START YOUR
CONVERSATIONS Leading charity Movember exists to help men live happier, healthier, longer lives - making a difference in mental health and suicide prevention, prostate cancer and testicular cancer. This year, more than ever, it’s important to be there for each other. Below is ALEC. ALEC stands for the 4 simple steps to start ‘Movember Conversations’ between friends, colleagues and family. It gives you the confidence to have conversations with the men in your life who might be struggling.
3. Encourage action
Help him focus on simple things that might improve how he feels. Is he getting enough sleep? Is he exercising and eating well? Suggest that he share how he’s feeling with others he trusts. This will make things easier for both of you. And if he’s felt low for more than two weeks, suggest that he chat to his doctor.
4. Check in
Follow up your conversation with a phone call, FaceTime or walk. This helps to show that you care; plus, you’ll get a feel for whether he’s feeling any better. To find out more information, get fundraising ideas and support, please visit uk.movember.com.
For immediate help & support:
SAMARITANS:
1. Ask
Start by asking how he’s feeling. Use a prompt like, “You haven’t seemed yourself lately – are you feeling OK?” Trust your instinct. Remember, people often say “I’m fine” when they’re not, so don’t be afraid to ask twice. You can use something specific you’ve noticed, like, “It’s just that you haven’t been replying to my texts, and that’s not like you.”
2. Listen
Give him your full attention. Let him know you’re hearing what he’s saying and you’re not judging. Ask a question like, “That can’t be easy – how long have you felt this way?”
Confidential support for people experiencing feelings of distress or despair or suicidal thoughts. Phone: 116 123 (free 24-hour helpline) www.samaritans.org.uk
CALM:
CALM is the Campaign Against Living Miserably, for men aged 15 to 35. Phone: 0800 58 58 58 (daily, 5pm to midnight) www.thecalmzone.net
MIND:
Promotes the views and needs of people with mental health problems. Phone: 0300 123 3393 (Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm) www.mind.org.uk

This walk circles the idyllic village of East Meon, starting at the historic 13th century All Saints church. The hike ends with a steep ascent near Butser Hill, the highest point in the South Downs National Park, for some sensational views. From the East Meon car park turn right onto Workhouse Lane and walk ahead towards the village. Come to a larger road and turn left onto the High Street, past the village store and then immediately left again on Church Street. Follow this past Ye Olde George Inn to the next T-intersection. Cross the road and follow the Churchyard trail to the back left-hand corner, where it enters a wooded area and climbs uphill. Pass through the gates in the field and continue on the trail directly ahead.
Once the trail levels out at the top, pause to enjoy the views. The next gate leads you onto a driveway. Turn left onto the drive, then right onto the road for 20m until you see a gate on your left. Pass through the gate and follow the clear trail across the fields, in the same direction, for just over 0.8km until you reach a farm, passing through five gates along the way. At the farm, cross the driveway and when you reach the road shortly afterwards, turn left. Follow the road until you reach Halnaker Lane. Turn right and when you reach the last house take the wide track into the woods on your left.
Continue on this quiet woodland trail for the next 2.4km until you reach a road. Cross the road with care and continue on the South Downs Way trail directly opposite, which climbs steeply uphill, for another 0.8km. Once the trail levels out at the top, pause to enjoy the views and then pass through the wooden gate on your left into the field. Walk ahead directly down the slope, then up the other side and out of the gate on the left-hand side. Walk across the top of this field and through the gate then take the steep downhill trail on your right. Turn left and follow the trail along the field edge, with the fence on your right. Follow the trail as it briefly enters the woods. Cross the stile on your left and then exit the woodland into another field. Follow the trail along the field edge. Pass through the metal gate in the left-hand corner and take the trail directly across a grassy field and out the gate on the other side, into a small private car park. Exit the car park and cross, then turn right to follow the footpath. When you reach the village store, turn left on Workhouse Lane to return to the car park or turn right to return to the Church and the two local pubs.
Beginner Distance: 8.5km Elevation: 140m Time: 2-3 Hours

New Alpaca keeper Wendy is a local Hayling Island resident, having lived on the Island all her life in the same house her father built. nails and what vitamins they need to help them through a cold winter. To fund the food for their bellies, Wendy sells the Alpaca droppings as ready-to-use fertiliser for £2 a bag, which can be collected from the field. Before Covid, Wendy had plans to offer the farm as a fun day out, offering Meet the Alpaca days, Alpaca walks along the shore and Alpaca Tea Parties in the newly built wood lodges in the field – which will also sell Alpaca souvenirs!
Wendy often passed a herd of Alpacas when visiting her daughter, who lives near the New Forest and admired what tremendous animals they were. Back in November 2019 and coming closer to retirement, Wendy decided to invest her savings in something more unusual – five Alpacas! Wendy’s five Alpacas, named Franklin, Harlequin, Gulliver, Hudson and Kookie are all male and range from 2-4 years old. They roam in her field opposite her house which she shares with her sister Anne. The field sits along West Lane heading towards West Town, turning left a few houses before Brights Lane.
These playful animals have a lot of love and happiness to share, even the local nursery comes to visit and feed them their favourite Pony Nuts! Wendy hopes that she can begin her Alpaca fun soon, but for now, invites you to pop by and admire these beautiful animals and their cheeky nature which really does bring a smile to anyone’s face. If you’d like more information, call 02392 468246 or 07794645388.
Friends Vanessa and Paul have taken the five four-legged friends under their wings too. Vanessa, who is an experienced horse keeper recently attended a three-day course in Worcester to learn about Alpacas and how to care for them, including what to feed them, how to shear their soft coats, clip their
