Hello and Welcome to our October issue You may have noticed that in recent months our community content has grown considerably – this is partly because more and more community groups have approached us to feature them, but also there have been so many new community groups being formed in the local area which is fantastic news! Many of these groups support families in times of need, or provide a respite for people caring for others with illness or disabilities.

So we talked to Community Matters a charity organisation that supports of 300 grassroots community groups across Sussex and Surrey and more than 1000 groups in the South East to gather some top tips for anyone wanting to start a new community group.

Becky Wells, our Health guru also gives some great advice on stopping smoking during “Stoptober” and with the new law regarding not smoking in cars when children are in them coming into effect on 1st October, this is certainly a timely reminder.

As always we have lots of community news, What’s on events and of course our other regular columns this month.

Have a great month, and we’ll see you in November

The Copthorne Players Present: T

Billy Liar

he Copthorne Players, who have been performing locally since 1970, are to take to both the stages of Copthorne Village Hall and The Capitol Theatre, Horsham, for their production of Billy Liar, starting later this month!

The play, which is based on Keith Waterman’s 1953 novel and stage adaptation of the same name, is a semi-comical story about William Fisher; a working class nineteen year old, living in a fictional Yorkshire town, who escapes his mundane life by indulging in fantasies and dreams of life in the big city as a comedy writer.

“Billy Fisher is a lazy, irresponsible young clerk living in Northern England,” director Christine Dale explains. “Still living at home he indulges himself in fantasy.

In 2015, Billy would be a social media sensation!”

“Billy colours his life with pointless and seemingly uncontrolled untruths. The plot turns on his getting engaged to two women at the same time! The play is listed as a “comedy” – and it is very funny, but sometimes it is tremendously sad and not without sweetness…”

The Players, who have fifty local members, aged between eighteen and eighty-five, are currently undergoing final preparations for the production, which starts at Copthorne Village Hall on Thursday 29th October.

/RHUncovered

Of course, we just had to ask Christine how rehearsals were going and see how local residents were taking to Yorkshire pronunciations!

“Our approach is to play the lines straight, though initially, in rehearsal, they make us laugh out loud,” Christine, who has directed previous Players’ productions, including ‘Allo Allo, Dad’s Army and An Inspector Calls, said.

“We have a great cast of eight very good actors who are now developing their characters and enjoying the lively script. The younger members of the cast are busy working on their northern accents. They are well supported in this by our experienced role models who know their significant vowel sounds. We are keeping the pronunciation differences between the North-South divide!”

Billy Liar will be performed by the Copthorne Players from Thursday 29th – Saturday 31st October, at Copthorne Village Hall from 7.30 pm (for these tickets, call: 01342 7131390) and at the Horsham Capitol Studio on Friday 6th November and Saturday 7th November from 7. 30 pm.

Horsham show tickets are available by calling: 01403 750220.

Beating Breast Cancer: Crawley’s Kerry Campbell O

ne Crawley resident who knows only too well how it feels to be diagnosed with breast cancer is postwoman, Kerry Campbell, who was diagnosed five years ago, aged just thirty-two.

To commemorate five years since her diagnosis, Kerry took on the London Marathon, earlier this year and has organised local fundraising events, including a head shave, cake sales and evening event – in total raising over £2500 for The Francis Crick Institute, in London.

We caught up with Kerry to find out all about her fantastic fundraising and hear her inspirational story, this Breast Cancer Awareness Month: What were your symptoms?

The only symptoms I had was feeling very tired all the time, but I put that down to working long shifts, then I had an itch on my breast and found the lump.

I confided in my best friend, but wasn’t overly worried as there is no history of cancer in my family. Thanks to my friend, who kept on at me to get it checked I found out in the early stages. They believe it was caused by stress after losing my mum to a stroke the year before.

I was lucky that the cancer had not spread so had a lumpectomy, chemotherapy followed by radiotherapy.

I go back for a check-up every 6 months and have a yearly mammogram.

Why did you decide to fundraise for the Francis Crick Institute?

Once it is up and running next year, they will have all researchers under one roof, to help understand the mystery of cancer - what makes it start/develop and spread.

Cancer at any stage is hard, not only for the patient but for friends and family, so to be able to help and contribute towards an institute which I am confident will help others in the future was very important to me.

What was your London Marathon highlights?

Running with 38,000 people wearing charity vests was emotional, to see so many people taking part for charities close to their hearts got me choked up at the start and throughout.

Running with two of my friends who had flown over from Spain was amazing and we finished together holding hands like they did in the first London Marathon thirty-five years ago.

Beating Breast Cancer: Crawley’s Kerry Campbell

Crossing the finish line and meeting with all my friends who had cheered me on along the route was fantastic. They had been to the shop and got me a cold tin of Carling.....it was one of the best beers I’ve ever tasted in my life!

If a reader thinks they may have symptoms – what would you say?

Simple...What are you waiting for?

Get yourself checked!

10

/RHUncovered

And finally; how would you say having breast cancer has changed your life?

It’s definitely made me a stronger person.

I look at some hurdles life throws and think back to beating cancer, then that problem doesn’t seem as big a deal.

I certainly value my relationship with friends so much more, they saw me at my lowest and were always there encouraging me.

The biggest change was 26.2 miles!

Never would I have imagined I would take on a challenge like that, but what a way it was to celebrate my five year clear!

If you are concerned or worried about any symptoms, take Kerry’s advice and get yourself checked out.

Crawley Wheelers: Competitive Cycling

C

rawley Wheelers, formed over fifty years ago, is a competitive cycling group that brings together over 200 enthusiasts for social and competitive cycling!

Each Saturday and Sunday, up to fifty riders meet outside Evans Cycles in Crawley to take on one of four routes, and as Mark Penfold, the group’s Chairman explains, there’s a ride for every keen cyclist of all ages and abilities: “All rides are graded in terms of length and speed. We start with the social ride which is typically around 20-25 miles in length, with a break for tea/coffee and cake, and is the slowest of our rides, going at the pace of the slowest rider.”

“The A ride is between 12-14 mph and 30-40 miles, while our B ride has a pace of 14-16 mph and covers 40-55 miles. Both A and B rides also have a refreshment stop.

The top ride is the C ride with a minimum speed of 16 mph and can be in excess of 70 miles.”

I

“Having clearly defined speeds and distances helps riders to choose which group they are best placed to ride with but also helps those riders who want to move into racing by offering a clearly defined progression,” the passionate cyclist, who joined Crawley Wheelers over twenty-two years ago, continues.

Non-members can take part in three rides before joining and families and solo riders alike are welcome to join. Under 16’s can join for free, whilst under 18’s and senior citizens receive half price membership.

To find out more visit: www.crawleywheelers.co.uk or check out the group’s Facebook page: www.facebook.com/CrawleyWheelers.

Could You Rehome a Cat or Kitten?

f you have been thinking about giving a cat or kitten in the Cats Protection League’s care a loving home, be sure to go along to a rehoming show!

The local shows, all organised by the charity’s Crawley, Reigate and District branch, provide the purrfect opportunity to meet a selection of the seventy-seven cats currently in need of furever homes.

The next homing show will take place on Sunday 4th October from 11am till 3pm at Horticultural Society Hall, Ifield Ave, Crawley, where along with cute cats and kittens, volunteers will also be able to offer help and advice:

Can’t make the next homing show?

All cats that are in need of local loving homes are available to view on the Cats Protection League website (www.catsprotection.co.uk) and further information is available from contacting Clara (a volunteer) on homing@catsprotection. co.uk and 01293 226155.

Alternatively, pop next month’s homing show on Sunday 15th November in your diary, which is also the date of the caring cat charity’s fundraising Grand Christmas Bazaar – both held at The Hawth, Crawley, between 11am- 3pm!

“You can come and meet the cats we have in care at one of our homing shows, these are held monthly in different locations around the RH area,” Homing Officer, Clara Seddon told us.

“Our volunteers are on hand to advise on the cat’s differing needs and help you to find your perfect feline friend, they will then take your details and arrange a home visit.”

Funeral Plans I

t is common knowledge that dying without a Will usually causes problems for those who are left to sort things out at an already very upsetting time.

The same is true of funeral plans.

Those closest to you would need to make lots of decisions when arranging your funeral, decisions that often cause conflict within families. But by pre-arranging it now there would be no question of what your funeral wishes were and you can ease some of the stress for those you have left behind.

The cost of dying can come as a shock to people but by pre-paying now you can eliminate that financial worry when the time comes.

A report undertaken by the International Longevity Centre UK and published in April, shows funeral costs increased by 80% between 2004 and 2014 and the cost of a basic funeral is projected to rise to £5,226 by 2020. It reports that 14.5 million families would not be able to pay for a funeral at short notice unless the deceased had taken out some form of funeral provision.

By paying for your funeral now, the funeral director’s fees are fixed at today’s prices, no matter how much they increase in the future.

Whereas some have age restrictions, anyone over 18 can take out a plan with our funeral plan provider; there is no upper age limit; no medical questions to answer and you can choose your preferred funeral director. They offer the flexibility of being able to pay upfront or in instalments and when comparing to other providers they are the most competitively priced.

Endorsed by the National Federation of Funeral Directors (NFFD) and they are the only funeral plan provider which conforms to the NFFD Fair Price Charter.

Face Your Fears This Halloween

F

or many of us, the idea of abseiling 100ft down a town centre building fills us with fright – however, this Halloween, a Sussex charity is asking local residents to face their fears and join them for a truly terrifying (and exhilarating) spooktacular experience…

On Saturday 31st October, ghouls, ghosts, witches and Draculas will be taking on the 100ft abseil down the Sandman Hotel, Crawley for the Dame Vera Lynn Trust’s latest charity challenge.

The Trust, based in nearby Billingshurst, provides a free specialist service to families of children with Cerebral Palsy and other motor learning difficulties. Their second Halloween event (the first, a fun run last year, which raised £6,500) hopes to raise further funds to aid vital support sessions: “Last year we held a Halloween fun run which raised £6,500 and everyone loved it,” the charity’s Events Fundraiser, Catherine Bristow said.

“As a charity we know abseil events can be great fundraisers but we wanted to do an abseil with a twist, hence the Halloween theme!”

“We hope to raise £7,000, as this in real terms, would support 35 sessions for the children that attend the School for Parents,” (a scheme that works in partnership with local families to educate their children, who have motor learning difficulties) Catherine adds.

Dare yourself and sign up for this exciting Halloween event by contacting Catherine on: 01403 780444 or email: catherine.bristow@ dvltrust.org.uk. Fancy dress welcome!

Crawley Town FC Community Foundation I

n September, I was delighted to help the Crawley Town FC Community Foundation launch their National Citizen Service Programme.

National Citizen Service was launched by the Prime Minister in 2010 and is aimed at 16 and 17 year olds, with the goal of helping young people become more confident and engaged in their local area.

Before Crawley Town’s recent game against Wycombe Wanderers, I was pleased to speak with a number of young people interested in joining the scheme, and learn more from the Community Foundation about how they’ll be running this initiative in the Crawley and East Grinstead areas.

We were also joined by club mascot Reggie the Red! This autumn, the Community Foundation will organise a short residential course for young people involved in the scheme, followed by a variety of activities locally.

The residential course will take place at Green Park Activity Centre in Aston Clinton, Buckinghamshire, from Friday 23rd to Monday 26th October 2015.

/RHUncovered

Among various team-building activities taking place will be abseiling, climbing, high and low ropes and a leap-of-faith.

Back in Crawley, they will take part in various community projects, including working with the emergency services and the National Careers Service. This time will help each participant gain ideas for social action initiatives.

I’m always pleased to support the Crawley Town Community Foundation. Last year I was delighted to mention Crawley Capers in the House of Commons. This is a project organised jointly by the Community Foundation and Autism Sussex, who won a phone vote to be awarded £50,000 of funding from the People’s Millions.

Top Tips for Starting

W

e are lucky to have a thriving community, made up by many great groups who aim to support, advise and connect like-minded residents with regular meetings and fun events.

If you’re yet to find a community group that you would like to join, why not start up your very own? As we UNcovered, it is easier than you may think…

“Community groups serve many purposes, but perhaps the most important is that they can become the hub of the community it serves by providing services, activities, social events, a place to meet socially or to discuss issues of concern. A place to hold mother and baby sessions, a lunch club for older people, indoor and outdoor sports or club nights for young people, yoga, pilates, judo, dance, film club, can all happen here,” Graham Willmington, chief executive of Community Matters – a charity organisation that supports over 300 grassroots community groups across Sussex and Surrey, and more than 1000 in the South East, explains.

So, just what do you need to start your local group? We asked Graham to share his top tips:

16

/RHUncovered

1. If you are starting a new group you need a reason or a cause to bring people together – it could be to save the local park or playing fields, to bring a building into community ownership to serve as a local facility, to start an activity.

2. If you just feel that there is the lack of community coming together you need to know what people want or it won’t get off the ground – carry out a survey in the high street or local shopping centre to find out.

3. You need a place to meet – somebody’s home is fine for a core group to get things started, but a community organisation needs to be open to the community and to hold your meetings in a place where you can advertise the time and activity or agenda such as a community centre, village hall or sports pavilion.

4. Be inclusive – the spirit of a community group is that it is open to all in the catchment area, not a private club. And don’t let a strong personality rule the roost!

5. Talk to your local councillors, talk to the local press, use social media, set up a website – it isn’t expensive to do. Make sure people know you are there.

6. Join Community Matters – you can get an enormous amount of free help for a very small annual membership fee!

01342 718348

a Community Group Janet Flanagan from Autism Support Crawley also offered some great advice for other groups starting up, including being clear on your objectives and spreading the word about what you do: “Plan your objectives, what do you want your group to offer or achieve and try to keep to that goal,” she says. “Work out how this can be achieved and be realistic about how much work it will be allowing for expansion, any funds you may need to raise and ideas how to raise them. Don’t think you can ever be completely sure about either of these, but an idea will help!”

“Think about how you are going to advertise your group. Often money will be tight or almost non-existent to start with so a free website is a good start. List your organisation online with Google and as many free listings as possible which will make your website visible online,” the local mum continues.

recently, as our funds have grown, have started organising other events to meet up like picnics and meals!”

Don’t forget to let us know!

We can list your meetings for free in our Community Groups pages and are always on the look-out for groups to feature across our Community Section!

Call: 01342 718348 or email: shelley@mantramagazines.co.uk.

Alternatively, you can call 0845 847 4253 on Monday, Wednesdays and Fridays (9:30am -1pm).

“Facebook has been an asset! We started with monthly meetings, but realised so many members can’t get out to meetings because of their children, so we started the Facebook page.

Our Facebook page is now the main part of our group as members can ask questions or just talk to people instantly when they need the support. We then added a monthly pub night and more

No Smoke Without Fine B

y and large us motorists have always drawn the short straw when it comes to the various Governments handing out price hikes, crazy laws and budget cuts, over the years.

Road tax only ever goes up, but the amount spent on maintaining our roads seems to be drastically un-proportional to this. My lovely alloy wheels would certainly agree with this sentiment.

But, every now and again, they do pass a law that makes sense - at least to me.

As of October 1 2015, if you enjoy a nice cigarette whilst driving you will no longer be able to do so if you have anyone under the age of eighteen sat in there with you. From the first of the month if you do this, you are breaking the law. This has obviously been done, and rightly so, to protect children and young people from the dangers of second hand cigarette smoke.

This doesn’t just apply to the driver, if a passenger lights up a fag, both the driver and the smoker could be fined £50. This law applies to every driver in England and Wales, including those aged 17 and those with a provisional license. Although, if you are 17 and are smoking on your own in the car, you’ve made the decision to slowly kill yourself, so the fine doesn’t apply to you.

Every time a youngster breathes in secondhand smoke, they obviously inhale thousands of chemicals that can put them at risk of serious conditions. These include meningitis, cancer, bronchitis and pneumonia. It goes without saying that it wont do asthma sufferers much good, either.

If you have got a convertible car with the roof down, the law wont apply for obvious reasons, however the wording of the law applies it to any private vehicle that is enclosed wholly or partly by a roof. You can’t get around it by having the windows or sunroof open; it still counts as a roof.

Funnily enough, flicking on the air conditioning doesn’t count either.

If you are a smoker, you might also like to know that it also counts as a ‘nick’ if you sit in the open doorway of a vehicle in which under 18’s are present. So much like in pubs and public places, you need to be away from the car before you spark up.

Alternatively, you could make them all get out and stand a safe distance away whilst you enjoy your fag. Or, if you are that desperate to smoke in the car with your children in there, maybe you could cut the roof off.

But that would be stupid…

By Ben Morley

This law has been put in place to stop a child breathing in any more harmful rubbish than it absolutely has to.

Are you ready to stop smoking in Stoptober?

Top tips to guide you on your way to quitting.

What is H

ow long does the nicotine stay in your body? 48 hours apparently, yes I did say 48 hours. The body will clear itself of most of the nicotine within 48 hours after your last cigarette.

But there are physiological and other factors that can delay the quick removal from your system.

Think of your smoking habits as layers.

The base layer of smoking is a deep-seated need from past behaviours. Some may have started to smoke at school or watched parents or relatives do the same. It has become a comfort layer close to our body that we need (or think we need).

So what options do you have to help you become a non-smoker?

Your doctor can prescribe nicotine replacement therapy; this still releases nicotine into the system but at a slower rate.

E-cigarettes are another form of replacement but do these remove the habit? And some still contain nicotine.

Acupuncture has also been used as a smoking cessation aid. Acupuncture works to adjust cravings by balancing your body’s brain chemistry and also helps heal the damage caused by smoking.

With hypnotherapy the aim of the sessions is to take away the habits and also the desire to ever smoke again.

So what’s stopping you from Next comes the mid layer that quitting? Is it that person looking keeps you warm, the fleece layer. back in the mirror at you?

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

Apprenticeships VS Further Education:

Which to Choose?

Apprenticeships

Over the last year alone, 49,000 young people took up apprenticeships in the South East, according to the National Apprenticeship Scheme. Clearly a popular option for school and Sixth Form leavers alike, apprenticeships offer on-the-job training whilst receiving a small wage. This earning-while-learning mindset, has undoubtedly proved successful, with many schools, including Oriel High School in Crawley, seeing pupils opt for a placement: “Apprenticeships are becoming a more popular option with young people leaving Oriel after their GCSEs or A levels,” Ryan Sallows, business manager for the school, explains.

“Apprenticeships are becoming an attractive alternative to university for Sixth Form leavers, in particular. We have had students go onto very successful apprenticeships in engineering, accountancy and horticulture, for example.

Young people like the ‘earn while you learn’ ethos of apprenticeships.”

Sue Husband, director of the National Apprenticeship Service, also agrees, telling us; “Apprenticeships are thriving in England, and it’s not hard to see why. They offer ambitious young people unrivalled career prospects and personal development opportunities. Apprentices earn while they learn in a real job, gaining a nationally recognised qualification and a bright future.

Young people can ‘get in and go far’ with an apprenticeship at some of Britain’s biggest and brightest companies. They can gain the skills and knowledge they need to succeed up to degree level, while working and earning.”

/RHUncovered

Further Education

While apprenticeships have become a great option for those wanting to get stuck into a practical career, straight from school, there are still record numbers of pupils hoping to go to college and then on to university.

This year saw over 400,000 young people be accepted onto university courses, through-out the UK – a rise by 3% compared to 2014.

Recently, a government report on The Impact of Further Education Learning found that almost a third of students who participated in further education courses, gained better employment than those who didn’t. The same report also found that 58% of people who completed their course, had high job satisfaction, while 80% said that further education had improved their self-confidence.

Of course, when it comes to choosing which option will give your child the best future; you and your child are the best qualified people to decide.

This month, many colleges and universities will start to hold open days, which provide a perfect opportunity to chat through further education options suitable for your child, so be sure to go along and ask questions. If you would like information on apprenticeships, search for apprenticeships or traineeships on GOV.UK or call 08000 150 400.

The National Careers Service is also on hand to help anyone aged 13 and over, offering free and impartial advice and online tools, and can be contacted in confidence by telephone on 0800 100 900 or www.nationalcareersservice.direct.gov.uk.

Using pattern to perfection From the subtlest of stripes to the boldest of modern floral prints, pattern offers infinite choices to suit any space.

P

attern, like colour, can be a wonderful addition to a home, providing character and vitality, from an complex scheme, to simple touches such as a wallpapered wall or a set of cushions. Pattern can create a focal point, for example by recovering a chair; or subtle interest through a few simple pieces featuring understated designs. Or it can be an entire room, a complex combination of patterned walls, rugs, fabrics and accessories.

Using pattern is not actually as complex as it may seem. It’s best to start by working out your preference. Simple, graphic motifs in muted colours or naturalistic designs in vivid shades? Large scale or small?

Historical prints or modern?

And would you like just a dash of pattern to enliven an otherwise plain room, or a striking combination of patterns for an all-over look? You may own the perfect inspiration already: an antique quilt, a painted vase, a print from an old book or a favourite shirt, perhaps. Borrow ideas from magazines and books, other people’s homes, or even from fashionable bars and restaurants. Wherever you find your patterned fabric, however, try to obtain large samples and, before spending a great deal of money, hang them in place to gain a really good idea of their final effect.

There’s no denying that it’s easier to go down the simple route with pattern, and limit it to appearing in just one or two places.

But combining a variety of patterns, though harder to get right, can be tremendously exciting and full of impact. Whatever items you’re putting together, there are some guidelines that will help make the best of them.

First: colours. When mixing pattern with pattern or, indeed, pattern with plain, a really good colour match is important. This will hang the whole effect together. Stand back and assess which colours are most visible in your patterns, then aim to combine one main colour with two or three highlights.

Second: scale. In bigger rooms, you can afford to use very large-scale patterns, while smaller rooms are generally better suited to medium- or small-scale patterns When combining patterns, aim to vary their scales – to avoid monotony – without going to dramatic changes of size which tend to look strange. Remember very small patterns are only really noticeable close up; from a distance they look like a plain colour.

Third: density. Loose, open patterns give a visual ‘breather’, while intricate patterns with closely placed designs have more drama. As with scale, a variety of densities gives balance and interest.

Fourth: design. Abstract, figurative, retro, traditional, modern – you name it, there’s something for everyone. Avoid an incongruous mix by limiting your pattern combinations to designs that originate from the same era or stylistic aesthetic. Remember that plains and stripes are brilliant at co-ordinating with more intricate patterns.

And finally: cheat! If you love the idea of pattern but are really stuck, check out manufacturers’ wallpaper and fabric pattern books, which show you how to mix and match with ease. Keep experimenting and persevere.

Success with pattern is simply a case of trial and error, putting different things together and changing them around until you’re totally happy with the results – a coherent, confident look that has great pattern panache.

These kind of patterned accessories stand out amongst block colours on walls, sofas, carpets and curtains. The patterned items become the main focus and break up the continuous plain colour.

Climbing Plants C

limbing plants, especially those with flamboyant flowers or fantastic foliage can transform a garden and offer a whole new planting opportunity, as your garden literally goes upwards and takes a vertical climb.

Supporting Cast A few climbers are self-clingers and don’t need a special support system when grown against a fence or wall; Virginia creeper and Hydrangea petiolaris for instance. But most need to have a proper support, and it pays to put this in place before you plant. For lighter weight climbers some trellis, perhaps prettily painted will do the trick, but for heavier climbers such as a vigorous clematis, or wisteria, you will need galvanised straining wires.

Easy Access If you use trellis as a support on a wall, it can be attached to wooden battens which are fixed to the wall using rawl plugs. Use a series of hinges to attach one edge of the trellis to the batten, and a few hooks to allow you to raise or lower the trellis for when you need to maintain the wall.

Planting Distance Climbers won’t thrive if they don’t receive enough water at the base. The ‘rain shadow’ created by the house roof and the drying effect of the wall’s foundations can make the soil close-by extremely dry so plant a minimum of 45cm (18in) away from the base of the wall and fork in plenty of well-rotted bulky organic matter before planting too.

Extra Care Climbers planted against a wall will need extra TLC if they’re to look their best. Make watering them top-priority, especially for the first 18 months whilst they’re becoming established. Apply a good, bulky organic mulch to a depth of about 8cm (3in) or so all around the rooting area, but take care to avoid the mulch coming in to direct contact with the stems.

Arches, Arbours and Pergolas Climbers don’t just look good on house, garden and garage walls and fences, they can also be used to great effect over arches and pergolas or to clothe an arbour. You may need to install some supporting wires here too, so go for galvanised wires and sturdy vine-eyes as fixings.

Choosing a scented climber or two will add to the charm of a cosy arbour or archway.

Clever Combinations If the surface that you want to plant up is big enough, try to use climbers that flower in different seasons as, chosen carefully, the plants you use will increase the period for which the arch, pergola, arbour, wall or fence, looks its best.

Bare Ankles Many climbers do have a habit of becoming a bit bare at the base, especially after they’ve been in place for a few years. Try some seasonal bedding plants around the base, or plant a small and attractive shrub a little further away to hide the bare stems.

Train it well If the climber is quite small, it may need to be trained in the right direction. A short bamboo cane or several for a multi-stemmed plant, can be angled from the base of the plant to the vertical surface, allowing you to tie in the stems and edge them towards the support. Once the climber has reached the wall, the enlarging network of stems may become congested if left to its own devices, so actively train the stems to grow in the direction you need them to.
