Holly CoƩage, Church Lane, Ferring £900,000 OIRO 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 recepƟon rooms James & James Estate Agents are delighted to bring to the market this 18th century home believed to have once belonged to the notorious John Oliver, a miller, who was born in Worthing around 1709 and is thought to have had dealings with or led a band of local smugglers. His tomb now sits at the top of Highdown.

This home dates back to 1759. Holly Co age is one of Ferring’s most historic period homes in the very heart of the village.

The co age sits on a corner site opposite the Medieval church of St Andrews. There are mature gardens on three sides benefi ng from well‐stocked and managed borders that provide a stunning display during the spring and summer. A mature wisteria decorates the side eleva on. A vegetable patch and a new po ng shed are found at the rear of the plot.

There is also a detached garage with a pitched le roof and window, offering further versa lity and possible development op ons, subject to the normal planning procedures. A gravel driveway to the side provides ample off‐road parking.

Steeped in the history of a bygone era, this wonderful 18th century co age with its exposed beams, original brickwork, sash windows and predominantly flint construc on has been tastefully modernised to create an elegant harmony between the old and new. It will make a wonderful and unique home for anyone wishing to live in this very desirable coastal West Sussex loca on.

Ferring's Future: Beehive Care Invites You to Thrive Together!

Beehive Care, formerly known as Abbeyfield Ferring, has been a cornerstone of compassionate care in Ferring for almost 50 years. With a recent rebranding that reflects its heritage and commitment to the community, Beehive Care continues to thrive. Helen Holt, editor of the All about Magazines, chats with Jacqui Swindells, CEO of Beehive Care, as she discusses the exciting changes and what they mean for the future of care in Ferring.

Helen: As CEO of Beehive Care, formerly Abbeyfield Ferring, could you shed some light on the motivation behind the recent rebranding?

Jacqui: Certainly. The decision to transition to Beehive Care marks an exciting chapter in our organisation’s journey. While our roots at Abbeyfield Ferring run deep, we felt it was time to embrace a name that reflects our ethos and the essence of our community. Beehive Care encapsulates our commitment to providing nurturing and supportive care, much like bees in a hive, where every resident is valued and supported.

Helen: Fascinating analogy! How does the new name tie into Beehive Care’s long‐standing history in Ferring?

Jacqui: The connection is profound. Our original site, Cornwell House, has been a pillar of the Ferring community since its establishment in 1976. Situated on Beehive Lane, our roots are deeply intertwined with the locality. The name Beehive not only pays homage to our geographical origins but also symbolises the interconnectedness and cohesion we strive to foster among our services, customers, residents, and staff.

12

Helen: Impressive legacy indeed. With this transition, how does Beehive Care plan to continue serving the Ferring community?

Jacqui: Our dedication to Ferring remains unwavering. We pride ourselves on being an integral part of the community, and our commitment to providing compassionate care tailored to the needs of our residents remains unchanged. Through strong partnerships with local healthcare providers and organisations, we aim to enhance the well‐being of our residents and facilitate their active participation in community life.

Helen: Thank you for your insights, Jacqui.

Beehive Care's transition certainly promises an exciting future for the Ferring community.

Jacqui: Thank you for having me. We look forward to continuing our journey of growth and nurturing as Beehive Care. Join us and thrive with us.

Arun Art Society Annual ExhibiƟon Thursday 11th, Friday 12th July 10am to 5pm, Saturday 13th July 10am to 4pm The group’s annual exhibi on in Ferring Bap st Church, which takes place during the Ferring Village Fes val, is a celebra on of the artwork achieved by a membership that brings together experienced ar sts, those returning to drawing and pain ng a er a long absence, or beginners who are keen to embark upon the wonderful business of making art.

Members work on a broad variety of themes, from the local West Sussex landscape and further afield to s ll life and portraiture, which includes animals and pets, as demonstrated in the poster for this year’s exhibi on. The simple shapes combined with the use of line and a limited pale e convey the relaxed posture of a family pet and is an example of the many different approaches that can be adopted to express a subject. Members work in a variety of media, o en in an experimental fashion. One person even brings along modelling clay.

Working alongside like‐minded people and witnessing first‐hand how others employ their know‐how and crea vity is what contributes to the friendly and encouraging atmosphere of 14

the classes, and persuades individuals to further their own skills and ideas.

The Society also arranges demonstra ons and workshops throughout the year, occasionally in partnership with Arundel Art Society, and organises weekly outdoor sessions during the summer months. This year, an art trip has been organised to the Kingcombe Visitor Centre in Dorset, which offers access to the River Hooke and the Kingcombe Nature Reserve.

Arun Art Society meets in Ferring Village Hall each Wednesday from 10am to midday, from September to May. There is a weekly outdoor programme from June to September. For further details please contact arunartsociety@gmail.com

CHILD ARRANGEMENTS ORDERS (CAO) CAOs are designed to regulate with whom a child is to live with and/or spend time with.

Each CAO is decided on the circumstances of the individual family and what is in the best interests of the child(ren). This is governed by Section 8 of the Children Act 1989.

When parents separate or divorce, it is important to prioritise the needs of their children. A family lawyer can help parents to reach agreements on a child’s living arrangements. When an agreement cannot be reached, a range of dispute resolution approaches can be used, including mediation, collaborative law and arbitration prior to making an Application to Court, where a judge will rule on child arrangements.

E J Moyle LLP Solicitors can provide expert advice and guide you through the options available in reaching agreement or, if necessary, the Court process.

We can also advise in relation to divorce, separation, childcare proceedings, adoption, wardship, domestic violence and injunctions.

Jumping on the Bandwagon Richard Cohen, FPFS ACII MCSI Chartered Financial Planner

Nsure Financial Services 01903 821010 Last month we explored the thought process behind whether buying at peaks was a credible investment op on. This month, I think it would be valuable to inves gate an alterna ve. This isn’t an ar cle about necessarily trying to buy at the lowest market valua on but more about not ge ng carried away with price rises and feeling that you may be ge ng le behind.

Imagine a er all your research that you deemed an investment a poor choice at £1 per share, what would significantly change your mind if those shares started selling for £1.50?

New technology, funding, profit and infrastructure are all reasons a company may be worth more today than it was yesterday.

However, in my experience, most of the me novice investors don’t care about such things and buy purely on the fact that it has increased.

Understanding what you’re inves ng in is a key component to ge ng it right more than wrong or at least being comfortable with the risk you are taking. One reason not to jump in is just because something has already gone up in value. In short, don’t get carried away, don’t jump on the same bandwagon that everyone else is just because it seems to be moving in a posi ve direc on, take me to analyse your investment opportunity and always look at the risks associated with it or get a professional do this for you.

My top Ɵps: Invest for the long term. Don’t invest just because something is going up. Likewise, don’t sell just because something is going down. Consider why you’re making the investment. Remember, there is a big difference between gambling and inves ng.

As always, if you would like to talk anything through in more detail, feel free to get in touch.

Could you open your home to a foster cat?

The Worthing Cat Welfare Trust (WCWT) team sees many heartbreaking sights, but to see a cat struggling to adjust to life after rescue can be particularly distressing. Our registered charity rehomes up to 300 cats a year. Many flourish under our care before leaving for new loving homes.

Sadly, others remain frightened and bewildered, so their trauma can make it much more challenging to find them a suitable home.

Some cats simply retreat into themselves and hide. Others may hiss and swipe to mask their fear. These cats need patience, compassion and care to flourish.

Although our phenomenal cat welfare teams always go the extra mile, there are often no easy answers. That’s why fostering is often such a winner.

Worthing Cat Welfare Trust Chair Joss Loader said: “Experience has shown us that many of these distressed cats are able to show their personality and to come out of their shell in a foster home. For many, it will bring back their sociable and friendly character, while others simply aren’t able to make this step and remain introverted with little or no desire for interaction with humans. This is where fostering comes in, as we can gauge the best type of home going forward.”

The reasons for identifying a cat as suitable for fostering fall broadly into two areas and our welfare team rely on their experience and expertise to identify the best way forward.

Firstly, some cats may be recovering from physical injuries or illnesses. While the charity offers full veterinary support and after‐care, there may be a period of recuperation that is best managed in a kind foster home prior to permanent adoption.

20

The other common need for fostering relates to behavioural and psychological issues.

Joss said: “Some of our cats have been subjected to human cruelty or neglect. Not surprisingly, these poor animals have built up a mistrust of humanity and it becomes increasingly unlikely that an adopter will choose one over a friendly cat purring in the adjacent pen. On the flip side, some cats are companionable and love human company. They may also find it difficult to adjust to life in a pen and desperately want to get back to home life.”

Can you help? We are currently looking to strengthen the team by recruiting new fosterers. We can cover all food, litter and veterinary bills if you have a secure space for a cat to adjust, flourish and thrive.

To find out more about fostering and how you could help, please visit our website www.worthingcatwelfaretrust.org/foster‐for‐ us/ Or call 07838 379599.

Microchipping: WCWT is reminding pet owners that all cats must be microchipped by law by 10th June.

How to Be Prepared Stephen Sampson, Head of Private Client at Monan Gozze LLP and an expert in Wills and Inheritance Tax, looks at what arrangements you should have in place in later life.

Decades ago, when I was a Cub Scout, “Be Prepared” was the mo o we all tried to follow.

But the same slogan could be applied to later life.

Make a Will

Here is a list of some of the prac cal steps you can take to be prepared for loss of capacity and passing away to make the job of your nearest and dearest a lot easier.

If you have a Will, make sure it is up to date and that you know where the original is kept. As you may remember from my previous ar cle, changes to tax rules mean that Wills made before 2008 need to be reviewed urgently and even Wills made before April 2017 should be checked.

Make LasƟng Powers of AƩorney

Organise Your Paperwork

If you do not have Las ng Powers of A orney in place and you become incapable, your next of kin is in for a long and expensive wait before the Court of Protec on will give them authority to make decisions.

If you have Las ng Powers of A orney in place, check with your A orney that they know your wishes and are s ll happy to act as your A orney.

Make a Funeral Plan Paying for your funeral in advance or having an insurance policy or savings in place to cover your funeral costs is good, but not enough.

You should consider your wishes for the funeral itself: buried or cremated? Religious or non‐religious? And so on. A local funeral director will be able to go through all the decisions hat need to be made and record your wishes in wri ng.

Make sure all your paperwork is sorted and in date order. At a me when rela ves and friends are grieving, their job is made a lot harder if they have to hunt high and low for your important documents.

I recommend keeping a folder with a copy of your Will, Powers of A orney, funeral plan, and details of pensions, bank accounts, investments, insurance policies and bills in it. This then serves as a handy star ng point for your Executor or your A orney.

And finally…

Make sure your Executor and your A orney know where to find these documents!

If you do not have an up‐to‐date Will or Las ng Powers of A orney, please get in touch to book a free ini al appointment at our Arundel office or your home. You can contact me by calling Monan Gozze LLP on 01903 927055 or by email to ssampson@monangozze .com

A Mysterious Change of Name Mary Jane Dunn Vaughan 1839‐1926, Heene Cemetery Resident Mary was born in Preston, Lancashire, the daughter of George Heathcote and his wife Ellen. The family lived in Main Spirit Wiend, which was an alley in the centre of the town. The name related to cock figh ng and the wiend was also known as Minspi Lane, Cockpit Alley or Pe ycoat Alley.

George was a librarian and postman. By 1861, the family had moved to Fishergate Hill and taken in the local curate as a boarder. On 22nd April 1868, Mary married William Turner Dunn and moved to Manchester. Her husband worked as an agent for a sewing machine manufacturer and, for a while, all seemed well.

The couple had two girls, Annie and Minnie and William began working for a draper in the city.

In 1872, William was arrested for the of silk and wool from his employer. He was caught trying to sell the items in a local pub while drunk and was sent for trial, receiving a sentence of 15 months hard labour. This was the beginning of a downhill slope for William.

Mary le her home with the children and moved in with a stone mason and his family in Lytham. She took a job as a nurse and changed her surname to Vaughan. There doesn’t seem to be any reason why she chose this name.

Perhaps it was so William would be unable to find her when he le prison.

The records in the 1880s show William was a vagrant and beggar in Norfolk, Buckinghamshire, Portsmouth and finally London. He served several prison terms during this me either for the or begging. By 1896, William was a chronic alcoholic suffering from pleurisy.

The last entry for him was in May 1896 in Bow Road Infirmary. He discharged himself and then disappeared. There seems to be no record of his death.

In 1889, Mary’s daughter Minnie married George Culver, an op cian. On her marriage cer ficate, her father is described as deceased.

Ten years later, she was a widow with two children, George Harold, who became a fruit grower and Doris. Mary and Minnie moved to Worthing before 1911, living at 24 Eton Road.

Mary died on 20th April 1926. She le no will.

Her funeral service took place at St Andrew’s church on Victoria Road and again at Heene.

So it was only when they shut down den stry for the Covid lockdown that it suddenly hit the news that we all need access to a den st. Even if you are one of those who don’t want to go normally, you want to know we’re here for you when you break something or get pain.

With a new government of whatever persuasion I can guarantee that dental services will not be front and centre of day one on the job. That’s the reality. I worked for 25 years in the NHS and, in the end, decided that I had to invest my money into delivering the best possible dental care for pa ents. I couldn’t rely on someone else to make it happen and many pa ents are making the same choices, for regardless of the choppy poli cal weather. You can’t wait for any government to care enough about your dental health.

So we set up the subscrip on membership to allow those who choose to make Ferring Dental Prac ce or Abbots Lodge Dental Prac ce their den st to have access to our services, come what may. Whether you need us once a year or once a month, we’re here for you.

We want to make sure we catch poten al problems early, maintain your oral health and keep you in the best possible shape. That’s all covered in the membership. When there’s treatment to be done, the costs are massively discounted as the subscrip on from our members covers much of the costs of keeping the place open for you when you need us.

Added to that, if you are away and have a problem, it’s not a problem. There is worldwide assistance available to find you a den st and cover the costs of emergency treatment.

In order to ensure we can give you the level of service you expect and we aspire to, we have a limited number of subscrip on membership spaces and although there are s ll spaces available they are filling up. So please don’t delay. Join us and secure your place. If you have never been to us before you are welcome to join us too. You just need to have a new pa ent consulta on, which will give you a clear idea of what’s going on in your mouth and you can then join up. The benefits of subscribing start straight away.

If you are in the Ferring area, give us a call on 01903 246858 or make an appointment online at www.ferringdental.co.uk.

Or if you are near Rus ngton, give us a call on 01903 783154 or make an appointment online at www.abbotslodge.com

Feeling the Heat?

Keep Your Cool ‐ Give Your Lo a First‐Class Upgrade!

As temperatures rise, insula on is probably the last thing on your mind. However, A la Minor, owner of Access4Lo s – Worthing, explains how important it is to ensure your home is well‐ insulated, whatever the weather. “Not only is it necessary from both an energy‐saving and environmental perspec ve; insula on isn’t solely designed to retain heat, it limits the amount of heat that can travel through the roof – helping to keep your home cooler in summer as well.”

“The cost of living is a major concern for everyone. Energy bills can be reduced all year round if your home is properly insulated,” says A la. “With your home remaining cooler in summer, it makes it less likely you’ll need to use high energy consuming appliances, such as air condi oners too.”

According to the State of the UK Climate 2022 report, the country’s temperature extremes are changing much faster than the global averages.

The report states that 2022 was the warmest year on record and saw a new all‐ me temperature record during the July heatwave, both of which were made more likely by human ‐induced climate change. It also warns that this could be a sign of things to come.

If you’ve not taken steps towards insula ng your house, not only does that mean you’re ge ng bigger bills than you should be, you’re poten ally contribu ng much more than you need to towards greenhouse gas emissions and increasing your carbon footprint.

While Access4Lo s specialises in supplying and installing lo ladders, hatches and boarding, it also offers lo insula on. Access4Lo s is fully commi ed to providing you with lo insula on that is not only prac cal and affordable but also meets the very highest environmental

28

standards. All insula on installa ons comply with the recommended standards of the Na onal Insula on Associa on. There’s no need to worry about how this might affect your lo access, either. You can s ll access your lo for storage once it has been insulated, because Access4Lo s’ expert techniques ensure any storage solu on is fi ed above your lo insula on.

Insula on installa on could represent a significant saving on your energy bills and a big step in the right direc on when it comes to your household’s impact on climate change.

It could also be cheaper than you think! Not only that, but it’s an investment, too. You’ll more than make your money back in what you save on your bills. It is also worth checking with your energy supplier to see if they have any grants available to you.

To find out how Access4Lo s can give your lo that First‐Class Upgrade, call A la now on 01903 380190 to book a free survey and quota on. Alterna vely, visit www.access4lo s.co.uk/Worthing or go to Facebook @Access4Lo sWorthing

Summer Food Changeover Nathalie Sansonetti BA, MA, DNN, Dip AIT Nutritional Therapist & Health Coach, New Leaf Nutrition 07980 620010 / nathalie@newleafnutrition.co.uk / www.newleafnutrition.co.uk Have you no ced how your body naturally tends to crave comfort foods in the winter and lighter foods in the summer?

During summer, your body temperature will slightly increase with the external heat and longer hours of daylight.

As usual, always follow your ins ncts when it comes to nourishment, and seasonal changes are a great example of when this needs to happen. So here is what I would recommend as we get closer to the summer:  Listen to your body and assess if it absolutely needs breakfast. This may be a good me to experiment with intermi ent fas ng (IF).

Cau on! Women need to follow different IF schedules than men, whether s ll menstrua ng or not. Menstrua ng? No fas ng the week before your period.

All ladies: alternate IF days with ‘normal’ breakfast days, randomly through the month. Always listen to and don’t ignore your hunger levels.  Swap cooked produce and food with more lightly cooked, steamed and raw fruit and vegetables. This is the me of year when your diges ve system should be strong enough to eat raw foods, as opposed to the middle of winter when it’s less capable of that.  Rainbow ea ng! This season is ripe with colourful produce, so don’t hold back on filling at least half of your plate with colour.

These are naturally rich in an oxidants and fibre, so your immune system and guts will thrive.

Have an energised, light, beau ful summer!

Shakespeare at Highdown, 2004 Yes, Rainbow Shakespeare are back, doing what they do best, in Worthing’s magical Highdown gardens. The professional Company have been acclaimed as the ‘jewel in Worthing’s crown ‘ and they have been producing enjoyable, understandable Shakespeare produc ons for all the family for 25 years.

Their first assay into the Bard was Twel h Night, performed under the Lido. Gale force winds tended to blow bits of actors’ beards off towards Brighton, and the incoming de added excitement to audience members in their deck chairs! The Company was then invited to perform in Highdown Gardens, which has been their home ever since.

These amazing chalk gardens have undergone a vast makeover, and the results are awe‐ inspiring. Not for nothing they are known as one of Sussex’s best‐kept secrets! Rainbow Shakespeare love the month they spend there in the open air, amid a vast range of flowers and trees, pu ng on the shows.

This year, their first offering is A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Director Nick Young believes it to be the best comedy ever wri en. However o en you watch it, it never fails to delight.

“Each me I direct it, I find new things,” comments Nick. “Last me I overheard a six‐year‐old saying to his mother as they le ‘Oh mummy did that man Shakespeare write any more plays like that?’ Comments like that make all our hard work so rewarding.”

This year sees the return of audience favourite and great comic actor Peter McCrohon, playing the part of Bo om, who is changed into an ass and with whom Titania, the Queen of the Fairies, falls helplessly in love!

32

An added treat will be the fairies played by local children. Shakespeare under the stars will enchant a six‐year‐old as much as the most senior Bard aficionado. The produc on runs from the 9th to the 14th July at 7.30pm with ma nees on Saturday and Sunday.

The Winter’s Tale is the second show that plays from the 16th to the 21st July. Both plays deal with the theme of jealousy. Oberon’s jealous of wife, Titania. However, in The Winter’s Tale, the green‐eyed goddess plays a darker role.

Leontes, the King of Sicily and his wife are entertaining his oldest friend, Polixenes the King of Bohemia, when suddenly he becomes irra onally jealous. His mad fury creates a thrilling plot, including (spoiler alert!) the apparent death of his wife. The second half moves forward 16 years, and becomes a glorious comedy, un l we arrive at a happy conclusion. The Winter’s Tale has some of the most moving as well as most amusing scenes in all Shakespeare. Ross Muir returns to reprise his acclaimed performance as the jealous King. This produc on runs from 16th to the 21st July.

Tickets can be purchased in advance through Worthing Theatres box office on 01903 206206 or via their website www.wtm.uk or at the gate, which opens at 6pm (or 1pm Ma nees) for those lucky picnickers!

Fancy Foliage by Rachael Leverton We all love flowers. They’re what gardening is all about and the fact that they’re rela vely short‐lived makes them extra‐special.

But my garden can’t survive on flowers alone.

It needs to look a rac ve all year round, which is where friendly foliage plants come into their own.

Many non‐evergreen plants have beau ful showy foliage between April and November, and we’d be mad not to take full advantage of it. Rodgersia pinnata is an excellent example of this. It has huge, a rac ve bronze, leathery leaves, which are almost sculptural in appearance. As a bonus, it sends up feathery cream flowers in the summer.

Hostas have truly beau ful leaves, but I’ve tried and failed with them on many occasions because my garden is home to a race of hosta‐ chomping super slugs. Mostly, though, I now plant them in pots armed with copper rings.

Slugs hate copper and my hostas can now grow (mostly) unmolested.

Hostas do like moist soil, so if yours is on the dry side, work in plenty of compost or manure at plan ng me and mulch well, preferably with something sharp to act as a deterrent to the slimy brigade.

I have had much more success with ferns.

They are the most useful plant for shade.

My favourite is the ostrich‐plume fern, Ma euccia struthiopteris. Plant them under trees and shrubs and watch the stunning lime‐green foliage unfold each spring.

Many people overlook grasses when they think about foliage, but there are some seriously a rac ve varie es out there. Try Miscanthus sinensis “Zebrinus.” The leaves look like green ribbons, striped with yellow and reach chest height. Cut it down to ground level each February.

Finally, if you have the space for a real in‐your‐face fancy foliage, try the golden‐ leaved Catalpa bignonioides “Aurea”. Grow it as a large bush. Prune each stem back to a sprou ng bud around knee height each spring and mulch with manure at the same me. It will reward you with leaves as big as frisbees!

Now that’s really fancy foliage.

Happy gardening.

The Goring And Ilex ConservaƟon Group Conserving the beauty and present character of Ilex Avenue, the trees in Sea Lane and the Goring Gap Group AGM A date for your diaries – we have arranged for this year’s AGM to be on Thursday 19th September at 7.30pm in the Church Hall in Bury Drive, Goring. We are pleased to have secured John Oliver from the RSPB to be our speaker for the evening.

Sewage Spills Much to the fore recently, the problems of sewage spills from overloaded systems have prompted the countryside charity CPRE Sussex to launch a new campaign calling for upgrades to sewers and water treatment works before significant new housing development begins.

Planning targets At the me of wri ng this ar cle, the elec on is s ll a month away. Depending on who is successful, we may see local housing targets becoming compulsory again. It is unfortunate that the Chatsmore Farm planning inquiry was postponed un l later this year and not when planning ma ers were rather more se led. We hope that the ul mate decision is not affected by any change of government policy.

Land North East of Kingston Lane Unfortunately, the applica on for 41 houses in the Ferring‐Kingston Gap, off Kingston Lane, has not been called‐in by the Secretary of State as Kingston Parish Council had requested. and therefore, the development will go ahead.

RusƟngton Golf Centre This applica on for 191 dwellings bordering the A259 was originally refused by Arun planners but granted on appeal. These proposals included 30 per cent affordable homes for which the Planning Inspector, in the appeal delibera ons, gave substan al weight.

The developer has now applied to omit 43 of these on the site no doubt to increase his profit level, but to us the money offered in return does not appear enough for these to be purchased elsewhere. If the developer has his 38

sums wrong, then he should bear the consequences and not those looking for somewhere affordable to live. We, as part of the ProGaps alliance, are objec ng to this applica on.

The PlantaƟon and Ilex Avenue Our monthly sessions have con nued with around 15 volunteers per session. We have been clearing a very overgrown pathway and the brambles from around the young trees.

A fallen bough was cut up and made safe and a donated oak tree has been planted, which we feel will do well. The no ce board on the greensward has been cleared of a variety of foliage obscuring it from public view. This is now clearly visible and accessible to the public. Of course, we also collected the ever‐present li er.

We s ll need wood chippings (not green) as we have received none from the Council for well over a year. If there are any local tree surgeons who can help, then do please contact us.

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 13th July and 10th August.

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 even prefer to use their own secateurs) which is absolutely fine. We do however request that you wear suitable clothing (shorts are not recommended) and footwear. We take a short break at 11am for refreshments. We provide coffee, tea, biscuits, and very o en homemade cake (provided by our regular volunteers).

Further informa on can be found on the no ce board at the Planta on, and on our website www.ilex‐conserva on‐group.co.uk or contact John Daley on 01903 216071.

Open Gardens in July Na onal Garden Scheme In July, your garden will be in full bloom and the fruits of your labour will be ripening beau fully for the autumn harvest. It’s a great me to collect seeds for next year and ensure everything is well mulched, weeded and watered.

You will no doubt be kept busy by all the gardening jobs, but remember to take a step back and enjoy your hard work. A cool glass of your favourite pple in the shade is a great place from which to admire your patch. You could also spend a morning or a ernoon visi ng someone else’s garden and enjoying a home‐made tea, happy in the knowledge that the small entrance fee (between £5 and £8) will help raise funds for some of the best‐loved nursing and health chari es in the UK. Thanks to the generosity of garden owners, volunteers and visitors we have donated more than £70 million to our beneficiary chari es, and in 2023 we made dona ons of over £3.4 million. Founded in 1927 to support district nurses, we are now the most significant charitable funder of nursing in the UK and our beneficiaries include Macmillan Cancer Support, Marie Curie, Hospice UK and The Queen’s Nursing Ins tute.

The Na onal Garden Scheme doesn’t just open beau ful gardens for charity – we are passionate about the physical and mental health benefits of gardens, too. We fund projects which promote gardens and gardening as therapy, and in 2017, we launched our annual Gardens and Health Week to raise awareness of the topic. Our funding also supports the training of gardeners and offers respite to hor cultural workers who have fallen on difficult mes.

With summer in full swing, there are a wide range of gardens open in West Sussex throughout July. Four local ones are featured here.

Every two weeks, turn up with your current book, grab a coffee and maybe some cake, find a chair (get in early for a prime spot), chat briefly to those you sit with and then Mike will switch on the relaxing sounds of classical, jazz and soundtrack music for you to ease into your book. Enjoy a solid couple of hours of relaxing and reading on the weekly hump day!

If, of course, you are looking for something a li le louder then the Vinyl Listening Party could be the what your ears need! Twice a month you are invited to turn up with some vinyl (singles or albums), tell Mike, who DJs the evening, what to play and everyone sits back to enjoy each others tunes. Some mes the selec ons come with li le stories of why par cular tracks have been chosen. It’s a very eclec c range of music from all the decades, allowing you to rediscover old gems or hear something new.

Every two months there’s also a local open mic poetry evening. This fun and interes ng event allows local poets to deliver some of their current work. You can come along and just listen, you do not have to be a poet!

42

If ge ng to know people is important, there are also social evenings, which are basically like going to the pub but without the alcohol.

Pop along to meet other customers and chat about anything you want except poli cs and religion which are banned in the gallery! The gallery likes to create a relaxing and cosy, chilled environment.

If you're looking for something to challenge the mind then you can join the board games, escape room or quiz evenings. It doesn't ma er if you want to come alone, in pairs or as a group. The gallery can join you with others so you can play. The board games evenings offer classics like Cluedo, Monopoly, and Scrabble, as well as new masters such as Ticket To Ride, Patchwork and many others. You are welcome to bring your own games, too!

There are a range of other events, too, such as Arundel Gin Tas ng, Langham Brewery ‐ Meet The Maker, Andy Cro s ‐ Paul Weller’s bass player o en plays some live sessions, and, there are tas ng evenings, such as a Taste of Sussex, which allows you to try some of the locally produced food and drink.

Some of the ac vi es have a charge, others are free, but the expecta on is to purchase a drink.

All the events need booking in advance. You can pop into the gallery at 71 High Street, Li lehampton or follow them on Facebook.

Volunteering with the Samaritans Imagine reaching the age of 40 and, in a ma er of days, going blind. You have a job, a family and suddenly no sight. That is just what happened to Mark White of Somp ng. And in his words, the rug was yanked out from under his feet and he fell – heavily.

“I spent the next four years drinking too much, ha ng everything, everyone and the world in general. I had no idea what to do next and felt completely useless,” he said.

Mark, now 57, gradually realised this was not the way but he couldn’t imagine a future.

Then someone suggested he go along to the Samaritans informa on evening to find out about volunteering: whether he could, whether he was suitable and if it was possible.

“Right from the start, I felt welcome; my blindness was simply accepted and for the first me, outside of the family home, I felt wanted and valued.”

So Mark signed up for the training and took to it effortlessly. “Anything I needed to help me, from special keyboards, Chrome Box (a voice

44

speaks in your ear anything you can’t see) was provided and I found a place where I felt useful.”

Mark credits the Samaritans with saving his life. He found talking to callers, some of whom were even more desperate than he had felt, gave him purpose and perspec ve. “When callers can talk in total confidence without fear of judgement or being told what to do, it can be so valuable.”

Becoming a listening volunteer changed Mark’s life for the be er and he believes it can enhance anyone’s life. “Com and join us as a volunteer – you won’t regret it,” he said.

For more informa on on volunteering, visit www.samaritans.org If you need to talk, call free on 116 123.

New ExhibiƟon by Ferring ArƟst Miscellany is a new exhibi on by Ferring ar st Jan Barne . It’s another eclec c collec on inspired by things Jan sees around her, such as ‘The Tamarisk Tunnel’, based on the walk by Goring Beach.

Two of the commissions Jan painted last year were also local. ‘Coco’, then an eight‐month‐ old cocker retriever, is chasing egrets by East Preston lagoon. Coco’s owners wanted her puppy exuberance captured in paint. It was published in an ar cle about the Arun Art Society in the All About magazines, so you may have seen it.

Another pain ng is a second version of ‘Paul’s Plaice’ in its new incarna on on Goring Beach. The first version, ‘Fisherman’s Hut’, was exhibited at the WTM 21 Biennial at Worthing Museum and Art Gallery and sold last year.

Jan’s most recent pain ngs portray off‐season Worthing. She is fascinated by the town’s historical yet faded architecture and atmosphere, as seen in ‘Crabshack Street View’, captured on a late a ernoon in February, just as street lights were turning on.

46

In May, Jan The Tamarisk Tunnel was to be found seated at the Ferring Rife one morning, a emp ng to sketch the view across the fields to the west. However, she was interrupted several mes by muddy dogs wan ng to say hello! These sketches will be the source of a landscape she is currently pain ng in her Ferring studio.

Jan is a member of three art groups: West Sussex Art Society, which meets on the second Saturday of every month at West Park School in Worthing, and where Jan’s work is exhibited in their annual shows; The Arun Art Society, which meets in Ferring Village Hall in winter months, and this year, Jan has designed the poster for its annual exhibi on; and a small portrait group that meets occasionally in Ferring to draw a model, usually a friend or neighbour who has been coerced into si ng for two hours. Volunteers to be a model are most welcome!

Miscellany is on from 20th to 25th August at Colonnade House, Warwick Street, Worthing.

Graham Johnson Owner, Partners in Wine, Goring Graham co‐owned a small London adver sing agency that specialised in retail and entertainment clients before re ring in 2002 to take the opportunity to travel. He is very thankful for those life‐enriching experiences. Graham now co‐owns Partners in Wine, 6‐7 Aldsworth Parade, Goring, which stocks a fabulous range of wines, cra beers, cocktails, spirits and gi s. They run regular tas ng events and deliver na onwide, and love giving advice, whether that’s recommending a good wine under £10 for Friday night’s dinner or a special bo le for a gi .

What do you like best about Goring? Endless miles of sky framed by the South Downs to the north and spectacular sea to the south What do you like least about Goring? Public transport stopping early on a Friday / Saturday night!

What is your favourite local restaurant?

Andalucia in Ferring. Perfec on. It’s excellent for a simple glass of wine with Spanish almonds or for a date night.

What is your idea of perfect happiness? A long lunch with close friends under the shade of olive trees. We’d start with Champagne Perrier ‐Jouët Belle Époque followed by plateau de fruits de mer with chilled Muscadet, then a delicious goat and ewes cheese complemented by a top Rioja. I’d also choose all the music!

What is your greatest fear? Two: Alzheimer’s and the Middle East What is your earliest memory? Watching my dear grandmother making wafer‐thin filo pastry for her exquisite apple strudel.

What did you want to be when you grew up?

A journalist, like my father, but I wasn’t a good enough writer, so ended up in adver sing.

48

What has been your most embarrassing moment? I met the charming Jon Landau at a CBS Records sales conference and mistakenly addressed him as John Landis. I found out later that John Landis was also at the conference!

What makes you unhappy? Racism, selfishness, over‐poli cised people who show li le respect or air‐ me for other people’s views.

Do you have any habits that you would change? Less sugar in my tea and coffee (sorry to the ever‐wonderful hygienists and den sts at Ferring Dental!)

What is the most expensive thing you have ever bought (not including property)? A holiday to Sandy Lane, Barbados, flying business class. I recall si ng on the veranda a er dinner listening to Moby thinking I’m in heaven.

If you were alone on an island, which record would you take and why? Tapestry by Carole King. An inspira onal singer‐songwriter, her album portrays humanity, respect and love.

What is your favourite film? Why? Some Like It Hot with Tony Cur s, Jack Lemmon and Marilyn Monroe is, for me, the stand‐out film of the 20th century. Billy Wilder’s script and the cast’s on‐screen chemistry is unforge able.

What is your favourite journey? In the summer warmth, driving from Bas a in Corsica past astonishingly beau ful coast and mountains down to Porto‐Vecchio.

What is your favourite City in the World? I have two: Rome for its incredible architecture, atmosphere, history, cooking and beauty, and New York for its 24/7 energy, crea vity, business, immigra on and New Yorkers.

Who would you invite to your dream dinner party? Rosa Parks, Lucille Ball, Helene Schjer eck, Robin Williams, Danny Kaye, Jack Nicholson, and Michael Palin.

What is the best job you have ever done?

Running an adver sing and media agency for 20 years.

What/who is the greatest love in your life? My partner Jan. We’ll be celebra ng our 40th in October. Can’t believe how me has flown by!

Talking News moves house When Sussex Coast Talking News (SCTN) had to vacate its long‐established home at Rus ngton Hall so redevelopment could take place, it marked the end of an era. The charity had to find alterna ve accommoda on and moved to new premises, BizSpace in Li lehampton, so its vital news service for visually impaired and blind people could con nue seamlessly.

But it le SCTN with another dilemma ‐ what to do with 60 or so prized pictures of famous people interviewed by SCTN throughout its 50‐year history, hanging on the walls of its dedicated recording studio in Rus ngton.

Volunteer Ann Ridley, who looks a er outreach for the organisa on, swung into ac on and “rescued” the framed portraits before a decision could be made about their future.

SCTN, which produced its first broadcast almost half a century ago, provides fortnightly news broadcasts ‐ containing up to 30 stories plus a magazine ‐ for distribu on on CD and USB s cks directly to the homes of listeners who are unable to look at a conven onal newspaper.

Recipients from Shoreham to Bognor Regis receive the informa on by post, ensuring they are able to stay fully in touch with what’s been happening in their area.

It’s the magazine which has in the past featured many of the celebri es who have been interviewed for broadcast and photographed for pictures, which were then framed and adorned the walls of the Rus ngton Hall office.

Many of them are key cultural icons from the worlds of entertainment and poli cs during the dura on of the charity’s history.

Famous faces featured in bulle ns over the years have included Margaret Thatcher, Sir Patrick Moore, Omar Sharif (pictured right), Joe Loss, Mike Yarwood, Malcolm Muggeridge and Douglas Bader.

Since the charity, originally called Voice of Progress, was launched in 1975, more than 1,100 edi ons have been produced.

It has now been decided to digi se the collec on of pictures and produce an album with the double purpose of permanently documen ng SCTN’s story and be made available as part of the organisa on’s 50th anniversary celebra ons next year.

50

Director Rob Batho said: “As we approach the 50th anniversary of Sussex Coast Talking News, this album is a marvellous reminder of many of the extraordinary people who we have been fortunate enough to have interviewed during the course of producing our fortnightly broadcasts over the years.”

Other plans for the anniversary include a special garden party for the charity’s many volunteers and listeners.

SCTN will be opera ng at BizSpace un l a dedicated new studio and office are constructed as part of the redevelopment at Rus ngton Hall.

If you would like to find out more ‐ or if you know of anyone who may benefit from receiving Talking News ‐ email Margaret Eagle at sctalkingnews@gmail.com

Worthing Well‐being Walks Worthing Well‐being walks was set up in March 2024 and we are a walking group with a difference.

It’s less about the walking and more about the talking with us. We understand that a lot of people are feeling very isolated right now and that many are struggling with their mental health, too, so we offer a safe space for our members to get outdoors, meet new people and most importantly, feel heard.

We understand not everyone has someone to go home to, so we’re there with a listening ear and a shoulder to cry on when it's needed.

Our FREE walks are open to all ages and abili es and are very relaxed, there’s never any pressure to complete the whole walk, just do what you’re comfortable with.

Dogs on leads are welcome.

We meet at least once a week for walks along Worthing seafront. All walks are announced on our Facebook page Worthing Well‐being walks and on Instagram @worthingwellbeingwalks.

If you’re not on social media, but want to find out about the walks, don’t worry, we also have a WhatsApp group and an email address worthingwell‐beingwalks@outlook.com.

A beau fully suppor ve community has been created by us all simply walking (and talking) together and it’s heartwarming to see everyone

coming out of their shells and forming new friendships. Our mo o is ‘One step at a me’.

Our members take what they want from that but they all know we’re here for them when they’re ready to talk, one step at a me.

We also hold other events to bring the community together, for example, we had a quiz night in June and are hoping to organise a barbecue and a children’s disco.

The group is run by Lamorna Parnell, Marc Young, Jen Tribe and Victoria Adams.

We welcome all ages and abili es and look forward to mee ng more of you soon.

Wadars appeals for support a er suffering a ‘perfect storm’ Ferring‐based Wadars Animal Rescue is appealing for financial support a er falling vic m to a number of circumstances beyond its control.

Now in its 55th year, the charity runs both a companion animal rehoming centre, which finds homes for hundreds of pets each year, and a wildlife rescue service, which responds to calls from members of the public who are concerned about sick and injured wildlife. In 2023, the wildlife rescue team responded to more than 1,200 callouts to casual es including foxes, badgers, rabbits, hedgehogs, deer, and a wide variety of birds.

Wadars animal rescue officer, Billy Ellio said; “Despite working even harder to rescue and rehome animals in need, we have unfortunately hit a ‘perfect storm’ over the last couple of years. The number of animals that we are being asked to take in and rehome has drama cally increased, while the number of people coming forward to adopt a pet has decreased because they are concerned about being able to afford to care for them. In addi on to that, we have seen a real drop in our legacy income since the pandemic.”

It costs more than £1,600 a day to run Wadars’ services, with legacies usually accoun ng for around 80 per cent of the charity’s income.

“Since the pandemic our legacy income has fallen short by almost £400,000 from what was an cipated,” Billy con nued. “Legacies are

58

Billy with Saffron difficult to plan for and vary year on year, so we do carry a reserve to enable us to manage for dips in income. However, a er such a major drop in legacies, this is now a cri cal year for Wadars and we really need the public’s help to con nue providing our services.”

Dona ons to Wadars can be made via their website www.wadars.co.uk or by sending a cheque made payable to ‘Wadars’ to Wadars, Hangleton Lane, Ferring, BN12 6PP.

RNLI crew recognised for outstanding care Li lehampton RNLI volunteer crew member, Bea Homer, has been awarded a framed le er of thanks from the RNLI’s Head of South East Region for going ‘above and beyond in difficult circumstances’.

Bea was on shoreside du es during a shout in July 2023 when Li lehampton RNLI’s volunteer crew on their Renee Sherman lifeboat returned to the lifeboat sta on with a casualty.

The le er from Ryan Hall thanks Bea for ‘providing comfort and care when it was most needed’ to the casualty for nearly two hours.

The le er adds that Bea ‘went above and beyond in difficult circumstances to provide casualty care… although there were no physical injuries, the level of care provided was much needed.’

Bea, who lives in Li lehampton and has been a volunteer with Li lehampton RNLI for three years, said: “We train as a team to provide the best care to casual es and those in danger or at risk at sea. It is always rewarding to be able to provide reassurance, support and care to those

in need and I feel honoured to be recognised for this”. Nick White, Li lehampton RNLI’s Lifeboat Opera ons Manager, presented Bea with her le er this week. His recommenda on for Bea’s recogni on was quoted in the le er as: ‘Bea’s pa ence and persistence, her care and her mum skills were fundamental to the successful outcome of this shout and deserve to be commended’.

Proposed Government Changes to PIP (Personal Independence Payments): 4Sight Vision Support Needs Your Input 4Sight Vision Support (4SVS) is suppor ng a campaign by the Thomas Pocklington Trust (TPT) to raise awareness of Government proposals for changes to PIPs for disabled people, which it believes will dispropor onately affect those living with sight loss.

TPT works to improve opportuni es for blind and par ally sighted people, and it wants to make as many people as possible aware of the changes and encourage par cipa on in the Government’s consulta on process.

PIP is a benefit that helps pay for the extra costs of living with a long‐term health condi on or disability. The PIP assessment process is not to determine a person’s capability to work; it is to understand the extra costs the person experiences due to their disability.

Some of 4SVS and TPT’s key concerns include the proposed changes to the criteria and ques ons that determine eligibility for PIP, requiring a formal diagnosis by a medical expert and focusing on what condi on they have rather than its impact on their life, and

60

ending the PIP assessment altogether for people with certain long‐term condi ons.

Kirs e Thomas, CEO at 4Sight Vision Support commented, “We are well aware of the many and varied challenges faced by those our charity supports and are extremely concerned that the proposed changes would greatly increase the difficul es and addi onal costs our clients face in their daily lives. We encourage everyone to contribute to the debate.”

The consulta on period closes on 22nd July.

Details of the proposed changes can be found at www.pocklington.org.uk/news‐and‐events, where there is a link to the full PIP page.

Further informa on is also available from 4Sight Vision Support, email enquiries@4sight.org.uk or call 01243 828555.

A privilege for our family to help yours

Losing someone close to us is a painful and challenging experience. Our aim at H D Tribe is to make the whole funeral process as simple and as stress-free as possible for you, by offering a complete funeral service, ensured by H D Tribe’s long-established reputation for quality, dignity and reliability.

Tony Hauck has been part of the team for nearly 30 years and has been looking after the Goring office since 2018. His father was District Nurse for Lancing for many years, and he has two sisters and cousins in the nursing profession. His father in law was also a local funeral director so he comes from a caring background. When not looking after his three grandchildren he enjoys golf, theatre, and tenpin bowling.
