Welcome to our January issue and a Happy New Year!

We’re off to a healthy start this year with clever ideas for creating a home gym to keep you fit even if you don’t have a regular gym membership, and for those of us who have over-indulged during the festive period, some great advice from Becky our health guru about staying dry in January.

It’s not only adults who can feel a little down after the excitement of the holiday season, children can be affected too and we’ve rounded up some great advice on how to help them beat those January Blues.

All this and of course our regular community features and What’s On pages continue – if you hold regular community events or run a local club then please do let us know, we are always happy to include them for you.

Wishing you all success with your New Year resolutions!

Intro - 3

The Award Winning, Sussex Health Care Group are excited to announce the opening of their brand new purpose built care facilities at Rapkyns Care Centre, Broadbridge Health, nr. Horsham.

The facilities are comprised of two buildings, each purpose-built, consisting of four 10 bedded units. These are specifically for clients with acquired brain injury and neurological conditions as well as for people with autism or young people leaving school or college with profound learning and physical disabilities.

These buildings bring a exciting new service to potential clients which include all the latest technologies and also provides residential, respite and outreach placements.

Within the grounds, there is a brand new gymnasium facility which provides equal opportunities and access regardless of the service user’s ability or health status.

Providing the right support to enable service users to train in a safe and highly effective manner. Whether it is to work on strength, fitness or just increase general health, service users will receive all the help and motivation to help them achieve their goal.

What’s more, this service is available to people within the local community as well as for people who are living in a residential setting or at home seeking a private outreach service.

Sussex Health Cares enthusiasm for the latest high-tech, interactive technology systems are of a strong focal point. New interactive technology systems have been installed, whereby service users are encouraged to make choices which can involve number games, pictorial and floor games. All of which are fantastic sensory learning tools that have the capacity to engage the service users and are suitable for any ability.

Whether the choice is to play individually or interact with one another in a group, the systems can be controlled by simply moving on or over the projected image or by using their eyes as a mouse.

The team at Rapkyns Care Centre are genuinely passionate about the people in their care and their wellbeing is always at the centre of everything they do.

As well as the use of the above new services, service users attend social outings and outreach services with the help and support of the homes dedicated mini bus service.

Arts, Crafts and Cooking seem to be one of the many popular activities along with the strong emphasis around community presence. Rapkyns Care Centre has the added benefit of a beautiful and diverse landscape, which clients are encouraged to explore and utilise as stimulation for their creative projects.

The sessions are intended to trigger the learning of new skills or improve those they already have.

Sussex Health Care is committed to genuine inclusion for people of any ability.

Happy New Year!

Christmas may be over, but there’s no need to get those New Year blues – especially as there’s so much to inspire you happening in our community not only this month, but also during the coming year too.

For this issue, I’ve been finding out about how our volunteers are being celebrated locally and also uncovering why so many residents decide to volunteer – a great read, especially if you are looking to do something different or add new skills to your bow during 2015.

As always, our man in the know, MP Henry Smith shares his insights in to all the government goings-on, affecting our area too.

Don’t forget, I’m always looking for good news stories to feature, so if you’ve got something to shout about – just get in touch!

Have a great month,

Local Theatres

Benefit from Tax relief By the time the January edition of RH10 Uncovered goes to print, I will have already taken my children to the pantomime at the Ifield Barn Theatre in Crawley!

We’re looking forward to watching Beauty and the Beast at this historic venue!

And I am delighted to see that a new Theatre Tax Relief has recently come into effect, with community groups such as Ifield Barn in mind.

Local theatres are important to every community, and it is right that the Government have brought in this tax relief, which started in September.

I have contacted both Ifield Barn and The Hawth, and I hope that they will be able to benefit from the initiative.

The scheme can apply to a range of live performances including plays, musicals, opera, ballet and circus productions, and will provide an additional corporation tax deduction, or a payable tax

credit, worth up to 25 per cent of qualifying expenditure for touring productions, and 20 per cent for all other productions. It builds on tax reliefs which already exist for film, high-end television, animation and video games.

I am sure that Crawley’s theatres will benefit from this tax relief for many years to come and so will we as local residents.

Best wishes Henry Smith MP 020 7219 7043 - Westminster 01293 934554 - Crawley

Something New for the New Year

If you’re yet to make a New Year’s resolution, why not make it to volunteer in our community? As Sarah Elliston from Crawley’s Community and Voluntary Service explains, it’s even more rewarding than you may think:

Shelley suggested a local organisation, whose clients who were having difficulties with their language. The role was to get to know clients, chat to them and help them to participate in games and activities.

Crawley Volunteer Centre is here to help you make those first steps in becoming a volunteer, by providing helpful, friendly, informal advice on what you can do. The Centre is responsible for helping people match their interests, skills and time to volunteering vacancies that exist within a wide variety of different organisations in the Crawley area.

Since starting volunteering, she now works full time. She said “It was great getting to know clients, and to realise how much they get out of it too. There’s so much need out there. Volunteering has really opened my eyes to it. My stint volunteering helped me gain valuable experience in working with vulnerable adults and I think it helped me when I was looking for work as I was able to demonstrate up to date practical communication skills to my employer.”

Last year, Shelley from the Volunteer Centre met with a potential volunteer who was interested in buddying or friendship work. They had an in-depth chat, which helped the volunteer to narrow down her options and 12 - Community

Over to you

why do you volunteer “I got involved with St Catherine’s not long after the hospice opened,” Rosemary Bentley says. “I had previously been a nurse, so I volunteered on the wards every Monday. Nearly 30 years on I’m still here, doing anything from helping patients with their breakfast to making beds and talking to patients and their families.

I love being part of the St Catherine’s team; I wouldn’t swap my Mondays for anything. “ Maria Box volunteer for Autism Support Crawley tells us: “It’s so rewarding being able to help people in a similar situation.

We have become a lifeline to so many and I am so proud of what we have achieved and the wonderful reputation we now have. It’s hard work, but it’s all worth it when you know you’ve helped someone that would have been lost without us.”

SUPPORT FOR PEOPLE FACING LIFE THREATENING ILLNESS

Volunteer 2015

The Brigitte Trust offers a free service of emotional support and practical help at home when a life-threatening illness has been diagnosed.

Volunteers are trained throughout the year and visit locally. Please contact Sharon on 01306 881816 or visit our website www.brigittetrust.org

You are not alone we are here to help Support Centre in Crawley provides support to anyone affected by cancer.

Receiving a diagnosis of cancer is difficult, stressful and emotional, both for the patient and for their family and friends.

Statistically, one in three of us will develop cancer, but when it strikes close to home it can feel overwhelming.

The Olive Tree provides a haven: somewhere to go and be with people who understand, and can help.

Our team of 85 volunteers offers free information, advice, and therapeutic care to support all those affected by cancer from the point of diagnosis, through treatment and beyond.

Would you like to join our team?

The Olive Tree is staffed almost entirely by volunteers and we are always keen to recruit new team members. Opportunities exist for qualified complementary therapists and for people with office skills. Additionally, in late 2015 we are expanding our reach by partnering with Macmillan and East Surrey Hospital to set up a similar cancer support centre. We are also seeking additional trustees with experience in fundraising, marketing & PR, strategic planning and business.

The Olive Tree began as a small support group for cancer sufferers. Over 21 years later, it’s a thriving centre, providing practical support for many local people. It receives no statutory funding and relies entirely on the generosity of others.

Please call us on 01293 534465 or visit our website www.olivetreecancersupport.org www.mantramagazines.co.uk

“The Olive Tree Centre has provided me with the most amazing support since my initial diagnosis and especially since finding out that my cancer has spread.

The treatments have helped me cope so much better with my situation and helped me realise that life can still be good and enjoyable despite everything.

I have absolute trust in everyone working at the Olive Tree and know this is somewhere I can come and feel welcome, safe and cared for.”

Local Family Support Charity

Launches Snowflake Appeal Crawley, Horsham and Mid Sussex based charity HomeStart CHAMS, which last year supported 327 children in 146 vulnerable families locally, is urging residents to support it’s first ever Snowflake Appeal.

Launching at the end of 2014 and running until 31st January, the appeal (backed by Home-Start CHAMS ambassador Kirstie Allsop) aims to raise funds needed to continue supporting vulnerable local children and families who are struggling to cope.

“Many young children face tragedy and hardship,” said Liz Roe, Manager at Home-Start CHAMS,

“When families struggle to cope with illness, disability, bereavement, poor housing, mental ill health, or many of these problems at once, Home-Start supports them until they can stand on their own two feet again. ” However, the charity (which now needs over £200,000 per year to aid those who need their help) cannot keep up with demand for its support, with the number of families referred to them for help rising almost 20% in the last year.

“We are asking people to do something they love to help raise funds,” Jacquie Thomas, Fundraising and Marketing

Manager at Home-Start CHAMS explains.

“Whether you get sponsored to run to the North Pole (on a treadmill at your gym!), or get your school involved in a Snowflake bake sale – there is a way to fundraise to suit everyone.”

Fundraising packs and ideas for the Snowflake Appeal can be found at www.homestartchams.org. uk/snowflake or by calling 01293 416327 – but be quick, the appeal ends on 31st January!

A Good Start For The Gatwick School

by head teacher Simon Ruscoe-Price Our last school term has been a really positive and exciting start for the Gatwick School.

Students at the school are making very good progress in their learning and the positive support from parents and pupils is overwhelming.

We have been really warmly welcomed into the community and have established some strong links with our local business community and look forward to continuing to develop these excellent learning opportunities.

The open evenings were a resounding success and really demonstrated the positive ethos of the school. It was so nice to see both parents and students talking about their learning experience with such enthusiasm. It really shows how, whilst being focused on achievement, we also enjoy learning.

Our students worked with representatives from various different sectors at Gatwick airport as we explored what makes a business community.

Our students also went to Crawter’s Brook to install bee hotels and our reception pupils have made a delightful book about their “Impressions of a People’s Park” which was given

14 - Community

to the Duke of Gloucester when he opened the park.

During 2015, the school building program will begin and will give us excellent school facilities, including a large sports hall, state of the art science and technology rooms.

We look forward to welcoming more students into next year’s Reception and Year 7 classes as we grow.

I would like to wish all students from all schools a very happy new year “onwards and upwards” To advertise call - 01293 824088

All the fun of a dog without the commitment!

Dog lovers across the UK are enjoying the opportunity of being “dog-parents” – thanks to dog boarding company Wagging Tails. Local lady Sue Day runs the RH Postcode branch of Wagging Tails, providing exclusive holiday homes for dogs across much of Sussex and Surrey.

So how does it work and what do you need to consider when deciding to become a dog carer?

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

We are looking for genuine dog lovers with experience of dog ownership, people who are at home during the day, have their own secure garden, no children under the age of 6, and either no dogs of their own or one friendly dog. As a carer you will look after just the dog(s) of one family at any one time, and the owner will visit you with their dog before their holiday for a “sniffing out meeting” to ensure it’s a match made in heaven! Finally, you’ll even earn a little income from being a carer.

Wagging Tails provides the opportunity to fill that doggy sized hole in your life, or perhaps to have a playmate for your own friendly dog, while providing the back-up of a multi award winning company.

Julia from Lindfield said: “I became a Wagging Tails carer because I missed my own dog so much after having him for 13 years. It is very reassuring to have the support of Sue and Wagging Tails and it’s wonderful meeting such nice owners and laughing at the antics of dogs in my care.”

Becky Wells, www.beckywells.com Personal Development Hypnotherapist www.payitforwarduk.net

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?

• Addictions (e.g. alcoholism, nicotine) • Anger management • Anxiety • Blushing • Bruxism (teeth grinding) • Chronic Fatigue Syndrome* • Depression • Eating Disorders • Exam Nerves • Fear of Flying • Food Addiction • Gastric Band Hypnotherapy • Insomnia • Internet addiction • Irritable Bowel Syndrome • Low Self Confidence • Low Self-Esteem • Obsessions & Compulsions • Childbirth • Confidence • Fears and phobias • Grief • Habits e.g. nail biting • Health • Memory • Relaxation • Performance • Personal development • Regression • Relationships • Sexual problems • Sleep Disorders • Sports performance • Stress and anxiety • Weight loss To advertise call - 01293 824088

New Year’s Resolution?

Get healthy with a home gym

Getting into shape at home has many advantages over going to the gym No travel time membership fees or queuing and you can also wear your most embarrassing tracksuit writes Katherine Sorrell Where to start If space is an issue, it’s possible to plan some exercise space in the smallest shared room.

The key is to decide whether you want to increase your strength, reduce your fat, tone your body, or a combination of all three.

It will cost you - machines can cost from several hundred to several thousand pounds each, depending on their complexity.

The practicalities

Don’t install a gym containing heavy equipment (even a treadmill can weigh 150kg) on an upper floor without advice The smallest safe area in which from a structural engineer. to exercise is about ten square Remember also that running on the treadmill or following feet, and this could simply be an aerobics DVD can be noisy the corner of a room with a clear, cushioned floor, adequate so avoid siting it above or adjacent to a ceiling height and reasonable living room lighting. Keep a deflatable Swiss ball, one or two medicine or bedroom.

If you enjoy balls, some resistance bands your music and a heart-rate monitor in very loud, you may want a cupboard or drawer. Other to consider some form of equipment that takes up little space includes a skipping rope, additional soundproofing, too. dumb bells or hand weights, a cable stack of weights that can Place any permanent equipment so that you can use tuck into a corner or a folding it and move around it safely bike or rower. particularly if two or more of you will be using the area.

At the other extreme, the sky It makes sense to group is the limit - a cross-trainer, treadmill and rowing machine, cardio-vascular type equipment (treadmill, cross-trainer and an area for weight training or bike) together, perhaps lined yoga, somewhere to stretch up facing a view or a TV. to warm up and down, and You need space at each side perhaps a mini trampoline to swing your arms and step or a punch bag, with proper on and off, with at least a metre flooring and a run-off behind the treadmill. full-length If you mirror the back wall, mirror. put your strength area here, 36 - Homes

with dumb bells, a bench or even a multi-gym, allowing adequate space to use each item.

You’ll need at least one opening window for ventilation, and you may like a fan too as well as heating for the colder months.

The ideal floor would be non-slip and easy to keep clean, perhaps wood laminate with a thick underlay.

For floor exercises, the cheapest option is to unroll a mat; alternatively, you could cover the entire floor in 10-15mm thick rubberised gym matting.

Lighting should be adequate but not over-bright. Inset ceiling lights are ideal however avoid dangling pendants and jutting wall lights that could be annoying or even dangerous.

One last essential is music.

Whether you choose a portable radio, MP3 player with headphones or a bespoke music system with hidden speakers and smart controls, you can choose between Fleetwood Mac or Rihanna, crank up the volume and become that super-honed athlete you always wanted to be.

Wrap up

For Winter

Winter is upon us and even if you think that it can’t become any colder, the lowest temperatures are likely yet to come.

Even hardy British plants will suffer in particularly miserable weather so whether your garden is already covered in snow and ice, or simply a slight frosting, it’s time to make sure that it’s wrapped up warm.

Larger individual plants in borders can be given good, individual protection if you use four sturdy canes to create a framework, wrap with netting or chicken wire and fill the central space around the plant with dry bracken, straw or leaves.

Many wall shrubs are grown there because they aren’t the hardiest of plants. To reduce risk of damage, make a similar ‘cage’ of mesh around these and again fill it with dry material so that the plant inside remains snug. Make sure you don’t use materials that can’t ‘breathe’ or the plants will deteriorate.

Plants in containers are particularly vulnerable to winter damage as their roots are not protected beneath the soil.

If the garden soil isn’t frozen solid, plunge any pot that can be plunged. If it’s too heavy to move then wrap it up well in bubble Evergreens in containers and in wrap polythene or old curtains. open ground may suffer from drought as well as foliage or stem Most shrubs and trees in your growth. Deep mulch applied to garden will be ‘hardy’ in the the soil surface on the root area UK, but if very harsh weather before the ground becomes is forecast or there has been a frosted will help immensely. spell of mild weather which may have encouraged the plant to Even hardy fruit trees are produce some soft, new growth, prone to damage. Although then drape a double layer of quite tough, the newly horticultural fleece over the opened blossom and the buds top growth of the plants and themselves may be damaged, anchor it well. with late frosts being most harmful because the buds are A double fleece layer can of further developed. A fleece cover course be used on plants in beds will help here too. If you live in a and borders too. Weigh down particularly cold area, buy them the edges of the fleece well from a local specialist nursery with bricks, or use metal pegs at who know local conditions and intervals along its length. try to buy late flowering varieties.

46 - Gardens

If your garden is windy, try investing in some fleecy jackets for your favourite shrubs.

These are made from fleece and are like massive bags, complete with a drawstring at the open end. Alternatively use a double layer of ordinary fleece, wrap it around and cut to size before clipping or tying in place.

Outdoor taps and pipework will need protection too or could result in burst pipes and expensive bills. I suggest turning outside taps off at the mains, but if this isn’t feasible, make sure any exposed pipework is properly insulated. Your local builder’s merchant or DIY store is worth a visit for this job - well insulated pipes and garden taps could save you a fortune.

Beat Those January Blues After the excitement of the Christmas holidays and lazy days filled with festive fun, January – and the start of a new school term - can be a shock to the system for many children.

But don’t despair, to combat the New Year blues, follow our top tips for a happy and healthy start to 2015:

Routines are important

Breakfast is best

After school activities are exciting

While many of us think routines can be mundane, they are actually vital to our children’s development.

According to a study from the Princes Trust, the Prince of Wales’ youth charity, children who don’t have a daily routine are reported to achieve worse school results than classmates who have a set bedtime and eat meals as a family.

When planning your children’s New Year routine, don’t forget to allocate time for a hearty breakfast. We’re constantly told that it is the most important meal of the day.

A recent survey, by Diabetes UK, even finding that children who enjoy a daily breakfast, reduce their risk of developing type two diabetes - so make this the year that both you and your family start the day refuelled and raring to go. On tight timings in the morning?

Don’t worry, many schools offer affordable and even free breakfast clubs, just contact yours to find out more.

Extra–curricular activities are not only enjoyable for children, but can also provide them with great social and adaptability skills, as well as widening their level of learning. From playing sports to dancing, getting arty or joining a scouts or brownies group, there’s a wide variety of activities for your child to get involved in locally. Best of all, if you decide to implement a rewards system, these clubs can be included as a good behaviour benefit!

By devising (and sticking to!) a simple schedule that works for your family, may also mean that those rushed mornings and teary tantrums are a thing of the past. Just give it time!
