Welcome

Welcome to the May Edition This month’s cover is not a picture showing my reaction to this year’s Council Tax bill, but a rather nice interpretation of ‘The Scream’ by local Artist Colin Rayne, see the full story and list of event dates on page 39. Thanks to someone who knows a lot more about Social media than I do there is now a Deans Magazine Facebook page (thank you Jess Briffett), as time goes by I might even learn what I’m supposed to do with it! Bear with me and do check occasionally for updates on the magazine and local information too. As it looks like Summer might at last be just around the corner everything is getting going again, and whether or not you are thinking of visiting the Lido when it reopens for the season please do have a look at their important update on page 35.

Computer tips from Dolphin Computer Upgrades 104

5 Questions to Ask Your IT Company When you reach the point where you cannot solve your computer issues on your own, it’s time to call in expert help. But how do you choose the right computer support company for you? 5 Things To Ask Your IT Company: Are They Human? OK, as of yet we’re unaware of any IT company that is completely run by robots (watch this space…) so yes, they will be human. But can your new IT company communicate with you in ways that don’t leave you bamboozled by technical jargon? Are They Experienced? Some computer companies specialise in certain areas, or with particular types of technology. For example, they may only repair Windows or only Macs. Can your computer company help you whatever your problem? Are They Affordable? You tend to get what you pay for; a computer company that only looks after businesses is going to charge more than one who

only looks after home users. Its worth checking hourly rates and if they offer any set prices. Are They Single? There are a great many really good computer support guys and gals out there who are sole traders but a company who has more than one person can provide cover for when your main contact is on holiday, or poorly, or otherwise unavailable. Are They Loved? The best way of finding help for any aspect of life is a first-hand recommendation. Do others speak highly of them? Have they got any testimonials from people similar to you? Ultimately, you need to hire someone you will enjoy working alongside so checking out how “loved” they are by other people should help you get a feel for the type of company they are. We hope these five pointers will help you to find the right IT support company for your needs.

Clifden House News

Awareness Through Art A Celebration of Creativity As part of this year’s Dementia Awareness Week, residents at Clifden House Dementia Care Centre, Seaford, have collaborated with St Peter’s Church to open a week-long art exhibition at the Belgrave Road church on Sunday 20, May. The art exhibition is part of the residents’ efforts to raise awareness of dementia during this year’s Dementia Awareness Week. With the help of Clifden House’s activities coordinator, Deena, and Art Techniques director, Carol, residents of the dementia care centre have used their creative skills to create a range of visually stimulating art. Nial Joyce, of Clifden House Dementia Care Centre said: “This has been a joyful project to run and has had a life-affirming effect on the residents. Visual images are stimulating for dementia sufferers, so providing the opportunity to create these works of art has had a very therapeutic effect on everyone involved. “Creativity doesn’t vanish with the onset of dementia, and art is one of the many ways we help our residents to continue to live a creative and fulfilling life.” Deena McCormack, said: “Art is a regular activity at Clifden House, so arranging an exhibition to showcase the artwork of

our residents was an obvious next step. Please come along to the exhibition and admire the art the residents have worked so hard on to help raise awareness of the disease.” The exhibition launches Sunday 20, May during the 9:30 service of Holy Communion at St Peter’s Church on Belgrave Road in Seaford. The church exhibition will be open all week from 9:00 – 17:00. There will also be a prayer tree where the name of someone with dementia, or who has passed away from the disease can be added. Please share your photos and thoughts on the exhibition on Twitter or Facebook with the hashtags #DAW2018 #ClifdenHouse so we can find them! The collaboration between St Peter’s Church and Clifden House Dementia Care Centre is part of a comprehensive activity calendar at the home to create an active and vibrant environment where people stay connected to and involved in their local community. Clifden House is one of the leading dementia care homes in the South East. It has an overall ‘good’ rating from the CQC. www.clifdenhouse.co.uk 01323 896460

Osteopathy tips

Bridgeford’s Best Bites:

Cranial Bone Development in Babies Cranial bones begin to grow in the uterus and continue for several years to accommodate the growing brain. They form and grow inside the elastic membranes by a process called ossification.

From top left image: Front Side Top Inside View from underneath

In Utero · 7 – 8 months: Sphenoid (red) is made up of 4 bones; 2 bones in the middle section (pre and post sphenoid) join together to form 1 bone (sphenoid body) · 8 – 9 months: Temporal (brown) the tympanic (incomplete) ring forms joining the upper curved section (squama) in the bone around the ear · 8 – 9 months: Maxilla (purple) the front part (pre-maxilla) joins the back part (maxilla) in the palate Premature babies may have sensitivities in these areas as the bones may have not completely formed at birth. 1�� ‐ 2ⁿ� Year · 8 – 12 months: Sphenoid (red) - the middle section (body) joins the side parts (wings) at the side to form 1 bone · 8 – 12 months: Temporal (brown) - the back section (petro-mastoid) joins the upper curved section (squama) · 0 – 2 years: Ethmoid (yellow behind nose) - vertical (plate), lateral (masses) and top (crista galli) parts join together The membranes in the head (meninges) have strong attachments on the ethmoid (yellow), sphenoid (red), temporal (brown), parietal (green) and occiput (blue); membranous tension can potentially affect the position of these bones.

2ⁿ� – 5�� Year · 2 – 5 years: Occiput (blue) – is made up of 4 bones surrounding the spinal cord; the back (squama) parts join the side parts (condylar parts) to form 1 bone; the front (basilar) part is still separate · 2 – 4 years: Atlas (1�� neck vertebra) - the side and back parts join together · 4 – 7 years: Frontal (orange) – the less obvious vertical (metopic) suture in the middle forehead joins together 5�� – 8�� Year · 4 – 7 years: Frontal (orange) – the less obvious vertical (metopic) suture in the middle forehead joins together · 5 – 8 years: Atlas (1�� neck vertebra) - the side and front parts join together · 6 – 8 years: Occiput (blue) – the front (basilar) part joins the already joined the back (squama) and side (condylar) parts to form 1 bone · 6 – 8 years: Sacrum (triangular bone in pelvis at base of spine) – the top 2 joints (vertebrae) join together 15�� – 25�� Year the following are fully formed and joined · 15 – 25 years: Sternum (breast bone) · 19 – 25 years: Occiput (blue) and Sphenoid (red) join in the centre of the head (SBS) · 20 – 25 years: Acetabulum (hip socket) and Sacrum Osteopathic treatment encourages the body to adopt the best position of its structure to be able to perform its functions optimally. Osteopaths are trained to feel the movements and flows in the body structures and systems and to help guide them to better function. We are happy to advise you on your health matters and offer a free 15 minute joint and spinal check, without obligation.

The sphenoid (red) connects to other bones in 26 places and has most of the cranial nerves passing through it; it also has the main glandular centres controlling sleep, appetite, behaviour, etc. sitting in the middle part (the body); it forms the back of the eye socket. The area at the base of the skull where the occiput (blue) joins the temporal (brown) forms a hole (jugular foramen) that is home to important cranial nerves to do with digestion (vagus), neck muscles and swallowing. Think about the many bangs and falls kids can tend to have on their heads and bottoms from this age onwards. It is also incredible to consider how long we continue to grow into our bodies.

Local News

Lido update £104,000 Needed from Local Residents To Unlock £4 million from The Lottery Dear residents of the Deans, Saving Saltdean Lido’s pools and building has always been about preserving our heritage and providing much-needed leisure and community facilities in the area.

(If you are self-employed or own a business then you can offset your pledge against tax.) There’s never been a magic money tree for the lido and it’s down to people who care about it. This is it! Please send a cheque payable to Saltdean Lido Trust (Charity number 1173503) to Saltdean Lido Trust, Saltdean Lido, Park Road, Brighton BN2 8SP

Opening the marvellous new pools last summer was phase one of our project and cost some £3 million.

Or you can pledge online at www.spacehive.com/saltdean-lido

Phase two is the restoration of the building. The Lottery has set aside £4 million towards this. However, it has said that our community needs to contribute too.

Please feel free to call us direct to discuss or email info@saltdeanlido.co.uk

And so we now have to raise £104,000 from local residents and businesses by mid-June which is when the lottery committee next meets. If we don’t reach this target then the lottery money will go away forever and we won’t be able to proceed with phase two. This would be a real blow for the area and would see the building boarded up and continue to be an eyesore that blights rather than benefits our community. The library and community centre housed within the building will both close.

We can do it if we all contribute. Please please help us restore the lido building to its former glory. Come on we can do it! Bridget Fishleigh and Deryck Chester – lido volunteers. 07946 342 903 www.saltdeanlido.org

The future of the pools will also be in doubt as they cannot survive without revenue from a heritage café, rooms for hire and events in a revamped building So far, our crowdfunding campaign has raised some £20,000 (in online pledges and cheques), we have another eight weeks to reach our target. We are therefore asking local residents to please show their support by pledging money. This is a promise to pay. If we don’t reach the £104,000 target then the lottery money will go away and we won’t need to draw the money down from you.

Friends of Beacon Hill

Beacon Hill Nature Reserve Finally Spring has sprung after a seemingly longer and colder winter than usual. The sheep are merrily munching their way across the Nature Reserve after a slightly weather-delayed start. Usually we move the sheep between adjoining sections but the transition from the north sector to the south meant ‘leap-frogging’ the middle section. This led to all sorts of high jinks, very reminiscent of the movie Blazing Saddles. Picture this, the high plains of Wyoming AKA Beacon Hill, a herd of cattle AKA sheep, 6 cowboys AKA our volunteers, Head Herdsman AKA Emma our Ranger and Chief Rancher AKA Shepherd Sam. As usual the sheep were corralled into a corner section of their original plot. The remaining electric fences were taken down then and re-assembled around the new section. After a nod from Head Herdsman the sheep were released with the aim of being guided along the bridleway to the new section. Easy enough I hear you say ….. think again … The fleeced beasts took one look at the fresh new grass on the mid-section and took it upon themselves to spread out and chew. Luckily for us the Chief Rancher on his quad bike along with his trusty sheep dog had done this many times before and the few errant sheep were quickly rounded up and guided into their new patch. After a rousing chorus of Home Home on the Range, the batteries were connected to the new fence and we left our herd to do what they do best, eat the thick grass and bramble shoots to enable the delicate wild flowers to flourish. Any new ragwort popping their heads above the parapet should also be nibbled away ensuring a lesser showing of this invasive weed. This was by far the most exciting sheep move we’ve seen but I think going forward we will be moving between adjoining sections rather than one end of the reserve to A very contented lamb at Beacon Hill

the other. A big thank you to Sam for controlling the flock. We are currently headed into the woods, a quarter of the steps at the Court Ord Road have now been replaced with sturdier ones and we are working on reinforcing the path edges that have been disturbed over the winter months. Ivy ringing will take place for those that want lighter work. Come along to join in the fun and experience the feel good factor of working outdoors. We meet 2ⁿ� Wednesday and 4�� Friday of each month at 10AM at the Beacon Hub Cafe Kiosk. Tools are provided but please wear sturdy shoes/boots/gloves and if you have secateurs bring them along. If you would like further information we can be found at :E-mail : FOBeaconHill@gmail.com Telephone : 01273 983000 Facebook : www.facebook.com/beaconhillrottingdean

There’s Nothing Rotten about “Rotting”dean

In the summer of 1988 residents of Rottingdean were furious over a colour advertisement that ICI ‘s advertising agency placed in the Sunday Express Magazine to promote their wood preservative.

It showed a signpost, one beautifully preserved finger pointing to Goodwood and the other, rather shabby and untreated, pointing to Rottingdean. It was quite a clever pun on two Sussex place names but it caused a lot of angry correspondence from the piqued residents of Rottingdean.

However, by way of making amends, Dulux provided a gift of material to treat the mill exterior. Then in December, Lord March of Goodwood House joined in the spirit. He did not want to profit at the expense of another village so offered some “good wood”……...a tree which could be felled and sawn into planks at a saw mill at his own expense towards the mill’s restoration. By July 1989 Rottingdean Preservation Society were able to write and thank Lord March that the tree concerned had been cut by Lilleywhite’s sawmill and some massive pieces installed at the top of the mill after being sawn and shaped by hand. Another amusing event was in 1992 when a “For Sale” sign went up on the Mill, advertising it as suitable for conversion to living accommodation. It was an April Fool’s joke to promote the 10�� Windmill walk and marathon which was to raise funds for new scout HQ. An earlier event in 1967 was the unveiling of the Heinemann plaque at the windmill. Their colophon, or logo, is a woodcut by artist William Nicolson purporting to show Rottingdean windmill so they kindly offered to supply an informative plaque about the mill. The unveiling ceremony took place fifty years ago and was extremely well organised but today there is something of “Dad’s Army” about the detailed arrangements.

Plan of stage

A scale diagram with exact measurements of the top tables was produced showing : Microphone arrangements (£4 run from car battery) A platform, barriers, flag poles, rail and curtain. The seating positions of the Mayor and Mayoress, Town Clerk and Borough Surveyor and their wives together with Mr & Mrs Dwye Evans representing Heinemann. After the speeches there were bouquets of roses for the Lady Mayoress and Mrs Evans. They were to be presented by “Mr Leach’s little girl” and “Mr Sloggett’s little girl,” having been earlier delivered to the home of Mrs Jones (National Velvet writer, Enid Bagnold!) The Mill has been popular with many stars of stage and screen including Audrey Hepburn (pictured)

Rottingdean Windmill is maintained by Rottingdean Preservation Society and is open free of charge from 2 -4.30 pm on the following dates in 2018. Weekends 6th and 7th, 13th and 14th, 20th and 21st, 27th and 28th May Sun 18�� June

Neighbourhood Watch

Paws on Watch Dog walkers we need your help! Paws on Watch is a scheme which was successfully introduced in the Lewes district about 18 months ago. The intention is that dog walkers, who are out and about in the community on a regular basis at different times of the day, provide extra eyes and ears and pass on any information to the Council or the Police about anti -social behaviour, dog fouling, fly tipping, abandoned cars and in fact anything suspicious or unusual they notice happening in their area. The people who sign up to the scheme are not expected to challenge groups or individuals but to pass on the information for action by the respective authorities or to NHW. We are seriously looking into the possibility of introducing this project in our area. As a dog walker, and there are many in Saltdean, Rottingdean & Ovingdean, your help could be invaluable. We are lucky to live in a low crime rate area but with extra

eyes and ears on the ground this could be reduced even more! There is still a lot of ground work to cover before we can officially set up this scheme and before starting the ball rolling we really need to know how many of our dog walkers would be interested in volunteering to find out more about the scheme. At our recent AGM the Police Inspector for Lewes was very positive about the initiative. We would love to have your thoughts and ideas so please contact us to register your possible interest and once we finalise details we will then be in a better position to give more information. For information about Neighbourhood Watch please contact Secretary Linda Hood 01273 306441 email: nhw.sro-sec@hotmail.co.uk Web: www.saltdeanrottingdeanovingdeannhw.co.uk Follow us on Twitter: @NhwSRO facebook: Saltdeannhw

Local Article

What is Equity Release? Equity Release refers to a range of financial products that allow you to access the equity (cash) tied up in your home if you are over the age of 55 (although noting they are not normally recommended until 65+). You can normally have the money you release as a lump sum or in several smaller amounts, or as a combination of both, without having to make any monthly repayments and also whilst remaining in your home. There are two main Equity Release options: 1. Lifetime Mortgage: you take out a mortgage secured on your property provided it is your main residence, while retaining ownership. The loan amount and any accrued interest is paid back when you die or when you move into long-term care. 2. Home Reversion: you sell part, or all, of your home to a Home Reversion provider in return for a lump sum or regular payments. You have the right to continue living in the property until you die, or you move into long-term care, when your property is sold and the sale proceeds are shared according to the proportions of ownership. Things you need to know about Equity Release: Equity Release might seem like a good idea, however: ● It should normally be seen as a product of last resort. ● Can be expensive when compared to other forms of finance. ● You may have to pay upfront fees, depending on the plan being arranged. ● Although they have no fixed ‘term’, they must be cleared upon your death or earlier if you move into long-term care. ● They will only provide you with a percentage of the market value of your home. ● If you release equity from your home, you might not be able to rely on your property for money you may need later in life. For instance, to pay for longterm care or to supplement your ongoing retirement income. ● May stop you from moving in the future, without reducing or clearing your Equity Release. ● Might affect your entitlement to future state benefits. ● There will be less for you to pass onto your family as an inheritance. ● Schemes can be complicated and very difficult to unravel. For example; although may not be applicable if you die or move into long-term care, there

might be expensive early repayment charges if you change your mind and wish to clear your plan. Getting Advice: If you are thinking of taking out an Equity Release plan then you need to find out about your various options and weigh up the advantages and disadvantages before you decide to proceed. An Equity Release qualified Financial Adviser can help you understand the steps involved and talk you through your options and the effects this might have on state benefits.

Cinema Saltdean Film Review

Dunkirk

Cert. 12

Intelligent and Visceral Christopher Nolan is a film maker who doesn’t like CGI (Computer Generated Images). He does things oldschool, real, without visual trickery. This approach and his intelligent storytelling ability have brought doses of reality to films such as ‘Interstellar’, the ‘Batman’ trilogy and ‘Inception’, to name a few. In ‘Dunkirk’ water is water, Spitfires are real Spitfires (supplied by the Imperial War Museum in Duxford). Nolan’s insistence on the ‘real’ gives Dunkirk a visceral edge. To remind ourselves: It is May 1940. 400,000 men trapped on the beach at Dunkirk. The Expeditionary Force in retreat, beaten back by German troops. There were 350,000 British soldiers, the rest were allied troops from France and Belgium. The German tanks stopped firing because it was considered a waste of German resources. As a line from the film runs, ‘why use tanks, when they can pick us off from the air? The film is not about battle: the battle is over, a few minutes into the film. It is about the rescue. The sights and sounds of battle are, however, upon us at the outset. We see a squaddie Tommy (Fionn Whitehead ‘The Children Act’) scrambling through Dunkirk streets, under heavy fire. On making it to the beach, he is confronted by a panorama of hundreds of thousands of troops waiting on the sand. Corpses are being buried there. No ships to rescue them and no air cover to prevent them from being picked off. ‘Dunkirk’ tells the story from three perspectives: land, sea and air. Three connecting stories: one lasting a week, one lasting a day, and the third, one hour, which all interconnect to bring different layers of tension to the story.

across a channel under siege from both the enemy and unpredictable natural elements. Sailing in terrifying circumstances and demonstrating acts of compassion, duty and kindness, they exemplify the Dunkirk spirit. This is a story of bravery, terror and grim determination, in which, as the strapline of the film tells, ‘hope is a weapon’. The dogfight sequences are thrilling, the sea crossing in small boats is convincingly portrayed and the seemingly hopeless situation of the stranded men, brought vividly to life. It has a powerful cast, including Mark Rylance, (Bridge of Spies) Kenneth Branagh, (Murder on the Orient Express), Cillian Murphy (Peaky Blinders) and Tom Hardy (Taboo). The film scooped up three Oscars at this year’s ceremony. And Oscar treats continue next month, as we screen ‘3 Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri’ – a must see! Jon

Films about Dunkirk have the same outcomes: a bit like films about the Titanic - the ship always sinks. This version of Dunkirk is, however, no run-of-the-mill affair, not just another blood and guts war movie, thanks to the director’s deft touch. Christopher Nolan also wrote the screenplay. Described by The Guardian as Christopher Nolan’s best film, it is set on a massive scale. The outcome of momentous events is determined by individuals. In response to the plight of the men beached, the UK Government did not order a rescue task force: instead, they ordered all small craft owners to set sail for Dunkirk to rescue our troops. Memories about those small ships, sailing from Newhaven and other ports, are acutely alive today. Most of the boat owners were ‘weekend sailors’, woefully equipped to deal with the perilous journey To advertise call 01273 586527 or email info@deansmagazine.co.uk

The traditional Lions Fayre has been running in Rottingdean for well over forty years, and as a regular event has grown significantly in stature with it becoming one of the highlights of the summer season in Rottingdean. It is held on The Green and, as has always been the case, entry is free. Walking round the Fayre you will come across a book stall, bouncy castles and a coconut shy. You will find many other games and stalls along with a bar and the world famous - in Rottingdean at least - Lions barbeque. Swimathon winning fund raisers ‘Scor’ trophy presentation

Rottingdean Preservation Society

The Grange Gallery The month of May is a good time to visit the Grange Gallery, not only to look at the new exhibitions, but also, the café having reopened for the summer season, to sample the lunches and teas at the café amongst the spring flowers in the Grange garden.

Should you not yet be a member of the Rottingdean Preservation Society and would like to join us, please telephone 01273 301164 or email rpsmemsec@gmail.com.

MAY 3 – 29. Artists Open Houses: Wear and Tear. As part of the Brighton Festival in May artists and craft workers offer art lovers the chance to browse and buy original artwork direct from the artists and makers. This event also takes place in the run up to Christmas in December. This year we are featuring Johnny Clash, Re-Threaded, Jan Mnich, Christine Lloyd Walker, Liza Mackintosh, Tim Gwyther, Julian Bond, Rafaele Appleby, Ophelia Appleby, Pauline Crook, Oriana Evans, Elizabeth Lamont. The Grange Gallery is excited to bring together these twelve artists, many showing here for the first time, who have created work especially for this show with their very personal response to the theme of 'wear & tear'. The show is a fascinating mix of media from moving image to dramatic glass, mosaic art, photography, colourful watercolours, oil and acrylic painting. The Re-threaded group of textile artists interprets the theme using ' Boro' the traditional Japanese way of extending life to garments with pattern & stitches. Oriana Jewellery redesign used old keep sake pieces that would have once been discarded but tell now a story in re-imagined contemporary jewellery. MAY 31 - JUNE 12. Rob Upward and Friends. In Rob’s own words, “As before, during my five one-man exhibitions at The Grange over the past 10 years, I will again be showing mainly my acrylic landscapes and figurative paintings. However, this year, I decided that at least two of my friends should have their chance and so, with no small persuasion, they are joining me in the exhibition which opens at The Grange on May 29th for two weeks. Jim Pearson produces wonderfully delicate landscapes in water colour, while Alan Rawlings, working in oils, creates vivid wild-life images. He also sculpts animals and birds. Peter Ind, world acclaimed jazz double bass player, writer and artist, will be showing his pastels which have a luminous, impressionist quality. Four artists, four media, four different themes. 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

Myofascial Release Penny Koster, Holistic Pain Therapist 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

Local Charity

Time to Talk Befriending Time to Talk Befriending is a local Charity that helps older people who feel lonely, invisible and forgotten to “feel like they are living again” and “no longer feel trapped inside their own home”. Here is what one of our scheme members has said about what we do and her befriender: "Meeting my befriender and her son has transformed my life... [I] am not sure where this poem came from but when [I] read this poem it immediately reminded me of all the kindness and care [I] have received from the befriending service; Thank you for loving, for giving and sharing, thank you for listening, helping and caring; for all the wonderful things that you do, but most of all thank you for just being you!” – Scheme Member And this is what one of our amazing volunteers has said: “It’s been a very pleasant surprise that, while I knew that I would feel good sharing my time with my befriending match, I have been astonished at how much I learn every time I see her. It’s completely changed my opinion of older people and has changed the way I behave with people in the street too… I always make time for a chat with someone in
