work out partners/coffee break buddies, you name it, there’s a Mum’s group for it. Do a similar Google search for men and the results are much more limited, “The trend is definitely changing,” John says, “and the rewards of spending that quality time with Jake makes up for any nerves at going to a baby group or being the only man at a toddler swimming class.”

However, with society evolving to be more accepting, the traditional view of families is being changed to be more encompassing, one of John’s Dad friends was part of a gay couple, and when he made the decision to stay at home, he was often given similar responses, ‘so you’re the ‘Mum’ of the couple.’ An attitude which is slowly but surely changing.

“You of course get the odd bit of mockery, but I think anyone who stays at home to look after children full time will know that parenting is very far from weak, and anything but the easy option. I wouldn’t go back and change my decision.”

Next year, Jake will be starting school and with a bit of luck a couple of Jakes friends from John’s

social circle will be in the same class. He is still going to be outnumbered at the school gates but he definitely won’t be alone, “there are more and more of us stay at home Dads, we may talk more about video games and less about shoes but even those clichés are changing, I speak to one of our female friends about the new Halo game coming out on the Xbox whereas the guys sometimes discuss how difficult it is to find a suitable changing bag!”

“The biggest difference between being a stay at home Mum and a stay at home Dad is other people’s opinions of it”

It was lovely to talk to John and my daughter Scarlett and Jake happily entertained each other whilst we had a coffee, it was immediately clear that we were both parents who wanted the best

Times are changing and parenting is now a much more modern field of life choice, so if you’re at the school gates and spot a Dad, don’t look at him like he’s a suspicious character or worse, as a ‘Mr Mum’ as the media have used in the past as a moniker.

There’s a much better way of depicting a man who looks after his children full time, ‘Dad’.

In any family, the most important decision is what’s best for the children and what’s best for the parents. With the cost of living making it harder and harder to live off one wage, some of the more ‘traditional’ ways of bringing up a family is just not possible. And even when money isn’t a sticking point; why shouldn’t a Dad be able to make the decision to bring up their child instead of relying on child care options or assuming it has to be the Mother?

for their child and were enjoying a bit of grown up conversation over a cup of tea. But I’ll let John sum up how he feels about being a stay at home Dad. “The biggest difference between being a stay at home Mum and a stay at home Dad is other people’s opinions of it, and as I know we made the best decision for our family, we don’t have the time to worry what other people are saying. Bringing up children is one of the most rewarding jobs you can have and I wouldn’t change it for the world.”
