Welcome

Welcome to the April Edition First off an apology to Saltdean Dental for running an incorrect advert for them last month and to our readers for any inconvenience it may have caused. Sometimes in the rush to get everything to the printers on time things get missed and this was the case here. Our dramatic cover picture by Colette Langton shows the effect of high winds on the sea down at the undercliff walkway, it reassuring to know that this concrete barrier is there protecting the cliffs from the worst effects of the sea, as our history article on pages 40/41 shows a number of properties either went into the sea or had to be demolished before it had been built. I’ve signed up for more skateboarding this month, I’m prepared this time though with upgraded knee & elbow pads, some new wrist protectors and most importantly some very padded shorts, so aside from a few new bruises I hope to be up to the task of producing the May magazine! Colin Rayne is providing our cover image next month this is to highlight him opening his gallery up for the Brighton Festival’s Fringe once again.

Computer tips from Dolphin Computer Upgrades 115

Setting Up a New Computer Setting up a new computer is a doddle – if you know what you’re doing. But for those who are less technically literate, setting up a new computer can be a real challenge. We have a few tips that may help you along the way. Choose The Right Machine: The first tip because it is the most important. Before you buy anything, you need to think what you will be using it for. A desktop computer may be best if you are after a large memory whereas a small laptop would suit if you need to be more mobile. Decide On The Software: You can usually add more in the future, but there certain programs you will probably need right from the start. Will you be wanting to download your photos from your phone, and to edit them? What about your emails? Your anti-virus and your backup? Switch It On And Off: A bug bear for a lot of people when they get a new machine is that the

“buttons” are now in different places. Where you once clicked to turn your computer off has now disappeared, and you can’t get find your folders. Unfortunately, most new computers don’t come with instructions, but there are a lot of online resources that can help. Where Is The Darn Printer? So you’ve got it out of the box, running emails and can see your photos – but your new computer cant “find” your printer. Hooking your computer up to any device you want connected can be as mind-boggling as setting the machine up in the first place is. Transfer Your Data: If adding the printer wasn’t frustrating enough, how about transferring all the data from your old computer to this new one? Yes, you’ll need to do this too. Unfortunately, setting up a new computer is a lengthy process and to get it done without losing your temper? Its probably best to let us do it for you instead.

Clifden House News

Walk, Don’t Run! #teamclifdenhouse A new team has entered the local football scene. Residents from Clifden House Dementia Care Centre, Seaford, now have regular team to take part and enjoy ‘walking football’ at the Downs Leisure Club. Nial Joyce of Clifden House, said: “Our residents already really enjoy our regular bowling matches at the local Newhaven indoor bowling centre, so widening this to now also take part in walking football made perfect sense.” Walking football is different to regular football in many ways and is aimed at the over 50’s age group. It has very specific rules that outlaw all running and allows no contact between players. Over-head height restrictions and indirect free kicks ensure that the sport is played safely with full consideration to the participants’ age. Teams are either 5 or 6-aside. As a result of these rules, games are played at a slower pace, often on artificial grass pitches, thus reducing the threat of pain, discomfort and injury, with players briskly walking through matches. This allows people who have loved the sport all their lives to once again safely get back to playing and also introduces the sport to people who perhaps have never considered playing before. Hydration & Nutrition Clifden House also took part in Hydration and Nutrition Week. This annual event highlights, promotes and celebrates improvements in the provision of nutrition and hydration. Raising awareness of the 10 key characteristics of good nutrition and hydration care along with

giving people choice and control over their dietary needs has long been a priority at Clifden House. “We work as a team to ensure that our residents have the best possible nutritional care,” said Nial Joyce, of Clifden House Dementia Care Centre Clifden House ran themed days as part of the week including a Big Breakfast on Monday highlighting breakfast as the most important meal and a Smoothie Saturday. Niall Joyce of Clifden House said; “Smoothies are an excellent way of giving valuable nutrition from fruit and vegetables as well as rehydrating in an easily digestible form and are a firm favourite with our residents”. The highlight of the week was the Global Tea Party that showed a shared commitment among residents, relative and staff to nutritional care and the improvement of nutritional intake, but above all it brought everyone together to share joy and fun around the theme of nutritional wellbeing. www.clifdenhouse.co.uk

Local Therapist

Nicki Quinn - Physiotherapist As a therapist, I thrive on facilitating people to participate in activities of daily living that they are either worried about doing or they are in so much discomfort it prevents them from doing it. People are always looking to ‘fix’ their ailment with a sworn treatment or the latest gadget. Pain, brings fear, stress, anxiety and a decrease in confidence to know what the best way is to move forward, and people end up not doing anything. This results in resentfulness, deconditioning and a nasty cycle of getting weaker, becoming stiffer and less capable of daily activities often resulting in more pain! I pride myself in helping people reduce their pain in the first instance with manual therapy and guidance then commence a graded exercise plan to help people back to their desired function. I grew up in Middlesex and decided to come to Brighton to study at University. When I qualified as a physiotherapist in 1998, I was fortunate enough to land my first job in Guys and St Thomas’s in London and worked there getting a good sound foundation for two and a half years. After completing my time there, I went travelling around the world before coming back to Brighton to work at Brighton & Sussex University Hospitals Trust. Finally specializing in musculoskeletal out-patients. As

part of my continuing professional development I have completed many post graduate courses and as a teaching hospital, also involved with mentoring and teaching more inexperienced staff across the trust. I am also a busy mum of 4 beautiful boys, 13,11,9 and 6 years all of whom are very active and involved with sports, particularly football. So, I have made a lot of use of my skills for my own family! I decided to leave the NHS after 20 years as I felt I needed to take on new challenges and running my own business of Therapeutic Pilates classes, Shoulder Rehabilitation classes and individual physiotherapy assessments was just the ticket. I enjoy treating patient through a variety of different approaches, not just advice and exercises but I am very much a “hands -on” therapist and I feel the power of placing hands on people should never be under estimated. I am very much enjoying serving the local community with an efficient and effective physiotherapy service and look forward to meeting many more of you in the future.

Bridgeford’s Best Bites

Slipped Disc This is a common term referring to a condition describing the loss of normal structure and shape of the spinal discs. It is actually defined as a herniated disc, prolapsed disc or bulging disc and it can be extremely painful if it presses on nerves. Slipped discs are a widespread problem and whilst difficult to treat, they can respond very well to treatment. Anatomy: The discs between each of the vertebrae are pads that act like shock absorbers in the spinal column by keeping the vertebrae separated when there is impact from activity. They also serve to protect the nerves that run down the middle of the spine and intervertebral discs. Each disc is made up of a tyre-like, tough outer band called the annulus fibrosus and a gel-like inner substance called the nucleus pulposus. Symptoms: These vary depending on the location of the disc weakness and whether the prolapse/herniation interferes with a pain sensitive structure. The most common symptom is pain, usually occurring in the lower back, but also in the neck. If the disc presses on the sciatic nerve, you may also feel pain radiating into the hips and legs; or radiating into the arm, if in the neck. There may be numbness or tingling in the limbs and shoulders, or possibly muscle weakness and you may struggle to straighten your back or neck. Sometimes the pain can start in the back or neck then seem to disappear only to be replaced with leg or arm pain or vice versa. Although rare, a complete herniation can cause paralysis of the foot and leg and loss of control of the bladder and bowel. Not all slipped discs cause symptoms and some people will never know they have slipped a disc. Causes: The disc wall usually breaks down over a long period of time as a result of abnormal loading through the disc. This can be a result of poor spinal mechanics, poor muscle support, poor posture, past injury, or bad working habits. This can happen because of ageing, over exercising, lifting heavy objects the wrong way, vibration from driving or operating machinery, being inactive/sedentary or overweight.

See a GP if your painkillers aren't helping or the pain is no better after a month. They might prescribe a stronger painkiller, a steroid injection or a muscle relaxant to use in the short term. If your symptoms don't get better your GP might recommend further tests, like an MRI scan. In more rare cases, pain relieving injections and surgery can also be used. Osteopathic treatment can be very effective if caught in the first 6 weeks and your condition is not too severe. Prevention: Maintain good back strength and posture, always use a proper lifting technique, exercise regularly and maintain a healthy weight. Avoid smoking as nicotine weakens the disc tissue. Osteopathic/Manual Management: Take a detailed case history to understand the nature of the problem and surrounding issues. Examine the spine, neck and all areas leading to the site of pain; muscles, ligaments, nerves, fascia, etc., for movement, strength and functionality and assess motor nerve pathways. Consider the effect of the condition on the whole body. Perform orthopaedic and neurological tests. Treat to reduce any swelling, muscle tension and pain and improve joint alignment. Advice regarding specific strengthening and stretching exercises as well as postural/ lifestyle advice. Treatment may include manipulation, deep soft tissue massage, trigger point therapy, muscle energy techniques, fascial techniques, dry needling, etc. We are happy to advise you on your health matters. Lin Bridgeford DO KFRP MICAK MICRA FSCCO MSc Registered Osteopath & Kinesiologist & Yoga Teacher Aether Bios Clinic Saltdean 01273 309557 07710 227038 www.osteo-info.co.uk www.biosyoga.co.uk

Diagnosis: This is usually based on symptoms, medical history and other health conditions as well as any obvious causes, such as accidents. Diagnosis may include physical examination, X-ray, or MRI scan. See a GP urgently or go to A&E if you have back pain and you: got it after a serious accident, such as a car accident; have numbness around your bottom or genitals, lose feeling in one or both legs, can't pee or can't control when you pee or poo, have a very high temperature or you feel hot and shivery, have unexplained weight loss, have a swelling in your back. Treatment: The most common treatments of slipped discs include pain relief, rest, heat packs or a tens machine and exercise – it may be painful at first but it is important to keep moving. Gentle exercise that doesn’t put too much strain on your back helps to maintain strength and stops you getting too stiff.

Friends of Beacon Hill & Pause For Thought

Beacon Hill Nature Reserve Spring is in the air, everywhere you look around. The sheep are happy grazing the Nature Reserve, dutifully nibbling away the new shoots of bramble, hawthorn, ragwort and hoary cress. Hopefully this will mean the summer show of flowers will be able to push their delicate little heads up without being blocked by hardier plants. Last year showed a marked decrease in the growth of ragwort and we are putting this down, in part, to the spring grazing. Last year the spring grazers were with us for 52 days and we envisage the same this year, meaning they should be off by the beginning of May all going well. We’ve had a couple of incidents of sheep getting tangled in brambles but with lookerers* coming around twice daily and diligent dog walkers (and general walkers too) calling the shepherd, no real damage as been done and each sheep being released back into the flock. Please feel free to call the numbers listed around the Nature Reserve if you come across a sheep in distress. We planted around 200 tree saplings late last year and, whilst they don’t look particularly pretty being encased in their plastic protective sheath, upon investigation the majority seem to be doing very well. The sheaths are needed to protect the young trees from being nibbled by rabbits and the like, also offering protection from the elements. We have already taken delivery of another batch of 200+ tree saplings and will be holding a Saturday session to plant them sometime

in late Spring. Please keep an eye on our FaceBook page for more information. We meet for a 2 hour session on the 2ⁿ� Tuesday and 4�� Friday of each month, 10AM at the Beacon Hub carpark. Our current job is scrub bashing so please join us in sturdy footwear and if you have secatuers bring them along. We always look forward to having new members so come and join in the fun.

Pause For Thought - Easter With father Jim from St Nicholas This week the Church season reaches Holy Week and the Triduum the three days that begins with the Last Supper on Maundy Thursday, takes us through the (seeming) desolation of Good Friday and culminates as we welcome the first light of Easter at the glorious Easter Vigil. Maundy Thursday The word Maundy comes from the Latin word mandatum meaning commandment. In the Maundy service we read from John’s gospel the depiction of the Last supper, Jesus says “I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another.” The service is full of rich and complex imagery; the priest washes the feet of some of the congregation, imitating the humble service of Jesus to His disciples. We remember the institution of the Eucharist (Holy Communion) through the sharing of the bread and wine. Once the Communion is over the church is stripped of all decoration and the vigil begins. The vigil represents Jesus’ agony in the garden of Gethsemane, and we are asked to wait with him, “Could you not watch with me one hour?” Good Friday Good Friday is the day when we remember the death of Jesus, you might well ask, ‘What’s so good about that?’ It is thought that the day is “Good” because it’s holy, or that it means God’s Friday. On Good Friday the church is bare, all the hangings and pictures are removed. At St Nicholas we celebrate the Stations of the Cross - each station representing a point on Christ’s journey from trial to being laid in the tomb. A large wooden cross is brought into the church, the clergy and people may approach and offer a mark of respect for what it represents (Christ’s suffering for us), kneeling or bowing before the cross or kissing it.

Easter Vigil From earliest times Christians have gathered through the night of Easter to recall the story of God’s work - from creation through to the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. The service is a real experience of new life for the worshipper, a passing from darkness to light which offers hope to all the faithful. The fire is lit outside, and the Paschal candle is lit and brought into the church. As the Gloria is sung, the lights come on, bells are rung and the celebration of Jesus’ victory over death is proclaimed. Have a happy and blessed Easter, and hopefully we will see you at one of our main services this weekend. Father Jim Easter Services Maundy Thursday: 8pm Good Friday, Stations of the Cross: 1pm Saturday, Easter Vigil: 8:30pm Sunday, Parish Eucharist: 10.30am www.saltdeansaintnicholas.org.uk

Local history - Article 84

The Iron House Mike Laslett

I recently acquired three interior pictures of a corrugated-iron dwelling called the Iron House at Rottingdean, totally unaware of what or where it was. Therefore I put my research hat on!!

These interior pictures show the interesting construction using internal timber to frame the doors and windows. Note the heavy wooden furniture and the drugget on the hall floor. The house is certainly not there now, so where was it and when was it erected? Cliffe House and the Iron House stood on the clifftop as you enter Rottingdean from Brighton, just above The White Horse car park. It existed as early as 1895 and was there 1896 when the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Daddy long legsâ&#x20AC;? railway visited the pier. The last record is in the 1931 and 1932 Voters lists which show that it was occupied by a Miss Violet Mary Clement.

See us online at www.deansmagazine.co.uk

41 The Iron House and Cliffe House, which stood to the east, were both removed in the early thirties before they toppled over the cliff. In the views from West and East you can easily the Iron House as Cliffe House has already been demolished. You can see what happened to the tearooms on the other side of the Gap in the twenties. The construction of the undercliff walk to Saltdean in the early thirties put a Cliffe House stop to the constant cliff falls. The photos are courtesy of the Rottingdean Preservation Society and the James Gray collection. The photos are complemented by a painting which shows the house by local artist Charles Ginners and is reproduced by courtesy of the Art Gallery at Worthing Borough Council. As well as the undercliff walk the terraces were built in the mid thirties and you can see here the railway tracks which were temporarily used during construction. Similar tracks were laid to build the roads in Saltdean.

Neighbourhood Watch

Be Bright Be Seen The Sussex Safer Roads Partnership www.sussexsaferroads.gov.uk are running “Be bright Be seen” and “We’re keeping an eye on you” campaigns. The main priority at SSRP is the safety of road users. While they do as much as they can to look after those who take to the highways and byways of Sussex and beyond, there are things that road users themselves can do to improve their protection and adopt a degree of responsibility for those who share the roads with them. If you are a cyclist, pedestrian or even horse-rider, have you considered your visibility? It is your responsibility to make yourself as visible as possible. SSRP recommend the following: ● High visibility vests & jackets – it is best to have fluorescent & reflective items to wear. ● Lights on bikes – It is not only the law to use lights on your push bike, but it helps greatly with visibility. Flashing lights can help even more ● Reflective snapbands – These can be moved to different parts of the body and are most useful on limbs that will be active for both cyclists and pedestrians. ● Rucksack covers – Even if you wear a high-visibility vest, this will get covered if you put a rucksack over it. A fluorescent and reflective cover with help here.

● If you are a dog walker or a pedestrian you might like to consider some of the above. It is better to be lit up like a Christmas tree than not at all, so do not panic that you may have too much on! Visit the portal as there is a lot of information there for people of all ages. WE’RE KEEPING AN EYE ON YOU The SSRP are also rolling out a “We’re keeping an eye on you” campaign along the South Coast run in conjunction with East Sussex Fire & Rescue Service. This will include the following messages “Check Your Speed Before We do”, “Don’t Drink & Drive”, and “Think Biker”. It is part of trying to influence and change driver behaviour and remind people of their responsibilities as a driver or motorcyclist to try and reduce accidents and serious injury on the roads of Sussex. If you have a local speeding issue and would like the local team to assess please contact stephen.oconnell@sussex.pnn.police.uk and one the their team will be happy to assist. For more information about Neighbourhood Watch contact Secretary Linda Hood on 01273 306441 or email nhw.srosec@hotmail.co.uk

Cinema Saltdean

The Wife

(Cert 15)

Glenn Close and Jonathan Pryce Glenn Close has spent the last forty years breathing life into powerful, complex and unforgettable female characters on both screen and stage. In ‘Fatal Attraction’, the Marquise de Merteull in ‘Dangerous Liaisons’, Norma Desmond in ‘‘Sunset Boulevard and Patty Hewes in ‘Damages’. To those unforgettable performances we can now add Joan Castleman, the title charterer in Bjorn Runge’s gripping film ‘The Wife’.

America’) contributes a well-crafted cameo as an author Elaine Mozell, who tells young Joan some home truths with which to come to terms. Pryce, meanwhile, offers a wonderful pompous portrayal of a respected man of letters who, for all his displays of diffidence and humility, is only too happy to bask in the glow of praise from anyone and everyone who nods in his general direction.

Joe Castleman is an acclaimed author of fiction, he has arrogantly primped and postured his way to fame and fortune. In doing so his supportive wife is overshadowed into non-existence. Joe’s success has earned him the Noble prize for Literature. A trip to Sweden, to collect the prize, is on the cards: it’s time for celebration.

Arguably Glenn Close’s best performance for some years; this is highly watchable.

Joe and Joan met when Joan was Joe’s student at university; the trip to Sweden and the subsequent Nobel event reveals fissures in their long relationship. We begin to learn that all is not what it first appears to be. Has Joan finally tired of her husband’s preening arrogance and infidelities? Joe’s coldness towards their son David, Max Irons, (‘Condor’ ‘Terminal’) is clearly a catalyst for further discontent. Is it that Joan has spent so many years nurturing her husband’s success that she has forgotten how to be the woman she once was?

Stan and Ollie next month – the untold story of the much loved comedy pair.

Simmering tensions and gender politics all spill into the bright light of day and, after so much pent-up emotion, Peter Finch’s much quoted line from ‘Network’ sums up Joan’s take on her husband “I’m as mad as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore”.

Anthony

Flashbacks to Joan’s youth, featuring Close’s own daughter, Annie Starke, as her younger self, help tease out the mystery that lurks beneath Joan’s dignified composure. Nathaniel Bone, Christian Slater (‘True Romance’, Robin Hood Prince of Thieves’) plays a sly hack, intent on writing Joe’s biography, trying all sorts of tricks to unravel the mystery of the celebrity couple. Elsewhere in the story, ‘Downton Abbey’ star Elizabeth McGovern, (‘Ordinary People’ and ‘Once Upon a Time in

Local Pre-School

Saltdean Pre-School Saltdean Pre-school, located in St Nicholas Church Hall on Saltdean Vale, first opened its doors to young children in the 1960s as a mother and toddler group. It has since evolved into a thriving community pre-school and offers sessions for children from age 2-5 years. Over the years the pre-school has welcomed many local children, providing a safe environment for them to learn through play with nurturing adults supporting them along the way. We plan following the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) which sets standards for learning, development and standards. A broad range of activities enable the children to develop their creativity, build their social skills and, most importantly, have fun whilst learning! The skilled practitioners create personalised activities based on the children’s interests which was noted in the most recent Ofsted inspection. The success of the pre-school is also reflected in the length of time it has been running and that many Saltdean residents, who attended the preschool themselves, have chosen to send their own children there too. The pre-school is currently led by Sarah Little (since 2016) with her fantastic team of experienced practitioners: Stella, Marianne, Liz, Charmian and Martina. Every member of staff is highly experienced and some have had their children

and/or grandchildren attend too. Saltdean pre-school prides itself on being a personal and nurturing setting for children to take their very first steps in learning. Children have the opportunity to build strong friendships with other local children, which supports them on their journey to primary school. The pre-school works closely with Saltdean Primary School to ensure a smooth transition is provided for the children. The pre-school is currently open Monday- Friday during term time from 8.15- 12.55pm. Fully funded places are available. Please contact us to see what a wonderful place it is for yourselves. But don’t just take our word for it, here are what some of our lovely children have to say about their preschool: Nelle, aged 3, says, “I love preschool because of all the toys and all my friends to play with” Rosie, aged 3 says, “Pre-school is fun because I like playing outside and making things” As a registered charity, Saltdean pre-school is run by a committee of parent volunteers. The committee invite new members from the local community to help with tasks such as fundraising. If you’re interested in helping out please get in touch.

Please remember you have opportunities this month to win one or more of our very special Easter Eggs. They are located in various venues around the Deans in the two or three weeks running up to Easter and you have a 1 in 100 chance to win a large egg for just £1. With such good odds, please pop along and have a punt. As we enter a busy season for the Lions, I would like to thank readers of The Deans Magazine for their continued and generous support. Arrangements are well under way for the Fayre and Gala, but we need more physical help on these days. If you would like to help us out at our up and coming summer events please do get in touch with us – contact details listed below. We were saddened to learn the news from Autism Sussex that they are closing their Carlton Hill Centre. As you may remember we helped them to equip a sensory room a couple of years ago at this Centre. We have visited them and discussed what would happen with the equipment we donated. Juliet Smith indicated there was a possibility to move the sensory room to a premise in Hove where many of her current clients would be able to go. Following a visit it was clear this wasn’t a possible location as the space was very small. An alternative, however, of Hillside School has been found to be appropriate. We are pleased this vital equipment will continue to be used. On behalf of the Lions, we would like to thank all at Carlton Hill Centre for the support they have given to the local autism community over the years. Over recent weeks, we were pleased to hear, that the newly founded Rottingdean and Saltdean Youth Club has been going from strength to strength. They meet

Local Therapist

Pain Therapist Penny Koster Myofascial Release - the gentle release of connective tissue, I have a beautiful log cabin in my garden where I work from, it is an incredibly relaxing and gentle space. I have been a therapist for many years, I have a lot of different qualifications and training, but the therapy I am most passionate about and know first‐hand works completely is myofascial release, Myo‐fascial is the connective tissue which joins everything together, covers everything, fills all the gaps holds you together, it has the memory of your life, it relays messages to your brain faster than the nervous System, every single thing that happens to you in your life whether it be good or bad is stored in your subconscious and your fascial system, The fascia is like a giant web made up of collagen, elastin and ground substance it covers you from top to toe with no orifices unlike your skin, it moves constantly within your body, it penetrates, covers, protects every organ, muscle, ligament, tendon, bones everything- we are fascia, scar tissue is damaged fascia that has gone hard and dehydrated, that is why generally women get more lower back problems then men because they have hysterectomies, C-sections and end up with fascia that is damaged, dehydrated and hard (scar tissue) so no longer moves and consequently pulls on areas like the lower back, fascia can become hardened dehydrated and stop moving and therefore cause problems, discomfort, pain, disease for many many different reasons I generally call it life. Another example because we are one complete unit everything is connected you could have a pain in your shoulder and the

pain could possibly originate in your lower back, or maybe your neck or both. Myofascial release is being called the missing link and I passionately believe this to be true, I believe in the not too distant future everyone will be having these treatments, The cause of discomfort, pain is the collagen layer of the fascia, this is the layer that has to be released from its stuck, dehydrated, no longer moving position! An Analogy if you step on a hosepipe the ﬂow is impaired. I am highly trained in myofascial release, I am trained to Body read to know where the problem is and then to un-stick it.. The whole world needs to know about this treatment! I feel very passionately that everyone should understand how it works, and as much as possible be able to do it to themselves and each other. There is no such thing as 'I have that pain because I'm getting old' No-one needs to have pain! Exceptions being if you break a leg or have an accident et cetera, I give these treatments which are extremely powerful but at the Same time very gentle, I also educate people so that they can self-care in the future and when they have a pain they understand why it's happening, and what they can do about it, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE HAS TO BE IN PAIN. Everyone is different sometimes it takes longer than others, IT IS WORTH THE WAIT! If you're interested in having a treatment and want to learn more about myofascial release and myself please go to: www.trigger-points.me.uk or phone me on 07951 117826

Grange Financial Services

Risk & Reward We would all like our money to grow substantially without risking our original investment amount. Unfortunately, this isn't possible. Almost all investment involves some degree of risk. What's important is that you understand and are comfortable with the risks you're taking before you choose to invest. WHAT IS RISK? There are many different types of risk, for example; ● Inflation Risk - The risk that the buying power of your capital decreases over time. ● Investment Risk - The risk that you might get back less than you invested. ● Volatility Risk - The risk that your investment value fluctuates over time. ● Diversification Risk – The risk your investments are not spread across different asset classes. ● Product Risk - The risk that you lose out on potentially better returns through alternative options. ● Political Risk – The risk that your investment will be affected by a political risk i.e. Brexit. Investment risk is the chance that your money will not perform in the way you want or need it to. For example, you invest aiming for growth but your investment loses value and when you cash-in, you get back less than you originally invested. WHAT IS REWARD? Investment reward is when your money does at least what you expect it to. For example, you make an investment aiming for growth and when you cash in, you get back more than you originally invested. Higher Risk often offers the potential for higher rewards, but it also comes with a greater chance of you losing money. Lower Risk normally has a smaller chance of loss, but the growth of your money will usually be less. For example; if you put your money in a bank account, although there is no investment risk, the interest you'll get (your 'reward), will probably be low. However, there is always some risk to consider – don’t forget Northern Rock. On the other hand, investing all your money in a single company's shares is very high risk, as your returns are dependent on that one company. If something happens to that company, it will change the value of your shares and, in the worst case, you could lose all your money. CAN I REDUCE MY INVESTMENT RISK? You can never get rid of investment risk completely, but it's possible to manage it so that you improve the chances of

making a reasonable return. This is called ‘investment diversification’. Investment diversification allows you to reduce the overall investment risk by putting your money in different asset classes with varying levels of risk, for example, Company Shares [known as Equities], Fixed Interest and Bond securities, Property and Cash – these are known as the major investment asset classes. Pooled Investments - This is where you buy into a fund and your money is pooled with many other people's money and invested into a wide range of company shares. Although less risky than individual company investments, if the stock market as a whole is falling in value, your pooled investment (if invested in shares) will probably also fall in value. As well as investing in shares, pooled investment funds can also invest in, Fixed Interest and Bonds (such as Corporate Bonds, Government Bonds, or both) and Property or Cash. An option often worth considering is Multi-Asset Funds which can invest in a mixture of assets from all the asset classes within one single fund. By diversifying your investments and saving your money in a range of different assets means that, if something happens to one of the asset classes, your overall loss is reduced as it is balanced out by your other investments. A few final words; ● Never take a greater investment risk than you are totally happy with and also you can afford to take. ● All Investment and Pensions should be reviewed regularly to ensure they remain on track and are performing up to your expectations, and remain within your ongoing Investment Risk Strategy. ● And finally, I would strongly recommend that you seek advice from an Independent Financial Adviser before making any investments.
