Bright ideas for life after retirement BRIGHTLIFE, the organisation set up to tackle loneliness amongst older people in Cheshire West and Chester, is launching a competition to make over £250,000 available to local people and community groups. The Bright Ideas Competition welcomes individuals and community organisations from across the region to pitch their ideas for projects and activities that could help to reduce the risk of social isolation in over-50s. Successful applicants will win a share of the £250,000 award money to turn their ideas into reality. “The Bright Ideas competition is a great way of making funding accessible to community-minded people and smaller organisations that might not apply through traditional routes,” says Commissioning Manager Adele Gatley, who is working in consultation with Brightlife’s Older People’s Alliance. “We are encouraging applications from any source, regardless of size, and working closely with Chester Voluntary Action to provide tailored packages of business support to applicants, giving them the best possible chance of securing funding for their ideas.” The Bright Ideas competition will be run over four rounds, with each round open for applications for nine weeks. Brightlife is holding a series of free information workshops for anyone interested in applying to the competition, held in various locations throughout Cheshire West and Chester during June and July. For more information about these workshops, call 01606 884444 or email commissioning@brightlifecheshire.org.uk.

Cloudy2Clear Windows – Service With A Smile! It’s been a crazy few months for Cloudy2Clear Windows. The company which specialises in repairing windows which are steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing the panes – not the frames has grown rapidly as homeowners take advantage of their services. Managing Director Alan Ball feels that it’s all about service. ‘Our product is simple. If your double glazing is misted up we can replace the glass at a fraction of the cost of a new window, in any type of frame, and with a new 5 year guarantee. But it’s not just about saving
people money, although that obviously helps. Many tradespeople have struggled since last year and I honestly feel that during the good times a minority perhaps didn’t focus on customer care as much as they should have done. We make sure we turn up when we say we will, do the job the customer requires and leave their house as clean as a whistle. I often get comments back from customers on how they really didn’t expect that sort of service which, in a way, is very sad for the service industry as a whole.’ Cloudy2Clear service Heswall & the surrounding area and
$ODQ LV ÀQGLQJ WKDW KLV approach is a major factor in his success. ‘The truth is that it’s not just the personal satisfaction that I get from doing a good job but also it makes good business sense. I get a huge amount of business from friends and family
of people I’ve done work for, which just goes to show how much a little bit of effort is appreciated.’ So, if your windows are steamed up, broken or damaged give Alan a call for a free quotation on 0800 61 21 118 and he’ll be happy to help!

Why put up with your window & door problems?.. …when we offer low cost window, door and conservatory repairs WindowGeeks is a local window & door repair expert. The company name says it all. But us 'Geeks' don't just fix windows, we are called out to mend problem front doors, patio doors and conservatories too. And with many homeowners battling with the extremes of good old british weather, we find our low-cost services are in high demand throughout the year. “Replacing misted-up or broken double glazed units and glass is only a small part of what we do,” says Ian, who runs WindowGeeks in the Chester & Wirral area. “We are often called out to fix a fair amount of draughty & leaking windows, helping our customers keep the warmth they're paying for inside. And, with the weather playing havoc with hardware, we’re kept busy fixing
lots of jammed or faulty window & door locks, hinges & handles too” “So, don’t just accept from anyone else that you need a brand new entire door or window” Ian adds, “as we can probably repair your existing problem for far less. And, in the rare event that we can’t fix it for you, then we can also give you a competitive price on a top quality replacement, so remember to call us first” Saving money gets most people's attention; whether it's helping to reduce energy bills or providing a simple repair that saves thousands over new double gazing. “But”, says Ian, “it's the company's reputation that makes us stand out, and it’s why most of our new customers are introduced to us through referrals”.
“This is my business, and it's one that's based on trust,” he says. “We will only charge you for what actually needs doing, and we always deliver on our promises. That's good old-fashioned customer service – nothing more – but it spreads fast through word-of-mouth.” We don’t employ salesmen and we provide free quotations with: x No call out charges, No minimum order values, No credit card charges x No deposits, 10 year manafacturer’s guarantee on all Glazed products x All quotes include VAT and Fitting, With NO HIDDEN EXTRAS

Legal Matters Legal column with Jackie Campion, Principal Solicitor at Campion Solicitorss
Living well after diagnosis of dementia A
DIAGNOSIS of dementia can come as a shock; this could be any type of dementia, such as Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease, vascular dementia or mixed dementia. It is a worrying and upsetting time for the person affected and for family members. However there is much that can be done in the early stages that can help to make life easier and more enjoyable, both now and in the future. If a person has dementia, it is important that they organise their legal and financial affairs whilst they are still able to do so.
There are a number of things that you can do to plan for your care in the future. z Make sure that your essential documents can be found easily. If your important documents such as Wills or property deeds are stored in a Solicitors or Bank make sure they can easily be obtained.
z You can decide if you would like to choose someone to manage your finances on your behalf if you are unable to in the future, or make decisions relating to your health and welfare.
z Other things you may wish to think about are putting your finances in order and getting a Will, or updating any previous Will. This allows you to state who you want to inherit your estate. z Advance decisions and advance statements ensure that your wishes are taken into account in the future. At Campion Solicitors we have specialist knowledge in all aspects of legal matters that can affect a person with dementia. All our initial interviews are free and without obligation to enable your to make a decision on how to proceed. Call Jackie Campion on 0151 342 9021 for a no obligation meeting.
For further information on this please contact Jackie Campion on 0151 342 9021 for a no obligation meeting.

High drama on the mountains HESWALL Round Tablers experienced the dangers of mountaineering when they took on the incredibly tough Three Peaks Challenge. Simon Sloan, Steve Tasker and Justin Wrench had to tackle the highest highest peaks in Scotland, England and Wales within 24 hours. They completed the first climb of Ben Nevis in the early hours of the morning before heading down to Scafell Pike in the Lake District, where Justin began to suffer. When they reached Snowdon Justin had what appeared to be a seizure and had to be airlifted to Bangor Hospital. Simon and Steve had planned to abandon the task to be with their friend but they were told by paramedics that he would recover so they continued to the top and eventually completed the challenge with an hour to spare. There was huge joy when Justin was there to meet them at the finish, having been released from hospital. He had suffered with severe dehydration having been ill the previous week. Simon said: “An amazing adventure was had by all, but it was a real eye opener to experience a mountain rescue and appreciate how even well trodden paths can present problems to trained, fit people. The lesson learnt is that nobody should take these mountain walks for granted - our team had all walked Snowdon a lot and expected an easy, gentle up and down, but it turned out to be anything but.” The team raised £1600 for Llanberis Mountain Rescue.

Hayley’s health and fitness
HEALTH AND FITNESS BLOG
I go to the gym but I’m not seeing results.
WHAT AM I DOING WRONG? I have many clients come to me after years of training in the gym claiming they go three times a week and still aren’t getting the results they wanted. To achieve results, you need three things; 1. Commitment 2. Hard work 3. A good diet. So if you think you’re doing the above why aren’t you getting your dream body. Firstly, commitment doesn’t stop at the gym, commitment is a life change rather than just three hours a week slog. This will mean changing lifestyle habits i.e.; taking the stairs, walking the shops, achieving your 10,000 steps per day etc. In reality you can’t expect out of all the hours in a week if you’re only active for three of these to see changes. Note down 1 change per week you want to do and stick to it! Number 2, hard work, what some people think is hard work others wouldn’t agree on. Hard work to a personal trainer is pushing you beyond your limits, it’s NOT doing ½ hour walk on treadmill, few bicep curls, few crunches, 30 sec plank and then going home. You need to go beyond what you usually do, choosing exercises that you don’t like (as these are usually the ones that you aren’t very good at!) getting your heart rate to about 85% of your max heart rate limit and changing your routines often so your body doesn’t get used to the work outs.
In reality I train people for 30 minute sessions, often they are so fatigued in this time that they can get what they need in only half the time! Meaning less time at a boring gym! Number 3 is a good diet, what you eat is key to your success. Going the gym then coming home to indulge in a takeaway isn’t going to get you where you want to be. People often think that a healthy diet includes fruit and veg and lots of it. Be careful with this as fruit and veg are carbs and although we need these in our diet we don’t need excessive amounts. Clients often choose smoothies thinking they are a healthy option when in fact the amount of sugars in some smoothies are equal to if not more than sugary ȱËËÊ ²½Å¶Ã¿²ÅºÇ¶Ä ²¿µ Äȶ¶ÅÄʇ ÁÅ ·Àà ¹º¸¹ ÁÃÀŶº¿ ·ÀÀµÄʁ ½¶²¿ ´¹º´¼¶¿ʁ ȱĹʁ nuts, eggs, quorn, cook with minimal oils and grill and steam food where ever possible.

BOOKS with LINGHAM’S BOOKSTORE, HESWALL
By Kerry Keight
Getting There If you have children of a certain age then you will certainly now be in the middle of exam season. Our son officially finished secondary education in May, but is still taking exams with only a couple left to go. Then it is the dreaded wait for results and University when all goes to plan! Whatever happens it is the beginning of another journey for our son and all the other school leavers starting out on the road to wherever they are going! I have to mention that our son’s revision guides have been by the educational publisher CGP and I wish that they had been around when I was taking my exams back in the day, they are, in the vernacular of our youth, “sound”! The guides cover all exams boards and are a fantastic resource for the student and parents! So remember the name! Oh and good luck!
Laura Dawes - Fighting Fit This is a thoroughly riveting read about how at the start of the war it was thought that as a nation we would be decimated because of epidemic diseases and ongoing mental health problems because of the psychological effects of wartime experiences. rationing and poor health care, not so. Due to the endless dedication of health workers not only did we emerge from WW2 literally fighting fit but these amazing people also paved the way for what we now call the NHS and the welfare state. (Released July in hardback)
Jean-Paul Didierlaurent - The Reader on the 6.27 Every day on the train to work (at a book-pulping factory...eeek!) Guylain reads to the other passengers from random pages he has managed to retrieve from “The Thing” (the book destroyer). This has been a huge bestseller in France and I believe it will be in the UK too. I will refrain from divulging too much as I do not want to spoil the story as it is only a short book, but it so full of quirky characters and side stories you will be thinking about them long after you finish it. Loved it, perfect summer read.
Jane Foster - Board Books for Children (various) I am a big fan of Jane Foster’s designs which appeal to my inner child and my love of primitive art. So I was thrilled to see that she had released these books which feature her wonderful illustrations. These gems are little pieces of art in themselves, I simply adore Black and White. They will definitely make great gifts for the next generation of readers! What’s on this month: z Helen Hancock the Illustrator for How to Look After your Human A dogs Guide will be sketching our canine friends on Saturday 9th July from 12noon. Wooftastic! z Jessie Burton (best seller of the Miniaturist) will be at Linghams 13th July 1pm signing her new book The Muse. Rumour has it she will be here for lunch, so call for a reserved table in TOAST, Heswall. z Tess Gerritsen will be at Linghams 21st July 1pm signing copies of “Playing with Fire”. z Lyn G Farrell “The Wacky Man” 28th July 6.30pm z Harry Potter fans: Saturday 30th July midnight opening to sell 0.01 on 31st July.

Wednesday 13th July Heswall Hall Cinema presents: Hail, Caesar (cert 12), 7.30-9.45pm. This 2016 film is a very funny, wacky, comedy drama from the Coen Brothers, set in 1950s Hollywood when the studios were in their heyday.
