Welcome to our September issue. Parents will be busy preparing for the return of ironing school uniforms, fixing nutritious packed lunches, and enduring endless school runs. It’s back to work and to our clubs and societies for many of us after a summer break.
September can feel like a new start, so why not take the opportunity to do something different this autumn? You could spend some time sprucing up your home and preparing for the colder months ahead. There are so many businesses in your local community that could help you complete some of those tasks on your to ‐do list, from fixing that leak to garden clearance, gutter cleaning to roof repair.
We have lots of events happening in the local area this autumn, and we have a new look to our website for you to either add your own events or to see what is going on. You can even upload your own photos to help promote your event now.

Feargal Sharkey Visits Worthing
Feargal Sharkey was in Sussex this summer on his ‘Stop the Sh*t Show’ tour to highlight UK water pollution. Rock‐singer‐turned‐environmental‐campaigner Feargal Sharkey is touring Great Britain –visiting some of our best‐loved rivers and seas. Back on the road for the first time in nearly 40 years, the singer, campaigner and President of Labour’s environment campaign, SERA (Socialist Environment and Resources Association), met local Labour campaigners, Labour’s Parliamentary Candidates for Worthing West, Dr Beccy Cooper, and East Worthing and Shoreham, Tom Rutland, and the public to highlight the pollution on Worthing beach.
The campaign supports candidates who are members of Labour’s Environment Campaign. It also highlights the disgraceful state of the UK’s rivers and seas after 14 years of neglect by the Tory government and profits‐over‐people recklessness from water companies.
Dr Beccy Cooper, Labour’s candidate for Worthing West, said: “Worthing residents are constantly telling me how fed up they are of sewage being pumped into our precious seas and rivers. We want to be able to take our
children into the sea without checking when the last sewage discharge was and whether it’s safe to swim. Thanks to Feargal Sharkey for joining us to highlight the state of our seas and rivers and to show why now is the time to elect a new Labour government that will clean up our waters and hold water companies such as Southern Water to account.”
Co‐chairs of Labour’s environment campaign Ken Penton and Lisa Trickett, said: “This campaign could not be clearer – it’s time to stop the sh*t show and put nature and our environment back at the centre of the government’s priorities.
“Britain’s waters need a fresh start.”
Nine green spaces achieve Green Flag status in Adur and
Worthing
More green spaces in Adur and Worthing have been na onally recognised for their management, environmental standards and appearance. Nine of Adur and Worthing Councils’ parks, reserves and gardens have been awarded the Green Flag thanks to the hard work of its parks’ team and the dedicated volunteers that help maintain the area’s green spaces.
In Worthing, Highdown Gardens (pictured above), Marine Gardens, Denton Gardens (pictured below), Field Place and Beach House Park have won the award. Managed by Keep Britain Tidy, the award is the na onal benchmark for parks and green spaces, encouraging a higher standard of maintenance and ensuring parks are managed in an environmentally‐friendly way.
Denton Gardens, located on Brighton Road, Worthing, is a new winner for this year. The area’s eight other award‐winning green spaces have retained the honour.
Cllr Jude Harvey, Adur’s cabinet member for the environment and leisure, said: “It’s excellent news that four of our spaces have been recognised again in this year’s Green Flag
awards. I’d like to say a huge thank you to our parks team and the many local groups that help manage, maintain and bring life to our green and blue spaces.”
Cllr Vicki Wells, Worthing's cabinet member for environmental services, said: “I’m delighted that five of our much‐loved green spaces have achieved Green Flag status as part of this year’s awards. I’m par cularly thrilled for the Friends of Denton Gardens, who have worked so hard to achieve this well‐earned result. They now join the suite of wonderful Worthing parks recognised for their green fingers and gra .
“The local groups and volunteers that support our teams are crucial to the management of Worthing’s parks and coastline. In addi on, working with nature as part of a group brings its own wellbeing benefits. I am very grateful for all the me they give to help make our spaces the best they can be for visitors and nature alike.”
“Thanks go to Worthing Borough Council’s CIL Neighbourhood Fund and Rampion for the funding that has enabled us to replace the pergola and replant and refresh the gardens, and to Coast and The Egremont for enthusias cally providing facili es and refreshments.”
Awards are given on an annual basis, and winners must apply each year to renew their Green Flag status. Volunteer judges decide on each successful site.
Each award‐winning park must be deemed to be a welcoming place, healthy, safe and secure, well‐maintained and clean. It must also meet criteria such as sustainability, conserva on and heritage, and have community involvement.

Race across the South Coast
Inspired by Race Across the world, a historic Race Across the South Coast has ended in Victory for a certain Vice‐Admiral. Vice‐Admiral Lord Hora o Nelson, star ng in London beat Queen Victoria and King Henry VIII to his flagship at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, cheered on by visitors.
Over the summer Portsmouth Historic Dockyard organised a race across the South Coast featuring Queen Victoria, King Henry VIII and Lord Nelson, with followers on social media encouraged to share posts to win ckets, and to guess where the next stop on their journey was. The historic trio were aiming to be the first to reach the dockyard where their respec ve ships are exhibited. Lord Nelson’s HMS Victory the icon of the Ba le of Trafalgar, Victoria’s HMS Warrior the world’s first ironclad ship and Henry’s Mary Rose the legendary example of mari me archaeology.
Faster than horse‐drawn carriages they travelled via public transport, showcasing just how well‐connected Portsmouth Historic Dockyard is in the South.
Local partners from across the South made the event possible with the kind help of train companies, local museums and councils.
The race showcased iconic loca ons across the South Coast, with the trio beginning the compe on in loca ons relevant to them, Hen‐ry VIII’s home Hampton Court Palace, Queen Victoria’s bedroom at the Royal Pavilion in Brighton, and Lord Nelson’s portrait at the Na onal Portrait Gallery in London. Key stops along the way captured other important historic loca ons, from Chichester Cathedral to Guildford Castle. It wasn’t just historic monuments that caught their eye, Victoria found her way onto a giant observa on wheel on Worthing seafront, Lord Nelson surveyed the op ons for water travel across the river Thames, and Henry marvelled at modern fish and chips.
As shown on Sunday 11th August the finale took place at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, between Queen Victoria and Lord Nelson, as Henry was distracted by his fish and chips.
Following a photo‐finish Lord Nelson claimed victory, with Henry and Victoria as gracious losers.
Becca Hubbard Associate Execu ve Director for Marke ng at the Na onal Museum of the Royal Navy who jointly operate Portsmouth Historic Dockyard with the Mary Rose Trust says: “This campaign has been a wonderful opportunity to showcase how well‐connected Portsmouth Historic Dockyard by train, no ma er where you’re coming from in the South. It’s been lovely to see the reac ons on social media, and to work with so many fantas c partners to make this happen. The reac on of the public from sharing on social media, to chasing down Queen Victoria for a selfie shows how interested people are in the stories that we tell.” All of the films can be viewed on Instagram or X at @phdockyard, or on Facebook: h ps:// www.facebook.com/historicdockyard
The flagships of these historic icons are available to visit at Portsmouth Historic Dock‐yard. Experience the wooden walls of Lord Nelson or explore the engine room of the pride of Queen Victoria’s fleet. The Ul mate Explorer Ticket is the best value op on for 12‐month entry to all 9 a rac ons at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, including the two Gosport sites, Harbour Tours and all the historic ships. Tickets are valid for mul ple entries throughout the year, with family ckets available. To book visit: www. historicdockyard.co.uk/ ckets‐and‐offers
Link to Hope Launches Campaign
to Promote Furniture Sustainability
Link to Hope is announcing the launch of its latest ini a ve dedicated to promo ng sustainability through a strong commitment to environmental stewardship, social jus ce, and social responsibility. The charity provides a free furniture collec on service to reduce landfill waste and support humanitarian efforts in Eastern Europe.
In response to the growing concern over the volume of furniture discarded in landfills over 42 per cent of pre‐loved furniture in the UK ends up in landfills the charity emphasises the crucial importance of sustainability, par cularly regarding furniture.
Environmental studies indicate that discarded furniture poses environmental hazards and contributes to pollu on. By reusing furniture, we can conserve natural resources, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and minimise waste sent to landfills.
Lisa Hector, General Manager of Link to Hope, says: “Through our free furniture collec on service and retail shops, we aim to facilitate the dona on of pre‐loved furniture. This effort enables us to sell these items to new owners, contribu ng to a circular economy with reduced waste and resource reuse while raising funds to transform lives in Eastern Europe.”
Link to Hope encourages residents to u lise the free furniture collec on service by scheduling a pickup at their convenience. All types of furniture in saleable condi on, including sofas, dining tables and desks, are accepted. It is
essen al to note that any furniture with padding must have an a ached fire label.
Beyond
promo ng environmental sustainability, proceeds from recycled furniture will support Link to Hope’s mission of rebuilding lives and communi es in Eastern Europe. This includes educa onal and social care ini a ves, with a par cular focus on humanitarian efforts in Ukraine.

Weekly food waste collec ons
set for phased roll‐out in Adur and Worthing
Domes c food waste collec ons will begin in Adur and Worthing by spring 2026 a er more funding to start rolling out the service was secured. A phased roll‐out of weekly food waste collec ons will launch in March 2026, with household refuse and recycling collec ons con nuing to happen every two weeks.
Food waste makes up approximately 39.5% of the content of a household bin by weight in Adur and 40.6% in Worthing. Adur and Worthing Councils have been working to minimise these figures with schemes like community compos ng and a compe on for residents to win a hot compos ng bin by sending in ps for reducing food waste.
Weekly food waste collec ons are now being introduced to help the councils improve their recycling rates as well as to comply with the government’s simpler recycling scheme, which was introduced to create consistency in the way recycling, food waste and garden waste are collected across the country.
The scheme requires all councils to provide a kerbside food waste collec on for businesses and other non‐premises by 31st March 2025 and for all households by 31st March 2026.
In March this year the councils wrote to the government to request a review of the funding allocated, as the amount provided was es mated to fall short of what is needed to implement a full service by £900,000.
Although the councils have since been awarded an addi onal £227,000, the total provided s ll doesn’t cover the implementa on or ongoing running costs of the new service, or the work at the councils’ depots needed for the project. Un l sufficient government funding is made available or other funding is iden fied, the councils will phase the roll‐out of the service, priori sing areas with the most homes.
Households with a kerbside collec on will receive a seven‐litre caddy to use in the kitchen and a 23‐litre food waste caddy to
place out on collec on day. Food waste will be collected weekly. Refuse and recycling will con nue to be collected fortnightly.
Residents living in blocks of flats will also receive a caddy to use in their kitchen. They will be able to use new 140‐litre food waste bins that will be placed in communal stores and collected weekly. The collected food waste will be transferred to West Sussex County Council.
The councils will need ten new 7.5 tonne vehicles to deliver the service that will include the purchase of two electric vehicles. This approach will enable the councils to test electric vehicle technology and provide me to make changes to depot and vehicle workshop infrastructure needed to accommodate the new technology.
Before the weekly food waste service is introduced, the councils will use so ware to develop more efficient refuse and recycling collec on routes.
Residents will con nue to be able to use the council’s website to check their bin collec on day as well as to sign up for reminders to put their bin out by downloading the free smartphone app.
Councillor Vicki Wells, Worthing’s cabinet member for environmental services, said: “Food waste collec ons have been a priority for residents and the administra on for over two years. Although the council has secured enough funding for a phased service, I am very disappointed that we can’t afford to roll out the scheme in its en rety.
“I will con nue pressing for increased community compos ng schemes to follow the success at Victoria Park and also press for alterna ve fuelled vehicles, ensuring we future proof our waste fleet for the environment.”

Inves ng at any level can o en feel like a bit of a rollercoaster ride. It’s the nature of the beast, so belt up, strap in and hold your breath.
In all fairness, it’s much more mundane than seeing your life flash before your eyes, but there are plenty of ups and downs to consider when it comes to managing your investment por olio.
The past year has seemed pre y buoyant in terms of making money, especially when you consider that it was almost impossible to make headway in the previous one. So, does this mean things are on the up and what can we expect from the next 12 months?
Well, financially speaking, it’s not bad, but in many ways, it’s not good either. The outlook is certainly be er than a year ago, but there is always the next thing just wai ng around the corner to add some destabilisa on. The new government is certainly pitching its hopes for growth, which should be posi ve news for businesses up and down the country.
Timing can be everything; understanding when to get in and when to get out is a well‐honed skill, but it’s also very personal. Only you know what risks you are willing to take and what you are prepared to lose, alterna vely, on the upside, it’s only you that knows what you need and what is enough.
As human beings, we are o en led by emo on, ela on when things go right and despair when things go, well… less right. Take it from me: neither of these moments is the best me to dive head‐on into decision‐making. Instead, take me to reflect, analyse performance and inves gate what went well and what went less well. It’s o en far easier to look at things in perspec ve when emo on is taken out of the
on.

Stephen Sampson, Head of Private Client at Monan Gozze LLP and an expert in Wills and Inheritance Tax, looks at the poten al impact of a new government on your Will.
At the me of wri ng this ar cle, I have just read the Chancellor’s announcement of spending cuts, and removal of the Winter Fuel Allowance for most pensioners, yet at the same me some large spending increases.
Put simply, the cuts announced will not be sufficient to cover the increases. Taxes will need to rise. During the elec on campaign Labour commi ed to not increase Income Tax, Na onal Insurance, or VAT, leaving Capital Gains Tax and Inheritance Tax in the firing line.
The next Budget, on 30th October, will provide the details on which taxes will rise. At the moment, the smart money seems to be on an increase in Inheritance Tax. That increase could come from making pension policies subject to IHT, reducing the Nil Rate Band (from the current maximum of £1 million), or even increasing the tax rate (currently 40%). Time will tell.
So, what can you do now to prepare for any changes?
Check what happens to your pension when you die
If you are not absolutely sure, do contact your pension provider or IFA to find out. Your Will does not determine who inherits your pension. If pensions become subject to IHT, there are likely to be considerable complica ons if your pension does not pass to the same beneficiaries as the rest of your estate.
Check the value of your estate
Make sure you know what is in your estate and what it is worth. This includes property, savings, investments, life insurance, pensions, and any share in a business. I recommend asking a local estate agent to value any property you own, as guesswork is unhelpful, and Zoopla can be unreliable.
Book a professional review of your Will Dust off your copy of your Will and arrange for it to be professionally reviewed by a solicitor. Already, old Wills (especially those made before 9th October 2007) can increase the IHT payable on your estate, depending on what technical clauses are included in it. Budget changes could make the situa on even worse.
If you do not have a Will, make one If you are compos men s, there is really no excuse for not having a Will. No Will means that you have no choice about who inherits your estate, which can also increase the tax bill on your death.
At Monan Gozze LLP, we offer a free appointment to professionally review exis ng Wills and a free ini al appointment to discuss making a Will. These mee ngs can take place in our Arundel office (1 Tarrant Street), at your home, or as a video call (Teams, Zoom, or WhatsApp). To arrange an appointment, please call the Arundel office on 01903 927055, or email me: ssampson@monangozze .com
Sussex Pathfinders Rambling Club
Since the start of 2024, our members have enjoyed a wide variety of walks covering both East and West Sussex from the south to the north. One intrepid walk leader even gave us the opportunity to visit Hayling Island in June.
Most Saturdays consist of five‐mile walks, while on Sundays, walkers enjoy longer walks of eight to 10 miles, plus the very popular ‘Figure of 8’ walks, which consist of four or five miles in the morning, a stop for lunch at the star ng point and then a further four or five miles in the a ernoon. Members choose whether to walk in the morning, a ernoon or both.
News on a na onal scale has been welcomed by everyone who enjoys exercise and being out in the fresh air. To celebrate the corona on of His Majesty King Charles III, the England Coast Path has been renamed the ‘King Charles III England Coast Path’, leaving a las ng legacy to be enjoyed by walkers around the en re English coastline.
The path is being opened in sec ons, but when completed, it will be the longest coastal path in the world at approximately 2,700 miles. This amazing new Na onal Trail will take people through some of England's finest landscapes, connec ng the many seaside towns, ci es and ports that have shaped this island na on. It will link iconic places and heritage on the coast with the less well‐known and unlock some parts of our coast for the first me
On Saturday 7th September, SPRC will be mee ng at 10am at the north end of Sea Lane at the junc on with Ilex Way and parking will be on‐street. The five‐ mile walk will go via Ilex
Way, Ferring, Ferring Rife, East Kingston and King Charles III England Coast Path.
On Saturday 14th September, we will walk through woods, along country lanes and the riverbank in Arundel. It will be a six‐mile route star ng at 10am from Maxwell Road and will go via Binstead Wood, Slate Farm Barn and Tor ngton.
On Saturday 26th October, SPRC will be mee ng at 10am at High Salvington for a six‐mile walk across downland and through woods via Honeysuckle Lane, Long Furlong, Richardson’s Wood, Clapham, Clapham Wood, Long Furlong and Honeysuckle Lane.

Ferring Country Centre – worth a visit!
Ferring Country Centre is the best‐kept secret along the Sussex coast, which is a shame really as we would like to be be er known!
Founded in 1986 by a group of parents deeply concerned about the type of future they could expect for their disabled children, they decided to do something about it. With help from Mencap, they were able to purchase some old riding stables at Ferring and, with the support of many volunteers, they started to develop a Country Centre to fulfil their dream: to enable their children to lead rewarding and self‐fulfilling lives, to par cipate in the world of work and learn essen al life skills.
Roll on nearly 40 years, and the centre has expanded enormously whilst remaining true to its original goals of providing a safe and suppor ve environment where adults with a learning disability can flourish. They work in our various commercial enterprises which include a Riding Therapy Unit, a Garden Centre, the Rangers Café and Dales Farm for small animals. All the income generated is re‐invested in the charity, which is especially important in the current economic climate as we strive to become more financially independent.
Hor culture has always been an integral part of our ac vi es and is well‐known for its therapeu c proper es. It all began in a small field with a few polytunnels, where they grew some fruit and vegetables and a few bedding plants. It has subsequently developed into a thriving garden centre, well‐known locally for the quality of the plants and compe ve prices. Most of our plants are raised in the main
greenhouse, bought in 1989 a er a massive fund‐raising campaign. There are also five polytunnels in which plants are grown to maturity before going onto the display benches. Our hanging baskets are a speciality, and many loyal customers return every year, many bringing their emp es for a re‐fill.
During the Covid lockdown, we were luckily in a posi on to con nue with a major refurbishment of the garden centre, which saw the comple on of our new café and visitors’ centre, as well as the installa on of a new covered walkway, bringing a new professionalism to the customer experience. Our clients remain the focus of our endeavours. They can choose which ac vi es to pursue, and we strive to boost their confidence and self‐esteem in a friendly environment. Please come and visit to see for yourselves; you can be sure of a warm welcome!

nathalie@newleafnutrition.co.uk
The UK government's Healthy Ageing Challenge supports innova ve ways to keep older adults socially connected and engaged. This ini a ve is crucial, as social interac ons can significantly improve mental and physical wellbeing. Let me share a personal story to highlight its impact.
My 86‐year‐old father joined a gym for the first me a year ago. He doesn’t par cularly enjoy exercising, but the friendly environment and regular interac ons with staff and fellow gym‐goers have transformed him. He's more mobile, less lonely, and has more energy. His heart health has also improved, and he’s genuinely happier.
For many, the idea of social interac on or even leaving the house can be daun ng. Here are some ps to help you gradually build social connec ons.
/ www.newleafnutrition.co.uk
Start small: Take one ac on at a me. Don't worry if you can’t manage much ini ally.
List enjoyable ac vi es: Think about what you used to enjoy or always wanted to try.
Ask for help: Look for local groups or ask friends and family to join you regularly.
Plan thoroughly: Plan your ou ngs to feel more secure and minimise surprises.
Appreciate small interac ons: Be grateful for any small social exchanges.
Stay in touch: Call a friend or family member occasionally. Even a weekly call can make a difference.
Building social connec ons can significantly enhance your quality of life. Start small, be pa ent, and embrace each step towards a more connected and fulfilling life.

Topak Care Supplies
Topak Care Supplies specialises in the sale and hire of home nursing equipment, PPE Supplies living aids and the supply of incon nence products. They have a large showroom and warehouse in Rus ngton and they provide free local delivery to trade and retail customers.
Established in 1998, Topak Care Supplies is a family‐run business dedicated to providing a friendly, personal service. In November last year, Serena Ba y joined owners Nikki and Gary Cooke as an administrator. Coming from a completely different working background, she has been amazed at everything Topak has to offer; whether this is to help yourself around the home or caring for a loved one, Topak Care Supplies can help. Serena works mainly in the office and showroom, helping and advising on items ‐with the help of Nikki and Gary. She is also some mes out in the van with one of the drivers, making deliveries of beds and chairs.
The showroom has so many items on display, ranging from household and kitchen aids to rise and recline chairs for you to try out. It is definitely worth a visit, but if it is difficult to get to us, we can offer over‐the‐phone assessments.
Hiring equipment is great, as lots of customers are some mes unsure of the exact equipment they would like or need. Hiring means you can try before you buy, or you can hire the equipment for as long as you need.
Topak also provides PPE equipment to care homes and has an array of nappies that we supply to nurseries.
Open day at Ferring Dental Prac ce
Over the last 10 years, we have held a number of open days at Ferring Dental Prac ce. Every me it has been a huge pleasure to meet people and to chat to them about their dental experiences and stories, as well as a chance to explain to them about what can be done to help them.
Obviously, we love people to come and join the prac ce, but actually, the reason we do the open day is to serve our community.
Many mes, people come who have not been to the den st for many years for one reason or another. These days, access to a den st has become a big deal for many people who do not have a den st of their own. The open day gives you a chance to ask those ques ons you always wanted to ask and see what we have done to make it a state‐of‐the‐art dental prac ce that doesn’t look like a den st, feel like a den st or smell like a den st.
We’ve invested further in the last year in the prac ce, so we’ve got more stuff to show off. So, if you almost came last year but couldn’t make it, this is your year. Come and visit us, have a drink and chat away. There’s no need to book. Just come along.
On the open day, we promise not to look in your mouth, but you do get to meet most of the team of den sts and hygienists. If you think they are the kind of people you can put your trust in to care for you and your mouth then, as a bonus, new pa ent consulta ons booked on the day are over 1/3rd off at £50. A new pa ent
consulta on lasts 45 minutes and gives you enough me to find out exactly what’s going on in your mouth and to discuss what you want to do about it. It’s well worth it to get peace of mind and maybe a plan to secure your dental health for the long term. We look forward to seeing you on Saturday 21st September at Ferring Dental Prac ce.

Marvellous Microorganisms
by Rachel Leverton
As their name suggests you can’t see them, yet microorganisms are some of the most important things you can grow in your garden.
Garden soil is teeming with millions of them, or rather it should be. They help to keep the soil healthy. They decompose organic ma er, replenish soil nutrients, form humus, promote root growth, increase nutrient uptake, and breakdown herbicides and pes cides.
The microorganism family includes bacteria, algae, fungi, and protozoa and we want to do everything we can to encourage these ny gardening friends.
In order to provide a good environment we need to provide oxygen, moisture, carbon‐based food ma er, and the right temperature and pH.
Oxygen content can be kept high by digging in lots of organic ma er so that the soil structure is aerated. Seventy‐five per cent of microorganisms live in the top two inches (5cm) of soil so par cular care should be taken not to compact the topsoil. Improving the drainage of stodgy clay soil is par cularly important as water‐logged soil contains very li le oxygen.
Mulching helps to improve the moisture content of soil and also helps to maintain the soil temperature.
Carbon‐based food ma er is just a posh way of saying ‘organic ma er’, including green manure and well‐ro ed compost. This provides a gourmet buffet for microorganisms, and they’ll reproduce rapidly.
Finally, pH is probably the most difficult area to tackle. Most gardens have a natural pH range beyond which they’re not going to change much.
But that’s not what we’re trying to achieve when crea ng a favourable environment for microorganisms. We don’t need to radically shi the pH; we just need to modify it slightly. There are pH modifiers on the market, but the best way of doing it is slowly by digging in compost or other organic ma er.
This month, give some thought to encouraging your microorganisms. Your plants will thank you. Happy Gardening.
The Goring And Ilex Conserva on Group
Conserving the beauty and present character of Ilex Avenue, the trees in Sea Lane and the Goring Gap
Group AGM
At our AGM on 19th September at 7.30pm in the Church Hall in Bury Drive, Goring, our speaker, John Oliver from the RSPB, will give a talk tled “Predator: Birds of Prey at Pulborough Brooks”. We hope you enjoy it.
Part of our AGM is also the annual elec on of the commi ee. If you would like to be involved, please let us know, preferably beforehand or on the night.
Housing Targets
The proposed revised Na onal Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and other changes to the planning system is out for open consulta on un l 24th September.
Within the documents, a different formula for calcula ng housing targets raises the annual targets for Worthing from 322 dwellings per year to 862, also making these mandatory.
Jus fying lower figures due to local constraints (such as the sea and Na onal Park) would become more difficult. We wait to see what effect this has on the Chatsmore Farm Inquiry. Conserva on Areas
Earlier this year, we commented on a proposed review to the Goring Hall conserva on area. Worthing Borough Council has now adopted the updated Conserva on Area Character Appraisals for Goring Hall, Steyne Gardens and a new conserva on area formally designated at Marine Gardens and environs. These are available to view on the council’s website.
The Planta on and Ilex Avenue
Twenty‐one volunteers a ended our last session, during which we concentrated our efforts on removing the brambles around the young trees and clearing the edges of the pathways. We also cleared several of the larger sycamore spurs.
Our efforts do make a difference in managing this woodland, so please take a walk through this lovely area, which is there for all to enjoy.
Our volunteers again collected li er, and we know that other groups, and indeed many local people, also regularly undertake this task.
Regre ully, the Perspex on our no ce board was vandalised, so one of our volunteers temporarily repaired the hole to prevent water damage to the no ces inside. In due course, the Perspex sheet will be replaced.
While many of our volunteers work diligently in The Planta on, they also perform other du es, including organising and planning The Planta on sessions, keeping the no ce board updated, keeping our container dy, and keeping the tools clean and maintained. So, if you wish to help us in these areas, please get in touch with us.
At forthcoming sessions, we will prepare an area for bulb plan ng, spread woodchip (if we are lucky enough to receive any!), and monitor our bird boxes.
Our two‐hour sessions are usually held on the second Saturday of each month, mee ng off Amberley Drive at the sports field at 10am. The next sessions are on Saturdays 14th September; 12th October and 9th November but do check our website for details of any date changes.
New, and past, volunteers are always welcome, and there are tasks to suite all abili es. While gloves and all equipment are provided, we appreciate that many individuals prefer to bring their own gloves (and some even prefer to use their own secateurs), which is absolutely fine. However, we do request that you wear suitable clothing (shorts are not recommended) and footwear. We take a short break at 11am for refreshments and we provide coffee, tea, biscuits, and very o en homemade cake (provided by our regular volunteers).
Further informa on about the group can be found on the no ce board at The Planta on, and on www.ilex‐conserva on‐group.co.uk. You can also call John Daley on 01903 216071.
The Seaside Town of Grape and Fig
William Sams 1848‐1937, Nurseryman and Town Councillor, Heene Cemetery Resident
At the turn of the last century, Worthing was known as “the Seaside Town of Grape and Fig”. If you look at a map of the area at the time you will see vast areas of glasshouses to the east and west of the town. We were known for growing the best tomatoes, exotic fruit and flowers.
Among the many market gardeners was William Sams who, along with his partner George Beer, developed the largest glasshouses in the county.
William established his business in Manor Road. On the east side he had The Vineries and on the west The Field Nurseries. Fruit was grown for the overseas market and for the Royal table at Buckingham Palace.
William was born in Great Bardfield, Essex and followed his father into market gardening. He moved to London where he married Betsy Beeson in 1874. She was the daughter of a publican. The couple moved to Worthing where William established his business. William and Betsy had six children, including William Jonathan who eventually took over the running of the business. The family first lived at Stortford House on the corner of St Michael’s and Manor Road. Later they moved to The Elms in Boundary Road. This was just to the south of The Vineries. William’s neighbours included Sir Thomas Skinner, who lived at The Gables (later Gifford House), and Mr Rodocanachi, who lived across the road at Chios (later Manor Lea).
William threw himself into local life, serving at Heene church as a warden, and working as a town councillor until 1920. He was also vice‐chair of the East Preston Board of Guardians, a JP and County Alderman. He turned down the office of Mayor of Worthing and Town Alderman. William’s wife Betsy died in 1924.
Trouble came in 1932 when The Gables was bought for use by the Queen Alexandra Hospital Home. William objected and threatened legal action. He issued a writ to stop The Gables being used as a home. According to Rev. David Farrant’s excellent book on the home, William was “a cantankerous old man and a hard nut to crack”. He had annoyed local residents by putting up a whole market garden of glasshouses behind The Elms. The Town Clerk, Mr Kennedy Allerton, and the Vicar of Heene Rev. Haviland tried to persuade William to withdraw his objections.
Eventually William agreed to sell his home for £4,000, as long as he could stay as a tenant for life. Final agreement was made in 1933 and William stayed in his home until his death in 1937. The Elms became staff quarters for Gifford House and was demolished in 1974. Both nurseries were eventually sold off for housing development and the glasshouses demolished. Nowadays there is very little to remind us of this once thriving industry of which Worthing was so proud.

Royal Visitor Opens Blind Veterans
Her Royal Highness, The Duchess of Edinburgh, visited the Blind Veterans new south coast home in Rus ngton, seeing first‐hand the difference the charity makes to the lives of the blind veterans we support.
Blind Veterans UK Rus ngton Centre Manager
Lesley Garven MBE, said: “A er an ini al phased opening, par cularly ensuring that our small number of permanent residents were se led in, the building is now opera ng at full capacity, welcoming blind veterans from across the country for holidays, themed and ac vity weeks and for specific training and rehabilita on. We had over 80 years of history at our Brighton centre, but we’ve had such a warm welcome from the local community in Rus ngton that I know we’ll be making all new memories here.”
On the tour of the building, The Duchess of Edinburgh met with veterans who served in WWII and blind veteran archers. She also tried her hand at some mosaic making with veterans who enjoy art and cra .
Her Royal Highness also assisted with the ceremonial reburial of a me capsule dug up from our former centre in Brighton and marched to Rus ngton by a group of blind veterans last summer.
The me capsule, buried in 2015 to mark 100 years of Blind Veterans UK, contains items and documents detailing the organisa on’s history. Among them is a talking watch, the first piece of equipment offered to every Blind Veterans UK beneficiary. The capsule will be opened in 2115, 100 years a er it was buried.
The Duchess also unveiled a very special plaque, carved from wood and made by two
blind veterans, Peter and Gary, who have been supported by the charity to con nue their hobby of woodworking.
One of the blind veterans who had the opportunity to meet The Duchess was Alan Walker. Alan started the whole visit off when he was given the responsibility of raising the Royal Standard when the Royal party arrived.
He also had the opportunity to talk to Her Royal Highness in the new gym.
Alan said: “I serve as a standard bearer for Blind Veterans UK, so it really is the ul mate honour to raise that Royal Standard for the me The Duchess of Edinburgh was with us.
“I was also proud to speak to Her Royal Highness and get across the impact the charity has had on me since I lost my sight.”
Alan lost his sight on Christmas Day in 2012. He was hospitalised with a pneumococcal infec on in his eyes and brain, which caused him to become completely blind in his le eye and have only 30 per cent sight in his right.
He began to receive support from Blind Veterans UK in 2013 and since then, we have supported him in retraining as a gym instructor.
He now represents the charity at events na onwide as a standard bearer.
He was also one of a group of blind veterans who contributed to the design and layout of the new Rus ngton Centre.
Bob Smytherman
Worthing and Adur Town Crier
Bob has been the official Town Crier for the Borough of Worthing since 2014 a er an appearance in the community play “The Just Cause”.

Today, the Town Crier’s role largely supports local community and charity events across Worthing and Adur. However, he has also a ended events in Ferring, East Preston, Angmering and Rus ngton, where they don’t have a Town Crier. Bob has lived in his Goring home since the summer of 1991 and is chairman of his residents associa on and Neighbourhood Watch group.

West Sussex Writers
A er a brief period when mee ngs were suspended, West Sussex Writers, which meets in Goring Methodist Church the second Thursday of the month, is now up and running once more and a rac ng new members each month.
Mee ngs include professional speakers, workshops, open mic sessions where members can showcase their wri ng, and other events to advise and encourage new and more experienced writers. Recently, author and journalist Lisa Brace described her wri ng journey and her most recent novel, Swim, which tells the story of Lucy Morton, an almost forgo en swimmer
who won a gold medal at the Paris Olympics in 1924, the first Bri sh woman to do so. The centenary of her remarkable achievement took place at this year’s Olympics, which were again held in Paris.
Lisa also outlined three ways to tackle wri ng a novel. There is ‘wri ng by the seat of your
pants’, also known as ‘pantsing’, when ideas are allowed to flow onto the page; having a loose plan beforehand, or using a ‘Beat Sheet’.

Li lehampton Bonfire Event
Past, Present and Future
Li lehampton first had a bonfire society in 1885. In 1905, during the last parade held by that Victorian society, members dressed as North American Indians quite possibly for the first me. A er that, it was not un l 1952 that the present bonfire society was formed and its first celebra on was held that year to mark the corona on of Queen Elizabeth II.
The society was a huge success and members a ended parades to mark the New Year celebra ons in London, minibuses full of costumed members a ended mee ngs of fellow bonfire socie es throughout Sussex. The event itself was a big hit with hundreds of ac ve members, huge crowds in a endance and much money raised for good causes. Thus, for the past 73 years, the Li lehampton Bonfire Society has put on a fabulous free event on the last Saturday of October a costumed torch‐lit parade through the town featuring local groups with marching bands, dancing children, steam engines, illuminated floats and more. The parade winds through the streets to the green, where an enormous bonfire is lit and an awesome fireworks display lights up the sky. The event brings visitors to the town and local shops, hotels and restaurants benefit from the increased foo all. The event is much loved by local people and crowds are es mated to be in the region of 15,000 to 20,000 people. In recent years, the commi ee has had to cancel the event several mes due to adverse weather and, of course, the pandemic. We are well on course this year for a celebra on on Saturday 26th October. There will be a few changes due to the seafront regenera on works. The route will be changed and parking in the town will be reduced. We urge the public to an cipate this and plan accordingly. And the future? Events of this kind are challenging to put on. They are expensive and health and safety means that corners may not be cut. The organisers of these events love the tradi on of the whole thing and this is a poor fit with today’s environmentally conscious public and officials. Laser light displays, drone displays and electric torches look pre y, but are expensive and lack the tradi on that we love. And organising these events is a labour of love involving many hours of planning and fundraising throughout the year.
Sadly, it seems likely that such events will dwindle and fail.
In Li lehampton our biggest stumbling blocks currently are:
1) raising the >£31,000 needed
2) finding volunteers to help with the street collec on on the night
3) finding marshals to man the road closures
4) managing the ever‐growing complexi es and expense of health and safety requirements
5) an ageing and dwindling membership with a lack of volunteers to fill jobs such as bonfire guarding and clearing up a er the event.
So, how can we save the event? Financial support is vital. You could help with our appeal to the town council for the reinstatement of the service funding agreement. If they are inundated with appeals for support for the bonfire event, maybe they would reconsider for 2025? We do, of course, understand that they are under pressure to make savings and cut costs and maybe they can not help us ‐ but at least if we all appeal, then they will understand the love the people of the town have for this event. Please use the link to tell the council your views: www.li lehampton‐tc.gov.uk/ feedback
We have a crowd‐funding appeal ‐ Just Giving www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/ Li lehamptonBonfire‐2024
If you run a business locally you may be able to sponsor the event ‐ www.li lehamptonbonfiresociety.co.uk/2024/0 5/06/2024‐sponsors/
If you wish to join the society please see www.li lehamptonbonfiresociety.co.uk/ product‐category/memberships/
If you wish to volunteer as a street collector or a marshal please email to Secretary@li lehamptonbonfiresociety.co.uk
By working together, we can save the society and the event.
Na onal Eye Health Week
Highlights Importance of Regular Eye Health Checks
From 23rd to 29th September it’s Na onal Eye Health Week, and 4Sight Vision Support (4SVS) is proud to support this ini a ve, which encourages people to look a er their eyes and have regular eye health checks.
This year, the theme is ‘Vision Really Ma ers’, and 4SVS will be raising awareness and providing informa on about accessing eye health checks and promo ng good eye health in our daily lives.
Regular eye health checks can detect early signs of condi ons, including glaucoma, which can be treated if found soon enough. In addi on, during an eye health check, other health condi ons, such as diabetes or high blood pressure, may be detected. Those living with sight 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. Anyone is welcome to contact the charity if they would like to learn more about what to
look out for or signs, prac cal support and advice, or help with accessing a local op cian. For further informa on contact 4Sight Vision Support on 01243 838001, email fundraising@4Sight.org.uk or visit www.4sight.org.uk
4Sight Vision Support would like to thank corporate partners PMW Communica ons for making these community events possible, and Walsh Op cians, Bognor Regis, for explaining the different tests used as part of having a rou ne eye health check.
Improving Future Healthcare
Could you help healthcare professionals of tomorrow learn about demen a?
Time for Demen a is an innova ve, award‐winning training programme designed to educate undergraduate healthcare professionals to improve their knowledge, a tude and empathy towards people with demen a and their carers.
Local families affected by demen a are being invited to take part in an award‐winning programme to help train the healthcare professionals of tomorrow and improve demen a care.
Alzheimer’s Society is excited to announce that this autumn, a new cohort of University of Chichester Nursing and Physiotherapy students will be taking part. We are now seeking families in the area who would like the opportunity to make a difference to training health professionals.
The concept of Time for Demen a is to give undergraduate healthcare students a chance to meet with a family living with demen a over me, to get to know them, see how demen a affects them, and see the changes and challenges they may face over me.
This unique way of learning gives students the opportunity to discover answers they won’t find in a textbook and enhance their professional development, therefore, improving future healthcare. Students meet with the same family for all five Time for Demen a visits over two academic years.
If you would like to know more about the programme, or you know someone with demen a and a family carer who would like to take part, please get in touch with us at mefordemen a@alzheimers.org.uk or call Louisa Young on 07738 741389.
One Moment for One Crew
Li lehampton RNLI takes part in special 200th anniversary photo moment
On Thursday 1st August, Royal Na onal Lifeboat Ins tu on (RNLI) representa ves from Li lehampton par cipated in a special photo moment – One Moment for One Crew – to create a photographic record of those involved with the lifesaving charity in this, its 200th anniversary year.
The charity, which was founded in 1824, asked its volunteers and staff from around the UK and Ireland to take a photo of themselves, their crew or their team, at as close to 18:24 on 1.8.24 as possible.
Whether lifeguards on a beach, lifeboat crew at a sta on, fundraisers at an event, or volunteers in a museum – all involved with the charity have been encouraged to submit a photo of themselves represen ng their RNLI role at wherever they may be on this date and me.
Representa ves including lifeboat crew, shore crew, launch authori es, fundraisers, shop volunteers, visits officers and water safety crew from Li lehampton RNLI took part. The photos have been uploaded to an online portal and will be used to create a montage image.
Everyone from Li lehampton RNLI gathered outside Li lehampton Lifeboat Sta on, in Li lehampton Harbour, with the sta on’s two lifeboats – Renee Sherman and Ray of Hope –for the historic moment.
The RNLI celebrated its 200th anniversary on 4th March this year, and this photographic moment is one of a range of events and programmes which the charity has organised to mark its bicentenary.
Anjie Rook, RNLI Associate Director, who is overseeing the RNLI’s 200th anniversary programmes, says: “The RNLI has been saving lives at sea for 200 years thanks to its incredible people – the courageous lifeboat crews and lifeguards who put their own lives at risk to save others; the dedicated fundraisers who raise the income to power those rescues; the commi ed volunteers who give their own me in a range of other roles such as giving out water safety advice or helping to run our retail shops and museums, and the staff who provide vital support to our volunteers.”
“We have encouraged anyone who has some form of involvement with the RNLI to par cipate in this special One Moment for One Crew photographic event, to capture a record of everyone who, at this moment in me, is playing some part in the RNLI’s lifesaving work, con nuing its legacy and securing its future.
“During our 200th anniversary year, we have been remembering our past, celebra ng the lifesaving service we provide today, and aiming to inspire future genera ons of lifesavers and supporters. One Moment for One Crew is very much about celebra ng the people of today’s RNLI and, we hope, inspiring those future genera ons who will take the RNLI into its third century of lifesaving.”
Since the RNLI was founded in 1824, its volunteer crews and lifeguards have saved over 146,000 lives, which equates to an average of two lives saved every day for 200 years.
Founded in a London tavern on 4th March 1824 following an appeal from Sir William Hillary, who lived on the Isle of Man and witnessed many shipwrecks, the RNLI has con nued saving lives at sea throughout the past two centuries. Today, it operates 238 lifeboat sta ons around the UK and Ireland, including four on the River Thames, and has seasonal lifeguards on 238 lifeguarded beaches around the UK. It designs and builds its own lifeboats and runs domes c and interna onal water safety programmes.

Li lehampton Shopmobility has moved!
A er over 25 years at our former premises in St Mar n’s Lane, Li lehampton Shopmobility had to move out over the Easter weekend; this was due to our former landlord’s wish to sell the property.
Our new address is 92 High Street, Li lehampton BN17 5AG and we are now in the Manor House Car Park, just in front of the Li lehampton Town Council & Museum. We thank Arun District Council for saving our charity from closing altogether by ren ng their premises to us.
Li lehampton Shopmobility is a local independent charity that is supported by grants, dona ons and fundraising. We specialise in providing good value mobility solu ons to meet our members’ needs.
We hire scooters, wheelchairs and rollators. Scooter training outside is a must for first‐ me users to ensure their safety and the safety of the general public. Our services are open to the disabled and temporarily disabled, to locals and holiday‐makers. All scooter users must be 16 years or older. We have a modest annual membership charge and we endeavour to keep costs to a minimum to be affordable to everyone.
You will discover our scooters are all named a er trustees, volunteers and customers both past and present, who have helped the charity and we have greatly appreciated the work they have freely donated to us.
Our scooters are suitable for the majority of users and occasions and some of our scooters are portable, so small enough to fit in the boot of a car, thus providing members with the freedom to go far and wide. Medical appointments, local a rac ons, ge ng your hair done, breeze along the seafront or simply to go shopping we have the solu ons to meet your needs.
Our equipment is well‐maintained and regularly updated to ensure reliability.
Whatever your needs, we are here to help and offer free informa on and advice.
We also sell many disability aids through our supplier, Clearwell Mobility. If there is an item that a customer has seen in the free Clearwell catalogue, we can order it for delivery to our shop. In the catalogue, there are o en two prices on items; the prices in brackets are for those en tled to VAT exemp on and providing the customer signs the VAT exemp on form, they can then pay the lower price.
There is quite a list of VAT long‐term illnesses and many customers are not aware they are en tled to pay the lesser amount – the most used long‐term illnesses are arthri s, asthma and diabetes, for some examples.
Another service we offer is the compe vely priced Pit Stop vale ng service by appointment only, as some scooter owners cannot clean their scooters themselves.
Please check out our new Facebook page, which is now named Shopmobility Li lehampton as unfortunately our previous Facebook page of many years was hacked. If you want to hire a vehicle, contact us on email li lehampton.shopmobility@gmail.com or call 01903 733004
Colonnade House to be transformed
into a more accessible and sustainable venue
Worthing’s Colonnade House art gallery and crea ve studio space is to be transformed into a more accessible, sustainable building. Since opening in 2016, Colonnade House has hosted hundreds of crea ves from across the region and provided a space where people can connect, collaborate and be inspired.
The crea ve space in Warwick Street is owned by Worthing Borough Council, which manages it in partnership with Adur & Worthing Trust, a charity that promotes arts, culture and heritage across the area.
Originally built in the early 1800s as a library and post office, the building was reborn as a crea ve hub following the council's successful applica on to the government’s Coastal Communi es Fund in 2014.
Today Colonnade House is at full capacity, with two gallery spaces, ten studios and a programme of ac vity filled with gi ed and exci ng individuals. However, the facility is in need of investment to ensure it remains safe, fit for purpose and can con nue to serve the cultural community.
The council will upgrade the building with the help of a grant of more than £460,000 from Arts Council England. The council will also contribute more than £40,000 to the project.
The plans include repairs to the roof, the crea on of an accessible entrance system and redesigning the building's exterior to include a compos ng area and green space. A host of sustainable measures are also included, such as installing solar panels and triple glazing, and replacing the current hea ng system with ground source heat pumps.
Cllr Rita Garner, Worthing’s cabinet member for culture and leisure, said: “Colonnade House has con nued to serve the crea ve community each year, and this funding will allow us to make some important changes to improve accessibility and ensure the historic building has a sustainable future.
“I’d like to thank Arts Council England for rewarding our applica on and suppor ng the wealth of crea ve talent in and around Worthing.”
Edwards, South East Area Director, Arts Council England, said: “Through this Capital Investment Programme, we are bolstering cultural investment in communi es throughout the South East.
“By enhancing the infrastructure of cultural spaces across the region we are expanding access to arts, culture, and crea ve pursuits. We are also suppor ng cultural organisa ons in becoming more inclusive, reducing their carbon footprint, and enhancing their digital capabili es.
“We are delighted that together, we can nurture a more vibrant and accessible cultural landscape for all.”
Karen Simporis, Chair of the Adur & Worthing Trust, said: “It’s great news that Arts Council England has awarded the council a substan al capital grant to refurbish Colonnade House ‐ an award which will secure its future as the cultural hub of Worthing.”
The project to transform Colonnade House is due to begin in Summer 2025 and is expected to be complete by Spring 2026. It's hoped the works will cause minimal disrup on so crea ves can con nue using the gallery and studio space during the upgrade.

Li lehampton Fridge Needs a New Home!
It was a busy summer for the volunteers at the Li lehampton Community Fridge. Come rain or shine, teams of volunteers were out reducing food waste by collec ng surplus food from stores across the area, delivering it to St James Church Hall and processing it ready for our customers.
In addi on, summer holiday kids’ clubs benefi ed from surplus bread, fruit and vegetables as food was made available to the families who joined in various holiday ac vi es in schools, churches and outdoors with Freedom Leisure’s Ac ve Play team. Meanwhile, the fortnightly community café LA Second Chance served delicious meals on a pay‐as‐you‐feel basis, using the high‐quality surplus food rescued by our collectors. We now urgently need a new home. Our me at St James is rapidly coming to an end as the building and church are set to close permanently soon. We would be very happy to hear from any organisa on willing to rent space it doesn’t use during the day, a sports club for example, or a building with an underused area such as a warehouse.
Manager Sarah Renfrey says: “It will be a tragedy if we can no longer con nue to provide a service to so many people and businesses due to the lack of suitable premises. We are willing to look at anything that can save the project from having to close at the end of the year.”
If you know of a space or have any ideas for a poten al loca on, contact us on our Facebook page Li lehampton Community Fridge, email info@faredivide.org.uk or call and leave a message on 0300 0309376.
The Li lehampton Community Fridge was the first to be set up as part of the West Sussex Community Fridge Network. Anyone can come, and take five items per adult per day (plus bread). We hope we can con nue to prevent surplus food from being wasted and suppor ng our community for many more years to come!
