200 years and coun ng
Li lehampton RNLI is part of a dis nguished heritage
2024 marks the 200th anniversary of the forma on of the RNLI, the Royal Na onal Lifeboat Ins tu on. The RNLI is a charity dedicated to saving lives at sea and is supported by an ocean of volunteers and the incredible generosity of members of the public.
The RNLI has 238 lifeboat sta ons in the UK and Ireland, as well as RNLI lifeguards on seasonal duty at more than 240 beaches, including Li lehampton and Bognor Regis.
Li lehampton RNLI Lifeboat Sta on’s recorded history goes back to 1840, but those visi ng Li lehampton Harbour on the east bank of the River Arun, near Fisherman’s Quay, will be greeted by a modern lifeboat sta on built in 2002. It is home to two inshore lifeboats named Ray of Hope (a D‐Class single engine) and Renee Sherman (a B‐Class twin engine). Several of the sta on’s lifeboats, now re red, were proud to carry the name Blue Peter I for 50 years from 1967 un l 2017. Li lehampton RNLI is run en rely by volunteers and its crew are on call 24/7, ready to save lives at sea in local waters.
Li lehampton RNLI will be star ng its 200th anniversary celebra ons with a special gala ball, which will be held at Fontwell Racecourse on 9th March from 7pm. Tickets are £55 per person and further details can be found at h ps://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/rnli‐200th‐anniversary‐celebra on‐ball‐li lehampton A whole host of extra special events are planned throughout 2024, including on 6th May an a empt to create a giant ‘200’ in coins outside Li lehampton RNLI Lifeboat Sta on;
its ever‐popular Open Day on 21st July and Fish Supper evening on 4th October; as well as the fun and bracing December Dip – which will be back for a third year on 7th December. Li lehampton RNLI’s shop will also be selling an exclusive range of 200th anniversary items throughout the year.
Nick White, Li lehampton RNLI’s Lifeboat Opera ons Manager, said: ‘Li lehampton has a long and close rela onship with the RNLI. As a town, we have always received strong support and over the years many local men and women have volunteered to help their community. All our volunteers play a crucial role in saving lives at sea. None of their efforts would be possible without the support of the public, to which we are extremely grateful. Thank you so much for your support.’
Littlehampton’s Mayor is out and about
by Cllr Freddie Tandy, Littlehampton Mayor
With 2024 already whizzing by at an unbelievable pace, it’s already so noticeable that the days are getting longer and focus already feels like it’s turning towards the brighter, warmer days of spring and summer. The feeling of standing peacefully on the seafront watching the sun go down has always been one of life’s best natural remedies for me, and it always reminds me how much we rightly value the honour and privilege of having our community located right on the coast.
I was particularly delighted in January to be part of a stellar line‐up of guest judges at Pier Road Coffee & Art at the Old Bank’s January Blues exhibition, showcasing the incredible artist talent of our community, with a particular shout‐out well deserved to the youngsters who entered the children’s category that was put out to public vote on the gallery’s Facebook page. My own monthly visit to the gallery has become famous for me inevitably picking at least one Littlehampton image in my top 3, so I was really pleased to be invited to judge the Littlehampton category of the exhibition, with a brilliant painting of the town’s famous riverside catching my eye in particular!
And then February saw our annual Charity Pancake Olympics return to Littlehampton High Street. Teams of four competed in a range of pancake tweaked Olympic games and sports, with all prize money being donated by the teams to charities and good causes.
Money for charity is a particular focus for the Town Council in the coming month, culminating in our award of ‘Grant Aid’ for 2024 in June. Grant Aid is our programme of financial support, totalling just under £25,000, for local charities and organisations that have a direct benefit to Littlehampton, and I know we would be delighted to hear from any new organisations who may not have applied for support and funding from us before!
As we look ahead, we are excited to be holding two of our ever‐popular Easter ‘Out and About’ sessions for children in some of our local parks. Not only will we be returning to Mewsbrook Park on April 3rd, but we will also be utilising the Town Council’s brand‐new K2 Youth and Community Centre in Eldon Way for our second session on April 10th. The recent completion and opening of the new centre is an exciting achievement for the Council, and the community in Wick. I really hope you will be able to get a chance to pop by the centre in the coming weeks to see it for yourselves! Do keep an eye on the Town Council’s Facebook page for all our latest news, events and invitations, including to our Annual Town Meeting on April 25th.

Looking Back on our 25th Year at
Littlehampton Shopmobility
Littlehampton Shopmobility was registered as a charity with the Charity Commission way back in June 1998, so has now been going for over a quarter of a century! What a journey this charity has had over the 25 years, what with having won two na onal awards, being nominated as one of the top Shopmobility schemes in 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 and extending a membership with Worthing and Bognor Regis Shopmobility schemes (although sadly Worthing Shopmobility closed down in 2020). In 2018, Li lehampton Shopmobility was also presented with a Merit Award by the Town Mayor.
The charity’s amazing patrons are the Duchess of Norfolk and the Lady Colin Campbell, we are very grateful for their support.
On Monday, 19th June 2023, Li lehampton Shopmobility held an Open Day to celebrate our 25 years and were delighted that the Town Mayor, Cllr Freddie Tandy and the Chairman of Arun District Council, Cllr Alison Cooper a ended. Other guests who a ended included many Town Council Officers, Town traders, past and present customers and friends of the charity. The Raffle held at the close of the a ernoon raised £140.
Another Christmas Raffle was held on 8th December which raised £136 and the charity thanks all those who bought raffle ckets and donated gi s as prizes.
Li lehampton Shopmobility’s services include the hire of scooters, wheelchairs, walkers and crutches to enable customers to live as independent lives as possible.
Li lehampton Shopmobility’s suppliers are the well known Clearwell Mobility and many of their products are on sale in the shop. A free Clearwell Mobility catalogue is offered to all customers and the charity can order direct
from Clearwell all products in the catalogue and deliver to the charity’s shop for collec on.
Other services provided are a Pit Stop Service (by appointment) where if a customer owns their own scooter and wants it valeted and the tyres checked this can be done.
The charity is happy to accept any disability equipment in very good condition to sell as some customers find it not worth buying a new aid if they have a temporary disability after an operation.
Alan Gammon retired as Chairman of the charity at the AGM in September 2023 after nearly a ten‐year tenure. He was then asked to become our Honorary President in recognition for all his hard work over the years and he has also become our Treasurer.
Littlehampton Shopmobility is most grateful to the team of Trustees and Volunteers of the charity; our sincerest thanks to them.
For more information about Littlehampton Shopmobility contact June Caffyn at Littlehampton.shopmobility@gmail.com. They are based at The Bradbury Centre, 1‐5 St Martin’s Lane, Littlehampton BN17 6BS.

For many, this is the point of the year that signifies change, especially when it comes to financial ma ers. It’s certainly the me of year when my team sees an increase in calls and emails asking for advice regarding tax allowances and closing off the year in the most economical way.
Within the next few weeks, we will witness another tax year close and a new one open. If you have savings, ISA’s or pensions, this can be a busy period and ming can make a huge difference.
ISA’s are generally my first point of call when it comes to evalua ng where to put your money, especially at this late stage in the year. Each of you has a £20,000 allowance each tax year, so if you haven’t made the most of it yet, it’s certainly a good place to start. Remember, ISA’s are essen ally tax free savings/investment accounts, so any returns you earn fall outside of income tax, and capital gains.
As I’ve men oned capital gains tax, it’s worth poin ng out the allowance for capital gains has halved from £6,000 pa to £3,000 pa for the 24/25 tax year period and beyond. Of course ISA’s shield you from these changes anyway, so this is yet another reason to make sure you use your allowance or as much of it as you can.
Pensions are another interes ng op on too, for those of you under 75, even if you haven’t earned an income, you can s ll pay £2,880 and benefit from £720 tax relief.
My advice is generally to make a plan for your investments early in the tax year, this way it allows you to make the most of the en re period, rather than trying to cram it in towards the end.
Get organised in 2024: plan for your long‐term care!
As we ease into a new year, it seems a fi ng me to get organised, tackle the tasks that you’ve been pu ng off, and plan for the future. One area that may not be people’s main priority un l it becomes a necessity, is planning for long‐term care and how it’ll be funded. However, considering this early allows for more though ul decisions, without the pressure of immediate ac on.
As you step into 2024, it’s beneficial to spend me considering:
the type of care that you would prefer;
how to best manage and cover care fees;
how you can provide for your family members; and
arranging Power of A orney for someone to act on your behalf if necessary.
You can also discuss and share your wishes with your family. This will help to reduce pressure on them, should they need to take future decisions on your behalf.

Wicked Li le Hampton Exhibit
Li lehampton Museum is delighted to open a new micro‐exhibi on in the Museum Recep on, exploring the true story behind the Wicked Li le Le ers film.
The falling out of two friends living in Western Road, Li lehampton in the 1920s led to a fascina ng and bizarre series of events, involving libellous le ers, false accusa ons, and prison sentences. Curated by one of the Museum volunteers, and featuring local characters and places, this exhibit reveals details of the real‐life case; the police inves ga ons, the mul ple trials and the convic ons.
“At mes this case is scarcely believable, with its twis ng ‘whodunnit’ plot,” said Councillor Sean Lee, Chair of Li lehampton Town Council’s Community Resources Commi ee, “But it is all true and set against a backdrop of town life in Li lehampton in the 1920s.”
Littlehampton Tennis
The exhibi on runs un l 26th March 2024 and is free to visit. More details can be found online at www.li lehamptonmuseum.co.uk

Countryside and cafes
with the Angmering Cycling Club
What be er way to discover the hidden delights of Sussex and its stunning scenery than with the Angmering Cycling Club.
Most weekends throughout the year the members of the Angmering Cycling Club head out on to the roads and cycle paths of West Sussex. We also have a calendar of special events which some mes take us further afield. As a community club we cater for all abili es, and for Road, Gravel, and Mountain bike riders.
On the road, we have social rides that are typically around 25 miles at a gentle pace. Then we have Intermediate rides of around 40 miles. Both categories also have occasional extended op ons so that members can choose to ride a longer distance. Then we have Inters+ and Club categories that will ride faster s ll and cover more ground.
Off‐road, our Gravel and MTB op ons vary in length and speed according to the terrain.
Of course, whilst this is all good for our fitness, mental wellbeing, and the like, it is important to properly fuel for the body to manage the ride back to our homes. So, for this reason, we also make sure to include one of the many amazing coffee shops and/or cafes into every route (some mes more than one), and occasionally we may also end the ride at a suitable watering hole.
This year, the membership has risen to around 148 members. Some of those have been with us since the club’s incep on. We have members ranging from their 20s to 70+. One thing is for sure; we all love riding our bikes and ea ng cake!
The club, which is affiliated to Bri sh Cycling, the na onal body for cycling in the UK, places a high emphasis on rider safety, with all rides led by trained ride leaders. Prospec ve members are allowed to come along as ‘guests’ for up to two rides before joining. Although based in Angmering, the Club has members from all over the county, including Worthing, Li lehampton, Rus ngton, East Preston and along the coast from Bognor Regis to Shoreham as well as members from Storrington and Pulborough. The Club has a ‘no drop’ policy meaning that any rider, who has a puncture or mechanical problem, will be helped to get them back on the road, or safely home.
If you are interested in understanding more about our club or want to know how to join, this can be found on the Club website h ps://www.angmeringcyclingclub.com or by emailing the club Secretary: secretary@angmeringcyclingclub.com
The Windmill is back!
Li lehampton, 10th August 2023. A day of black smoke on the seafront, shocked bystanders, social media awash with specula on, and a large gathering of fire crews pumping considerable amounts of water towards a blazing building.
The end of the day brought calm, but also regret for the Harvester restaurant, which had been reduced to a burnt‐out shell. The fire had started in its kitchen, and the staff living above the restaurant had been made homeless. But there was also a great deal of relief. There had been no casual es, and Li lehampton fire crews (with the help of several others from as far away as East Sussex) had performed a miracle by saving the adjacent Windmill Theatre against enormous odds.
Many Li lehampton people were exceedingly grateful to them for their efforts, as the fire had brought into sharp relief just how much the town values its theatre. The Windmill’s troubles were not over, though. The theatre’s flat‐roofed foyer and side studio had suffered water damage, while the roof itself had received structural damage when a por on of the burning Harvester collapsed onto it. The Windmill was pronounced unsafe to use and closed for repairs, with the immediate cancella on of its exis ng bookings. Many local amateur theatre companies found themselves hun ng for new venues for their upcoming performances, or postponing them to future dates – among them, Li lehampton Musical Comedy Society, who had to pause their run of The Wedding Singer a er just one night.
Since then, the remains of the ruined restaurant have been carefully demolished, and the Windmill now stands proudly – if in isola on – against the skyline. As it was a ached to the much larger structure of the Harvester for so long, visitors to Li lehampton could be forgiven for not really looking at the theatre in detail, even though it has performed that role for almost 100 years.
The Windmill’s story begins in 1912 when it
was built as a large shelter pavilion; it was converted into a theatre by the Urban District Council 15 years later, but traces of its original purpose can s ll be seen today. Once external features, the shelter’s pillars now form very visible aspects of the Windmill’s auditorium, and if you look carefully at the roof outside, you can s ll just see their raised ends, although they are mostly obscured by more recent addi ons.
The theatre con nued to evolve in the late 1960’s and early 70’s, gaining its now‐familiar name as well as a bar and restaurant a ached to what is now the foyer. Further addi ons came in the 1980s, as the crea on of a second dressing room allowed men and women to change costumes separately – but this upwards trajectory was not to last. Fast‐forward to the early 2000s, and the Windmill was being threatened with closure.
There were outpourings of public feeling, including marches and mee ngs in support of the theatre, and a compromise was agreed.
The bar and restaurant were demolished, and a large, privately owned restaurant built in its place, while ADC also arranged for external organisa ons to take over opera on of the Windmill. It is currently run by the non‐profit organisa on Freedom Leisure, under the name ’The Windmill Entertainment Centre’, though the building remains ‘The Windmill Theatre’ to locals.
As for the future of the Windmill, Freedom Leisure and ADC have been very proac ve, repairs are running to schedule, and at me of wri ng the theatre is set to reopen in mid‐March: welcome and exci ng news. The studio, with its brand‐new sprung floor, will be open for dance classes and other types of rehearsal, the cinema will be available and, most importantly for a theatre, live performances will return to the Windmill’ s stage.
LPOS Musical Produc ons (formerly Li lehampton Players Opera c Society) will lead the way in treading the theatre’s new boards, bringing an exci ng, funny, and hugely entertaining produc on of the classic musical The Pajama Game to the Windmill between 17th and 19th April. Li lehampton Musical Comedy Society are also set to return to the theatre this summer, performing a concert (fi ngly named ’Home Again’) on 21st and 22nd June, before reviving their interrupted run of The Wedding Singer. And that is only a taste of the theatrical fun planned for the months a er the building reopens.

Family Law
It is an unfortunate fact that not all marriages are successful. When a relationship breaks down it is not unusual for one or both parties to seek to dissolve the marriage or to obtain a formal decree of judicial separation.
If you are married and want to permanently end your marriage, you should apply for a divorce. If you are in a civil partnership and want to permanently end your civil partnership, you should apply for a dissolu on. Both divorce and dissolu on are ways to end a legally binding rela onship.
A decree of judicial separa on is a Court Order, however, legally separated couples will s ll be married. In judicial separa on cases the Court has the same range of powers as it does in divorce cases in terms of dividing assets and arranging child/ren custody and maintenance. The main difference being that unlike divorce or dissolu on where a Pension Sharing Order can be made, a Court may only be able to make an Order to offset or make a Pension A achment Order. If there are children under 18 the Court must be satisfied that proper arrangements are in place.
A fair division of the family assets, including the matrimonial home, has to be worked out. In the majority of cases this is achieved by negotiation between Solicitors and agreement between the parties. We emphasise negotiation and agreement rather than conflict and confrontation in the application of the principles of matrimonial law to the special circumstances of each individual case.
We can also advise in relation to family protection, domestic violence, injunctions, wardships, adoption, contact and childcare protection proceedings.

County Lines and Cuckooing
County lines is the name given to drug dealing where organised crime groups (OCGs) use phone lines to move and supply drugs, usually from ci es into smaller towns, villages and rural areas. They exploit vulnerable people, including children, those who are lonely, isolated or suffering with addic on or mental health issues, by recrui ng them to distribute the drugs – this is referred to as “drug running”. Criminals may also take over and use a vulnerable person’s home as their base of opera ons for dealing drugs. This is known as ‘cuckooing’. It’s common for OCGs to use a property for a short amount of me, moving to other addresses frequently to reduce the chances of being caught.
There are several signs to look out for which may indicate that someone is involved in county lines:
Repeatedly going missing from school or home and being found in other areas
Having money, new clothes or electronic devices with no explana on how they paid for them
Receiving a high number of texts and / or phone calls, and being secre ve about who they’re speaking to
Decline in school or work performance
Significant changes in their emo onal or physical well‐being If you’re concerned that someone may be a vic m of cuckooing, here are the signs to look out for:
Changes in their daily rou ne
Frequent visitors at unsociable hours
Unusual smells coming from a property
Suspicious or unfamiliar vehicles outside an address
If you’re concerned about drug related crime in your area or think someone may be a vic m of drug exploita on, please contact us online or on 101.
Alterna vely, you can report anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or via crimestoppers‐uk.org
Fantas c Fer lizer
by Rachael Leverton
March is famously temperamental and if the soil where you are is s ll wet and cold then it’s wise to delay plan ng and sowing un l the temperature rises.
Plant nutrient reserves are low at this me of year so, as the soil warms up, it’s me to think about fer liser.
Many gardeners are a bit frightened of fer liser. All those chemical symbols on the side of the packet are rather reminiscent of school chemistry lessons. In fact, the basics are quite simple.
NPK ‐ This can be observed on the side of most fer liser packages. The le ers stand for:
N ‐ Nitrogen, P ‐ Phosphorous and K ‐Potassium. Together these are known as the macro‐nutrients and each of them has its own use. Nitrogen primarily feeds the leafy above‐the‐ground parts of the plants. Phosphorous promotes strong roots. Potassium makes grass hardier, promotes germina on and improves vegetable and fruit yields.
The propor ons of each macro‐nutrient will be printed on the packet. Equal amounts of each nutrient make for a good general‐purpose fer liser.
A lawn will need a good balance of nitrogen and phosphorus to guarantee lush green grass with a healthy root system capable of withstanding dry spells.
There are other macro‐nutrients: Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen, which plants obtain freely from the air and water; and calcium, magnesium, and sulphur, which should be present in any good general‐purpose fer liser.
Plants also need micro‐nutrients: Iron, Manganese, Zinc, Boron, and Molybdenum. Plants take all these nutrients and build everything they need from scratch, including vitamins. What plants cannot do is absorb vitamins directly from things such as pet food, milk or so‐called fer lisers which contain vitamins, proteins, and fats.
So don’t be in midated by fer liser. Decide what your plants need then read the label. It’s easy as ABC… or rather NPK!
Exci ng new programme for 2024 at
the Weald & Downland Living Museum
Founded in 1970, the award‐winning Weald & Downland Living Museum is a unique outdoor a rac on that offers visitors a first‐hand glimpse into rural living over the centuries.
Set over 40 acres in the South Downs Na onal Park, the Museum is home to a collec on of 50 historic buildings da ng from 950AD to the 19th century.
Re‐erected from their original sites in southeast England, they include homes and farmsteads as well as a working mill, bakehouse, forge and dairy. There are also six historic gardens and a wide range of tradi onal trades and cra s to discover, in addi on to an extensive learning programme. Since incep on, the Museum has strived to conserve the collec on, with the aim of teaching future genera ons how to keep heritage cra s and rural tradi ons alive.
This year they are hos ng a variety of interpreta on weekends to showcase different aspects of rural working life, bringing the past into the present so visitors can learn from our ancestors.
On 6th ‐ 7th April, they will be hos ng their ‘Get Thri y’ weekend. From make do and mend, to upcycling and swapping, visitors can find out how people in the past reduced waste, saved money and turned unwanted items into something useful.
For those interested in gardening and botanicals, on 22nd ‐ 23rd June the Museum will celebrate the power of plants and flowers. Over this weekend, visitors can discover the history behind the use of plants and herbs in our diets and around our homes, from health and wellbeing to language and colours.
On 3rd ‐ 4th August, there will be an immersive experience as the Black Knight Historical Group help to bring Medieval history to life. Join us as they bless the First Fruits of Harvest with a tradi onal medieval fayre around the Museum’s Market Square.
Going into autumn on 14th ‐ 15th September,
the Museum will host its popular Made by Hand: Heritage Cra s and Skills Weekend. With many heritage cra s at risk of being lost forever, visitors can explore cra s and skills from the past and learn about how these can be conserved for our future. Throughout the weekend there will be demonstra ons from the Museum’s cra experts as well as visi ng members of the Heritage Cra Associa on, who will showcase cra s from the Red List of Historic Endangered Cra s.
On 12th ‐ 13th October, there will be a new Hedgerows and Harvest Weekend. Hedgerows are a crucial factor in the existence of many plants and animals, and over the weekend there will be opportuni es to learn about the diversity of the plants and insects that rely on them to survive.
The year will end with the Museum’s annual Tree Dressing celebra on in December, where visitors can take part in a special lantern procession around the site.
As well as a fascina ng programme of interpreta on weekends, the Museum will also host fun and educa onal family ac vi es during the school holidays. Whether 5 or 95, there is so much to explore and learn at the Museum.

World Day of Prayer‐ Friday 1st March
The theme is "I beg you ... bear with one another in love" (Ephesians 4:1‐3) and the service was put together by Chris an women in Pales ne.
World Day of Prayer is an international, inter‐church organisation which enables us to hear the thoughts of women from all parts of the world: their hopes, concerns and prayers. The preparation for the day is vast. An international committee is based in New York and there are national committees in each participating country. Regional conferences meet to consider the service and then local groups make their plans.
The Pales nian Chris an women who wrote this worship service have invited the world to pray for peace, jus ce and freedom of religion and freedom of movement. Their prayers specifically call us to pray with women, refugees, persons experiencing homelessness, and all who are sick, dying and grieving.
The Day of Prayer is celebrated in over 120 countries. It begins in Samoa and prayer in
na ve languages travels throughout the world; through Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Europe and the Americas before finishing in American Samoa 38 hours later.
The 2024 World Day of Prayer event in our area will be held in East Preston St Mary the Virgin Church at 2.30pm on Friday 1st March 2024. It is a short service, with refreshments in the Spire Room a erwards. All are welcome!

Self‐Love Is Underrated
Nathalie
Sansonetti BA, MA, DNN, Dip AIT
Nutritional Therapist & Health Coach, New Leaf Nutrition T: 07980 620010 E: nathalie@newleafnutrition.co.uk W: newleafnutrition.co.uk
Growing up with abusive brothers (and pre y absent parents) made me into a tough child. I rejected my own feelings and tastes, hungry for their love and acceptance.
I learnt early on that I needed to change my appearance and behaviour to 'deserve' and receive love from anyone.
I constantly encounter these beliefs and behaviours in my work and personal life. We tend to conform to get accepted. We think that it may even lead to love. We believe and treasure others' views and opinions of ourselves more than our own too.
Of course, we understand that these views reflect the 'world out there', and do not o en represent our own internal opinions and views. But their power to influence us and our self‐acceptance is undeniable.
Personally, it’s taken me years of rocky roads and hard knocks but I’m now very comfortable saying that I accept and love myself uncondi onally. I have found that one par cular prac ce has made a huge difference to my development: Me a medita on. Rooted in Buddhist tradi on, this is a powerful way to increase compassion and love towards yourself and others.
How it works: close your eyes, take a few deep breaths, then repeat over and over (out loud or not): "May I be happy, may I be safe, may I be healthy, may I live with ease." Then a er a few mes, repeat these using anyone else you want to focus on.
Self‐love (and love for others) begins with self‐compassion.

Chatsmore Appeal: we say NO!
by Sir Peter Bo omley MP
Over three hundred local residents, community leaders and campaign supporters joined me on Chatsmore Farm at the beginning of February. We send this clear, united message to the Planning Inspectors heading the Appeal: NO!
The gathering came ahead of the Planning Inspector hearing Persimmon’s appeal against refusal of over 400 homes in the wrong place. Local people support Michael Gove’s words, “protect the gaps”, given in response to my ques ons in the House of Commons. Together, we have been successful so far.
Let us work together to keep the fields, maintain the natural gaps, only suppor ng developments where appropriate and where wanted. We value the farmed land and the managed natural environment. That is why many in Arun and Worthing chose to call the area their home.
If we pave over every verge and concrete every field, flooding will worsen, air quality will drop and wildlife will suffer.
We have to protect the environment.
Focus on sensible developments of vital, new, good‐quality homes ‐ in the right places.
Resist a empts to cover every green gap and community space in our already ghtly bounded local area.

Blind Veterans UK opens to guests at Rustington
Wellbeing Centre
Blind Veterans UK Centre of Wellbeing, formerly Princess Marina House (PMH), began welcoming their first guests in time for Christmas. The first veteran to check in was Norman from Oxfordshire. He received a festive chalet‐themed welcome from excited Centre staff, including Centre Manager, Lesley Garven. During his week at the centre, Norman enjoyed the company of other veterans on their own at Christmas and took part in several activities, including a visit to the village!
The Centre employs several former PMH staff who live in Rus ngton and Li lehampton. Blind Veteran UK veteran Terry and his partner Joyce were regular visitors to PMH making a total of nine visits before it shut its’ doors. They are firmly Rus ngton ‘superfans’ and were among the first to check in back in January. They were warmly welcomed by some familiar faces ‐ local staff Tammy and Natasha (le ) from Li lehampton, and Catherine (right) from Rus ngton.
Blind Veterans UK moved to Rus ngton from their former south coast home at Ovingdean,
Brighton in September 2023 with a small number of permanent residents. Although the centre is beginning to welcome visi ng guests for holidays and rehabilita on, this will be phased over the coming weeks and months as there is s ll some ongoing building and landscaping work to compete. The Rus ngton Centre will be formally opening in Spring 2024.
Blind Veterans UK supports thousands of blind veterans across the country, but knows there are many thousands more who s ll need its support to rebuild their lives a er sight loss.
If you, or someone you know, served in the Armed Forces, including Na onal Service, and are now struggling with sight loss, then please get in touch. Call 0800 389 7979 or visit: blindveterans.org.uk/gethelp

This year we have been taught some exci ng and engaging topics. We began the year learning about nocturnal animals, followed by ‘Stone Age to Iron Age’ where we learnt how the world was very different than the modern day we live in today.
In year 3 this half term we have been looking at the ancient Egyp ans. We have been learning lots of facts about them like they mummified their dead bodies and pulled the brain out through the nose using a wire hook. The pharaohs built the pyramids on top of their tombs to show how important they were! We have been exploring and researching ancient gods and goddesses that were worshipped and wri ng monologues in our English lessons. We have also made a death mask, during our Art lessons. We will finish our topic with an ancient Egyp an day where we will prac se mummifica on, learn an Egyp an dance and even eat some food that they would have eaten 3000 years ago! We have learnt a lot and really enjoyed this topic!
Vindica on Swim
Pioneering Brighton born swimmer, Mercedes Gleitze, is the subject of a new film almost a century a er an incredible endurance swim. In celebra on of Interna onal Women's Day, the much‐an cipated biopic Vindica on Swim is hi ng cinemas across the UK on the 8th of March, which dives into the extraordinary life of Mercedes Gleitze, who in 1927 became the first Bri sh woman to swim the English Channel.
The film depicts Mercedes’ upstream struggle in overcoming both the cold waters of the English Channel and the oppressive society of 1920s England. However, a er a rival comes forward claiming to have accomplished the same feat, Mercedes is forced into ba le to retain her record and her legacy.
Wri en and directed by award‐winning filmmaker Ellio Hasler, from Hove, Vindica on Swim stars Bri sh‐Irish actress Kirsten Callaghan in her debut role as Mercedes Gleitze, who trained for months in the English Channel before filming began. The film also stars John Locke (Darkest Hour, Poor Things, The Favourite) alongside James Wilby (Maurice, Gosford Park, Howards End) and Douglas Hodge (Joker, The Great, Black Mirror).
Aside from the Channel, Mercedes also became the first person to complete many other incredible swims around the world, including the Straits of Gibraltar, the Dardanelles and distance between Robben Island and Cape Town. Mercedes also made waves in Worthing itself, where in May 1933, she completed a mammoth 47‐hour endurance swim at the iconic Corpora on Baths.
With Vindica on Swim set to hit Worthing's cinemas, residents can revel in the knowledge that their town not only forms part of the legacy of Mercedes Gleitze but also served as backdrop to crucial scenes within the film. Key
sequences were shot over the course of the film’s produc on at Worthing Town Hall which doubles up as the Channel Swimming Associa on headquarters. The filming saw the likes of John Locke (Darkest Hour, The Favourite, Poor Things) and Victoria Summer (Saving Mr. Banks, Transformers) gracing the town’s streets. The likes of whom will be set to return to Worthing for Q&A screenings of Vindica on Swim.
As we celebrate Interna onal Women's Day, Vindica on Swim serves as a poignant reminder of the indomitable spirit of a woman who dared to dream beyond the confines of her era. The film's release on the 8th of March invites Sussex residents to join the na onwide audience in commemora ng Interna onal Women's Day while paying homage to a local connec on that shaped Gleitze's remarkable legacy.
Whether you're a history enthusiast, a sports fan, or simply someone seeking inspira on, Vindica on Swim promises a cinema c experience that celebrates not only the achievements of Mercedes Gleitze, but also the collec ve strength and determina on of women who have le an indelible mark on our world.
Details for screenings can be found at www.vindica onswimfilm.com or @vindica onswimfilm on social media.
World Glaucoma Week
Supported by 4Sight Vision
4Sight Vision Support is suppor ng World Glaucoma Week from 10th to 16th March 2024, and at the same me highligh ng the importance of regular eye examina ons for everyone – this vital health check can detect a number of condi ons and prevent avoidable sight loss.
World Glaucoma Week aims to raise awareness on glaucoma, a chronic, progressive, degenera ve disorder of the op c nerve that produces characteris c visual field damage. It is the second cause of blindness, and importantly, it is irreversible. In its early stages, it is asymptoma c and if untreated, it may progress to blindness.
4Sight Vision Support provides support and specialist informa on to blind and sight impaired residents throughout West Sussex, including many people living with glaucoma. One of its key services is to promote the importance of regular eye health checks – in the case of glaucoma, with early treatment, the damage may be limited and sight may be
saved. 4Sight Vision Support
CEO Kirs e Thomas added:
“We hope by raising awareness of glaucoma, it will encourage all of us to have a regular eye examina on. Even those suffering from vision loss should con nue to do so as checking for further changes in the eyes can help make the best use of remaining vision and prevent any unnecessary further sight loss.”
To find out more about glaucoma and the importance of taking care of our sight call 01243 828555 or visit www.4sight.org.uk
