Welcome

Welcome to the March Edition This month’s amazing front cover by Colette Langton is of the Blood Red Super Lunar Moon, she had a very early start one morning in January to be in place to get this picture. Apparently this will be the last time we see a Blood Moon for two years. We experienced a burst pipe in our loft during the late January cold snap, I visited one of our local plumbing suppliers who had me on my way with the correct part in about 2 minutes and at a cost of just £2.20, it’s always worth checking local businesses before you head off to chain stores as often they will have what you need but more importantly they have the expertise to help you out quickly too, KDS and HPS are both currently advertising with us.

Computer tips from Dolphin Computer Upgrades 114

Causes of Data Loss March heralds two auspicious dates – Mother’s Day and World Backup Day; and this year, they fall on the same day. For those celebrating with their mum, it’s likely you’ll save the memories of the day by taking a few pictures. Once shared via email or social media, what becomes of those important images? One of the worst things about our line of work is letting people know that they have lost everything on their computer, laptop, tablet or phone. It’s not a question of if, but when your data could be lost, and yet surprisingly few people bother backing up their data. 5 Reasons For Data Loss: Us: The most common reason for data loss is human error – you meant to move the file, but instead you deleted it. Heart breaking, but not unusual. Viruses: The term computer virus encompasses a whole menagerie of nasties, any of which can infiltrate your computer, infect it and leave you unable to access your files and/or deleting your data.

Failure: Computers fail for a variety of reasons, and when they do, they can take the crew down with the ship, meaning that you have lost not only your machine but also all the information stored on it. Power: Both power surges and power cuts can wipe out anything connected and fry the living daylights out of your data. Loss: Whether it be malicious theft of just accidently leaving your phone or laptop on the train, physically losing your equipment can mean you also lose all your data. Data loss doesn’t happen to some people – it can happen to us all, which is why we have backups on all our devices. If any of our machines goes down, we can still log into our backup from another device and access all our files, pictures, documents and contacts. If you don’t have a backup in place, you are at risk of losing everything that you have on your computer or phone – including your photos of mum….

Clifden House News

Top Five Social Care Myths Exposed Of the people diagnosed with dementia in the UK, 17 per cent of them live here in the southeast. Dementia remains one of society’s biggest health challenges, yet confusion over what people’s rights are and how much they will have to pay remains prevalent. We asked local expert, Nial Joyce of Clifden House, Dementia Care Centre, to debunk the most common myths about social care and give us the plain unvarnished truth. 1. Myth: Social care is free in England Reality: Although health care is free at the point of use in England, social care is not, and never has been. Your first step is to ask your local authority for an assessment of your social care and support needs. The rules are as follows: If you have more than £23,250 in savings or assets (including your pension and property, if no one else lives there), you will usually have to pay the full cost for care home fees. If you have less than £23,250, or your spouse or another dependent still lives in your home, you may qualify for council-funded care. 2. Myth: I have to sell my home to pay for care Reality: Not necessarily. Social services can lend you the money to pay for your care charged against your property value. Known as a Deferred Payment Agreement, this is a form of government loan with the money repaid when the property is eventually sold. Alternatively, a property could be let or refinanced to provide for care fees. 3. Myth: If my partner needs care I will lose my home Reality: Only the partner requiring care should be means tested. Property occupied by a partner is disregarded and only fifty percent of any private pension should be taken into account. The local

authority will also only take into account fifty percent of any joint savings. 4. Myth: If I move into a care home independently and run out of money, I will have to leave Reality: Should your capital reduce to £23,250 you can seek local authority assistance. However, if the home you are in costs more than the local authority is willing to pay, you may need to find a source of top-up funding or move to less expensive accommodation, which may be detrimental to health. If you think you may run out of money you should arrange an assessment of your care needs with the local social services department in advance, to ensure they will step in to help. Also check if the care home can continue to accommodate you at social services funding rates or will require a third party top-up. 5. Myth: I have dementia so I will be eligible for NHS continuing healthcare Reality: NHS continuing healthcare (also known as NHS continuing care) is a package of care arranged and funded by the NHS. It’s awarded depending on whether a person's primary need is a health need. It can be provided in a range of settings, including residential or nursing care or someone's own home. Applying for NHS continuing healthcare is not an easy process. Eligibility is based on an individual’s healthcare need, not a specific diagnosis, and a person with dementia may not necessarily be eligible for NHS Continuing Healthcare. For more details see www.nhs.uk About Clifden House Dementia Care Centre: Established 40 years ago, Clifden House Dementia Care Centre in Seaford specialises in providing residential and respite dementia care. It enables the individual to lead an active lifestyle with privacy, dignity and security. It also leads they way in managing over-medication, allowing the individual to live as full a life as possible. www.clifdenhouse.co.uk

Bridgefordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Best Bites

Whiplash Injury A sprain of the soft tissues of the neck, when they become stretched and damaged. It is common after a car accident when the neck is forcefully thrown forwards, backwards or sideways; the extreme flexion of the neck then whips back in the other direction. It can also occur from a blow to the head during sport or an assault. The cervical spine, or neck is designed to be flexible and is less protected than the rest of the spine leaving is more vulnerable to injury. Anatomy: The neck consists of 7 cervical vertebrae; the first 2, the atlas and axis are shaped differently from the remaining five and allow movement of the skull from side to side and backward and forward. Between each vertebrae is a disc and a nerve exiting from the spine. There are many complex muscles and ligaments in the neck to allow its movement and support. The anterior longitudinal ligament, running along the front of the spine is often injured during whiplash. Symptoms: Common symptoms include pain, tenderness, discomfort and stiffness in the neck area with limited mobility; swelling, muscle spasms, headaches, pain in the shoulders, arms, jaw and lower back. Less common symptoms include pins and needles, numbness or weakness in the arms and hands, tiredness, dizziness, insomnia, poor concentration, memory loss and irritability. Symptoms may become worse a few hours to a few days later. You will need to seek urgent medical attention if you have more severe symptoms such as blurred vision, nausea, ringing in the ears or difficulty breathing. Causes: Common causes include road traffic accidents and collisions, a blow to the head by a heavy object, during sports or an assault, a slip or fall where the head is jolted backwards, head-banging, a roller coaster ride and bungee jumping. The over-extension and recoil damages ligaments and tendons in the neck. You are more at risk if you are a woman because your neck muscles are often less developed, an athlete particularly in high risk sports, you have poor posture or congenital spinal problems; also if your car head restraints are badly fitted. Complications are more likely if you are over 65, have immediate pain after the injury, have nerve damage or numbness or are unable to walk or sit down. Diagnosis: You will need to see your doctor if you have pain and stiffness in the neck, numbness or tingling following a road traffic accident or impact to the head. The doctor with examine your neck for the range of movement, swelling, tenderness and damage to muscles, ligaments and discs, and may also test your reflexes. X-rays, MRI or a CT scan may be required to rule out more serious injuries, such as a fracture, spinal cord compression or nerve injury.

Treatment: Self-help includes using ice packs to reduce pain and swelling, heat packs to soothe muscle pain, maintaining a good posture, especially at the computer, avoid sitting or lying down for long periods, sleeping on your front or using more than one pillow, a supportive pillow may be helpful. Whiplash is thought to get better on its own in a few weeks or months or after some basic treatment; keeping your neck mobile and continuing with normal activities, specific exercises and stretches, taking paracetamol or ibuprofen painkillers or something stronger from your doctor if needed. You may be referred to a specialist or pain clinic if the pain persists for a long time. Osteopathic/Manual Management: Take a detailed case history to understand the nature of the problem and surrounding issues. Examine the neck, shoulders, arms, jaw and spine and all surrounding tissues; muscles, ligaments, nerves, fascia, etc., for movement, strength and functionality and assess nerve pathways. Consider the effect of the force of impact on the whole body. Perform orthopaedic and neurological tests. Treat to reduce muscle tension, nerve irritation and soft tissue pain. Advice regarding specific exercise and stretching the neck and shoulders. 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.

Friends of Beacon Hill & Pause For Thought

Beacon Hill Nature Reserve 3 years ago we installed 20 bird boxes in North Wood all donated by our dearly remembered friend and supporter Fred Daly. By offering the boxes up for annual sponsorship we have been able to raise funds for tools to use during our workdays so that we don’t have to rely on BHCC to provide any. Under the guidance of an article on the RSPB website we ventured into the woods to clean out the bird boxes. The reason for taking them down for a clean is because the nest can harbour fleas and other parasites which might remain and infect young birds that hatch the following year. We found a total of 11 boxes had significant nests inside along with a large number of woodlice and the like. As with all neighbourhoods, there was a variety of styling within the nests. Box 9 had a lovely deep nest comprising of an initial layer of twigs and leaves followed by a lovely comfy layer made up of sheeps wool interspersed with some red wool that likely came from a discarded glove or scarf. This was quite the John Lewis of bird mattresses. The designer responsible for Box 19 made the nest with the usual bottom layer of twigs but complemented the sheeps wool with lime green – no doubt from tennis balls either lobbed up from the recreation ground or dropped by an inattentive dog.

All boxes are now back in situ and we will be monitoring from the ground during the coming months. If you see any activity please let us know so we can report back to our avid supporters. The photos below show the contents of the nests laid on a white background for a better visual. 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. With the nesting season nearly upon it's an ideal time to remind walkers and dogs alike to try to keep to the paths on the Nature Reserve. The ground-nesting Skylarks are in decline and anything we can do to encourage their continued breeding on Beacon Hill will be a good thing. FOBeaconHill@gmail.com 01273 983000 www.facebook.com/beaconhillrottingdean

Box 7 was empty but the opening from the inside showed either something was gnawing from the outside trying to get in or pecking from the inside trying to make the hole bigger. The boxes all have a metal strip with a hole in the middle across the opening. This is to deter squirrels and the like from gnawing away at the wood to make the hole bigger and therefore accessible to come and steal the eggs. Whilst not all the boxes were nested in, we did find a tiny yellow feather in Box 18 which would indicate blue tits had paid a visit.

Pause For Thought With father Jim from St Nicholas Just as Advent leads us to Christmas, Lent is a time of preparation for Easter. With Easter being the most important Christian festival of the year, Lent too is important for Christians and is observed by all the major denominations, especially the Anglican, Catholic and Orthodox traditions. Lent is a time of solemn observance and preparation for the joys of Easter. Starting on Ash Wednesday and ending in the glorious vigil service on Holy Saturday, Lent is a time for us to step back and to take stock of our lives and our relationship with our God. The season commemorates the forty days Jesus spent in the wilderness, being tempted by the devil before he entered his public ministry. During Lent, the tradition is that people would fast, abstain from certain foods or at certain times, therefore “giving something up for Lent.” If you are going to give up caffeine, chocolate, meat or even booze (!), why not give the money you would have spent to a charity or good cause? By the time you read this – Lent would have begun with Ash Wednesday this year on 6�� March. But as well as giving things up got Lent, people often take on extra things – this might be attending an extra service, or period of prayer. Maybe an opportunity to do something for a neighbour in need. At St Nicholas we will be having some additional services - Stations of the Cross at 12 on Saturdays (followed by a frugal lunch) and Compline (short, beautiful, night service) at 9pm on Wednesdays. All very welcome. As the liturgy says: ‘I invite you, therefore, in the name of the Church, to the observance of

a holy Lent, by self-examination and repentance; by prayer, fasting, and self-denial; and by reading and meditating on God’s holy word.’ Fr Jim Ps Actually, if you count the days between Ash Wednesday and Holy Saturday there are 46, Sundays don’t count so you could have a cheeky glass of wine but don’t tell anyone I said so. St Nicholas is the Parish Church for Saltdean. We are an inclusive church and if you are looking to start your Christian journey or are way down the road – you will be most welcome. Service details can be found on our website www.saltdeansaintnicholas.org.uk and we are even on Facebook and Twitter!

Steephill Studio & Gallery Coming soon to Saltdean, Steephill Studio and Gallery, opening in the spring Hello to all the Deans Magazine readers out there. I’m Polly Farrell and I am a local artist, having moved to Saltdean in 2017. I love it here! We are close to the sea, the shops, the bus stops and all the people are so helpful and kind. I have made great friends. I gave up my full-time job to become a freelance artist and musician in September 2017 (I am also in a folk band called Brogue!) I have been selling my art work on line and at craft fairs with pleasing success. In addition to painting and sketching, I paint ceramics and glass. I love the art deco style and this is reflected in some of my acrylic paintings, where I paint faux stained glass as a background and I use the geometric shapes that were popular at the time. I am a ‘colourist’ but I also love just to draw – especially people. You will see sketches of George Michael, David Essex and many others if you look on my Instagram or facebook galleries. In Spring 2019 I am opening Steephill Studio and Gallery (which is currently being built in my loft). My former work involved training and I have 25 years’ experience as a trainer so I will be offering classes in drawing for beginners, drawing people and glass & ceramic painting. I will also be starting an Art Club where all materials will be provided so you can come

along and draw and paint in a light-filled and well-equipped studio – it is such a relaxing thing to do! My studio will also be available for hire to work creatively if you need some studio space and don’t mind sharing with me! If any of this catches your imagination, please get in touch with me to tell me what interests you at paulinefarrell1@virginmedia.com Further details on classes and the Art Club will be provided as soon as possible. You can review my artwork at Facebook and Instagram pages: FB: FarrellsArtandCraftEmporium Instagram: @farrellsartandcraftemporium

Local history - Article 83

The Hazelcar Mike Laslett

Britain’s First Minicar was developed in Rottingdean

Following last month’s article about pedestrians we now move to motoring. After service in The Great War, Thomas Hazeldine founded Hazeldine Motors at premises off Rottingdean High Street in 1925. After their World War Two service, his sons, Ray and Eric, used the garage as a base to develop a hand built, lightweight, minicar, which they named the Hazelcar. The car had a rear 933 cc Ford 8hp engine which could achieve 50 miles per gallon and reach a speed of 50 miles per hour. Electric BMA Hazelcar

See us online at www.deansmagazine.co.uk

It was 9 feet 3 inches long and 4 feet 5 inches wide, compared with a modern Mini which is 13 feet long and almost 6 feet wide! In 1947 the brothers bought Morris’ Garage at Telscombe Cliffs in order to start production of the car. An electric version was produced in Hove in collaboration with the Battery Manufacturing Association and these cars were known as BMA Hazelcars. In 1952 the Telscombe garage was sold to The Regent Garage and the outstanding models completed at Rottingdean, while production of electric versions including vans continued in Hove until 1955.

The cars were very reliable, a fact evidenced by Roy and Eric successfully entering KUF 959 (illustrated) in the Daily Express 1,000- mile rally from London to Torquay via Scotland. The downfall of the vehicle was probably the cost which, at ÂŁ535, was comparable with a fully fitted Morris Minor 4-door saloon complete with heater! The final blow came when the Korean war prevented the supply of the Ford engines. One Rottingdean resident to benefit from the reliability and speed of this vehicle was Dominick Jones. He was the son of Lord and Lady Jones of North End House. Lady Jones was the writer Enid Bagnold (of National Velvet and Chalk Garden fame) and her husband, Sir Roderick, was Chairman of Reuters.

LOCAL BUSINESS

Concerned at his sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s speeding, Sir Roderick ordered the car LCD 778 for him in 1951 having heard that the car was only capable of 20 mph. Unfortunately for him this related to the electric version. The model purchased was the petrol version capable of up to 50 mph which Dominick took to London. Oxford and Scotland!

Neighbourhood Watch

Community Speedwatch In 2018 the East Sussex Community Speedwatch team have issued a shocking 40,000 letters to speeding motorists. Whilst speeding remains an issue the Police assessment is that speedwatch teams, with continued support from Sussex Police and the Parish Councils, have managed to make a marked reduction by their sustained activity.

B&H Council carried out a survey of residents concerning the introduction of 20mph speed limits and Rottingdean and Ovingdean opted to introduce 20mph limits on all roads and Saltdean for 20 mph roads only around the park and the school. We would hope therefore that all residents will adhere to these speed limits which are now accepted into the law.

A child dies every week from traffic accidents. 72% of these deaths occur on their way to or from school. Inappropriate speeds play a significant factor in car accidents with over 40% of fatalities caused by drivers going over the speed limit.

Greenways in Ovingdean was recently added as an approved monitoring location. If you have specific roads with speeding traffic concerns, please contact our speedwatch coordinator.

Our local Community Speedwatch Team (12 approved operators) cover Police approved locations in Saltdean, Rottingdean and Ovingdean and carry out about six monitoring sessions a month. We would welcome more volunteers. Anyone over 18 can join and receive appropriate training and will be supported by the neighbourhood policing staff. The work of the volunteers enables the Police to warn speeding drivers of their actions, which in turn prevents accidents and that most importantly saves lives.

â&#x2013;Ş

Volunteers can register by visiting our website https://www.communityspeedwatch.co.uk under the register tab. If you need further assistance with registering, please feel free to contact our local Community Speedwatch Coordinator Richard Morris, richard.morris011@outlook.com or call 07712 145131.

Cinema Saltdean

The Children Act Emma Thompson, awarded a Damehood in the New Year’s Honours list, thus officially attaining ‘National Treasure’ status, gives a superb performance as Justice Maye (My Lady) in this emotional rollercoaster of a film. Adapted from Ian McEwan’s novel, The Children Act’s central plot revolves around the rights and wrongs of denying a blood transfusion, since it is against the faith of Jehovah’s Witnesses. Adam Henry (Fionn Whitehead) plays a gifted 17 years old who lies in hospital in a critical condition. A blood transfusion could save his life. The family are devoted Jehovah Witnesses and so cannot support the life-saving transfusion. Whitehead follows his breakout performance in Christopher Nolan’s ‘Dunkirk’, as the cause célèbre and is particularly well cast here as the young talented man at the centre of the principal Court case. The character is, however, complex; finding challenges way beyond the courtroom; grappling with his own insecurities, family disagreements, emotional vulnerability and artistic fragility. Nolan was moved to confer Whitehead ‘rising star’ status, dubbing him ‘a young Tom Courtney’ and he may just be right. My Lady Justice Maye (Emma Thompson) hears the case in this London-based drama. Maye’s expertise lies in presiding over the ethical dilemma brought under The Children Act 1989 in which Courts are authorised to act in a child’s best interests. Enough plot for one film you might think: I see your ‘plot gauge’ almost pointing to full, but wait, there’s more. My Lady Maye has more drama in her life, this time out of Court. Take, for example, husband Jack, (Stanley Tucci) neglected, playing second fiddle to My Lady’s career. Tucci effortlessly conjures up the staleness of a long marriage and the despair of a broken relationship. An understated performance that conveys the frustration of living with someone career-obsessed. His solution? An open marriage! This is ham-fisted idea to a better way forward, he tries to ‘sell’ to his wife in a calm, measured, rational and reasoned way. Good luck with that. My Lady however is having none of it and hostilities commence. Excellent supporting role from My Lady’s clerk Jason Watkins (‘Hampstead’, TV’s ‘W1A’) In the Director chair is theatre and film maestro Richard Eyre (‘Iris’, ‘The Dresser’, ‘Notes on a

(Cert 12)

Scandal’) delivering again his hallmark intelligent take on storytelling; producing a sophisticated, intense drama. Films of this quality are rare, and I go back all the way to ‘Remains of the Day’ to remember Thompson being this good. I approached it with some trepidation after reading a couple of lukewarm reviews but after three viewings (yes, three) it remains the thought-provoking film I saw the first time. The film doesn’t give you an easy ride, nor does it provide you with any easy answers to its moral and ethical questions. It never lets you go - batting your emotions around like a ball in a pinball machine. There are few laughs on offer here but there are some superb performances that you will be thinking about for days to come. Bring a hankie. Next month we are off to meet ‘The Wife’. Glen Close and Jonathan Price star. Poignant and funny, an emotional journey. Jon

This wealth of experience is reflected in his paintings, focused on illustrating the energy of nature and showing the vibrancy of colour and movement in landscapes, painted in oils and pastels en plein air around the world. 19 – 31 March: Into the West, Light and Water. Lucy Parker

Paintings of the American West from sketches done on a journey from Texas to California, inspired by the light and the vastness of America; also life and landscape painting of subjects closer to home. The artist will also be showing some of her “weird and wonderful” patchwork cushions as well. The Gallery is open daily from Tuesday to Sunday; the opening hours are Tuesday to Saturday 10.30 – 16.00 and Sunday 14.00 to 16.00 Should you not yet be a member of the Rottingdean Preservation Society and would like to join us, please telephone 07753 814425 or email rpsmemsec@gmail.com.

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

Investment Bonds Investment Bonds are life insurance policies where you invest a lump sum in a variety of available funds. The majority of Investment Bonds have no set investment term. When you cash in Investment Bonds, how much you get back will depend on how well, or badly, the investment funds have performed. When might Investment Bonds be right for you? ● You want to invest a lump sum – usually at least £5,000 ● Although you can take withdrawals sooner, you can tie up your initial investment for at least five years ● You are comfortable with the fact that the value of your investment can go down as well as up and you might get back less than you invested How Investment Bonds work

of up to 5% each year of the amount that you invested can be taken without triggering any immediate tax liability. However, the tax is in effect only deferred as, when the Bond is cashed in, withdrawals will be added to any profit made and taxed as income in that tax year. ● These types of Investments may not be right for you, if you think you might want access to over 5% of your initial investment per year. Tax on Investment Bonds ● All gains and income earned within an Investment Bond is taxed at 20% and paid directly out of the Investment Bond.

● You invest a lump sum – the minimum is usually between £5,000 and £10,000.

● Withdrawals of up to 5% a year are allowed for up to 20 years without incurring an additional tax charge.

● Most Investment Bonds are whole of life assurance contracts. There is usually no minimum term, although surrender penalties might apply in the early years.

● If you don’t use your 5% allowance in a given year, the allowance is carried over to the following year i.e. if you make no withdrawals in year one, you could draw up to 10% the following year without incurring a tax liability.

● Usually you have a choice of funds to invest the money into. ● At surrender, or on death, a lump sum will be paid out. The amount depends mainly on the Bond’s investment performance. ● You can often take income [which is classed as withdrawals] of up to 5% of the initial investment with no immediate tax liability. How your money is invested ● You often have a choice of two basic types of funds – with-profits or unit-linked. ● With the unit-linked option, you often have around 200 funds to choose from, therefore, there is always an option to match your individual attitude to investment risk. Risk and return

● These contracts have quite complicated tax rules, for example any income and all the Bond’s capital gain is treated as income for tax purposes. Therefore, please do not buy or surrender an Investment Bond without seeking independent financial advice. A few final words; ● Never take a greater investment risk than you are totally happy with and also you can afford to take. ● All Investments 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.

● By choosing a Bond that allows you to invest in a variety of investment funds and switch between funds easily, you might weather the ‘ups and downs’ of the market better.

Please contact us for all your Independent Financial Advice.

● Because there’s an element of Life Assurance within your Investment Bond, currently the Local Authorities do not use these investments within their normal ‘means testing’ calculations.

Graham Cooper, DipPFS

Access to your money ● You can usually withdraw some or all of your money whenever you need to, but a surrender penalty might apply if you do so in the first few years. There might also be a tax charge. ● Investment Bonds also allow you to make regular withdrawals each year up to a specified limit. Withdrawals
