Our Magazines: The Directories:

Dear Readers, Can you believe that October is over already? We can’t! Either way, welcome to the November edition of the directory! While the autumn nights get crisper & you finish off the last of those leftover Halloween sweets, make sure you get cosy, put your feet up & enjoy what we have for you to read inside this edition. November signifies the start of millions growing moustaches to fundraise for Movember, a charity dedicated to helping with men’s suicide prevention, prostate cancer and testicular cancer. For more information, visit uk.movember.com. It also marks the time of year for Remembrance Day, the anniversary of the end of World War I and the day to commemorate Those who died then and since, whilst serving our country. Please check our website and our social media accounts for more information on your local Remembrance Sunday events. Furthermore, enjoy our article on The Final Straw, a local charity working with our communities and businesses to help highlight and combat the impact of plastic pollution on local environments Also inside, find all our other articles, as well as our Find Barney competition! Search to see if you can find him on four of our pages, and you will be in with a chance of winning a £50 cash prize. And of course, find hundreds of fantastic local businesses advertising their excellent services. As always, thank you for supporting local business, and we hope you have a brilliant November. Denise Lloyd, Managing Director

“In Flanders’ fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place: and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie in Flanders’ fields” - Extract from ‘In Flanders’ Fields’, by John McCrae

SUPPORTING MEN’S MENTAL & PHYSICAL HEALTH AND SUICIDE PREVENTION

HOW WE ARE GOING TO WIN THIS FIGHT: Helping men and boys to stay mentally healthy, build strong social connections and take action early to help work towards a world where men are comfortable with these hard conversations. We know the needs of men, and we’re working to make sure that services are designed with those needs in mind while sharing any knowledge globally that we find works. Men need to be able to access support in their communities and where they’re comfortable.

Did you know, globally, one man dies by suicide every minute of every day? Our fathers, brothers, partners, and friends face a health crisis - and we cannot afford to stay silent. Movember’s purpose focuses on mental health through a male lens, concentrating on prevention, early intervention and health prevention. Help us unite experts, fund bold new approaches and embrace fresh perspectives to help fight men’s mental health and reduce the rate of male suicides by 25% by 2030.

THERE’S NO ONE-SIZE-FITS-ALL SOLUTION. Get involved by donating or fundraising to help us win this fight against men’s mental health - more information at uk.movember.com/donate.

Winter can be a difficult time for everyone – especially the many families around us who struggle on a daily basis of ensuring their families have enough to eat.

A reverse advent calendar is perfect to do as an individual, or as a family or group. What better way to demonstrate that you care this Winter…

With this in mind at The Directory Group we want to help… and we are hoping you would like to join in our quest to provide local families and food banks with food boxes this winter…

How to take part? Firstly you need to grab a basket or box, and every day leading up to Christmas, add something useful to the box. The idea is that you add 24 items just like an advent calendar. What to include? Tinned foods, including meats, pasta, rice, biscuits, snacks, UHT milk, baby formula, orange squash…basic staple foods to feed a family – (no fresh goods please)

Drop off your box to our office: Unit 1 Viceroy Court, Bedford Rd, Petersfield GU32 3LJ, or we can arrange to pick it up if you can’t get to us. Email james@thedirectorygroup.co.uk if you have any questions or call 01730 260746. We will then donate all the boxes to local food banks and families in need. Last drop off/collection date Friday 17th December.

Watch Out

CONS

The pros and cons of having a smartwatch on your wrist.

PROS

• Stimulating activity - As with anything you have to invest in financially, you don’t want to see that money go to waste, so just the physical act of purchasing one is a great first step to getting fit. • Maintaining activity - With a device that offers instant updates and reports on activity, there is an addictive element to exercise that’s both inspiring and healthy. • Syncing - The ability to sync the results with a phone or computer is very useful, enabling the user to build a whole profile of their performance. • The height of tech - From measuring your step count each day and managing your health, including your heart rate, to keeping up-to-date with news, messages from work or friends; from checking the weather to listening to music and even setting it up as a mobile wallet, this tiny gadget is a modern-day wonder available at the flick of a wrist.

• Bad Bluetooth - Unless you have a smartwatch SIM, then many of the features you may rely on will not work unless you are within around 300ft of a connected phone or other device. • Inaccuracies Don’t rely solely on a smartphone for measuring your heart rate, or boasting about that PB – it is susceptible to errors. • It makes you permanently on call - Those times when our phones are charging or away from our pocket can sometimes feel like bliss, yet a smartwatch can put you at risk of always being ‘on call’. • Distracting - If you’re on a journey, particularly when driving, it may be best for you to remove the smartwatch from your wrist and concentrate on reaching your destination.

Beach cleaning in action with the Final Straw Foundation Local charity the Final Straw Foundation, has been busy cleaning up local beaches, parks and public areas over recent months. The charity organises public beach cleans from Southampton to Worthing and cleanups with schools and businesses. Since lockdown lifted in June earlier this year, nearly 500 volunteers have helped to remove a whopping 2,200kgs of rubbish from local shores and countryside. The team at the charity say that they have lots of repeat volunteers as well as people who just make it along occasionally when they can. Founder Bianca Carr is thrilled by the response from volunteers since

the charity started. “We get a hugely diverse range of people that come along to our clean-ups, people of all ages and backgrounds. We’ve noticed a renewed enthusiasm since lockdown lifted, perhaps because, during the pandemic, people have realised how important our beautiful coastline and countryside is for our mental health too.

“We get a hugely diverse range of people that come along to our clean-ups, people of all ages and backgrounds.” The amount we have removed in the last few months is astonishing and shows how even when beaches often look relatively clean, there is a huge amount of rubbish scattered along them. We are so grateful to all our volunteers; they are all helping to make a difference to our local environment as well as contributing to the wonderful sense of community that goes with it.” If you are interested in joining a beach or community clean-up, please visit the Final Straw Foundation website, www.finalstrawfoundation.org.

Final Straw Foundation CIO is a registered UK charity that is working with businesses, communities and schools to raise awareness of plastic pollution in our oceans and land environment.

We look back on the release of Harry Potter We look back on the release of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, 20 years ago.

and the Philosopher’s Stone, 20 years ago. It’s two decades since one of the most sought-after movies in the modern era filled cinemas, reassured millions of avid fans of fantasy fiction that a character on a big screen really could live up to the image portrayed in literature, and scored Warner Bros. the first of seven wickedly wonderful wizard box office smashes. The distributor had bought the rights to JK Rowling’s first novel, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, for a cool £1m two years previously, quickly setting to work with director Chris Columbus and screenwriter Steve Kloves to make good a character who had

enchanted fans on both sides of the Atlantic. The movie opened in the UK on 10th November 2001 and would go on to gross over £900m in becoming the second most successful movie of all time. The revolution that followed single parent JK Rowling in the publishing world – to date over 500 million copies have been sold worldwide – is actually put in the shadow, if that is possible, by the success of the movie franchise. The Warner-headed outlay in lead stars Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, and a whole host of supporting icons, such as Robbie Coltrane, John Hurt and
