Winter 2010

Welcome...

to the Winter issue. Since Autumn we have been checking loads of contacts ready for this Winter magazine. You will find hundreds of new and updated contacts in almost ever y categor y. We have also been busy with the website. It has changed a bit and we are adding even more useful information for East Surrey readers. Please let me know what you think. We are also planning an exciting new extra website with the other Surrey Family Grapevines. Keep an eye on the main site and we will add a link to the new site as soon as it is ready www.tfgeastsurrey.co.uk Thanks very much to PleaseCallMum.com who have a fabulous special offer for East Surrey Family Grapevine readers. See page 31 for details We like to feature information about a local charity in each magazine. This time you can find out about the Surrey Deaf Children’s Society on page 46. If you would like to feature a local charity, a community event, a competition, a reader offer or local news for the March issue (covering Easter), I would love to hear from you as soon as possible. If you notice a new person delivering your copies this winter, it is because the erson who normally delivers them to you has been very ill. We wish her all the best for a very speedy recovery.

Why you need a Will! Writing a Will is essential, however few people get around to doing it. In fact, over 75% of adults in the UK die without a Will. A Will is often thought of as just the place where one distributes one’s assets after death, but a Will also has a very important role to play, particularly for all parents with young children and especially for those who are not married. Your Will is the appropriate place to appoint Guardians for your children in the event of both parents dying. If this is not done it may be down to the Courts to decide who your children will live with. It is also the place to ensure the financial needs of both your children and the appointed Guardians. Trust Funds can be set up in your Will and used for the benefit of your children. In your Will you also name the Trustees who are going to administer these funds. Shortland and Sawbridge are a family business and are members of The Institute of Professional Will Writers. We specialise in writing Wills for people with young children. We are happy to provide you with more information on telephone 020 8397 5176 or email wills@shortlandsawbridge.co.uk A special discount is available to readers of The Family Grapevine. If you mention this article when making your appointment we will write your Will for the special price of just £140 each or £160 for a pair.

Babies and Antenatal

Heavenly

start to a new business….

As many readers will know, a lovely place for grown-ups and the under 5s called Heaven opened in Nutfield in early November. It’s founders, Jen Walsh and Emma Loughran, are delighted so far with the response to all that Heaven offers. From the Studio for exercise classes, to The Play Room where parents can enjoys a sit down with a really good cup of coffee while the little ones play, and the divine Pamper Rooms and Gallery Lounge – child-free and tranquil spaces where you can focus on recharging the batteries while your child has fun in the crèche. Add in the Café serving breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea, and great shopping throughout the building too, and you have a start-up project of quite challenging scope. Jen and Emma agree that having each other’s support and encouragement, and a complementary blend of skills was a critical factor in getting the business off the ground. Another important step was finding the right people to work with them who are committed to the ethos of the project and who have the positive energy needed to power through the inevitable challenges of the early months. Out-sourcing certain functions to specialist trading partners, such as Cullenders Delicatessen for the catering, and Chickidee for the retail, relieves some of the operational pressures, but at the end of the day the endless practical and emotional support from their families and friends has provided the bed-rock that the whole thing rests upon. Although it’s the hardest either of the women has ever worked, it’s also the most fun they’ve ever had in their work lives, and they would encourage other women considering starting up to believe in their own skills and take the risk.

Health in Pregnancy Grant comes to an end If you are pregnant and your baby is due between now and spring 2011, you can apply for the Health in Pregnancy Grant (HiPG), a oneoff payment of £190 for mums-to-be. The payment is intended to help you stay fit and healthy during the later stages of your pregnancy and around 850,000 women have benefited from the grant. If you are already 25 weeks pregnant, or you are beyond that stage, you need to apply for the grant now – please contact your midwife for a form, which he or she needs to sign. You need to return the signed form to HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC). The grant will come to an end in about January 2011, as the Government seeks to reduce the public debt. But if you reach the 25th week of your pregnancy before 1 January 2011, you will still be entitled to the grant, as long as you meet the set criteria.

If you see your midwife after 1 January but reach your 25th week of pregnancy before 1 January, you will still be eligible to claim. You must ensure you send your completed claim form to HMRC within 31 days of your midwife signing it or you may not receive the payment. For information on eligibility, see www.hmrc.gov.uk/hipg/what-is-it. htm. As the payment is available to all expectant mothers, the Government considers the payment to be a poorly targeted use of limited public funds and that abolishing it will help reduce the public deficit. After the Health in Pregnancy Grant ends, mums on low incomes will still be able to benefit from Healthy Start vouchers and Sure Start maternity grants. For details, see www.healthystart.nhs.uk, the Money, tax and benefits section of www.Direct.Gov.UK or contact Jobcentre Plus on 0800 055 6688.

Surrey’s first celebrity leftover cookbook A football legend and a Strictly Come Dancing winner are among the stars to contribute to Surrey’s first ever celebrity leftover cookbook. Match of the Day presenter and exEngland captain Gary Lineker and celebrity dancers, Camilla Dallerup and Flavia Cacace have given their leftover recipes to the free publication as part of Surrey Waste Partnership’s campaign to reduce food waste. The book, ‘Why not give your leftovers a makeover’, is part of the campaign to encourage residents to reduce their food waste. Ten celebrities have backed the Love Food Surrey campaign by each offering a leftover dish. Featured TV Chef Prue Leith said: “Eating up everything or not wasting the leftovers

is not just good for the economy and the environment, it is also very satisfying and makes you feel happily smug!” Surrey Waste Partnership chairman Jean Pearson said: “We all have responsibility to curb the culture of waste and not throw away food that can be used again. We hope that people follow the lead of Surrey’s famous faces and use these recipes to make significant savings.” To get your free copy of the limited edition celebrity cookbook, send an A5 stamped addressed envelope (1st class - 66p/2nd class - 51p) to Love Food Surrey, County Hall, Penryhn Road, Kingston-upon-Thames, KT1 2DN, or visit www.lovefoodsurrey.com to download an electronic copy.

If you want to keep fit, keep playing... The Playwright George Bernard Shaw once said “We don¹t stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing”. Well he might have added to that quote “If you want to keep fit, keep playing”. Kidspace Adventures along with the PPA (Play providers association) and the Goverments Play for life campaign want to highlight to Parents and Children the positive benefits of regular play. Indoor play centres have always been great fun, what with all the climbing, swinging, jumping and pulling, however I wonder how many of us actually stop to think about the health benefits. Research conducted recently at Kidspace showed that in a 2hr play session children took between 6,000 and 8,000 paces. Even at the lower level that is 50% of the recommended daily amount of steps for Boys and Girls, which is an astonishing figure. If you looked at calories used during this time it would probably be an even higher percentage. Activities at Kidspace such as the climbing wall and sky trail use far more energy and will importantly aid the development of arm and shoulder muscles in children improving motor skills & coordination. In today’s digital age of video games and television, especially during the winter months, it’s very easy to lose sight of the short and long term health benefits of physical activity for children. As adults, many of us started the New Year with resolutions of a healthier lifestyle, but do we make the same promises for our children? You only have to look around Kidspace on any afternoon or weekend and see all the children

with their bright red faces having the time of their lives but all the while engaging in what any fitness instructor would describe as a high intensity work out. Play really is exercise in disguise. Vanessa, from East Croydon a mum with 2 boys who is a regular to Kidspace said “The best thing about coming to Kidspace is that I know at the end of it I will have two totally worn out kids who will be no trouble at all come bed time”. “The benefits of indoor play are vast” explains Kidspace Managing Director Richard Farley. “Kidspace Adventures provides one of the best forms of exercise for children. Importantly parents can relax in the quiet lounge areas where there is access to the Internet, newspapers and magazines, allthe while safe in the knowledge that their children are within a secure environment”. Here at Kidspace we have such a wide variety of equipment as well as one of the biggest play frames in the UK. This includes numerous slides including the 8 metre high black hole slide, a timed gauntlet, neon mazes, labyrinths, viewing pods, and the newly installed Exer-gaming zone!

So what are you waiting for? Lets play! Please view our advert on the back page of this issue of The East Surrey Family Grapevine.

Don’t be bullied. Don’t see red - use your head.

Bullies want a reaction. Don’t get upset, don’t bite back. Don’t let them win-it makes them look good in front of their mates. Do your best to show you are not bothered. Walk away. Try not to get upset or get into an argument. Keep yourself safe, stay clear of where the bullies are.

Eileen Hanner, STSD teacher, Kingswood, 01737 830893

Report bullying to a teacher (one you like and get on with). Stay calm, and ask for help. Tell the teacher clearly what has happened.

Penelope Lambert, STSD teacher, Reigate, 01737 245500

It’s about being one step ahead.

years ago, when I gave birth to my first son, I went through all the normal emotions of a new mum...the happiness, the tiredness, worries about how I would cope, the list goes on. I watched with pride as my son developed in all areas, apart from one... It came as a shock to discover after a series of appointments, that my son was actually deaf. All the songs Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d sung, the games weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d played, he had never heard my voice. More appointments followed, hearing aids were fitted, a new journey of learning to listen had begun. In Surrey there are around 1000 hearing impaired children. Some are born to families who have a deaf parent, whereas others are born to hearing parents who have no previous experience of hearing loss in the family. The Surrey Deaf Children Society (SDCS) is the regional section of the National Deaf Children Society (NDCS). It is run by volunteers who provide support for parents and activities for the children. We are there for parents whose baby or young child has been newly diagnosed and are happy to chat about

their experiences and offer support. There are coffee mornings and activities organised for parents with younger children so families meet other families in the same situation. Many of these children go through mainstream school and do not meet anyone else who wears a hearing aid or a cochlear implant, so we hold events such as mountain boarding and water skiing for them to meet other children. There are also family events, such as a Summer Fun Day, Christmas party and Family Signing for all to some and join in. I now have 3 lovely boys, two of whom are deaf. As a family we appreciate and value the support that we have received from the SDCS and have made some close friends along the way. If you would like to know more about the activities and support that the SDCS provides you can contact Gabi on 07904 191342 or visit www.surreydeaf.co.uk Registered Charity No. 208084
