A culture lesson at the breakfast table and a great way to boost your income Given the continuing huge demand for places at UK boarding schools from overseas, Bright World Guardianships, a Sussex-based company, is predicting yet another increase in the number of students joining schools in the UK this September. Bright World Guardianships is a long established guardianship company charged with offering care to international students in UK boarding schools whose parents are not living here. These bright and brave young students are full-boarders at schools but need host family accommodation when schools close for short breaks such as half terms and long weekends. With so many excellent independent schools in the UK, it is likely that an increase in demand will be evident here.
12
Hosting international students is a very fulfilling and rewarding role. Bright World does, of course, pay a generous nightly rate to cover expenses for visiting children, which can offer a valuable extra income to families. More than this though, hosting a young international student can make their entire experience in the UK a happy one. If you welcome them into your home they will actually look forward to long weekends and half terms and it will enhance their overall experience and impression of the UK. Your own children will also benefit from the exposure to sharing their home with an international student and will learn about new cultures and countries. Think of it as a geography and culture lesson at your breakfast table. So becoming a Bright World host family can not only help pay for your annual holiday, but will also help to educate your own children about new cultures while making a young international student’s life so much better.
For more information on becoming a host family for Bright World Guardianships, please contact: Brian McAllister, Senior Safeguarding Manager by emailing brian@brightworld.co.uk

SLEEPLESS NIGHT OVER DEBT? More and more people are turning to short-term ‘pay day’ loan companies in a desperate bid to make ends meet during these difficult times. However, very few seek professional advice before taking out loans that can have interest rates of more than 4,000% APR. Personal debt specialists Adcroft Hilton can help. They fully support the government’s plan to regulate short-term loan companies, and offer free, friendly and confidential advice to people having a hard time financially. Pop into the office – no appointment is necessary – or give them a call to arrange a home visit. Adcroft Hilton can help you regain control of your debts and your finances. From consolidating several debts into one management monthly payment, to stopping those intimidating creditor letters, they can help.

With their help you may be able to avoid any further action such as County Court Judgements (CCJs) and your home is safe and protected.

Our expert team members are here to make you feel completely at ease and to give you peace of mind.

FULL THROTTLE
Does the GT86 fulfil a desire to recapture the purity of a classic sports car experience? More often considered safe and reliable, Toyota has taken a step back to its perhaps more care-free past with the launch of the GT86, a 2+2 sports car for the 21st century. Forget low emissions, low performance and low excitement, this car is about one thing: recapturing the purity of the classic sports car experience. The 2000GT proved to be a big influence on the development of the GT86, a joint venture with Subaru. Built in 1965 and powered by a 2.0-litre straight-six engine, it helped to establish Toyota’s global reputation as a sports car manufacturer, even though only 337 were manufactured. The driver-focused coupe is built on a brand new platform and the remit revolved around three basic elements – it had to be rear-wheel drive, have no turbocharging and ordinary tyres.
26
The solution was found in combining Subaru’s newly developed boxer engine with Toyota’s latest fuel injection system. The result is the world’s first horizontally opposed engine with D-4S technology.
The 2.0-litre petrol engine, which revs freely to 7,400rpm, produces 197bhp and is paired with a close-ratio six-speed manual or automatic gearbox. The GT86 can sprint to 62mph in 7.6 seconds and has a top speed a shade under 140mph. Economy levels out at around 36mpg for the manual and 40mpg for the automatic while CO2 emissions are 181g/km (manual) and 164g/km (auto).

The GT86 is available in a choice of seven colours with prices starting from £24,995. It’s not just under the bonnet though where the GT86 draws inspiration. During the design process, a perfectly preserved 2000GT was placed in the studio, paving the way for exterior lines and surfaces that are designed not only to look good, but also help the driver to know just where each corner of the vehicle is at all times. It’s certainly good to look at and has definite presence.
The steering wheel is the smallest ever fitted to a Toyota while the driving position is 7mm lower than a Porsche Cayman, enhancing the drive of the GT86 even further.
“The same attention to detail transfers into the cockpit, where focus is on functionality and usability”.
Its in-house development code was 086A while the boxer’s engine’s 86mmx86mm square bore and stroke are faithful to Toyota’s sports engine history. Even the diameter of the GT86’s chrome-tipped twin exhausts is 86mm.
The ‘eight six’ in GT86 has played significant part in the car’s development, being more than just a reference to its celebrated ancestor, the Corolla GT AE86.
Performance doesn’t come at a price, as the couple has high levels of standard equipment, including automatic dual-zone air conditioning, Smart Entry and Start system, cruise control, Toyota Touch touchscreen controls system, Bluetooth and USB port.
