British Pie Week Whether it’s a savoury, dessert, crumble, pasty or even a pizza pie – us Brits are a Nation of Pie Lovers. The first week of March is #BritishPieWeek, so you can get a full week of trying and tasting different pie recipes like this classic and easy Steak Pie!
Ingredients: 3 tbsp sunflower oil 1kg braising steak, diced 2 onions, roughly chopped 3 tbsp plain flour 1 tbsp tomato ketchup 2 beef stock cubes mixed with 600ml boiling water 375g sheet of ready-rolled puff pastry 1 egg yolk, beaten
To make the filling, heat the oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Heat half the oil in a large casserole dish, brown the meat really well in batches, then set aside. Add the onions adding a drizzle more oil, then cook on a low heat for 5 mins until coloured. Scatter over the flour, stirring until the flour turns brown. Tip the meat and any juices back into the pan along with the ketchup and give it all a good stir. Pour over the stock, season, and bring to a simmer then cover with a lid and put in the oven for about 2 hrs, until the meat is tender. To make the pie, heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Tip the filling into a 24-26cm rimmed pie dish and brush the rim of the dish with some yolk. Unravel the pastry, drape over the dish and use a knife to trim and press the edges against the side of the dish. Re-roll your trimmings to make a decoration if you like. Brush the pie heavily with egg yolk. Make a few little slits in the centre of the pie and bake for 40 mins until golden. Leave to stand for a few minutes before serving.

Meet Final Straw Foundation, the local charity combatting the impact of plastic pollution The Final Straw Foundation is a growing environmental charity operating in the Solent area and along the south coast. The charity focusses on combating the impact of plastic pollution on our local seas and countryside, through organised beach cleans, education and events.
getting out in small groups when permitted, as well as doing individual clean ups and moving their educational resources online for teachers and students to access. They are hopeful that 2021 will mark a return to beach cleaning in bigger groups and starting to visit schools again.
Founder Bianca Carr is proud of how far the charity has come since it started as a small volunteer group in early 2018. “In 2019 we reached over 70,000 school children with our outreach programme, teaching them about the importance of looking after our local environment, not littering and trying to avoid single-use plastic wherever possible.
Bianca is keen to get going, continuing, “The pandemic has brought with it a glut of new plastic pollution in the form of discarded PPE, which we are seeing washed up on beaches and all around our streets and countryside. We are itching to get back out there to start cleaning up, whilst at the same time encouraging people to be really careful about dropping litter which may get washed out to sea and harm wildlife.”
“We had nearly 2,000 amazing volunteers attend our beach cleans, removing an astonishing 16,682kg of litter and larger rubbish from our local shores.” When the pandemic hit in 2020, it unfortunately meant that organised beach cleans and the schools outreach programme had to be put on hold. However, the team has been busy
The charity is always looking for volunteers, business supporters and collaborations - to find out more and support their work, please visit: finalstrawfoundation.org Registered Charity number 1191500.

How a nut-hunting squirrel can help children to open up about their silent worries Local author, Matthew A. Scott, talks to The Directory about the recent release of his successful debut children’s storybook – Cyril Squirrel and the Wonderfully Worrisome Task. We are giving away two signed copies of this heartfelt tale of courage and friendship – simply head over to our social media pages (@thedirectorygroup) to see how you could win!
Matthew, who lives with his wife, Celine, in Southsea says that it is his fond childhood memories, love of nature and an avid passion for gardening that inspire his stories. Mathew explains “My story ideas come from the nooks and crannies in the memories of my mind. This first book in my first series of nature stories is about Cyril, a young squirrel on a mission to collect nuts for his family. I have wonderfully fond memories of feeding nuts to squirrels with my mum when I was younger.
I designed the individual elements of story to include emotions that a multitude of youngsters can relate to. The storyline of my book, written back when the world was seemingly ‘normal’, is ultimately a tale of friendship but it also has underlying themes of anxiety, conflict, frustration and hopelessness running throughout. Every single child silently feels negative emotions at some point and won’t be sure why they feel the way they do or know how to deal with things. Now, in 2021, this precise moment in time where the coronavirus pandemic is adding to the list of thoughts going on in little people’s heads, I believe it is even more important to consider children’s mental health, encourage them to think about and share their worries and ensure they’re not afraid of asking for support.” The book is available to buy online from the publishers Austin Macauley, on Amazon, WH Smith, Waterstones and all good bookstores. Matthew’s second children’s book, Cupid Sparrow, a beautifully illustrated rhyming story, will be published later this year.

HOPE FOR HAVANT Everyone has been put through so much over the past year with restrictions, not seeing family and friends and even losing those we love. Amidst all the sadness, the pandemic has allowed us a few positives, the chance to renew our appreciation for the NHS and its amazing staff, our teachers who have kept our schools open throughout, our supermarket workers who have ensured we have had the supplies we need and every other key worker that has helped each of us to carry on going. We have seen volunteers coming out to help I’ve been witness to countless acts of selfless generosity, from simple check ins with elderly neighbours to donations made to our foodbanks those that need it most with shopping pickups, medical collections, vaccination support and often being a friendly voice on the end of the phone having that chat with someone who needs it. I’ve been witness to countless
acts of selfless generosity, from simple check ins with elderly neighbours to donations made to our foodbanks, community larders and community centres, who have all been a lifeline for so many. Many of us have had the chance to reassess our priorities, valuing our time spent with those we care for and the things we often take for granted. The past year has also seen environmental benefits with more of us exploring the great outdoors, the awareness of racial inequalities being talked about openly, mental health being discussed as it should be and the growing hope for a better society post lockdown. It’s really important that we are able to recognise and appreciate the good things we’ve re-discovered, learnt and want to keep working towards. We haven’t seen this level of community spirit and kindness across our neighbourhoods since war-time Britain. There is so much to be proud of and so many real life heroes that all make our community so special and a place I’m proud to call home. - By Prad Bains, Mayor of Havant Cllr Prad Bains
