Brickbox Surveys Helping you make an informed decision about the home you want to buy
Your home is likely to be the biggest investment of your life, yet many buyers do not commission an independent survey on its condition.
Do I really need a survey? ‘Which?’ magazine found that for those people who did not get a survey, on average, one in four had to spend £2,500 to put serious defects right which would have been identified in a condition report. For one in ten people it was over £10,000. By contrast those that did get a proper survey were able to negotiate a reduction in the price of the property that averaged £2,000.
Home Condition Survey Carried out by an experienced, fully qualified, accredited and insured residential property surveyor. It gives you a plain English, professional report on the condition of the property using a simple 1/2/3 condition rating, annotated photographs and a jargon free approach. We offer a fast, comprehensive and competitive service to inspect your new home for all the major defects which are likely to affect your decision to purchase.
Benefits include Peace of Mind

Bringing Darfur Back To Life With Kids For Kids
Kids for Kids is a charity based in Dorking which adopts remote villages in the Darfur region of western Sudan, where children are living in poverty. By Georgia Lambert
T
he star of BBC sitcom Absolutely Fabulous, Joanna Lumley OBE has been a supporter of Kids for Kids for many years. Joanna Lumley OBE, says: “Goat milk will save a child from starvation, and this is what Kids for Kids do best.They lend both donkeys and goats and save children’s lives. If I can help bring attention to the silence that surrounds Darfur, I will be thrilled. The children don’t have toys – they are lucky if they have water to drink. We can, we will, make a difference because we must.” Kids for Kids help children that the world all too often forgets. Children in Darfur, live lives of inexcusable and unimaginable hardship. The region sees the poorest families survive on less than £50.00 a year, and, inflation is soaring. Since the creation of South Sudan and the loss of oil, the price of essentials has rocketed, meaning that mothers cannot afford to feed their children wholesome meals. Prolonged malnutrition is
known to damage growth, weaken bones, teeth and destroys brain cells. The future is bleak for these people, but Kids for Kids is there to make a difference, the key project of Kids for Kids is a goat loan, which will enable families to help themselves. Goat’s milk is full of nutrients, minerals and vitamins with life-changing benefits. It helps prevent osteoporosis, reduce IQ damage, boost the immune system and it has a chemical composition similar to human milk, making it the perfect substitute for breast milk. Goat loans are just one way the charity helps - Kids for Kids also provide projects suitable to the region which have both an immediate and a long-term impact – they are lifting families out of abject poverty and transforming entire villages.
To date, Kids for Kids have adopted more than 82 villages across North Darfur, improving 364,000 lives in one of the most remote and inaccessible regions of the world, where violence is still a daily hazard on the long walk to clean water. The grassroots integrated projects have been running for 16 years, and they provide immediate help to families, providing milk for their children to drink, a blanket to sleep under, a mosquito net to protect them from malaria and the access to farm tools. The team at Kids for Kids are improving the lives of the villagers by providing health care, veterinary care, planting trees and most importantly, access to clean water. The charity’s midwives are saving countless lives and have dramatically reduced the incidence of female genital mutilation. Patricia Parker MBE, founder of Kids for Kids, said: “Children are hungry, thirsty and at risk. We know we can change their lives, for good, with your help.”

Girl Power In Horley With Girl Guiding Since 1909 around 250 million Girl Guides have been changing lives and building a better world through leadership development, community action, service to others, peer education and advocacy. By Georgia Lambert
G
irl guiding is a liberal, modern organisation for young women. It is no longer about homemaking and learning how to be a good hostess. Gone are qualifications such as the laundress badge where one discussed different washing methods, or the 1938 minstrel badge where one had to play the national anthem from memory. Today, Girl Guiding is seen as the ultimate feminist organisation, and for good reason - girls take what they learn in guiding them as they grow up. They develop the skills, values and the confidence they need to reach their potential – as students, friends and citizens, and they become the women they want to be while having lots of fun. The Rainbow programme is about learning, by doing, and is perfect for girls aged 5-7 years-old - it is about having the space to try different things and meet new people. For girls aged 7-10, Brownies is an exciting adventure. For those aged 10-14, being a girl guide gives the opportunity
to take responsibility, organise, develop skills previously learnt in Brownies and learn new and transferable skills. From abseiling to cooking, to completing the prestigious Baden Powell Challenge Award, to filling up your Guide blanket with as many badges as possible. Throughout the guiding adventure, the girls are supported by inspiring volunteers who give their time, expertise and enthusiasm to help them thrive. Guiding would not be possible without the 100,000 dedicated volunteers nationwide. They are not paid for what they do, they give their time because they are passionate and care about enriching the lives of girls. The guiding leaders make a huge difference in their local communities so that girls
can attend a programme that enables them to try new things, have fun and speak out on issues that matter to them. The Horley Guide leaders are an example of committed volunteers who give their time in many different ways. They consult with the girls to plan and run weekly meetings, arrange special trips and events, manage budgets, source equipment, carry out group administration, and attend regular meetings and training events. The Horley leaders say they have as much fun helping, as the girls do taking part. Lasting friendships are formed between the volunteers, and all sections of Guiding are thriving in Horley, with many Rainbow, Brownie and Guiding units and there is scope to open three more units in the town if they had more volunteers. There are several exciting events happening this summer for all guiding sections - this month, there is an opportunity to take part in Surrey Scoutabout – a camp for Guides and Scouts, and in September, there will be a Water Fun Day at the Paxmead River Base.

Changing Lives Through Performing Arts In Surrey
The Orpheus Centre is an independent, specialist college in Surrey that works to increase the confidence and skills of disabled, young adults through the performing arts.
T
By Georgia Lambert
he centre has been awarded the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service the highest award a voluntary group can receive in the UK. The students at the centre receive a diverse and holistic learning programme, with access to creative arts, independent living skills, functional skills and employment programmes - and are aged between 18 and 25 with learning and, or physical impairments. The centre also provides students with high-quality supported housing flats and person centred domiciliary care and support, including help with personal care and other practical household tasks. The centre currently has 27 tenants living in their supportive housing and more than 20 students accessing their learning programme on a full or part-time basis, with more students nationwide taking part in the short courses available. The centre was founded by Sir Richard Stilgoe in 1998, in the mid-1990’s the musician and
songwriter, and neurologist Dr Michael Swallow started piloting music weeks for disabled people. These were so effective that Sir Richard Stilgoe decided to start a place where disabled young adults and volunteers could work together for longer than a week – to change their own and other people’s lives by creating music and performing in public. The centre was opened at Sir Richard’s former family home in Godstone, Surrey. Orpheus started with five disabled students who learnt to cook, manage budgets, do laundry and go shopping. They also wrote songs, devised dances - they continuously broke down pre-conceived thoughts about disabled people wherever and whenever they performed. In the past 16 years, Orpheus has transformed the lives of hundreds of people and their families. Their students have performed across the country including the London 2012 Paralympics, Buckingham Palace and Glastonbury.

COVER STORY
Olly Murs Comes To Sandown Park
The ‘Troublemaker’ himself, Olly Murs, the 2009 X Factor star with four multi-platinum albums under his belt is coming to Sandown Park Racecourse on Thursday, August 10 to wow the crowds with his hits!
O
By Jacob White
lly Murs is among the stars performing at Sandown Park this summer, following in the footsteps of last year’s stellar performances which included Bryan Adams, Jess Glynne and Busted. The 33-year-old Essex boy is the most successful male artist to come from TV talent show X Factor. With four number one singles to his name and the accolade of total record sales standing at in excess of 10 million. The open-air concert at Sandown Park will be an event that organisers call a special value-for-money
experience unlike any other as those in attendance will not only be able to see a show-stopping headlining performance from one of the world biggest stars but also a race day with a six race card – this is a great chance to see some of the finest performers in both the equine and musical fields. Sandown Park Racecourse was founded in 1875 and the course has gone on to provide the backdrop to some of the greatest moments in horse racing. Today, it is home to world-class customer facilities featuring an array of award-
winning restaurants catering for all tastes from fine dining to bistro food and is part of The Jockey Club group which itself welcomes more than two million visitors each year. Speaking about Olly Murs performance at the racecourse, London Region Director for Jockey Club Racecourses, Phil White, said: “We are really looking forward to having Olly Murs perform at Sandown Park Racecourse. I know he is used to arenas but I am sure his heart will skip a beat when he feels the energy of the crowd at the racecourse – it’s sure to be a fantastic atmosphere!”
Competition Time!
We’ve teamed up with Sandown Park Racecourse to offer you the chance to WIN a family ticket (two adults and two children) to see Olly Murs in action on Thursday, August 10. For more information on how to win, visit our website: www.rhuncovered.co.uk

Five Minutes With Murs
Ahead of his appearance at Sandown Park Racecourse, Olly Murs gave us his take on his music and the show.
For more information about Sandown Park Racecourse, visit: www.sandown.co.uk
What do you think has been the appeal to make you the most successful artists to have appeared on X Factor? Olly, said: “I’d like to think that I’ve done some great songs and, think people love what I do. The 24 Hrs album is probably the most heartbreaking, most honest album I’ve done but I think with previous albums you know I have a lot of fun, my albums are happy, still got lots of that vibe on it.” You have done a run of outdoor shows this summer, how do they vary in terms of what you put into them and what you get out of them, from the indoors to the outdoors? Olly, said: “It’s really fun being outside and you know the show that we’re doing at Sandown Park is a different gig for me, I’ve never done anything like this before, I’ve done racecourse gigs before in the past but not this sort of size. I can’t wait I mean, what’s better? Go to a racecourse, I can go there during the day I can, have a flutter on a couple of the races and do a gig in the evening. Perfect.” Have you got any kind of pre-stage ritual that you perform before you go on? Olly, said: “Me and the band have a little huddle up before the show and we sing one of our songs, well not a song, a song that we’ve got as a team and we’ve been doing it for the last six/seven years so it’s a bit of a ritual but I’m sure we’ll be sinking a few shots before the show as well just to get into the racecourse spirit.”

Remember Your Emission Sticker Are you planning a self-drive European holiday this summer? If you are driving in France and intend to visit Paris, you will need an emission sticker. By Ben Morley
Y
ou will no doubt remember last month that President Donald Trump withdrew the US from the Paris Agreement on climate change. However, what you might not recall is hearing that you need to display a special sticker in
your windscreen if you intend to drive your car through France’s capital city. The measures were announced at the end of 2016 as part of the country’s attempts to clean up the air quality after several days of extremely bad quality air recorded last year. Use of these stickers, known as Crit’Air, is now in force, but if you were not aware that you should have one, and did not buy one you could be facing a fine of up to £117.00 for not doing so. Police have been advised to be lenient in the short term, these windscreen stickers can be ordered online, something you should be doing if you are considering driving through Paris at any time. The stickers cost £3.50 (around €4.00) and are broken down into six categories ranging from full electric vehicles through to all-singing supercars and big diesel vehicles. What you need to know is, the website for buying the stickers is only in French at the moment, so you might be relying heavily on Google Translate if you want to buy one. However, there is talk of launching one for non-French speaking motorists this summer. Hopefully, this launch will take place by the time that you read this article. Exemptions
If your car is older than 1997 you will not be allowed into Paris, Monday - Friday, 8.00am - 8.00pm. After these hours you can beat the system by driving through Paris, in an old car, without a sticker.

fter years of hard work, training and late nights I finally had my own business. I set up VDS performance specializing in VW / Audi Group vehicles but also covering most other makes. My aim was to provide a friendly, professional and customer focused service at prices below that of main dealers in the area. Being a small operation means I get to speak to all my customers in person, building a rapport with them and I am always on hand to offer advice and answer any queries they may have. I can cater for all types of garage repairs from regular servicing, air conditioning and tyres to complicated electrical faults and diagnostics. I also offer performance parts for VW/Audi group vehicles – air filters, exhausts,

brake and suspension upgrades and more, for those seeking a little bit extra from their cars and hope to launch an online tuning shop in the near future. Cars have become more complicated in recent years with a huge increase in the amount of electronics used, around 40% of a new vehicles cost can be attributed to electrical systems. This presents us as garage owners a few problems and accentuates the need to attend regular training days throughout
We provide friendly & professional garage services at rates well below that of the main dealers and other independents

the year in order to keep up with the new technologies. It is all too easy these days to fall behind with technology. I regularly attend training courses, gaining master technician status and I am a proud member of the IMI’s (Institute of The Motor Industry) professional register. I have also taken part in the national skills competition ‘Top-technician’, successfully reaching the finals in 2015, having made the semi-finals in 2014 and 2016.

The Best Of The Season’s Colours The summer is all about bright, lively and vibrant colours - your garden should be no different! We have a rundown of the bedding plants that can give your summer garden a serious splash of colour! By Jacob White
S
ummer bedding plants do not just have to be petunias and marigolds! As well as popular bedding plants you can choose from a large range of annual bedding plants. Here is our rundown of the bedding plants which can turn your garden from drab to delightful this summer! Sweet peas These make a fantastic cottage garden! Let the sweet peas scramble up obelisks or wigwams where they can reach heights of 1.8m (6”), or try dwarf sweet peas for groundcover at the front of beds and borders. With their rich and delightful fragrance, and wide range of colours, sweet peas are excellent summer bedding plants and can provide bunches of gorgeous fragrant cut flowers throughout summer! Antirrhinum Much-loved for their flowery spikes and long-flowering period, Antirrhinums have mouth-like flowers which open when squeezed. Available in a range of colours, snapdragon plants vary in height, from dwarf plants no taller than 25cm (10”) to large plants such as Antirrhinum Royal Bride which reach around 90cm (35”). Dwarf snapdragons can be used in borders and patio containers, and if you are looking for bedding plants that attract bees, Antirrhinums are a great source of nectar.

Begonia A versatile summer bedding plant, they are loved for their flamboyant and colourful blooms. They also boast an ability to thrive in both sun and shade. Flowering throughout the summer and up to the first frosts, they can be upright or trailing and are suitable for beds, hanging baskets and window boxes. Californian poppy This annual is sown directly in beds and borders, and will happily self-seed and create colour year after year. Traditionally orange, there is now a plethora of colours including yellow and red. The blooms are borne above blue-green foliage, and are attractive to bees. Thriving in dry soil, simply scatter the seeds where you want them to flower and they take care of themselves. Cosmos The saucer-shaped flowers are a source of late nectar for pollinating insects. The Cosmos’ fern-like foliage adds texture to bedding schemes and works well in an informal cottage-style bed or border. These summer plants are available in shades of pink, red and white with Cosmos Sulphureus offering yellow, orange and red. Cosmos plants begin blooming in mid-summer and flower until autumn.

Do You Fear The Dentist? Most people will say they do not look forward to a dental appointment but for some there is a deep feeling of anxiety and fear which is keeping them away – in fact, a British Dental Health Foundation survey found that for 36% of those who did not see a dentist regularly, fear was the number one reason. By Jacob White
D
o you, or does someone you know, suffer from dental anxiety or dental phobia? Some people with the condition are putting themselves at risk of serious illness with a higher risk of gum disease and early tooth loss. There are professional out there to help even the most nervous to say “argh!” no more.
Causes Pain Of those who had not seen a dentist for 12 months, 6% reported fear of pain; this fear is common in those aged 40 or older as their early visits to the dentist were at a time before advances in dentistry. Helplessness and loss of control Like many phobias about situations there is often a feeling for a sufferer that they have no control of a situation. They sit still in a dentist chair and feel unable to predict what is going to happen next. Embarrassment The mouth is an intimate part of the body; people can feel ashamed or embarrassed by having a stranger looking inside. This may be a problem if you are self-conscious about the look of your teeth.
Symptoms
There is not a clearly defined boundary separating anxiety and phobia, everyone has fears and concerns and copes in different ways. However, some of the signs of dental phobia include: • You feel tense or have trouble sleeping before a visit to the dentist
What To Expect On A Dental Visit
If you have not been to a dentist for some time, they will want to take a full health history. On follow-up visits if your health status changes tell your dentist. Here is what to expect on a visit: Thorough Clean A dental hygienist or dentist will remove built-up plaque and tartar that can cause gum disease, cavities, bad breath and other oral health problems. Dental Examination Your dentist will perform an examination of your teeth, gums and mouth, looking for problems. X-Rays These can diagnose problems otherwise unnoticed, such as damaged jawbones and tumours.
Ways To Ease Fear
• Find an understanding dentist – ask friends and family for recommendations • Pick an appointment early in the morning so you have less time to dwell on it
• You get increasingly nervous in the waiting room
• Take a friend with you – a dentist won’t mind if they accompany you on your visit
• The sight of dental instruments and nursing staff increases your anxiety
• Agree a sign with the dentist to signal that you need a break and want them to stop
• You panic or have trouble breathing when objects are placed in your mouth
• Take a personal listening device to listen to music which can help you relax
Sedation Clinics: If you are visiting a dentist and need treatment, ask your dentist whether they offer a form of sedation. If they cannot offer sedation they can refer you to a sedation clinic. The sedation clinics are specifically for nervous dental patients. They can provide either inhalation sedation through a small mask or an injection into your hand or arm – you will be awake during treatment but you will be calm throughout and you probably will not be able to remember the treatment!
