Henry Smith

Re-elected

It was humbling to be re-elected as Member of Parliament for Crawley, with an increased majority in May.

The results were declared on the 70th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day. I never fail to remember the sacrifices made to ensure that we have a democracy at all. It was an honour to attend the VE Day commemorations in the Memorial Gardens, just hours after the General Election – appropriately my first official engagement of the new Parliament.

To those who voted for me, my sincere thanks; however, if you didn’t or couldn’t I’m here to help every Crawley constituent.

If there is any issue you’d like me to assist you on or if you wish for me to raise a particular issue with the Government then please write to me at Henry Smith MP, House of Commons, London, SW1A 0AA, call: 01293 934554 or email: henry. smith.mp@parliament.uk Want to keep up to date on my activities working for Crawley?

Turners Hill Village Fete Summer months in RH10 are jam-packed full of great community fetes, festivals and carnivals, and are the perfect excuse to get out and about, meeting like-minded local residents, groups and organisations.

This year’s Turners Hill Village Fete and Fun Dog Show hopes to tick all of the boxes listed above, when it returns to the village’s recreation ground on Sunday 19th July, from 1:45pm.

All proceeds will go directly to village causes and organisations; including local clubs, Turners Hill School and churches.

On Saturday 27th June, Bob Taylor took on a 376ft abseil challenge to raise money for a charity that helped to save his life, when he suffered a heart attack in his Crawley office.

Bob, who suddenly collapsed, on a January morning in 2012, aged just 57, was given CPR by a quick-thinking colleague, whilst paramedics and Kent, Surrey and Sussex Air Ambulance rushed to the scene to deliver vital post-resuscitation care.

Community Hero: Crawley Down’s

Adrian Kirkpatrick

W

orking as a firefighter is not just a career for so many, it’s a caring way of life.

This month’s Community Hero has not only worked as a firefighter for over twelve years, but is also a member of West Sussex Technical Rescue Unit – a small team that can be deployed nationally and internationally to major incidents such as collapsed buildings, major floods, earthquakes and Tsunamis. We caught up with Adrian, who lives in Crawley Down, on return from a search and rescue deployment after the recent devastating earthquake in Nepal: “I enjoy the thrill of not knowing what our next job might be, it could be a relatively simple horse or cow rescue in West Sussex or to help with the relief effort following an earthquake in an overseas destination,” the dad of two tells us.

“The deployment to Nepal was my first international search and rescue mission and I had the honour of leading the West Sussex team.

Taking our place amongst the 67 strong UK team and working together to help the Nepalese community in their time of need has been the proudest moment of my career so far.”

Adrian, who has lived in the village for most of his life and also served time in the army, joined the Technical Rescue Unit (TRU) in 2013 and as, he explains, can be called to help rescue animals and people locally, nationally and even internationally:

10

/RHUncovered

“The TRU carry out rescues that involve animals, rope work, swift water, flood and confined spaces.

Day to day the majority of our calls involve animal rescues, we get a lot of calls to horses and other animals that are trapped or stuck.”

“The team has also been deployed to New Zealand after an earthquake, Japan following a Tsunami and Haiti following another earthquake. Closer to home, last year, we were deployed to Reading to help with the flooding and we helped UKAID, with the logistics of sending aid to the Ebola crisis.”

Sarah Smith, West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service Communications Officer adds: “Adrian is part of a larger team making a real difference in often dreadful circumstances. We are extremely proud of Adrian and the other members of our Technical Rescue Unit whose search and rescue expertise is internationally recognised.”

A big thank you to Adrian to finding time to chat with us! If you are interested in joining the fire service, visit: www.westsussex.gov.uk/fire.

Court of Protection Deputyship F

ollowing on from our article on the importance of Lasting Powers of Attorneys (LPAs), this tells you what happens if you do not have LPAs. Once you have lost capacity an attorney cannot be appointed. An application has to be made to the Court of Protection, usually by close relatives or friends, to appoint a deputy, or deputies, to act for you.

A property and finance deputy must have skills to make financial decisions for someone else.

An application must be made detailing everyone applying for deputyship, why they are needed, and why those named should be selected.

A list of interested parties must also be supplied (other relatives, friends, healthcare workers) and a notice sent to each, allowing them to object. A separate court order to sell a property that’s jointly owned may be needed.

Finance deputies must ensure all property and money is held separately from their own, may be required to manage a Court Funds Office account in addition and submit annual accounts.

Personal welfare deputies must also get permission. This involves completing various forms, one of which must be signed by the person’s doctor or healthcare worker.

A deputy cannot make the decision to stop life-sustaining treatments (unlike an attorney in an LPA if given this power).

Some professionals are paid to act as deputies (accountants, solicitors, the local authority). The Court can appoint a specialist deputy from an approved list if they reject the people who have applied, which often happens.

Initial costs include £400 application fee plus £500 if the Court requests a hearing.

An annual supervision fee – usually £320 – and a £100 fee for the assessment of a new deputy also applies. There is an annual insurance “bond” set by the Court that can be anywhere between £100 and £500.

@rhuncovered

Fixed rates apply if the Court appoints a professional which are £1,500 plus VAT for the first year and £1,185 plus VAT for each year thereafter.

Where the assets are below £16,000, a professional finance deputy may take an annual fee up to 4.5%. Where the court appoints a professional welfare deputy (social services), they may take an annual fee up to 2.5% capped at £500. Annual charges for the report, accounts and HMRC tax return also apply.

The only way to ensure the people you choose can make decisions for you is to draw up Lasting Powers of Attorneys. They must be registered before they can be used which takes weeks and therefore we never recommend not registering them immediately. If in doubt please contact Good Wills and / or speak to your GP.

RH Uncovered: Case Study The Brigitte Trust

CASE F ILE

Client:

The Brigitte Trust is an independent registered charity offering emotional support and practical help at home to people facing life-threatening illness. They first contacted us when they were looking for more volunteers in the RH6 area.

1) Why did you decide to advertise your business with RH Uncovered magazines in the first place?

2) How successful would you say that your campaign with the RH Uncovered magazines has been?

We were introducing our charity and its service into a new area and also wanted to recruit volunteers – RH6 Uncovered provided the ideal coverage for us. We support people in their homes at the end of life so it’s quite a specialised area and our funds are limited and need to be used to get the maximum return.

We were delighted with the response from our advertising – and when we chatted to the new volunteers at the end of the course several of them said that they always read and keep the magazine and look forward to receiving it.

Editorial

“We were delighted with the response from our advertising ” 3) Why would you choose the RH Uncovered titles over other magazines you have used?

By its nature our advertising has to be targeted and bring in results on a tight budget – and RH6 Uncovered in particular did the job for us!

4) What does the future hold for your relationship with RH Uncovered magazines.

Whenever we need to promote our service and recruit volunteers from the RH area we will definitely return to you. As a small registered charity every penny counts and we are also grateful of your free editorial coverage.

Get Out… (into the Great Outdoors) With the six week’s holidays just around the corner, it’s time to get planning activities to keep those all-too-familiar cries of “I’m bored!” at bay, and what better way is there to unleash some steam than by getting outside and exploring the countryside?

Put down those games consoles, step away from the TV, instead grab a picnic (maybe a brolly – the British summer can be fickle!) and get outside, in the great outdoors!

We’d love to see how you spend the summer holidays!

Don’t forget to post a picture to our Facebook page or tweet us! www.facebook.com/RHUncovered @RHUncovered

Visit a Nature Reserve Taking the kids down to a local Nature Reserve gives the perfect opportunity to get hands-on with wildlife. Many LNR’s have FREE summer open days – including Weir Wood Reservoir, which on Sunday 12th July, from 9:30am will showcase just some of the conservation work the voluntary ‘friends’ group carries out. Telescopes will be set up to observe nesting birds, a moth display showing last night’s captures will be available to view and damsel and dragonflies can be seen.

There will also be the chance to experience pond dipping too!

Seaside Exploring The sunny, pebbly beaches of Brighton, Worthing and Eastbourne are just a short journey away in the car and on the train and by bus, and are enjoyable days out for the whole family.

Bypass the shops and head straight to the shores and rock pools, with your trusty net or bucket to see what you can find.

All that sea air can be rather tiring too, so it might make for a quiet journey home…

22

/RHUncovered

Grow Your Own If the great British weather (or time!) permits outdoor fun, you can still enjoy spending time together in your own garden!

From strawberries to pansies, sweet peas to sunflowers, there’s so much that you can grow during the summer months. Watering and watching seeds grow can also give children a sense of responsibility and achievement too and will give them something to write about in their holiday diary!

Create Your Own Countryside Adventure

Don’t want to travel too far?

With miles upon miles of glorious countryside on our doorsteps, you won’t have to venture far to come across an unspoilt, peaceful, picnic spot. Let the kids run free and create your very own afternoon adventure, by finding wildlife, flowers and birds – many childfriendly outdoor activity sheets can be downloaded from the internet for free!

The Post-Paper Trail

I

f last month you threw your paper driving licence in the bin, you may have missed the point a bit. Just to re-cap, as of June 8th if you hold a photocard driving licence, complete with paper counterpart, the paper bit was declared by the DVLA as being no longer required. The key word, in case you parked up wide of the point, being “counterpart”.

So, assuming that you have binned your counterpart, but kept hold of your photocard or paper driving licence, and realise that you will shortly be embarking on a two-week holiday to the sun, you might need to hire some kind of clapped-out transport to get you around. But now you find yourself without the bit of paper that you often have to hand over when hiring a Vauxhall Corsa, probably one with vague steering and a dusty dashboard. They need to know if you’ve got any speeding points on your licence, or similar.

Fear not, the DVLA have kind of got this covered.

In their attempts to save many pounds, and reduce the amount of red tape, they have come up with a system to get you out of trouble.

Assuming that you plan ahead.

From now on, if you know you are going on holiday and will be hiring a car, you may need to access a special temporary code to provide evidence of any convictions or endorsements that you may have.

Now, it’s not all hire car companies that will need this information, but for the sake of logging on to a website and getting this code in advance of your trip, you might as well play it safe.

WiFi hotspot. Then getting angry because you can’t log on to their free WiFi. Given that preparation prevents poor performance, you can go online and download a PDF of your driving records and print it out, if you so wish. You can also take with you a telephone number where you can give them a call 0300 083 0013 (between the hours of 8am and 7pm on a weekday, 8am and 2pm on a Saturday). But, to save the inevitable stress, you really should equip yourself with that code before you leave the country. Then you can enjoy the pleasures of your clapped out Corsa without having to worry.

In all of this, I expect you are thinking, well why couldn’t we just keep the paper counterpart!?

Well, they call it progress. Plus it will save them having to repeat the process of replacing 445,000 lost paper counterparts, as they had to last year.

Morale of the story is, if you are going away; make sure you get that code before you leave.

Most airlines let you check in online these days, so make it part of your check-in procedure.

The code can be found at www.viewdrivingrecord.service.gov.uk, you’ll need your driving licence number and your National Insurance number.

By Ben Morley

The caveat is that the code is only valid for three days, so if you aren’t organised before your trip, you may find yourself searching out the airport’s

Hear no evil, see no evil Eyes and ears -

The importance of looking after them

T

hey say that ‘the eyes are windows to the soul’ and they say about our ears ‘the quieter you become the more you hear’.

Do we ever consider just how important these two amazing senses are?

Have you ever wondered how you would cope without your sight or your hearing? A few years ago I found that I had lost about 30% of my hearing in both ears. I only got it checked out because people asked me if I was ignoring them. Turned out my selective deafness was real, although I do still choose to selectively ignore others.

We are lucky enough in this country to have access to state-of-the-art technology that can help us to enhance our sight and hearing. We can have surgery on our eyes to correct vision problems and on our ears to amplify and correct hearing loss.

Have you ever looked into someone’s eyes and seen sadness, happiness?

We’ve all made that comment in the past that a person looks sad, lost, or happy. As most therapists do, when I chat to people not only I do I listen to their story but I am watching their body language with my eyes and the tone of the conversation with my ears.

I was once asked whether in my role as a hypnotherapist, could a person with hearing impairment be hypnotised?

The short answer is yes.

You don’t have to have your eyes closed to experience hypnotism.

How can we keep these amazing portals to the world around us in tiptop condition?

We want them to last a lifetime.

• Have regular eye checks with qualified opticians.

• Look after your ears and as the saying goes don’t put anything smaller than your elbow in.

• On bright sunny days, to prevent eyestrain, wear sunglasses.

• Earplugs at loud concerts or events.

• Use one of the many complimentary therapies available to reduce not only internal stress but also environmental stresses.

They are powerful tools.

As Rumi was quoted as saying “Listen with ears of tolerance. See through the eyes of compassion. Speak with the language of love”

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

Family Gardens Warm sun and blue skies are not the only ingredients for a perfect summer’s day spent outdoors. Whether for dining, playing or simply relaxing, we look at ways in which to make your garden a fun and functional place for all the family.

F

rom the smallest to the largest outdoor area, it’s possible to create a beautiful, useable space that children and adults alike will enjoy. But it does require a little forethought. First, consider how you can really make the most of your garden. Perhaps you could paint an unattractive fence, trim back some overhanging branches or extend an area of paving? Can you create a tucked-away area for making dens, or would you like an adults-only seating area away from noisy games? Should that greenhouse really be next to the lawn where the kids play football? And can you install lighting?

Exterior lighting will transform your garden, highlighting interesting features, guiding you safely in the dark and allowing you to enjoy it after the sun has set.

Next, it’s time to consider furniture. For relaxation, it could be anything from a hammock to a sun lounger, an outdoor mattress to a steamer chair. For eating, outdoor dining tables and chairs vary hugely in price, but solid, more durable types are usually an investment worth making. Styles range from metal to funky coloured plastic to classic wood (an FSCcertification means it’s environmentally friendly). Bear in mind, however, that you don’t always have to buy new – you could scour car boot sales and second-hand shops for cheap and cheerful pieces that, as long as they’re stable and at the right height for eating, can be given a couple

42

/RHUncovered

of coats of exterior-quality paint for a charmingly casual look. Remember that, ideally, garden furniture should be stored away when not in use, so unless you have an enormous shed it’s best to opt for pieces that are slimline or can be folded up easily.

Textiles can transform an outdoor dining area, and to cover the table you could choose anything from a practical oilcloth to a pretty embroidered tablecloth. An informal collection of crockery and glass, in varied but co-ordinating colours, looks fantastic, too. For young children, plastic, metal or even paper plates, bowls and tumblers are available in a range of gorgeous colours and patterns. The finishing touches are colourful bunting, fairy lights or strings of lanterns, tea lights or decorative candles and jugs filled with a profusion of flowers.

01293 824088

Despite the vagaries of the English weather, one of your main considerations must be to provide some shaded areas, especially for eating and playing areas.

Permanent shading might take the form of a gazebo, arbour or similar, or simply a fabric awning fixed to hooks in walls or trees. Alternatively, a parasol or garden umbrella is an inexpensive option, either free-standing or over a table; look out for versions that tilt, offering greater versatility.

Finally, it’s playtime. From paddling pools to trampolines, croquet sets to giant games of snakes and ladders, there are all sorts of toys that will keep the kids amused. Simple things such as a ball, a swing (hung from a strong branch) or a skipping rope will also provide hours of fun.

By now your garden planning should have paid off and, with everyone happily fed and the children entertained, it’s time to make a cup of tea, pop on a sunhat and head out for that well-earned snooze in a deckchair.

Herbs Home Grown

T

here’s a really reliable, easy, low-cost and low-effort way to add some zing to your meals; home-grown herbs. Many herbs are simple to raise from seed and if you start sowing now you should be able to have a plentiful supply of fresh, tasty herbs to add to salads, sandwiches, stews and stir-fries for months to come.

All you need to is a sunny window sill or balcony, or a well-drained, sunny spot in your garden.

First, find some good quality multi-purpose compost,your chosen herb seeds and some pots. Good-quality compost is well worth the little bit extra you need to pay. The style of pot is up to you – you may want to choose a classic Mediterranean one, or perhaps a good-looking plastic planter for longevity and light-weight characteristics. Remember that plenty of drainage is essential, and that the smaller herbs do not need a deep root run, so there’s no need for a very tall planter or pot. It’s best to grow each type of herb in its own individual pot, so buy a selection of pots with a minimum diameter of 8cm.

Once you have your pot to hand, put a broken flower pot or other drainage material in the base and then fill with good quality compost to within 1cm of the rim of the pot and firm it down, not too aggressively, but enough to ensure that there’s no subsidence later on. With large seeds such as coriander, position the seeds evenly on the compost surface. Sprinkle smaller seed thinly.

56

/RHUncovered

The seeds need to be covered with compost so use your finger or a dibber to gently press the seed in to the very surface of the compost and then drizzle more compost on top to the depth stated on the packet of seed. Water the compost thoroughly either from above using a watering can with rose attached, or by standing the pot in a saucer of water for a few minutes until the compost surface is just moist.

The seeds generally germinate quite quickly and often within just a week or two you’ll have lots of tiny herbs. Once the herbs are up and growing strongly you can start to harvest them. Use sharp scissors or a sharp knife to cut off what you need; this way you’ll minimise damage to the growing plants and so help to keep them cropping for longer. As long as you keep the pots adequately watered, ideally by watering from the base, they should last for several weeks or months but make sure that the compost is not too wet or else your herb pots won’t last long. If you find that you’re not eating them fast enough, store some for later use.

Ice cubes give you a really great fresh-herb taste off-season. Just half fill ice-cube tray sections with water. Add chopped fresh herbs to each section and top up with water. Label the tray as they can be difficult to identify. You can then simply pop them whole into stews and casseroles as and when you need them.

Top herbs that grow well from seed: There are lots of herbs which do very well in pots when sown from seed. Some of my favourites include Italian or Genovese basil, lemon basil, chervil, Coriander ‘Cilantro’ for leaves, flat-leaved parsley, Ainse, Thai basil, chervil, chives, fennel, garlic chives.

Visit www.pippagreenwood.com for Pippa’s ‘Winter thru’ Spring’ vegetable collection, great plants for September planting and regular advice emails from Pippa, and buy a great range of gardening products including Nemasys caterpillar, slug, ant and other biological controls, Enviromesh and Envirofleece.

RH Uncovered: Case Study

CASE F ILE Clie

Tim Burberry Plumbing and Heating

Tim Burberry, our resident plumbing expert, has been featuring his business in the Uncovered for over 6 years, so we thought we would ask him a few questions about his experience of working with us to promote his business over the years and why it works so well for him 1) Why did you decide to advertise your business with RH Uncovered magazines in the first place?

After working in another industry for many years I decided it was time for a change, so once I had trained and gained my plumbing and gas qualifications I decided that I wanted to work locally as much as was possible.

This was a daunting thought as I was starting off in business as a “one man band” from scratch with little knowledge of local marketing.

I looked into advertising my new business in the (then) recently launched RH10 Uncovered magazine. The team at RH Uncovered were extremely helpful with getting my first campaign off the ground. They suggested ideas I had not thought of and explained why they thought I should consider them.

2) How successful would you say that your campaign with the RH Uncovered magazines has been?

The response from our first advert was overwhelming.

62

/RHUncovered

Within 6 months of starting my first campaign I had created a large client base and I was receiving more work as referrals from my initial “RH” customers, which worked in tandem with my ongoing advertising in the magazine.

“The response from our first advert was overwhelming” The best part for me was that the Uncovered team managed everything from start to finish – suggesting new target areas, designing and creating our advert – they really took all the hard work out of it, allowing me to just concentrate on the leads and jobs that were coming in.

3) Why would you choose the RH Uncovered titles over other magazines you have used?

Simple, the level of response we receive – it works.

We have never had such a successful response to our advert in any other magazines.

nt:

Tim Burbe rry Plumbing and Heati ng

Sector:

Homes & Interiors : Eight pa ge (2007) Full page (2013) Client sin ce: 2007 Advert Si ze

The big benefit of the RH Uncovered titles is that it is delivered door to door and not just left on bars or street corners. My clients have frequently commented that they really enjoy reading it and often keep it around the house until the next issue arrives.

4) What does the future hold for your relationship with RH Uncovered magazines.

I cannot see a future without the team at RH Uncovered.

I always discuss my marketing requirements with them and welcome their feedback and ideas. I have now also expanded my working area into Haywards Heath in the latest RH Uncovered title and I am already starting to get calls from the first issues.                              
