Welcome to our August issue August is one of the busiest months of the year for parents. Many will be packing their family up for a fun filled holiday on foreign shores, but many will be staying here and looking for activities to keep their children occupied over the long summer holidays. Well, fear not, we’ve got plenty for both parents and kids alike this month within the pages of our August issue! There’s a Record Breaker’s Reading Challenge for your little bookworms – being held in libraries across the county it encourages children to read six books of their choice from a range of categories collecting rewards along the way. We’ve also got the 40th annual Crawley Down Fayre on the village Green on Saturday 5th September from 2pm until 6pm and then the festivities continue at the Haven Centre from 7pm with live music and food. Our Community Hero this month is Maria Louise Box who campaigns to raise awareness for Autism through her voluntary work for Autism Support Crawley. We also chat to Simon Morley of Serv Sussex, a fantastic organisation of emergency rider volunteers and Jimmy Beale about his Double Charity Challenge to raise money for The Michael J Fox Foundation. Whatever you’ve got planned this month – have fun!

Community Hero:

MariaLouiseBox

hen we put out a call for community hero nominations, we were soon inundated with suggestions. Just one name that stood out was that of Maria Box (soon to be Cook), the chairperson of Autism Support Crawley, which provides a life-line of support, help and advice for parents and carers of those on the autism spectrum. Pound Hill resident Maria, whose six year old son Ryan has autism, now helps to support 450 local members – via two monthly meetings (many of which host leading autism speakers) and an active Facebook page. She is also a parent liaison for Autism Sussex, running coffee mornings and signposting parent/carers to services that they may not have heard about and is a parent governor at Manor Green School too. “Four years ago our daughter was diagnosed with autism. Whilst it was expected, it still came with a broad range of emotions, worries and frustrations. I first met Maria, two years ago when a friend introduced us. I felt able to talk openly to Maria about anything and everything autism as I knew she would fully understand and offer good advice,” Autism Support Crawley member, Natalie King, tells us. “I joined the group through social media and it has been an excellent source of help and advice along with a great bunch of people who are all in similar situations. Over time, I have got to know Maria. I have seen her laugh until she nearly cried and cry until I made her laugh. She is so passionate about what she does and the support she gives us all through the group and on a personal and social level is rarely found these days. I am lucky enough to call Maria a very dear friend. Without her and the support of Autism Support Crawley, every day would be that little bit harder.”

“In one article Maria, explained about the difficulties that she encountered visiting Sainsbury’s and how difficult it was to try and get a six year old wriggling boy in to a trolley whilst onlookers sniggered,” Maria’s fiancée, Lee Cook explains. “Due to the article being available online, a marketing manager from Sainsbury’s managed to contact Maria to apologise and ask how they could improve her shopping experience with Ryan. Maria explained that the trollies are not practical for children with disabilities and suggested a front loading trolley with neck support and a five point harness. Within a few months, Sainsbury’s presented Maria with a prototype trolley and after a few modifications, it has now gone national with a trolley purposely built for children with disabilities in every store. I am extremely proud of her and can’t wait to be her husband!”

Well done Maria! Further congratulations are also in-store for Maria, as she marries long-term partner Lee on Wednesday 29th July in a castle ceremony in Jersey! With organising group meetings, on-going campaigning, being a carer As well as offering hands-on support to so many, for both son Ryan and her mum, who suffers with busy mum Maria, continuously campaigns to raise mental illness, we’re not sure how she found the awareness for autism through writing articles for time to plan a wedding – we’re sure you’ll agree; magazines – one of which even saw her working Maria’s Community Hero title is well deserved! with a national supermarket:

Record Breakers

Reading Challenge

f you’re already hearing those all-too-familiar cries of “I’m bored,” this school holiday, fear not – your local library has an exciting reading challenge taking place until Saturday 12th September that will spark the interests of keen bookworms and the reluctant reader, alike. Created by The Reading Agency, in association with Guinness World Records, the Record Breakers Summer Reading Challenge, launched in libraries nationwide last month, hopes to get young readers exploring the weird and wonderful worlds of fact and fiction and challenge them to discover the astonishing real-life achievements and world records, as featured in the Guinness World Records Books. Readers just need to read six books (that’s just one per week, if started at the beginning of August!) from a range of six cool categories; Cool Tech, Way to Go!, The Big Stuff, Animal Magic, Human Touch and Action Adventure!, collecting rewards along the way.

Take the kids along and enjoy getting lost in a good book today! All of those that complete the free challenge, will receive a medal and certificate, to honour their accomplishments. “The unique element of the Summer Reading Challenge is that it’s designed to promote reading for pleasure and sharing stories as a family, therefore children are encouraged to choose whatever books they like – including picture books, story books and information books,” Russell Allen, from West Sussex County Council Library Service, explains. “Library staff and volunteers are on hand to listen to the children talk about what they have reading and help them make new choices.” What are you waiting for? Take the kids along and enjoy getting lost in a good book today!

Take part in The Record Breakers Reading Challenge by visiting Crawley Library, Southgate Avenue, Crawley, by Saturday 12th September.

01293 824088

We are pleased to invite you to the two exciting events described below:

Saturday, 29th August, 6:00 p.m. – Paul Cardall in Concert Paul Cardall is a Steinway & Sons sponsored pianist and a two-time No. 1 Billboard artist with seven other recordings that debuted on Billboard’s top 10 New Age chart without any major label support. Jenn Gordon, Steinway & Sons’ Artist Manager, describes Paul as “one of the most accomplished and discriminating artists in the world.” Paul’s soothing, melodic style is born out of his compassion to help others endure hardship and connect to the strength of the soul. The passion he exudes during his performances is rooted in personal experience and difficult challenges he has endured. He was born with essentially half a functioning heart, which required immediate surgery when he was less than a day old. His life-threatening congenital heart disease and a series of difficult surgeries throughout his life, including a heart transplant, have given Paul wisdom, depth and understanding that only music could express to heal hearts and minds of people all over the world.

Saturday, 12th September, 10:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. – Family History Fair Wendy Thompson, our keynote speaker, has 1) lectured extensively through the SouthWest of England and South Wales on Family History; 2) trained Reference Librarians for the British Library; 3) worked at Bristol Records Office and with Bristol College advising beginning and advanced Family Historians; 4) directed the Bristol Family History Centre; 5) chaired the Weston-Super-Mare Family History Society; and 6) worked on BBC Bristol Radio “Who do you Think you are? “ Her thorough knowledge and engaging style will uplift and inform Family Historians at any stage of their development or interest. Following Wendy’s presentation, we will serve a light free lunch, after which we will offer beginning and advanced presentations on using Family Search¸ the Family History site sponsored by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Parking is plentiful and admission is free for both events. Please call in advance for the Family History Fair, however, to let us know the number of people in your party so we can plan for lunch. Please join us! We look forward to seeing you!

Jimmy’s Double Charity Challenge

ver the next six months, 34 year old Worth resident, Jimmy Beale will be taking on TWO big charity challenges; all to raise funds for a Parkinson’s charity – a cause very close to his heart, as his dad is a sufferer. The dad of two, who works alongside his father as a heating engineer, will be pounding the pavements of New York for the world-famous New York Marathon in November and enduring the ultimate running test in Disney’s Dopey Challenge (48.6 miles) in January, to hopefully raise his target of £2,500 for The Michael J Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research. “I’ve always played football, so I have ran, but New York will be my first marathon,” Jimmy explains. “I have been in-training for about four months now, just building myself up with four, five and six mile runs. I am running in various meets over the coming months in preparation.” “The reason I decided to do these particular marathons was, first of all, it’s always been an ambition of mine to run the New York marathon. I’ve always heard that the crowd participation is excellent and of course the breath-taking views all around the city. I’ve visited New York a few times and I am always taken with how cinematic everything seems.” “I’ll also be taking part in the Disney Dopey Challenge in Florida, which consists of a 5K on the Thursday, 10K on Friday, half marathon on Saturday and full marathon on the Sunday. My children are also running in the kids’ 100 metre race in support of their grandad, which he will be able to witness.

/RHUncovered

I think this will be a special moment for him to see!” the local fundraiser continues. When asked why he’s doing marathons almost back-to-back, Jimmy told us: “I really wanted to do a challenge that I thought best represented what great work the Michael J Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research do. I am looking forward to both marathons just for the challenge and pushing myself to the limit for a great charity.” “My dad has had Parkinson’s for over 10 years and I have seen in close quarters (we work together) how debilitating the disease can be. Anything I can do, however small, will hopefully help to one day provide a cure.” Jimmy can be sponsored by visiting: www2.michaeljfox.org/goto/Jimmybeale

Ready for the Rugby World Cup!

ext month signals the start of the Rugby World Cup (18th September – 31st October), so what better excuse was there to chat to our local longstanding club, Crawley Rugby Football Club, about their exciting plans and sixty-five year history? The group started in 1950 and was based at West Green playing fields until 1993, now the 300 amateur members play in impressive facilities at Willoughby Fields in Ifield – much to the envy of visiting groups, as the club’s hon. treasurer Mark Keeley explains: “The new clubhouse and pitches are the envy of most clubs that visit; the club has hosted many county and national sides over the years including England U19s when Johnny Wilkinson played for them.” Welcoming players of all ages and abilities, the group is run entirely by volunteers, who hope to bring the enjoyment of playing rugby to all – regardless of age, gender or capability. “As an amateur club we are run purely by volunteers, giving their free time and we rely on the members subscriptions to pay the way, but, being an amateur club doesn’t mean that we lack ambition,” Mark says, “On the contrary! We are determined to play the best standard of amateur rugby that we can, to raise the profile of Crawley RFC and the game in a positive manner.” The group’s members, not only enjoy playing rugby, but also the social aspect of the sport too,

with social events, fundraising and comedy nights taking place regularly: “We are pleased to host a quarterly Sunday afternoon social event dedicated to the support and wellbeing of young adults with learning disabilities. This is organised working alongside a number of local charities including The Aldingbourne Trust.” “Our clubhouse, open seven days a week throughout the year, is the hub for a variety of events including fundraisers, comedy nights, meetings and social clubs and is available for private hire. We also have both pool and darts teams playing in competitive mid-week leagues.” In the run up to the Rugby World Club, CRFC are planning events to get the whole of the community involved, with many fun activities – that don’t necessarily mean visitors need to play rugby… “On 2nd August, we’ll be holding a touch rugby tournament, involving local businesses and community clubs,” the club treasurer tells us. “During the build up to the RWC itself we will have activities around the warm-up games and then every match from September 18th through to October 31st. We’ll be having quiz, race and bingo nights before many of the live games.” Find out more about Crawley RFC by visiting: www.crawleyrfc.co.uk or contacting Mark on: mkeeley@lineone.net or 07967 169121.

Community Fayre Celebrates 40 Years!

rawley Down residents are currently in the midst of preparations for this year’s Crawley Down Village Fayre, on Saturday 5th September which has now been running for forty years! The annual event is organised, by just six passionate village residents, and aims to bring the local community together for a day of fun and fundraising:

Local groups, including the village’s WI, Scouts, Guides, Brownies, Social Club and Monday Club will all be taking part in the feel-good community event, with many hoping to raise money (as well as awareness!) for their organisations, through “It is great to see people enjoying themselves and having stalls – so be sure to check them out! having a good time. It makes all of the hard work worthwhile,” organiser Elaine Anscombe tells us. Meanwhile, profits for the Crawley Down Residents Association contribute towards the annual “This year’s Fayre on the village green will start at children’s Christmas event (where children are 2pm until 6pm, where we will have live bands, given gifts by Father Christmas) and also for children’s entertainment including Punch and community-based grants.

Regulation and Asset Protection Trusts W

e at Good Wills and many other members of The Society of Will Writers and Estate Planning Practitioners were extremely disappointed when the Legal Services Board ruled that estate administration in England & Wales should not be restricted to qualified professionals. This means that anyone can set themselves up as an estate planner without any training; exams; regulation; or insurance. Therefore, it is up to the customer to check that the company they use is registered with The Society of Will Writers, the Institute of Professional Will Writers or the Law Society. This guarantees that you will get a professional service, by someone who has completed the necessary training and is required to top-up that training each year to keep up with current laws. It also means that there is a complaints procedure and insurance in place to cover any problems.

The registered bodies are there to regulate their members and ensure they only offer the best advice and services. Recently eight unregulated people were given prison sentences after they had made over £250,000 in just two years by mis-selling their clients Asset Protection Trusts. These Trusts were set up for the sole purpose of avoiding their homes being sold to fund their care fees. This is deliberate deprivation of assets and, as such, the local authority can challenge and overturn any Trust set up for this purpose. Good Wills & Estate Planning Limited is regulated by The Society of Will Writers & Estate Planning Practitioners and we are able to assist with all aspects of your estate planning.

Hot Favourites O

ur summer weather isn’t usually unbearably warm; in fact it is often pretty cool and a little bit of extra heat would be very welcome. With a little bit of planning and some careful planting, you could turn your garden into the hottest site out, regardless of the real weather. You can plant to create a mass of hot colours. All you have to do is plant beds, borders or containers full of hot reds, screaming yellows and glowing oranges. True, most of the planting is best done in the autumn, but a visit to a garden centre at this time of year will reveal a fabulous display of plants which can be put to good use in your garden now. For real energy and vibrancy, choose plenty of yellows and golds, including some of the golden rods (Solidago), which should be flowering well into September. I am a great fan of coreopsis, including the various forms of Coreopsis verticillata, which flowers well into the autumn and is unlikely to need staking. If you like to see flat looking flower heads in your garden then take a closer peep at some of the achilleas, including ‘Coronation Gold’. No late summer border is complete without the cone flowers or rudbekias with their deliciously bright, daisy-like flowers - these should last you through October. For some screaming scarlets and other shades of red, consider growing the dahlia ‘Bishop of Llandaff’, Crocosmia ‘Lucifer’, Lychnis chalcedonica. In damper areas you could use Lobelia ‘Queen Victoria’ or many of the other moisture-loving types of lobelia which produce huge spires of red flowers, so different from those tiny blue, pink and white bedding lobelias which are more widely grown. Don’t forget to tend to your hot border again in the autumn, when you will find small versions of many of these plants readily available in garden centres, often at only a couple of pounds per pot and when you will also be able to plant some more warming oranges and reds using bulbs and corms.

To make sure that your summer time plantings do well, take heed of the following tips: • If it’s a hot day, try to plant in early evening or at least late afternoon when the main heat of the sun has died down. • Always make sure that plants are really well watered before you put them in the ground. • Soak the compost thoroughly and make sure that it’s wetted right to the base before you begin. • Incorporate plenty of bulky organic matter, such as garden compost, well-rotted manure or some proprietary compost from your garden centre, as this will help to retain moisture. • Once the plants are in position, water them in thoroughly - the water needs to go right down to where the plant needs it, at its roots. • Once the soil is moist, apply a good, deep mulch of 2–3 inches (5–7.5 cm), all around the soil surface. This will help to keep moisture in, protect the plant roots from the heat of the sun and at the same time keep weeds at bay.

Using

neutral colours

With an almost infinite range of colours from pure white to earthy tones of grey and beige, neutrals are timelessly fashionable. By Katherine Sorrel

xperts agree that you should always paint walls a neutral colour. Unless a potential buyer shares your exact taste, they will be put off by rooms painted in vibrant colours. But what if you’re building or renovating a home that you plan to stay in? Aren’t neutrals just a little boring? Only when you get it wrong. A well-planned neutral scheme is good-looking yet understated, harmonious, calm and inviting. Neutrals work well in both old and new houses, small or large spaces and are brilliant at providing cohesion between rooms. Let’s start with white. Rooms painted pure white can appear bigger and brighter, thanks to the way the colour reflects light around. A clean white wall is a great background for vibrant paintings, for the coloured spines of books, or simply for a jug of flowers. On the other hand, though, white can appear cold, stark and unwelcoming, especially when a room is north- or eastfacing and doesn’t have the benefit of direct sunlight. A white with an added touch of yellow or pink can warm up such a space.

/RHUncovered

White can also look odd in period homes. Slightly muddier off-whites are often a better choice for an old cottage, Georgian terrace or a barn conversion. The lesson is to use pure white with care. Beyond white, neutrals vary in hue from cream to sand, through beige to stone. How do you choose? The best advice is to eliminate neutrals that you don’t like and those that won’t suit the architecture of your house or colours of your furniture. Next, paint at least two coats on a large piece of white card, or better still, on several pieces of card, and stick them on every wall around the room. Observe the colours at different times of day and with your lights both on and off. Having chosen your favourite colour, avoid using it everywhere. Even the nicest neutral can be boring if used indiscriminately. Be careful, however, when combining neutrals: another big mistake is to use different hues that are all of the same tone (slightly different colours but the same degree of lightness or darkness).

01293 824088

The solution to both these problems is to take a colour chart and go up or down (dark to light) within the same colour family, rather than working across from colour to colour. Use darker tones for woodwork, with lighter ones for walls or, if you have features such as cornices and dadoes, you may wish to vary the wall tones with lighter ones above and darker ones below the divisions. You can also use different neutrals to provide a gentle visual link from room to room. Finally, bear in mind that the plainer the colours, the more important texture becomes, so choose your finishes with as much care as you do your colours. The shinier the finish, the paler the colour will appear, so you may need to compensate by choosing a slightly darker shade. The results should be stylish and easy to live with, as well as adding value to your property. Now who said neutrals were boring?

Five Boredom Busting Tips Play-date

On Yer Bike

Play-dates give children the opportunity to let-off steam, socialise and allow their imaginations to run wild. They also provide parents/ carers with a few minutes of peace, while their little one is occupied = win, win. Organise a few hours of play with a friend, each week – perhaps you could take it in turns to look after the children, so that you get a well-deserved break too?

We’re constantly told that today’s generation of children aren’t active enough, with a recent campaign from Change4Life finding that 72% don’t take part in the recommended daily hour of activity. Sunny, warm days provide the perfect excuse to get out and about and enjoy that daily dose of exercise. Try cycling, skipping or playing football – or even think about holding your very own sports day!

Many parents feel under pressure to do something spectacular each day of the summer holidays, however, finance (it’s estimated that parents spends £1200 on holiday activities, per child!), time restrictions and work commitments can mean that this just isn’t realistic. Instead, focus on making long-lasting memories that the kids will look back and remember. Whether it’s feeding the ducks, having an indoor picnic or enjoying a family day out at a theme park – just enjoy spending time together, after all, they’ll be back at school again soon…

Regardless of their age, getting messy and creative is always a great way of spending a few hours. It can also be beneficial to their growth too, with studies suggesting that children who enjoy making things, not only develop higher thinking skills, but also their self-esteem skills too. For little ones, unleash the finger paints, colouring books or create sock-puppets, and for older children, why not let them customise unworn clothes or tired trainers into something cool and trendy? It’s up to you whether you let them loose with the sewing machine or glue gun…

Make Memories Get Crafty

Host a Bake Off Who doesn’t like cake? Find your favourite recipes (or perhaps teach the kids a family recipe!) and start baking, to create delicious concoctions, well deserved of that Star Baker title. Invite friends and family to take part too and make an afternoon of it – who knows, you could just have a future Mary Berry or Paul Hollywood in your midst!

Essentials to carry on a long journey

Summer (car) Loving

ou’ll often see ‘Winter Checks’ advertised heavily in garages as the seasons change to colder weather, but it’s just as important to give your car the once-over in preparation for the summer months, whether you are planning to go on a long journey or not. I’m sure we’ve all seen the poor people stranded at the side of the road in the baking sun, bonnet up, car loaded to the roof with suitcases and inflatable crocodiles, and plumes of smoke or steam coming from under their bonnet. For a short moment we are thankful that it’s not us. But if you haven’t had your car serviced recently, or at least looked over as part of a summer check, a few miles up the road it could be you. Increasingly these days the motor trade is seeing less of a maintenance culture and more of a ‘fix it when it breaks’ mind set. Which is a shame, because more often than not a hefty bill can be avoided with regular maintenance. But that’s another story entirely. So, whether you take advantage of our current offer on free summer checks, you pop in to your own local garage, or you do it at home yourself, it’s 100% worth doing if you want to avoid being ‘that person’ at the side of the road. Check your levels It sounds silly, but when the vehicle is cold, check that the engine oil, coolant, screen wash, power steering and brake fluids are all at the correct levels. Cooling system You probably wont be able to do this yourself, but the cooling system is put under enormous strain in the summer months. A cooling fan that sees little use in the winter could be required all of the time in the summer: Especially if you get stuck in holiday traffic, which is almost inevitable. The strength and condition of the coolant is also important. A correct coolant mix has a higher boiling point than one that consists only of water.

• First Aid kit  Warning Triangle • High visibility jacket  Fire extinguisher • Empty fuel can • Additional engine oil and water (for topping up the car) • Bottled water (for topping up yourself in the event of a breakdown) • An up-to-date map (or at least a decent app on your phone) Wiper blades and windscreen Check your wiper blades for wear and splits, check the condition of your windscreen and also give it a clean as by the time a few dead insects make their way onto it and a bit of dazzling sunlight, you’ll soon be needing those washers and wipers. Auxiliary drive belt Also known as a fan belt, this length of rubber is often responsible for running most of your car’s additional facilities. We’re talking power steering, air conditioning, the alternator that charges your battery and, in some instances, the engine’s water pump. If this breaks on you, it’s not quite as simple as using a pair of your nan’s tights to get you out of trouble like it was in the olden days. It needs to be checked for wear, deterioration and splits. Tyres Tyres are always an important thing to check, whatever the time of year, so you need to be checking for tread depth (legal limit 1.6mm), general condition and of course tyre pressures – remembering to put more air in as instructed if you are loading the car up with kids and luggage. Jack, wheel brace and locking wheel nut key It sounds silly, but it’s worth checking that your jack works, that you have a wheel brace and you know where your locking wheel nut key is. The last thing you want to be doing is emptying out a car full of kids and luggage to find these things only to realise that they are in your garage at home, in the event of a flat tyre.

Ready to

ﬂy the nest

oon it will be the school holidays. The time of year that we see some of our children become young adults, gaining their flight feathers, ready to leave the nest on the next stage of their journey. Taking that step into a new world from the comfort of your home can be like taking a giant leap into the unknown. Are you that young adult ready but anxious about that next step, or a parent or guardian? Here are seven top tips to help that transition from childhood to young adulthood. 1. Talk about your feelings with friends, family, or mentors. Do not see it as a weakness to talk about your fears and anxieties. I am not only talking about children but parents too. I have a mentor. She guides me and allows me to share my worries and anxieties.

4. Get involved in campus activities. What hobbies would you like to explore and expand? Most colleges and universities have great social environments to become involved in. 5. Never ignore your feelings or try to drown them by drinking, taking drugs, or other types of risky behaviour. 6. Learn what helps you relax. Do you have a favourite track to relax to? Learn forms of relaxation such as meditation or self-hypnosis. 7. Remember to balance out work and study, or you’ll burn out. Structure your time and work towards finding a healthy balance. Find a mentor. We all need a guiding hand from time to time. Have someone to talk it all through with.

2. Take time to get used to your new environment. Take some familiar home comforts with you. A favourite duvet, cushion or other object. Put pictures and things from home in your room.

I mentor individuals all around the world. Right now I am working with a young lady in Egypt via Skype. It’s so interesting. She has felt a huge burden lift off her shoulders after just two mentoring sessions.

3. Plan to visit home as regularly as time allows. Arrange people to see and things to do. Keep in contact via phone, Internet, or Skype.

What is hypnotherapy? Hypnotherapy is a natural state of heightened awareness that occurs within all of us. It allows us to open our minds to beneficial suggestions and allows the client to use their imagination to make positive changes. A brief way to describe a feeling similar to hypnosis is that moment you’ve been watching TV and not heard a word that’s been said, even though you’ve been staring straight at the screen. Alternatively it’s the car journey where you wonder how you got to a certain place. Your mind is on auto-pilot and must have been in control, otherwise there would probably have been an accident. What can hypnotherapy help with? • Agoraphobia • Anxiety • Blushing • Confidence Building • Depression • Fears and Phobias • Gambling • Guilt • Habits and Compulsions • IBS • Insecurity • Insomnia • Memory Recall • Nail biting • Nervousness • Pain Control • Obsessive Compulsive Disorder • Panic Attacks • Public Speaking • Smoking • Stress Management • Timidity • Trauma • Weight Problems • Worry
