The Power of Transforma ve Branding: A Designer’s

Perspec ve

Do you have a business idea? Do you want your business to make more impact? Tell a different story? Reach new people? Rachel Brunning, from the Aya Studio in East Preston, would like to hear from you.

From London via Singapore, Australia, Hove, to East Preston, where I now run my gorgeous graphic design studio. With over 25 years in design, I’ve had the privilege of helping businesses tell their stories through branding and packaging. I’ve worked with clients across diverse industries, cra ing visuals that resonate with their audiences and create meaningful connec ons. My journey in design has taught me that branding is far more than just a logo or colour pale e; it’s about shaping percep ons and inspiring loyalty.

A strong brand has the power to transform a business, se ng it apart in a crowded marketplace. From the way it looks to how it feels, every touchpoint of a brand should reflect its essence and values. Whether it’s

packaging that delights or visuals that tell a compelling story, the right branding can elevate a business, foster trust, and drive success.

But branding isn’t just a serious, strategic process — it’s also a deeply crea ve and enjoyable journey. I believe that collabora on and curiosity are at the heart of great design, and working with clients should be as exci ng as the final result. By making the process fun, we create not only impac ul visuals but also a las ng partnership built on shared passion and crea vity.

Branding is an adventure, and with the right guide, it can truly transform your business. Contact Rachel to see what a difference she can make: hello@theayastudio.com

Curriculum Enrichment

at East Preston Infant School

As 2025 begins and our new term starts, it is an ideal  me for us here at East Preston Infant School to reflect on the amazing start to the school year 2024‐2025. We truly believe that our curriculum offers every child the opportunity to experience new things, spark a passion for future learning and for them to be the best they can be. Here are a few Autumn term highlights!

We started the year by welcoming our newest Recep on pupils to EPIS. They se led well into their classes and have quickly become part of our school community. Recep on learning has been fast and furious with lots of new experiences being introduced, including phonics, maths mastery and Forest School. A highlight for our Recep on children was learning about space and celebra ons through the topic of ‘How to Catch a Star’. They role‐played a rocket launch and being thrust into space, as well as baking and decora ng a biscuit star in our food technology room, known as ‘Cooking Corner’. The year group celebrated harvest at St Mary’s church, sharing songs and poems in order to understand the importance of sharing and saying ‘thank you’.

Year One experienced a session from a pianist to support understanding of how a piano is played and sounds in a live performance, as well as visi ng the East Preston War memorial to explore how Remembrance Day was commemorated by the community. Their topic of ‘Whizz, Bang, Fizz!’ linked to fireworks and observing changes. During enrichment experiences at Forest School, children used their observa on skills to look at how plants and trees change over  me, including the effect of seasonal changes on leaves. They used ‘spo ers guides’ to iden fy common trees and their leaves and matched these to species names. They also started their longitudinal tree study by sketching their focus tree to show its shape and leaf coverage, introducing and using the term ‘deciduous’.

Our eldest children have enjoyed becoming the ‘top’ of the school and taking on the responsibili es that Year Two holds. They have been busy during lunch mes being table monitors for their Year One friends, completed learning at Beach School as well as elec ng the four new School Council Leaders and ge ng stuck into their new roles. History has been a main curriculum driver for the Autumn term in their ‘Lighthouses and Storms’ topic. Alongside finding out about significant historical events and individuals that have contributed to na onal achievements such as Grace Darling, they looked at the work of modern‐day lifesavers, such as the RNLI and Coastguard teams. The children enjoyed the Coastguard team’s visit, where they saw the range of equipment needed in order to help rescue people who get into difficul es in and around waterways. Most importantly, they learned how to float like a starfish if they were to dri   out to sea and how to call 999 for help.

Wider enrichment highlights across the whole school have included: Wearing our own socks on Odd Socks Day to highlight diversity for An ‐Bullying Week; suppor ng Children in Need by wearing our own clothes; holding our whole school Remembrance Service; year group visits to a local care homes (Green Willow, White Lodge and Rus ngton Hall) taking  me to connect, sharing stories and songs; celebra ng Christmas with na vity plays from the children to parents and carers; visi ng Our Lady Star of the Sea Catholic Church for a Christmas service; enjoying Christmas lunch, par es and The Rainbow Theatre’s pantomime of Cinderella. We have had an amazing Autumn Term and cannot wait to see all of the learning take place that is planned for the Spring Term. Finally, our school community would like to wish all of East Preston a very happy 2025!

Autumn Term at East Preston Juniors

Like always, the autumn term saw plenty of spor ng engagement among pupils at East Preston Junior School. Everything contributes to the whole school ethos of our WELL objec ves: involvement in sport – whether compe ve, for fitness, or just fun – is part of the development of Well‐being, Enjoyment, Lifelong par cipa on and Life skills.

One of the first events each academic year is the locality cross‐country event: The Angmering Mile.

EPJS is always a large par cipant in this compe on held at The Angmering School, and this year was no different with almost 100 par cipants making up “The Mighty Oaks”. Several individuals from EPJS took medal posi ons, with every par cipant contribu ng towards the success of the whole team.

Over the course of the term, several matches were played against local schools in football and netball, with fixtures held again at The Angmering School. These regular clashes allow for several children to don an EP shirt for a match against nearby schools – with some great successes and some tough compe on!

In addi on, a team of eleven Year 6 boys a ended a county‐wide football tournament finals in early December. While the top posi ons sadly eluded them, the team performed strongly in front of a large crowd.

A broad spor ng offer contains more than football and netball, though. In just over the one term, children a ended events in a whole host of ac vi es.

Two teams made up of Year 3 and 4 pupils went to a local basketball tournament, playing against six other teams. Both teams performed with enthusiasm, with the EPJS 2 team winning both their semi‐final and then the final to win the tournament overall.

A number of small teams of Year 6s also represented the school at Boccia – having had plenty of prac ce from their early morning club at school. Boccia is a precision ball sport – similar to bowls, and a Paralympic sport, which can be played seated. All three teams performed well, with one team taking the lead overall.

Keen to ensure that everyone gets an opportunity to compete, the school also held its annual mul ‐skills tournament in November. This is a chance for every child in the school to earn points for his or her house, comple ng skills from a range of sports. With ac vi es led by the Sports Leaders from The Angmering School, a house won from each year group, with the Normans house as overall winners. The scores from each team then also contribute towards the whole locality compe on.

The final event of the term took us back to the cross‐country mile – but with a twist. This  me, the event took the form of the Santa Dash, with compe tors earning points for their teams, while also having plenty of fun in costume!

Students Race Across the UK

to Support Sports Leadership

A group of dedicated sports students from the Angmering School Sixth Form embarked on an impressive challenge, cycling the equivalent of 600 miles across the UK on exercise bikes. Their goal? To race the distance from John O’Groats to Lands End to raise funds for their Sports Leadership Qualifica on.

The ini a ve was more than just a physical feat it was an opportunity for these students to build valuable leadership skills that they plan to share with their school community.

The students are eager to use the funds to support the extracurricular sports program, with the aim of offering addi onal clubs and coaching to younger students.

As the challenge unfolded, the sense of community and teamwork was palpable. The students are not only working towards their personal goals but are also commi ed to making a posi ve impact on the wider school environment. Their ambi on to support the extracurricular program is driven by the belief that ac ve par cipa on in sports can help shape the personal development and well‐being of students, both in and out of the classroom.

If you would like to help the students achieve their goals and further support their school’s sports program, you can donate via GoFundMe at www.gofundme.com/race‐across‐the‐uk. Your generosity will help provide new opportuni es for the younger genera on to engage in sport, develop their leadership skills, and stay ac ve.

Dance Live! Annual Danceathon Raises Funds for February’s Compe on

The Dance Team successfully completed their annual 12‐hour Danceathon in early December, raising funds for their entry into the upcoming Dance Live compe on in February.

Students from all year groups par cipated, embracing a variety of dance styles throughout

the day. One of the event’s highlights was the “Strictly Danceathon” compe on, a thrilling showcase of the students’ talent, passion, and dedica on.

This year’s Dance Live theme is a crea ve reimagining of Beetlejuice, with students dedica ng themselves to hours of rehearsals to bring their vision to life. The compe on is a unique experience, combining dance and various aspects of produc on, including ligh ng, stage crew, costume design and video edi ng. We look forward to seeing the finished product!

Boys Dance Group Shines at The University of Chichester Showcase

The Boys Dance group recently performed at the Boys Pla orm at The University of Chichester, a pres gious event that highlighted their excep onal talent and passion for dance.

This showcase is an invaluable experience, embracing par cipants of all ages and skill levels, and fostering an inclusive environment for crea vity and expression. It was a wonderful opportunity for these young dancers to embrace their crea vity in a suppor ve and inspiring atmosphere.

This event not only celebrated the boy’s talent while highligh ng the importance of collabora on and the power of dance in bringing people together.

What is Wealth?

Richard Cohen, FPFS ACII MCSI Chartered Financial Planner

Wealth o en evokes images of luxury cars, sprawling estates and overflowing bank accounts, but the true essence of wealth extends far beyond material possessions. At its core, wealth is about security, freedom and the ability to live a life aligned with your values. Whether you are a millionaire, middle‐income earner or just striving to make ends meet, wealth is a deeply personal concept that reflects more than just financial abundance. For high‐net‐worth individuals, wealth could be about preserving and growing assets to support genera onal goals or personal endeavours. For middle‐income earners, it might mean paying down debt, securing homeownership or saving for re rement. For those facing financial hardship, wealth can manifest as stability, a roof over one’s head, food on the table and the comfort of knowing emergencies can be managed and paid for. Whatever your situa on, the first port of call is understanding what you actually have in the first place. Across all financial scenarios and situa ons, wealth can be an emo onal trigger. It’s the peace of mind that comes with financial literacy, the joy of suppor ng loved ones and the freedom to pursue passions without fear of running out of money. A holis c view of wealth considers health, rela onships and personal growth as equally significant components to that of just having cash in the bank. This is where a financial adviser becomes invaluable. Regardless of your financial situa on, a professional adviser provides clarity. For affluent individuals, advisers can op mise investment strategies, tax planning and estate considera ons. For middle‐income families, advisers create prac cal roadmaps for achieving financial milestones. For those struggling financially, advisers can offer guidance on budge ng, debt management and ul mately building a safety net for the future.

Wealth, a er all, is not just about having more; it’s about having enough for what truly ma ers.

Arun Furnishers closes its doors a er 25 years

Twenty‐five years ago, Simon and Julie took the plunge and purchased Arun Furnishers in Beach Road, Li lehampton. Simon has been in the furniture industry most of his working life and Julie in accounts, so they were very confident that between them it would be a good move and they could make a success of it; they certainly did but have now decided that the me is right to re re and move to the next chapter of their lives.

Arun Furnishers has been a big part of their life for so long; however, by retiring now they will hopefully be able to spend many years having extended stays with their family in Australia and enjoy lots of quality time with their young grandchildren. They are looking forward to all those school concerts and cheering them on at their soccer matches with the rest of the grandparents!

Over the last 25 years they have seen the world and our High Street change immeasurably but have been lucky enough to have met many of the lovely people of Littlehampton and beyond, it is amazing how far some of their customers have travelled to come and see them. The loyalty and support over the years has been very touching and they have made many “friends” who frequently call in for a chat and a catch up on life. They have always believed that “good old‐fashioned service” is very important and know this has been one of the main reasons why they have had such continuous success.

They will be having a RETIREMENT SALE to clear all the stock from the showroom, including sofas, chairs, beds, headboards, bedroom furniture and lounge furniture. The sale will begin on Monday 3rd February at 10am and run until the end of March or earlier if all the stock has gone!

In the meantime, or even when the sale is on, if you have been meaning to order something there is still time as they will be around until every order has been fulfilled and delivered. Even if you do not need to buy or order anything, please feel free to pop in for a chat or just to say goodbye.

Finally, Simon and Julie would like to say a huge thank you to all their loyal customers who over the years have supported them and helped make the business what it is today. They are genuinely going to miss everyone and it will be a sad day when they finally close the doors for the last time but they are looking forward to an exciting retirement.

Back 2 Fitness Chiroprac c Clinic, Rus ngton by Chiropractor

and Owner Michelle Brennan

I have been a chiropractor for 23 years and my passion is helping people realise the poten al their body has to do more than just survive, it can thrive!

If you’re experiencing back pain, feeling older than your age or if you are looking for guidance on how to feel good, look good and move well, then chiroprac c might be what you are looking for.

I aspire to make a real difference to a pa ent’s life by relieving them of pain and enabling them to live their life to the full. I work to iden fy the cause of the pain and recommend a treatment plan to help achieve results and relief.

I realise that it’s not just about your pain though, it is about all the things that the pain prevents you from doing. For example, playing with your kids, going for a run, sleeping through the night or standing pain‐free at a party. To put it simply, back pain makes you feel old and it doesn’t have to be that way!

At Back 2 Fitness Chiroprac c Clinic we are here to help our clients move and feel be er through chiroprac c treatments, allowing them to get back to doing the things they love.

If you would like to make this your year and are interested in what Back 2 Fitness Chiroprac c Clinic may have to offer you, then call us on 01903 775577 to book your appointment.

We are based at 5B Churchill Court, 112 The Street, Rus ngton BN16 3DA. Please call 01903 775577 or visit www.back2fitness.biz

A Li le February Happiness

Nathalie Sansonetti BA, MA, DNN, Dip AIT

Nutritional Therapist & Health Coach, New Leaf Nutrition

T: 07980 620010 E: nathalie@newleafnutrition.co.uk W: newleafnutrition.co.uk

I’m si ng at my desk with a cup of dandelion tea, recalling what a friend recently said to me: “What is someone [like me] of Mediterranean descent doing in such dreary, dark climes?” Strangely, I don’t get affected by the weather. Or rather, I don’t let myself get affected by it. In fact, I try not to let many things affect my energy.

I would say the following points help to add a spring to my step through the winter (and the year):

 I eat what works for me 80‐90% of the me.

 I go outside and move every day.

 I rarely watch the news. I know what’s going on in the world and I help where I can, but I don’t need details. Knowing details won’t help me or the vic ms of crime, wars, famine etc.

 I try not to take things (and others’ opinions of me) personally because I know that their views come from their life‐baggage and have very li le to do with me.

 I accept fully that I have good and not‐so‐good days. I hibernate and recharge on the lower days.

 I meditate every day to balance my energy, give me peace and to connect with higher energy and my inner self.

 I find something/someone to laugh at or with every day.

 Similarly, I try not to take myself too seriously.

Isn’t February the perfect me to try new energy‐boos ng habits? What will you do to keep yours elevated?

The Joys of Solo Travel:

Discover the World on Your Terms by Hayley’s

Tailor‐Made Travel, East Preston

Solo travel offers an empowering way to explore at your own pace, indulge in your interests, and create unforge able memories. It’s not just for singles, it’s for anyone seeking freedom, adventure, or  me for self‐reflec on.

With its growing popularity, many tour operators now reduce or waive single supplements or organise group holidays for solo travellers tailored by age range, fitness and interest. There really is something for everyone. The world is more accessible than ever, opening doors to adventures for people from all walks of life.

Why Travel Solo?

1. Freedom and Flexibility: Your choice, your trip! You decide how long you spend at your favourite café, market, or museum.

2. Self‐Discovery: Time away from the usual rou ne lets you reflect on your goals and dreams. Solo trips o en leave you feeling more confident and self‐aware.

3. Mee ng New People: Travelling solo opens the door to mee ng locals and fellow travellers. Whether it’s over a shared dinner or a group tour, the connec ons you make can be so rewarding.

Ka e from Middleton‐on‐Sea travelled on a solo trip to Sri Lanka, read her trip highlights:

“I met amazing, like‐minded people and it was life‐changing! I quickly realised struggles are universal, and everyone’s journey is unique. My tour group was aged 30‐50 (mine: 33‐49), and a pre‐trip survey matched us with compa ble roommates based on habits like snoring, air‐con preferences, and morning rou nes. We bonded in a WhatsApp group before the trip and since returning three of us met in London for the weekend. I stay connected with the rest and cannot wait for my next adventure!”

Local Dental Implant Treatment Recognised at Na onal Awards Ceremony

by Cli on Wan, Associate Den st, Abbots Lodge Dental Prac ce

As den sts, we strive to achieve the best results possible and feasible for every pa ent. One of my favourite hobbies is learning more about den stry, new techniques, adapta ons of exis ng ones, new treatment philosophies and protocols.

This is so that when I see a pa ent, I can visualise all the available op ons that would be relevant or can be offered. We spend me assessing and planning treatment and have invested heavily in the best diagnos c tools to help support each decision made. There are mul ple op ons to treat most scenarios and it is rewarding to find the right mix of treatment modali es to suit an individual.

It is also rewarding to be recognised for your work! In 2024, I submi ed one of our dental implant and composite bonding cases to the Clinical Den stry Awards where the focus was on clinical excellence and treatment outcomes. Hundreds of submissions are made every year and are whi led down by a judging panel of leading dental professionals. A select few are shortlisted to be up for an award that was announced at a ceremony in October.

I entered one of my cases into the Dental Implants category.

Our lovely pa ent had unfortunately sustained a fall and fractured her front tooth which needed to be removed. We were able to place a dental implant at the same me as the tooth being removed and provided her with a new tooth on the same day! A er the healing period, this was replaced with a more resilient porcelain crown combined with some composite bonding to improve the shape and size of her other front teeth. It is only a er thorough examina on and discussion of all the available op ons that she

was able to decide on the treatment that best‐suited her needs and that could simultaneously solve some of the other issues she had with her smile. Our pa ent was delighted with the results!

The case was judged as one of the best in category and commended as a Finalist in the awards, which is of course a huge honour. Unfortunately, we did not win on the day but it’s reassuring to know our day to day prac ces stand shoulder to shoulder with the best in the country.

At Abbots Lodge and Ferring Dental Prac ces, we have a team of passionate and dedicated den sts who take immense pride in their work. Between us, we have a wide range of experience and exper se to be able to provide all types of dental treatment from general preventa ve maintenance to smile makeovers, dental implants and advanced restora ve procedures. Why not book in a consulta on today and see how we can help.

Do I need to make a new Will if we have split up?

Stephen Sampson, Head of Private Client at Monan Gozze  LLP, looks at what you should consider if you separate from your spouse or partner. Where we refer to married couples, that includes couples who are in a civil partnership.

Whether you are married or not, when a rela onship breaks down it is always a tough  me, with lots of decisions to be made. When it comes to Wills, this is an area of law where married couples and unmarried couples are treated very differently.

For a married couple who get divorced, the final order or decree absolute cancels any reference to one spouse in the other spouse’s Will. From a legal standpoint, the ex‐spouse is treated as having died. The rest of the Will s ll stands.

However, there is a serious risk for a married couple in the  me between separa ng and ge ng divorced. The rule above only applies when the final order or decree absolute is issued by the Court, which can be many months or even years a er filing for divorce. Un l then, if one spouse dies, the other spouse s ll inherits under the Will.

For an unmarried couple, the posi on can be far worse. As there are no divorce proceedings, there is no rule that cancels one partner from the other partner’s Will. Unless a new Will is made, an ex‐partner could s ll inherit decades a er the rela onship ended. Most couples own property as “joint tenants”. This means that if one spouse or partner dies, the other automa cally inherits the whole property, even if the Will says something different. This can be stopped by serving a formal “no ce of severance” on the other spouse, which is then registered on your Deeds. That converts the ownership to “tenants in common”, which means you have a separate share, and your new Will decides who inherits that share. If that severance is not done, your ex‐spouse could inherit the whole property regardless of your wishes and regardless of a new Will.

So, what is the advice from me, as an expert in Wills?

It’s simple. If your rela onship breaks down, whether you are married or not, make a new Will and get advice on property ownership. Even if you are not sure what you will have to leave, we can prepare a simple Will to prevent your ex‐spouse or ex‐partner from inheri ng. If you have recently separated and need to make a Will, if you need advice on property ownership, or if you wish to review the Will you already have, why not book a free ini al appointment with me?

You can contact me by calling Monan Gozze  LLP on 01903 927055, or by email to ssampson@monangozze .com. Appointments are available at our Arundel office, at your home, or by video call.

Contain your excitement

by Rachel Leverton

For me, February marks the real beginning of the gardener’s year. Seed sowing starts in earnest, and we can begin to plan to bring the pa o pots alive. If you’re super busy and  me in the garden is short, wait un l late February and purchase fresh, well‐grown young plants from the garden centre. Yes it’s more expensive but it might be worth it in  me and energy saved.

The pa o is a great place to indulge your crea vity. Do you want a brilliant chao c colour palate or a cool tranquil colour scheme, or maybe even monochrome calming greens in many textures of foliage. I think of pa o pots like so  furnishings in the house, changing things up can transform the mood.

While containers are conven onally planted in autumn and late spring, they can actually be planted at any  me of year, and I like to get a couple planted up in February so they can become really established.

I use containers of all sizes but generally the large ones provide more impact. If they are too large and heavy to move easily, plant them with hardy bulbs or permanent shrubs or trees. You can then add seasonal geraniums and pansies etc around the core plan ng. Small, moveable containers can be planted with bright bulbs and specimen plants that can be brought to the front as they reach their peak with flowers or foliage. If you have a sheltered frost‐free area for a cold frame or poly cover you can plant early, keep safe from the worst of the winter weather, and then bring them out when the frosts have finished.

Good trees for larger containers are conifers. There is such a huge variety of shapes and colours to choose from. For pa os it’s best to choose more compact, well‐groomed shapes in bright greens or yellows. Groups of three or five pots containing contras ng shapes and colours work very well together. Alterna vely go for similar shapes in a variety of sizes and colours. Take the garden furniture out of storage this month and clean it up then you can enjoy a cup of tea on sunny days and watch your pa o begin to wake up.

Snowdrops and Spring Flower Gardens

The Na onal Garden Scheme season gets off to a wonderful, bejewelled start with snowdrop and spring flower gardens. From swathes of snowy white blooms to colourful mixtures of aconites, hellebores, iris and crocus under early blossom, there is a garden visit to li  your spirits as the year begins.

Four inspira onal snowdrop gardens will be opening their gates in West Sussex this February and the award‐winning Crosslands Flower Nursery, Walberton, will be holding two‐hour tours of their three acres of glasshouses filled to the brim with Sussex‐grown alstroemeria. And this is just the beginning: 81 fabulous West Sussex gardens will welcome you over the next nine months, including 19 opening for the first  me.

Our funding has also provided support to those in the gardens and health sector along with community gardens and supported gardeners through traineeships.

Angmering Camera Club

Friendly People Who Take Pictures

We are a small, friendly camera club in Angmering, whose members have a range of photographic experience from beginners to advanced amateurs.

The aim of the club is to encourage the development and enjoyment of photography through talks, presentations, prac cal workshops and field trips, without an overbearing emphasis on compe ons. It was founded in 2010 and over the years has had a small but ac ve membership from Angmering, Rus ngton, East Preston, Li lehampton and Worthing. The club meets from 7pm to 9pm on the second and fourth Tuesday of the month, from September to the end of May. Visitors are always welcome.

Angmering Camera Club has a presence on Facebook, Flickr and Instagram in addi on to our website, www.angmeringcameraclub.co.uk

The club holds an annual exhibi on of members’ work in September, displayed at the Angmering Community Centre. This is a fes val of photography that presents work submi ed by members without any constraints, capturing places,  me, emo ons, and events. The work submi ed is chosen by each photographer, so what they want to display is displayed.

The club owns studio flash equipment and a high‐quality digital projector funded by charitable trusts. Field trips are arranged from me to  me, which include going to local events and visi ng Na onal Trust proper es, as well as local parks and the countryside.

The club is involved in a number of projects in the village community including the Angmering Cycling Club. Members also regularly par cipate in and cover events run by the Angmering Twinning Associa on, Angmering Parish Council and St Margaret’s Church.

An ongoing club project involves the recording/ photographing of the refurbishment and development of Highdown Gardens, as part of its Na onal Lo ery Heritage Fund Project.

The Importance of Eye Health Checks

highlighted by World Glaucoma Week

The recent success of Chris McCausland in 2024’s Strictly Come Dancing has raised awareness of the challenges faced by those living with sight loss and should remind us all of the importance of a ending regular eye health checks.

From 9th to 15th March 2025, World Glaucoma Week focuses once again on reminding us, our family and friends to pop a date in the diary for an eye health check‐up. This vital check can detect a number of condi ons and prevent avoidable sight loss.

4Sight Vision Support is suppor ng World Glaucoma Week, a global ini a ve organised by the World Glaucoma Associa on with the aim of aler ng everyone to have regular eye and op c nerve checks to detect glaucoma as early as possible. It is a chronic, progressive, degenera ve disorder of the op c nerve that produces characteris c visual field damage and is the second cause of blindness, and importantly, it is irreversible. In its early stages, it is asymptoma c and if untreated it may progress to blindness. 4Sight Vision Support provides support and specialist informa on to blind and sight‐impaired residents throughout West Sussex, including many people living with glaucoma. In the case of glaucoma, with early treatment, the damage may be limited and sight may be saved.

4Sight Vision Support CEO Kirs e Thomas added, “We hope that raising awareness of glaucoma will encourage all of us to have a regular eye health check. Even those living

with vision loss should con nue to do so as checking for further changes in the eyes can help make the best use of remaining vision and prevent any unnecessary further sight loss.”

This photograph of 4Sight Vision Support’s Head Office illustrates how glaucoma can cause loss of peripheral vision of sight over me.

Worthing Fes val handed over to the community

A er two successful years, Worthing Borough Council has handed the town’s summer me celebra on of arts and culture over to the community.

Prepara ons for next year’s new‐look Worthing Fes val are now underway, with local crea ves having taken on the management of the celebra on for the first  me. The fes val was inspired by conversa ons between the council and the town’s arts community, who were looking for a way to shine a light on the wealth of crea ve talent that Worthing has to offer.

A mul ‐arts fes val was decided upon and brought to life by Time for Worthing, the council's official tourism arm.

Following a huge effort from the fes val’s organisers, the inaugural celebra on took place in June 2023 and saw dozens of events covering music, art, heritage, comedy and family entertainment take place across the town.

More than 14,000 visitors were es mated to have visited the town centre over the eight‐day celebra on and the council was overwhelmed by the support for a second fes val following feedback from the town’s businesses and crea ve community.

This summer the town hosted an even bigger celebra on, featuring more than 100 events registered over two weeks in June. Thousands of locals and people from outside the region visited the town to enjoy live entertainment, talks, crea ve sessions and more.

To help the fes val grow year on year, the council has invited a group of the town’s arts community to take over its direc on. It had always been intended that the fes val would be owned by the community once it had

become well‐established, but council officers and members will con nue to offer support to the new organisers.

Councillor Dom Ford, Worthing’s cabinet member for communi es, culture and leisure, said: “We’ve had a blast organising the fes val with our talented arts community, but we feel that now is the right  me for it to be owned and developed by the town.

“I would like to thank everyone that has been involved in helping the fes val go from an idea to a celebra on hos ng more than 100 events it’s testament to the amazing crea ves and venues we have across Worthing.

“I can’t wait to see what the community does next with the fes val and look forward to a ending many events next summer.”

Jennifer Le , member of The Worthing Fes val Group and co‐founder of Hand Brew Co, said: “The commi ee would like to thank Worthing Borough Council for their hard work producing the fes val over the last two years. We look forward to growing a successful, community‐led celebra on for residents, businesses and those visi ng our vibrant town. Our aim is to showcase the very best of Worthing and beyond.”

Local ar sts are being invited to create bold, vibrant artwork to represent the community‐run fes val’s first year. To find out more and apply by the 1st January 2026 deadline, visit: h ps://worthingfes val.org.uk

World Day of Prayer

This takes place on Friday 7th March and this year was inspired and led by Chris an women from The Cook Islands who have shared stories of their struggle during Covid‐19, of their culture being devalued and of the improvements in obstetric health care. We give thanks for their honesty and their witness to God’s strength in their lives.

They say: “God knows us in mately and we are special to God in our uniqueness. When we open the doors of our hearts to this truth everything in our life changes. We glow from within and we begin to treat others as beloved children of God. Through this Service we hope people will be spiritually upli ed as they come to trust the great love of God.”

World Day of Prayer is an international, inter‐church organisation which enables us to hear the thoughts of women from all parts of the world: their hopes, concerns and prayers. The preparation for the day is vast. An international committee is based in New York and there are national committees in each participating country. Regional conferences meet to consider the service and then local groups make their plans.

The Day of Prayer is celebrated in over 120 countries. It begins in Samoa and prayer travel throughout the world before finishing in American Samoa 38 hours later.

The 2025 World Day of Prayer event in our area will be held on Friday 7th March at St Andrews URC, Holmes Lane, Rus ngton BN16 2PY at 10.30am. There is also a service at St Margaret’s Church, Arundel Road, Angmering at 1.45pm.All services are en tled ‘I made you wonderful’ and there will be refreshments a erwards. All are welcome!

The Future of Colonnade House

as a crea ve hub

Worthing Borough Council is offering the ar s c community the chance to help develop innova ve ways to ensure that Colonnade House con nues to act as a successful hub for the town’s crea ves for years to come.

Working in partnership with the Adur and Worthing Trust, in 2016 the council transformed the historic building into a welcoming mul purpose venue that provides affordable workspaces for the crea ve community and galleries showcasing the work of local, regional and na onal ar sts.

The council wants to sustain Colonnade House’s success at bringing crea ves and the community together and suppor ng future growth, but it needs to find new funding opportuni es to con nue that work.

Currently, the council financially supports the Adur and Worthing Trust in managing Colonnade House. Like many local councils, Worthing Borough Council is facing tough pressures due to significant reduc ons in the central government grant over many years, challenges from infla on and cost of living pressures, and is exploring ways to work with the community to ensure the long‐term success of cultural projects in the town.

Over the next few months, the council will work with the Adur and Worthing Trust to secure addi onal funding to con nue Colonnade House’s current opera ng model and explore new partnerships with other trusts, benefactors, or organisa ons.

As a council for the community, Worthing Borough Council is keen to include

the ar s c community in cultural events, and has announced plans to hand over the direc on of the Worthing fes val to crea ve groups.

A consulta on launched in January this year gives crea ves, businesses and poten al partners a chance to learn more about how Colonnade House currently operates and express an interest in helping the council find innova ve ways to support and fund it.

Councillor Dom Ford, Worthing’s cabinet member for communi es, culture and leisure, said: “Colonnade House is extremely important to the local crea ve community in Worthing. We are commi ed to working together with the community to find a way to ensure that it con nues to thrive for years to come.”

The council will keep residents updated on how to get involved on its social media channels and via Colonnade House’s newsle er, which you can sign up for here: www.colonnadehouse.co.uk/contact

A history of Roundstone Garage, East Preston by Graham Lewis with acknowledgements to Richard Standing

When the railway line was constructed in 1846, cu ng straight through the Roundstone crossroads and crea ng the Roundstone level crossing we complain about today, it le  a triangle of land which came to a point immediately south‐east of the level crossing.

This was part of the Withy Field, farmland linked to Corner House farm, later to become Preston Place, owned by the Warren family. It was on this awkwardly shaped field that, from 1913, members of the Temple Choir in London used to spend their summer holidays in a wooden camping hut. These holidays at Roundstone con nued un l the lease on the land ran out in 1929 and the site was sold for development.

It seems that in 1930, an East Preston man, Bertram Roberts, proposed building a filling sta on on the site. According to local historian Richard Standing, in May 1930, Roberts was issued with licences for both petrol and carbide. At around the same  me, Roberts put in a plan for a bungalow on the south side of Withy Field, next to the filling sta on. Perhaps this was where he intended to live, although there is no evidence he ever did. The bungalow remains there to this day, although enlarged. There is a photo that is said to have been taken in 1947 when the bungalow was Freddie’s Roundstone Café, but this was only for a few years.

In 1933, several applica ons were made on behalf of Richard Cook for a store, office and workshop on the garage site. The drawings for this do not seem to have survived. However, the final plan in 1935 details how the Cook garage was to be altered. At that stage, there was a workshop some 18 feet wide by 24 feet deep, ending on North Lane.

The 1935 proposal added a new wing to the north for a shop and office, which would be a single‐storey, slightly modernist building with a flat roof and a small wraparound corner office window. There would be a line of four new pumps by the roadside and a “Roundstone

Garage” sign under the parapet, which, as the picture above reveals, the architect’s 1935 drawing of the front eleva on managed to misspell the name.

In the 1930s, the garage and bungalow were in splendid rural isola on, apart from a few glasshouses and bungalows north of the railway. The Roundstone Bypass would not be built for a few more years, and all traffic along the coast ran by this garage, conveniently held up by the crossing gates when trains passed – conveniently, that is, for the garage owner and sales of petrol.

In 1937 there appears to have been a complete rebuild, resul ng in the size and profile of the garage that con nues there through to this day, although there have been many modifica ons. Adver sements referred to “Boorer’s Garage, Roundstone, Agents for Humber Hillman Talbot Standard SS Chevrolet cars”. Electoral registers named the owner as Alfred Boorer of Broadwater, where he already had a garage. The Roundstone Bypass and then the war must have been a double blow to business.

In the 1980s, the garage was referred to variously as Hares Service Sta on, Centurion Garage Ltd., and by the turn of the century, John Cooper Garage. At some stage the petrol pumps were removed. Today the business trades as Hares of Sussex, a long‐established name locally.

Raj Raju

PCSO East Preston

Raj is a Police Community Support Officer for Sussex Police, and has been in the role for nearly four years. As part of his role, he maintains a good rela onship with the residents and businesses of Rus ngton, East Preston and Ferring villages. He also has an addi onal role as a Community engagement advisor for Black, Asian, and Ethnic community groups. Prior to this role, he worked as a healthcare worker in various care se ngs, and this helped him to safeguard the most vulnerable people in the community. His current role helps him to interact and meet with different people on a daily basis and most importantly, his presence in the community, acts as a deterrent to prevent crime. Although PCSOs deal with low‐level crime, their presence in the community provides residents with reassurance. Part of his job is to visit business owners in East Preston and listen to their concerns. He is regularly in touch with local parish councils and a ends parish mee ngs .

What do you like best about East Preston?

I have been working as a local officer for East Preston for over three years and people are friendly. I appreciate the local resident’s respect for the police. Most importantly, I have seen residents come together and celebrate events every year. There are volunteers signed up for neighbourhood speed watch, which is a great sign of community safety.

What do you like least about East Preston?

Like other villages, parking and speeding are s ll causing issues in and around East Preston. There are speed signs in the village, but people con nue to ignore them.

If you could change anything about East Preston, what would it be? I would like to see East Preston beach a ract more tourists and, if required, addi onal parking spaces and facili es. It would be a wise idea to have a radar speed checker in Worthing Road in the near future to make drivers aware of their speed.

What is your earliest memory? I s ll recall my nursery days where I had a joyful  me with the other children and teachers. Although it is a faint memory, I can remember being told off  for not doing homework. I was reluctant to go to nursery to begin with, but my parents s ll dragged me out from home. I believe this has now been passed down to my son as he had trouble coping during his early days at nursery. What did you want to be when you grew up? I wanted to be a fighter pilot when I was a teenager, possibly influenced by Hollywood movies. For this reason, I joined the student cadet force in school and college, where I learned leadership skills and discipline. I am s ll passionate about watching airshows and displays and s ll have some regrets for not joining the force.

What is the most expensive thing you have ever bought (not including property)?

I recently bought an iPhone 15 Plus. Although I am not tech savvy, I like some of the features like quick browsing, the long ba ery life and that it can be used as a tracking device. It cost me around £750 and I hope it lasts for a few years.

Which living person do you most admire?

As an amateur cricketer, I admire re red Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar, who is the reason for my passion for cricket. He played for India from age 16 in 1989 to 2013 and broke many records in interna onal cricket. Surprisingly, he s ll holds some of the records, such as the most centuries and most runs in interna onal cricket. At the age of 19, he became the first overseas‐born player to represent the Yorkshire County team. Sachin also played for MCC at Lords and played charity matches.

What was your first car and your favourite thing about it? My first car was a Kia Rio, which was a good, decent car and helped to save money on fuel. I had it for a good few years and was impressed with the company offering seven years warranty for all their cars. I liked this car due to its sleek look hatchback style and it needed li le maintenance.

What is your favourite city in the world?

Due to recent experience, I would say Dubai because of its fast development in recent years. The infrastructure and tourist a rac ons in Dubai a ract people from across the world. It has the world’s tallest building, Burj Khalifa, and provides ideal opportuni es to experience desert safaris and buy world‐class products.

What is your idea of perfect happiness?

My version of happiness would be spending a holiday with my family so that I do not have to think about what is happening in other parts of the world. I believe it is so important to invest plenty of me in our families and rela onships, which helps to relieve stress from our daily lives, jobs or ac vi es.

Benefits of Home Automa on

Smart home technology is becoming increasingly popular in the UK, offering security, comfort and energy efficiency. So just what are the benefits of home automa on?

Un l recently, home automa on using integrated smart technology seemed like science fic on, but with advances in AI technology and the rollout of high‐speed broadband and smartphones, it is becoming a reality, offering convenience, safety, comfort and even adding to the value of our homes.

Smart home technology

A smart home allows homeowners the chance to control many aspects of their home, including the temperature, lights, blinds, security cameras and integrated appliances remotely via their smartphone, tablet or computer. Smart technology allows you to record a TV show on a smart TV from a hundred miles away; it lets you see who has rung your doorbell and is outside your home from your workplace; it lets you set the washing machine to do the laundry while you are out; set your hea ng to come on at a specific  me to suit you; and it enables you to water your garden while you are away.

Smart security and ligh ng

Many people choose home automa on for the security it can afford your property whether you are home or away. Smart doorbells have become more and more popular as useful ways of making your home feel safer. Even if you are inside your home, when the doorbell rings you can use your phone to see who is there and choose whether to answer the door. You can even speak to someone at your door through this smart technology. This is par cularly useful for vulnerable people. Smart security systems can also incorporate many other devices, including mo on detectors, wireless cameras and smoke detectors.

Smart ligh ng systems are also an effec ve security feature and so much more so as they interact with their environment and the people in them.

Smart Comfort

Over recent years, smart thermostats have revolu onised home hea ng and cooling, saving customers valuable pounds and improving comfort. There are numerous op ons with some smart thermostats being smarter than others. A basic system simply controls the hea ng or cooling in a home remotely, while top‐of‐the‐range models offer many more op ons, including security, smart speakers, air quality and energy‐use monitors.

Smart Home Cleaning

Smart home cleaning is the future of household cleaning. With the advent of technology, we can now automate and op mise our cleaning tasks like never before. The use of sensors, robots, and smart cleaners that are connected to the internet can revolu onise the way we clean our homes. From robo c vacuum cleaners to smart refuse bins, these devices can perform various cleaning tasks without human interven on.

Smart Entertainment

An integrated smart home entertainment system can really expand your leisure experience. By linking numerous devices, such as TVs and smart speakers, you can create mul ‐room entertainment that moves with you as you move around your home. You don’t have to stop enjoying a song playing in the kitchen if you go into the lounge, and you don’t have to turn the sound up in the kitchen so you can hear it in the lounge, the song can follow you from a device in the kitchen to the lounge! Likewise, with a TV show you are watching in one room while wan ng to move to another! The possibili es of smart leisure are endless Whether it is comfort, security or fun, home automa on really can make your life be er.

Hidden batteries cause fires

dispose of them safely in 2025

Across the UK, over 700 fires were caused by residents putting batteries in their household recycling or general waste bins in 2022. As we welcome the New Year, many of us are looking to clear out old, unwanted items. But don't forget to dispose of all kinds of batteries, including those hidden batteries inside electric toothbrushes, toys and more, safely.

It’s easy to do the right thing, put your ba eries in a box or drawer, and never in the bin. Then drop them off at your local supermarket, electrical retailer, nearest Recycling Centre, or use your local district and borough's free ba ery collec on (where available). Adur and Worthing, Crawley, Horsham, and Mid‐Sussex offer kerbside collec ons for ba eries but they all collect these slightly differently, so please visit our website for more informa on: www.westsussex.gov.uk/land‐waste‐and‐housing/waste‐and‐recycling/recycling‐and‐waste‐preven on

Don’t forget about vapes! Looking to quit smoking in 2025? Vapes also contain ba eries so it is important they are disposed of safely, too. Vapes can be disposed of at our Recycling Centres in the designated container. Alterna vely, all of the district and boroughs in West Sussex will collect these as part of their kerbside small electrical collec ons.

Worthing Reuse Shop

Our second reuse shop at the Worthing Recycling Centre on Willowbrook Road opened last month. This ini a ve is part of our commitment to reducing waste and promo ng reuse across the county. Following the success of the first reuse shop at Billingshurst Recycling Centre, which has saved over 51 tonnes of materials for reuse since its launch in March 2022, the Worthing shop aims to build on this.

You do not need to book to visit the new Worthing reuse shop as it can be accessed without entering the Recycling Centre. To donate, however, you will need to book an appointment. Appointments can be made online here. Please note that dona ons need to be in good working order as shop staff cannot repair or refurbish items.

The shops are able to accept:

 Board games and puzzles

 Books

 Children’s toys

 Computer games

 Crockery (for example, plates, bowls, mugs, glasses and teapots)

 DVDs, CDs and records

 Internal and external furniture (for example, chairs, tables and desks)

 Pots and pans

 Silverware

 Tools and toolboxes

 and more…

Both reuse shops operate five‐days‐a‐week, year‐round:

The Billingshurst reuse shop is closed on Thursday and Friday.

The Worthing reuse shop is closed on Wednesday and Thursday, even during extended summer hours at the recycling centre.

For more informa on about the shops and other Recycling Centre reuse ini a ves, visit our website.

Small and Large Screen Entertainment

this February

With new releases and returning favourites, February is a great  me for those who enjoy curling up at home in front of the TV or a night out at their local cinema.

February evenings are long, but with so many great tv programmes, some outstanding live spor ng events returning this month, and some excellent new movie releases, there is something for everyone. These are some of my highlights.

Large Screen

Captain America: Brave New World

Eagerly an cipated for release on 14th February and starring Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson the new Captain America, taking over from Chris Evans, this is the fourth movie in the Marvel series. Viewers will remember Wilson as the Avenger Falcon. In true Captain America style, following the elec on of Thaddeus Ross (played by Harrison Ford) Wilson finds himself tasked to uncover the masterminds of a major interna onal incident.

Love Hurts

This quirky and exci ng comedy ac on movie is directed by Jonathan Eusebio and starring Ke Huy Quan as a realtor who is drawn back into a life of crime that he thought he’d le    as his crime‐lord brother makes him confront his past.

Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy

TV Highlights

The Six Na ons and Super Bowl LIX

As an unashamed sports fan, February has two mega tv events from either side of the Atlan c to enjoy. Saturday 1st sees 2024 Rugby Union champions Ireland play England at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin in what is set to be the heavyweight match of the Six Na ons tournament. Kick off 4.45pm on ITV1.

American Football’s Super Bowl LIX takes place on 9th February from the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans and is on Sky Sports NFL Channel. Neutral observers are once again hoping for a nailbiter a er Kansas City edged the 49ers last year.

The Summer I turned Pre y Series 3 – Prime Video

The fourth instalment of Helen Fielding’s hilarious comedy is set for a Valen nes Day release and sees Renee Zellweger, Hugh Grant and Emma Thompson reprise their roles. The story picks up with Bridget now in her fi ies and widowed a er the death of Mark Darcy (Colin Firth). Bridget is a mum of two and begins an o en‐hilarious rela onship with a much younger man, played by the in‐vogue actor Leo Woodall.

Romance and beau ful scenery abound as the third instalment of Jenny Han’s trilogy con nues to follow New England teenager Belly Conklin’s flourishing from awkward child to stunning young woman and her love of two teenage brothers who she has holidayed with at their idyllic beachside home at Cousins Beach since a child. Will season three see Belly with brooding Conrad or outgoing Jeremiah?

Silent Witness, Season 28 – BBC TV

Emilia Fox and David Caves reprise their roles as Dr Nikki Alexander and Jack Hodgson in the ever‐popular BBC TV show, which returns once again, with iconic Maggie Steed (recently seen in the excellent Rivals on Disney+) joining the cast. With five new stories spread over ten episodes, the opener is the disturbing mystery of an elderly woman whose body is discovered in a cave.
