Does Auto Enrolment apply to my staff?

Question: I employ all part-time staff and as a result, they do not earn very much over the course of a tax year. Could you tell me if I am likely to have anything to do for these new Workplace Pension rules please?

Answer: Under the new Workplace Pensions rules, all employers have “duties” towards all of their staff who are: • working or ordinarily working in the UK • aged between16 and 74; and who o work under a contract of employment (i.e. an “employee”); or o have a contract to perform work or services personally and are not undertaking the work as part of their own business “Eligible workers” are aged between 22 and state pension age, and earn over £192 a week (2015/16). If you have staff that meet the definition of an eligible worker, they must be put into a workplace pension scheme and you must pay regular pension contributions for them. You don’t need to ask their permission and therefore we refer to them being “automatically enrolled” into the pension scheme.

If you have no staff to automatically enrol, there is no need to set up a pension scheme immediately. However, while your staff may not be eligible for automatic enrolment, they can still ask to go into a pension scheme. If they do this, your responsibilities will depend on how much they earn: 1.

2.

If they more than £112 a week (2015/16) they are a so-called “non-eligible jobholder”. You must make contributions to the scheme as well.

If they earn less than this, they are an “entitled worker” and you may choose whether you wish to contribute or not.

Failure to comply with the Workplace Pensions rules can lead to a fixed penalty of £400 plus escalating penalties starting from £50 per day.

If you are concerned about the new auto enrolment rules or would like assistance with any area of accountancy please contact us for a free initial consultation.

Hello and Welcome to our November issue Well the nights are drawing in rapidly now as we enter Winter (hopefully everyone remembered to put their clocks back one hour on the 25th!) and before we know it Christmas will be upon us!

Before that though, we have Remembrance Sunday on November 8th and there are services of remembrance in many of the local villages which will be all the more poignant this year, it being the 70th anniversary of the end of WWII. It seems fitting too that over that weekend there will be Bonfire night celebrations, but wouldn’t it be lovely to also think that those fireworks were in remembrance and thanks to all of those who have given their lives or been injured in their service to our country?

With that in mind, our fabulous front cover photo this month has been kindly supplied by East Grinstead Camera Club member, Gillian Lloyd (www.gillianlloydphotography.co.uk) We thought it absolutely fitting for our cover this month!

Well, that’s us signing off for another month, we’ll see you in December!

Charity Searching For Host Families For Summer 2016 L

ocal charity, Friends of Chernobyl’s Children in Mid Sussex is appealing for potential host families for children from Ukraine in summer 2016.

The Friends of Chernobyl’s Children Mid Sussex bring children over from Ukraine once a year.

The 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster in Ukraine caused many areas to become badly polluted and the children living in these areas are in direct contact with the consequences each day.

The Mid Sussex branch aims to bring around 14 or 15 children from Belarus to Sussex every summer for four weeks. Each child usually comes for four consecutive years, staying with a local host family.

A trustee of the charity listed some basic information on the criteria to become a host family: 1. Host families must live within a reasonable distance of Horsted Keynes and be willing and able to transport their child to and from the village every week day. Most families are in the Lindfield and Haywards Heath area, although some are further afield in Burgess Hill, East Grinstead and Crowborough.

2. Host families do not have to have children of their own, although many do. We look at the individual needs of each child very carefully before placing them with their host family, and try to match up children with the family and situation we feel would be most suitable.

3. All host families undergo home visits and full DBS checks prior to hosting.

4. Children come for four weeks each summer and take part in an activity programme between 9am - 5pm Monday to Friday. During evenings and weekends host families are responsible for their child, they also provide all meals.

6

/RHUncovered

There is always an interpreter on duty 24 hours a day, and the group coordinator is always on call, so families are fully supported throughout the month. Most children come for four consecutive years, allowing them to build a strong bond with their hosts.

Mandi and Brian Stockell hosted seven-year-old Kyrill in previous years. In Ukraine, the young boy lives with his mum, younger brother and grandfather. His mum is only 28 but had a stroke two years ago and was left partially paralysed and with severe speech problems.

Mandi said: “We had seven-year-old Kyril and what joy he bought into our lives, seeing the transformation from when he first arrived, to when he went home, looking healthy, happy and with a lot more clothes than he came with!

“I wish we had hosted years ago, it was so much better than we thought it would be, mostly easy, full of laughs and sometimes tears, but such a joy!

“Brian was a little sceptical and nervous at first, but found it so much easier than he anticipated.

“Google translate was a god send, helping with the translation, both ways. Also it seems that 1 month is an awfully long time, but it flies by as the charity have an amazing programme of activities all week.

“Also there is a good support network 24/7 with the charity, translators and also other host families, which also helped with any questions, fears and we also developed a relationship with Kyrill, which grew as the month went on and will continue to grow over the years. We can’t wait for next year!”

Enjoy Festive Treats At Balcombe Village Craft And Local Produce T

he annual Christmas market held in Victory Hall is back for 2015 from 10am - 2pm on 7 November with free entry.

Organiser Glenda Thomson has been running the market for six years for the village.

She said: “The hall is the hub of the village and I love that it’s so busy with all sorts of events which is wonderful.

“But it needs funds to help pay for its upkeep.

It’s such a thriving village with something for everyone!”

At the market on 7 November, Glenda said they have invited a team of young mums from Tiggers Pre-School Nursery and they are helping to fundraise for them.

Haywards Heath Horticultural Society Keen For Young Volunteers H

aywards Heath Horticultural Society is appealing for young volunteers to join in the events and activities they have planned from November and beyond into 2016.

There will be a range of stalls and local produce with lots of tempting ideas for Christmas, including a raffle and refreshments.

In the 20 stalls in Victory Hall, there will be shabby chic giftware, handmade jewellery, vintage tea-cup candles, home fragrances and accessories, fused glass designs, children’s clothes, raffia bags, antique boxes, Usbourne books, nostalgic prints, soft toys, paper crafts and much, much more.

Refreshments will include everything from sausages and bacon to homemade jams and chutneys, cakes, fudge sweets and chocolate truffles.

“Over the last two years we have encouraged local schools to grow daffodils and polyanthus provided by the society, then to exhibit them at our spring show. We hope to continue that next spring.

“We would love to see more young people get involved in the shows and plan to introduce some further classes once we can establish an interest.

“As most gardeners know the pleasure of growing your own produce be it flowers, fruit or vegetables is incredibly satisfying. By doing this we are helping the environment we all live in.”

The society meets on the 3rd Thursday of the month from September to May in St Wilfrid’s Centenary Hall, St Wilfrids Way, Haywards Heath.

If you’re keen to join or know some youngsters with green fingers, visit www.hhhs.org.uk/.

Sylvia Harris, a volunteer for the society, said all current members are keen gardeners and they are all keen to attract pupils from the local schools to get involved.

She said: “I believe the society provides a friendly environment in which to gain more knowledge about all aspects of gardening.

“We have a variety of speakers to this end, who talk about their extensive travels and plant knowledge in various forms.

Sussex-Based Christmas Wishes Charity Launches

Christmas Toy Appeal A

Mid-Sussex based charity has launched its Christmas appeal to help support children and families in need over the festive period.

The Christmas Toy Appeal began on 1 October to collect toys for children in the low income families and is part of the charity called Christmas Wishes.

The collection box is being held at Tesco in Burgess Hill and is emptied every few days, where children are allocated toys.

Organiser Petrina Wickens explained: “We have about 55 children this year but we have joined Burgess Hill Youth to help some of families in need so that we can help as many people as possible.

Christmas Wishes also then runs a Christmas party for underprivileged children in the area.

Petrina told us: “It’s our main event of the year.

“The gifts are given with Santa, entertainment and party food. We also deliver toys to families who are unable to attend the party we throw.”

We normally have about 60 children to entertain and we are looking to get lots of toys so that the children can visit Santa where they get some lovely presents to take home for Christmas Day. “Most of these children will have very few, if any presents at Christmas time for whatever reason.

“Please, please give these kids a nice Christmas this year instead of one with no presents and no festive dinner.”

This year, the Christmas party is being held on Sunday 13th December at Burgess hill scout headquarters. For more information, email Petrina on petrinawickens@hotmail.co.uk, or visit www.christmas-wishes.co.uk.

Fun On Fireworks Night L

indfield fireworks will be held on Thursday 5th November.

There will be a fancy dress competition at the King Edward Hall, followed by a torch light procession around Lindfield. Organisers are reminding people not to bring sparklers, fireworks or bangers into the village, as well as telling people not to bring pets.

It is strongly advised if you live locally, to walk to the event as car parking is very restricted within Lindfield village and access will be affected by road closures during the night.

The lost children post will be in the King Edward Hall and manned throughout the evening. For the full timing schedule which will be released nearer the time, visit www.lindfieldbonfiresociety.co.uk.

Vintage Market To Raise Funds For Chestnut Tree House A

Helen Jones, originally from West Sussex started Hels Belles Boutique consisting of vintage craft fairs after moving to Gloucester three and a half years ago.

Now, she’s bringing her vintage fairs to Sussex in the Martlets Hall in Burgess Hill on 28th November, entry is £2 and children go free.

The event will host an abundance of quality traders selling all things vintage, handmade, antique and collectable. There will be live vintage-inspired entertainment from fabulous solo artists, groups and dancers, vintage beauty, a vintage tea party plus lots more.

Helen said: “I am originally from Crawley and my family still live there.

“The fairs have been very popular throughout Gloucestershire. We’ve hosted them in Gloucester city centre, Stroud and Tetbury.

home-made soup, cakes, tea and coffee will be available throughout the day at very reasonable prices for visitors and stallholders.

If you haven’t heard of The Old School before, it’s adjacent to Holy Trinity Church and dates originally from the early 16th century.

For more information, email oldschoolmanager@tiscali.co.uk or visit www.oldschoolcuckfield.co.uk.

Address: Old School in Church Street, Cuckfield, West Sussex, RH17 5JZ.

With 15 under my belt so far I decided to take the event on the road in hope that people will enjoy them just as much in Sussex.

“Hels Belles Boutique was a finalist in the recent National Vintage Awards and hopefully a winner next year (we can dream!)

“We support the James Hopkins Trust in Gloucestershire, a brilliant children’s charity and I was keen to find a similar charity in the Sussex area.

“This market will donate funds to the Chestnut Tree House. It’s is the only children’s hospice in Sussex and without the generosity of the people of Sussex it would not be able to offer the amazing support to children and families.”

Haywards Heath Lions Club Promote Message In A Bottle Scheme H

aywards Heath Lions Club is promoting a new concept that enables people to inform the emergency services of the medication they are on.

Peter Parr from the Lions Club told us the concept is known as “Message in a Bottle” or MIAB and was the brainchild of a policeman way back in 1999.

The pack consists of a small plastic tub containing a medical form and two stickers.

One sticker is for the inside of the front door where it can be easily seen, and the second sticker for the fridge door.

MIAB is available to all, for free. Nikki, a member of the Lions was someone who used the MIAB scheme and described the benefits.

She said: “I have an enormous amount of gratitude for MIAB as the bottle in my fridge has saved my life on numerous occasions.

Being a diabetic transplant recipient I suffer from hypoglycaemic attacks which occasionally lead to me slipping into a coma.

“Having seen the sticker on the front door, emergency services will know to go straight to the fridge where all my medical notes are stored in my message in a bottle.

“This also means one less worry for family members, in my case my teenage son who has also saved my life on several occasions.

I don’t know where I would be now without MIAB”.

Message in a bottle is available to anyone who would like to use it and is not restricted to serious medical ailments as any information can be useful in a medical emergency.

Lions clubs through the UK supply these kits to health centres, doctor’s surgeries and chemists. They are also available direct from Lions clubs.

If you would like further information, please contact Haywards Heath Lions on 0845 8335807 or www.lions.org.uk/miab.htm

Brand new space for growing businesses now available in Haywards Heath

S

mall business owners in Mid Sussex that are looking to expand and grow their business can now do so with the help of a new Basepoint Business Centre.

The new business centre at Bridge Road in Haywards Heath provides office and workshop space for growing small businesses, giving them a stepping stone between working from home and larger business units. It is managed by Basepoint, a company which specialises in the development and operation of business innovation centres, and prospective small businesses are being encouraged to sign up now while space is still available.

Councillor Garry Wall, Leader of Mid Sussex District Council said: “The District Council is committed to supporting local businesses. Mid Sussex is highly entrepreneurial and this new centre will provide high quality, flexible space for growing businesses. Working with Basepoint, we have been able to deliver an excellent facility which offers 33 units; almost 70% of which are already occupied”.

The brand new facility, which has been funded by a £1.33 million investment from Mid Sussex District Council and a £600,000 contribution by West Sussex County Council, was officially opened by Sir Nicholas Soames MP on Friday 25 September.

One of the local business owners who has moved into the new business starter units is Anita Watson-Jackson, founder of Quirky Genius.

“Quirky Genius started as a business run from home to fit around my three, then small children, in fact my first products were designed as gifts for my daughters and their playmates,” said Anita. “Friends then asked to buy my toys and accessories and that gradually expanded to my current business supplying 40 plus shops.

“All my products are handmade which means my home is now bursting with fabric, toy stuffing, boxes etc and I was spending so much time moving things from one place to another I realised it was time to move out and reclaim our house again.

“The Basepoint units being built in Haywards Heath was perfect timing for me and totally fits with my plans for expanding Quirky Genius. The units are close to home, they have flexible terms so no long term financial commitment and they provide opportunities to network with other small businesses.

“Also, small things such as having a reception to receive parcels which arrive when I have nipped out on the school run will save me time and reduce my stress levels. I am really excited to be moving into my new unit and looking forward being able to grow Quirky Genius.”

For more information about securing a business starter unit in Haywards Heath contact Basepoint Centre Manager Roxanne Haid by calling 01273 467500 or email roxannehaid@basepoint.co.uk.

Fighting the Flu and Combating Colds Y our throat is sore, you can’t breathe through your nose and the only thing you want to do is watch TV all day under a duvet. But is it a cold or the flu?

A cold:

• Symptoms come on gradually • You feel worse on days 1-2, and usually better in a week • It doesn’t often cause a temperature or it’s brief and mild (not above 38oC) • Your nose tends to be painful, irritated and red • You will feel unwell, but not overwhelmingly tired • Sometimes you may also suffer from eye irritation, ear pressure or earache, mild headache and mild muscle pain.

The flu:

• Symptoms come on very rapidly • You usually feel worse after 2 or 3 days in, but improve after 5 or 6 days • You may have a temperature of 38oC or above, which comes on suddenly and can make you sweat, or give you ‘the chills’ • Your cough tends to be dry and chesty • Headaches are very common; muscles and joints may ache badly • You may develop diarrhoea • You may have difficulty sleeping, although you feel very tired.

Both are highly contagious infections caused by viruses and there are only two ways to combat them, avoiding contact and boosting your immune system.

Avoiding Contact

Think how many surfaces you touch; door handles, stair rails, taps, keypads when we enter our PIN. Now consider how many people have touched them before you.

• Clean high-contact surfaces regularly and thoroughly • Clean your hands regularly and thoroughly, especially after touching your nose or mouth • Don’t share cutlery or cups • Cold and flu sufferers need their own hand towel or disposable paper towels • Use tissues; throwing them away immediately prevents virus-laden droplets escaping into the air.

Boosting your immune system

If you have a medical condition which can make flu more serious, or are over 65, pregnant or a carer, you should be offered the flu vaccine every autumn. There are also many foods and supplements that claim to help.

18

/RHUncovered

Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid)

There is no evidence that it prevents colds; but a regular daily dose may reduce how long your infection lasts and its severity.

Zinc

Zinc appears to lessen symptoms and speed up recovery, if taken from the start. Sources: wheat germ, eggs, seafood.

Garlic

Only one study has shown it prevents a cold or flu; once you’re infected, there’s no proof garlic helps. Leave for 20 minutes after peeling and chopping to activate its immune boosting enzymes.

Echinacea

A variety of preparations have been trialled with differing results. Some trials show that Echinacea takers are 30% less likely to develop a cold but there’s little evidence it helps once you’re ill.

Glutathione and bioflavonoid

These help to maintain a healthy immune system, although there’s no cold or flu fighting evidence yet. Glutathione sources: watermelon, broccoli, cabbage. Bioflavonoid sources: cherries, green peppers, red onions.

Selenium

Low levels of selenium have been linked to developing more severe flu, so maintain healthy levels. Sources: fish, nuts, mushrooms.

Saline (salt water)

Saline drops and sprays can reduce congestion and remove virus and bacteria particles.

Do I need to see my GP?

Usually, over the counter painkillers and decongestants plus plenty of rest and fluids will be all you need. But do see your GP if: • Symptoms last more than a week, or become much worse: very high temperature, severe headache, shortness of breath, coughing up blood or chest pain • You develop symptoms not typical of flu, such as a rash • You have a medical condition that is making your flu worse.

When Should My Child Learn Another Language?

Over the last few years, there’s been a lot of discussion about the benefits of children learning more than one language – but what are these benefits and are they worthwhile?

With half of the world’s population estimated to speak two to three different languages per day, it’s easy to see that being bilingual is becoming popular, not only with students taking gap years, or those working overseas, but with young children whose parents are recognising the long term benefits associated with knowing more than one language.

Brain Stimulation Learning a second language is believed to not only activate the verbal and communicative part of the brain, but also the areas associated with reasoning, thinking and numeracy. This is thought to give a child more stimulation, and ultimately, an ability to be able to excel academically.

Increases Cognitive Based Problem Solving Each day, throughout our lives, problem solving skills are needed to be able to make decisions – be it what to have for lunch or something more complex.

Being bilingual is reported to improve cognitive based problem solving, leading to more mental flexibility and creativity.

Improves Career Prospects While the majority of the population seems to speak English, in today’s day world, doing business with people from all across the globe is the norm. Whether you own a multi-million pound business or sell your wares, online, from your home; at any point you may need to speak with someone whose first language isn’t English, and of course, this will only grow (with technology improvements) over time, as your child does.

It is estimated that learning a language, especially for those working in sales, marketing or technical support could add 10-15% to salaries, compared to those that speak just one language.

Culturally Aware Children who learn another language become, naturally, more aware about different cultures, it’s also thought.

This can have great benefits emotionally on a child, allowing them to confidently connect more with others; from family members who live abroad to a friend they’ve made on holiday.

Delays Dementia In a recent study, it was found that being bilingual can prevent a person from developing Alzheimer’s disease for almost five years later than those who know just one language.

Neurologists believe that bilingualism, along with other forms of mental engagement, help to build “cognitive reserves” that preserves the brain, even after the onset of the disease.

A winter of

content

W

ith summer but a distant memory, the last, last-cut, of the grass in the garden done and the joyous task of going to, and returning from, your day job in the dark, it can mean only one thing; winter is coming. Yay. As well as preparing yourself for the inevitability that all local roads will go to pot with the mere mention of the word ‘snow’, you should really be giving your car the once-over and making sure that it’s ready for whatever winter will bring. Below are the key things you should be casting your eyes over. But, if you don’t have the time, or inclination, most garages worth their salt will carry out the following for free.

Antifreeze

Sounds obvious, but there are plenty of cars out there that don’t have enough coolant in their system. This should be regularly checked and topped up with the correct type of anti-freeze if required. Your garage can check and tell you if the mixture is right and it’s offering the right level of protection.

Battery

During the winter months, batteries become the most common cause for a car not to start. Once they get to five years old, they can sometimes struggle to turn the engine over for long before giving up. Get your garage to test the battery now and, if necessary, get it replaced before it lets you down.

Screen Wash

This needs to be around 50% concentrate during the winter to stop it freezing, plus it’s worth making sure that what goes in is of good quality. You’d be surprised at how quickly you can get through screen wash during the winter.

Tyres

Whilst the legal limit is 1.6mm, you really want at least 3mm of tread on your tires for winter motoring.

Better still, consider a switch to winter tyres. These are specifically designed to work in lower temperatures, and actually do. Either way, check your pressures every two weeks.

Lights

Check all of your lights regularly, and also give them a good clean so that you can see and also so that you can be seen. It’s worth purchasing a bulb pack to carry around – just in case.

Locks and door seals

If you are still using a key to get into your car, rather than a push of a button, it’s worth giving the inside of your door locks a squirt with some WD-40 to help stop them freezing. You can also smear a thin layer of Vaseline or polish on the rubber door seals to stop them freezing shut.

As well as the above, it’s good practice to make sure you’ve always got at least quarter of a tank of fuel in the car. Also that there is a rug or similar in the boot, a couple of bits of carpet or cardboard to stick under the wheels should you get stuck in the snow, a warm reflective jacket, a torch that works, extra screen wash, some de-icer, some snacks, and even a tow rope. You’re better off being prepared than not, especially as the roads seem to grind to a halt every time it so much as threatens to snow…

By Ben Morley

Windscreen and wipers

If you’re in the car and we’re lucky enough to be having a spot of dry weather, you might find yourself dazzled by the low sun. Keep the screen clean on the inside and the outside and make sure that the wiper blades are in good condition, too.

Textures for interiors

The way a space feels is just as important as the way it looks. Interiors expert Katherine Sorrell reveals how an imaginative use of different surfaces can make an impact in your home.

C

olours and patterns may be the first things you notice when you walk into a room, but spend any time in it and the textures become increasingly important.

Not only is the right surface in the right area a functional necessity, but an appreciation of texture also enables us to relate to our surroundings in a direct and sensual way, making us feel comfortably and securely at home. Textures, in short, bring a room to life and make a house a home.

Underpinning every design scheme, textures relate to just about every aspect of a room, from size and lighting to colour schemes and style. Consider this aspect of room design as layering one texture with another (floor, walls, upholstery and window treatments are the basics), then adding touches of one or two more (cushions, lamps, vases, rugs and so on). At first the concept may sound challenging, but it will soon come entirely naturally.

Start with key areas – upholstery or loose covers in a fabric that’s neither so shiny and slippery that you slide off it the moment you sit down, nor so rough that it’s uncomfortable and snags instantly.

Curtains that draw easily, worktops that are tough and durable, floorboards that can be cleaned easily.

If you wanted to bring out the cosiness of a small bedroom, say, you could combine a fluff y rug, mattpainted walls, velvet curtains and chintzy quilts.

Or, to emphasise a bright and airy living room, the main features might be varnished floorboards, glossy white woodwork, sheer curtains and glass or chrome lamp bases. The aim is to achieve pleasing

28

/RHUncovered

contrasts rather than clashes, so avoid too many unusual, eye-catching textures in one space.

Texture has an important part to play in the overall style of a room. Modern rooms tend to feature harder, shinier surfaces, whereas a vintage or ethnic look is more rustic and varied in texture.

You only have to think of the contrast between a contemporary room that features lots of stainless steel, chrome and mirror, with a more nostalgic room that contains quilts, knitting, embroidery and lace, to understand how important texture is in setting a scene.

Using understated colour schemes and simple patterns allows textures to speak for themselves.

This is where a palette of neutrals comes to the fore – just think of the beautiful, natural hues of sisal, shell, stone or wicker. A dash of brightness may add a focal point, but the subtlety is in the surfaces themselves. Lastly, remember that good lighting shows off textures to their best advantage.

Try to pick out interesting features and highlight them with uplighters, spotlights or angled lamps placed appropriately.

Once you have grasped the basic principles of using texture, you can incorporate all sorts of different elements: distressed or varnished wood, woven willow, worn stone, foxed mirror, distressed leather, fake fur, buttons, raffia and crochet, to name but a few. Textural possibilities are endless and, with just a little effort, you can achieve a look that is individual, intriguing and truly remarkable.

Ground Cover

Ground cover plantings are a wonderful way to create gorgeous carpets of colour in your garden, whatever its size and wherever it’s located. But what’s so special about ground cover growing, when is it most useful and when should you start?

T

he initial few months will take some effort, but once growing well, most ground cover planting needs little maintenance except perhaps a very occasional trim, and some food and water in drier weather.

Make sure the plants are kept just moist at the roots until they’re established and feed occasionally.

By choosing varieties of plants which are recommended for use as ground cover you’ll be unlikely to have to do much if any pruning.

It has a superbly smothering effect on the weeds, killing weedlings and deterring further weeds from appearing. The denser the ground cover planting, the better the effect.

So what should you choose to grow?

Foliage that is attractive and interesting makes a wonderful ground cover planting and if you wish you can add a few more flamboyant flowering plants to the mixture too. By using plants with interestingly shaped leaves or variegated leaves your leafy planting will look even better.

Autumn is an ideal time for planting. Trees, shrubs, climbers and herbaceous plants that go in to the ground at this time of year often establish extremely well as they have the luxury of enjoying the relatively If you want a reasonable effect all year around, then select at least some of the plants you warm and yet moist soil, a perfect place for new use from the evergreens. roots to grow out and establish rapidly.
