Editor’s LETTER

The Henfield Village Fayre and Summer Show is well worth the wait - because it only happens from the BN5 area every two years we always look forward to this (hopefully) sunny day on Henfield Common when it feels as if the entire village has turned out! It’s felt as if we have been rather consumed with it Local Interest over the last few months, I have witnessed the Henfield Village Fayre incredible efforts of the Parish Office team with Nigel Yeo and Mike Morgan in bringing the whole show together. with all good things, it’s about working together; Local Interest As the two WI groups, the BP Guild, the Henfield Lions St Barnabas Shop 10th to name but a few - the village ‘doers’ - enormous Birthday thanks to them for their hard work and dedication.

Please come along on Saturday 22nd July, you can find out about the day by looking at our article on page 24, or picking up a Fayre Local Interest Programme (with details of all the classes for the Memorial Pitches Show Tent enclosed) at one of the village shops or the Parish Office. Our ‘bit’ was the production of the programme. We are incredibly grateful to the local businesses who have advertised and Local Interest sponsored the show; the money raised through Sharky’s at Henfield the programme helps to make the show happen Leisure Centre and invests for a bigger and better show next time.

We hope to see you there - come and say hi at the BN5 stall near the Show Tent, we will have some Local Interest BN5 giveaways and a spectacular Hamper Raffle in aid of Henfield Youth Club.

The Molly Moo Charity Enjoy the sunshine!

NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN ADMINISTRATOR REQUIRED The new Henfield Neighbourhood Plan is seeking to employ a person to act as Administrator to the Steering Group. Owing to funding, the post may be valid only for the first year of the Neighbourhood Plan process.

The main area of responsibility will be to assist with the general running of the Steering Group meetings and Focus Group work, dealing with agendas, minutes and other documentation and correspondence connected with the Plan.

Right rent

The Henfield Hub was set up by Henfield Community Partnership (HCP) in 2012 with a grant from West Sussex County Council. During this period HCP have provided support when required, although the day to day running of the Hub has always been managed by the Hub board. HCP have been looking at how digital information is provided to the village and to other nearby villages and asked for a report from the Hub board about the future of the Hub. The Hub report was received at the end of April 2017 and states that the Hub is financially stable and still seen as relevant in its current PC format. HCP have responded to the strong desire expressed by the Hub board that the Hub is an asset, and therefore consider the time is now right for the Hub to stand as an entity in its own right and be given its independence. HCP believe that it is in the interests of the community for this to be done as quickly and amicably as possible and will be working with all parties to achieve a smooth handover.

JULY 2017 | News HENFIELD PARISH COUNCIL CLERK’S REPORT Henfield Parish Council has been considering for some time whether it would be a good idea to install a few items of outdoor fitness equipment somewhere in the village, similar to those that can be seen down at Lancing seafront and also along Worthing seafront.

I would be grateful if residents could let me know whether you think that this is a good idea and if so, where you think that the machines could be situated. One suggestion so far has been on the grassy area between the Kings Field play area and the tennis courts. Please let me know what you think by dropping me an email at the Parish Office – office@henfield.gov.uk. Alternatively give me a call on 01273 492507.

If like me you’ve not visited the Henfield Museum as often as you might have liked over the years, I would encourage you to pop in next time you’re close by. One little gem I found recently was an album of photos which chronicle the making of the Memorial Field on Henfield Common in 1950. The photos record the original state of the ground, which at the time was effectively scrub land covered in gorse, up until when the Memorial Field was opened on 16th September 1950 and the Memorial Stone was unveiled.

For those of you that may not know, this was all done to honour those men and women that served during the Second World War. The Memorial Field is set aside for residents of Henfield to play sports, which is why work is currently being carried out to restore and renovate the pitches to their original condition. Next time you’re in the vicinity of The Henfield Hall, please pop into the Museum and ask to have a look at the album of photos. I assure you that you won’t be disappointed!

DIRECTORY OF COMMUNITY HEALTH SERVICES FOR HENFIELD The Henfield Community Partnership Action for Older People Group has printed a new version of the Directory of local health and social care services, especially aimed at older people in the village, but useful for all. It will be distributed to every house in Henfield.

It was printed by Design-Copy-Print in the village, and we are grateful to the Sussex Community Foundation and the Kindersley Trust for helping fund the printing, to the Henfield Lions for distributing it, and to Christy Palmer for her skill in the design.

EMPTY HENFIELD CAR PARKS It’s wonderful to be able to find a space in the car parks but to what cost for some residents?

The roads around the High Street are congested instead!

I am ashamed of some Henfield residents who race up Furners Mead to park behind the Village Hall car park rather than pay £12 a year! I’m not talking about younger drivers or those residents who possibly work in Brighton and catch the bus in - no I’m talking about well-heeled adults with superior cars just popping up to Budgens, or other High Street shops, for an hour or so.

An annual parking disk works out to cost just 25p a week. Please show some consideration to local residents in the way that you choose to drive and park.

News | JULY 2017 If you find the Directory is not useful for you when it is delivered, please return it to the Parish Office to go to someone who needs it more. Also, if any of the information gets out of date, please drop a note to this effect at the Parish Office for the attention of the HCP. Hugh Daniels

generously. Be sure to visit the St. Barnabas Stall at the Village Fayre on Saturday 22nd July. The next meeting of The Friends is on Thursday 20th July at 7.30pm in the Free Church Hall. Do come along, we are always looking for fresh ideas for fund raising.

COUNTY COUNCIL NEWS

BP GUILD’S SENIOR CITIZENS MYSTERY TOUR AND DINNER COMING SOON!

We are in a period after the county election in which the Conservative party won some 56 seats, LibDems 9 and Labour 5. You’ll notice I am sure that the UK Independence Party lost all the seats they contested and in fact no one from UKIP stood for Henfield. Thank you for backing me in my campaign to continue to be your county councillor, and if you didn’t then I can assure you that I will continue to represent everyone, regardless of political party.

Wednesday 16th May was a special meeting of the Council at which everyone found what jobs they will be doing. Yours truly was appointed by the whole council to be the most senior member of the County Council as Chairman and at the same time chairman of Governance and Standards. Roger Oakley, of Worthing, joins me as Vice Chairman of the Council and it looks as if I face many commitments over the year(s) with appointments already piling up.

Louise Goldsmith was again appointed leader and announced her cabinet, which now includes Peter Catchpole (Deputy), Bob Lanzer, Steve Hillier, Richard Burrett, Debbie Kennard, Deborah Urquhart and Jeremy Hunt. Not necessarily in that order. Those of you with long memories will remember Mrs Urquhart used to be a member of the cabinet and the loss of David Barling from Steyning is noted.

Despite time working on elections I continue to represent your concerns. I understand that drivers are parking where they shouldn’t. All parking issues are a matter for Horsham District enforcement teams and I will pass on any complaints I get to the local representatives. This especially includes concerns over the new car park arrangements.

You can write, email lionelbarnard@westsussex. gov.uk or telephone me on 01273 491426 or 07515 332929 with local issues that bother you, if nothing else I will see that they reach the right representative.

Lionel Barnard, Chairman of the County Council

HENFIELD FRIENDS OF ST. BARNABAS HOUSE We are delighted to say that at the start of this our new year we have already raised just over £500.

Watch out for our collectors in the High Street for Sunflower Day on Saturday 15th July. Please give 1 4 | B N 5 M A GA ZINE

If you live in Henfield, Small Dole or the immediate surrounding area, you are invited to the BP Guild annual Senior Citizens coach outing with dinner on Sunday 3rd September.

It is free, as the Henfield BP Guild hires marquees, holds jumble sales and dedicates its fund raising activities during December to cover this event. To qualify you need to be of senior citizen age.

Tradition dictates that the destination is a closely guarded secret, so we cannot let you know where the coach trip is heading. We can tell you it will be a drive of about 60 to 90 minutes to a place of interest where ice-cream, tea or a soft drink will be served. At all times you will be escorted by one or two Guildsmen, some of whom are also volunteer members of HART. Whilst you are enjoying these delights, back at the Henfield Hall, BP Guild and helpers will be hard at work preparing your 4 course meal. A cup of tea or glass of sherry will be offered to welcome you back. The day will start around 12 noon and concludes around 7 to 8pm. Should you need assistance to get home let us know and we will endeavour to help.

To reserve your place, call into Hamfelds from mid July onwards or phone Neil on 01273 491074. You can choose the combination that suits you: the coach trip and dinner or just one of these. If you have special dietary requirements or need help getting to the pick-up points, let us know.

FISH ON FRIDAYS

BAKING FOR CHRISTIAN AID Keira and Hugo Parker set up and ran a cake sale outside Barclays Bank, Henfield last month to raise money for Christian Aid. The initial encouragement came from Miss Sturgeon, the wonderful head teacher at Albourne CofE Primary, asking the children to generate ideas to raise money, outside school, for this worthy cause.

With more than a little help from Mummy and Daddy, we baked a fine selection of cupcakes and full size cakes sold by the slice, along with cake donations from several generous friends.

We are proud to say that we made a profit of £145.20 and would like to thank everyone who bought cakes that day, as well as those who so generously made donations whilst watching their waistlines and not indulging!

Simon and Liz Parker

The Fresh Fish Shop in Haywards Heath will be at Swains Farm Shop every Friday between 10am4pm. They have a beautiful selection of fresh fish, which is sourced daily from their trusted coastal suppliers and handpicked by them at Billingsgate fish market in London.

They have a large variety of stock, salmon, cod, mussels, sea bass as well as bream, hake, turbot, monkfish, octopus. They also take orders.

HENFIELD MEN’S SHED UPDATE The April edition of BN5 included an article about the ‘Men’s Shed’ movement and how Henfield Action for Older People (AFOP) wanted to investigate the possibility of setting up a ‘shed’ in the village.

A Men’s Shed is a larger version of the typical man’s shed in the garden – a place to feel at home in and pursue practical interests with a high degree of autonomy.

Woodmancote Parish Hall has been used as a community facility since the closure of Woodmancote CofE School in the 1950s, and as such it has been available for both public meetings and private functions at modest cost to all. The Hall is owned by trustees, who are the Incumbent and Church Wardens of St Peter’s Church, Woodmancote, on behalf of the Chichester Diocese of the Church of England. The administration and running of the Hall has been delegated to an elected Parish Hall Management Committee.

For financial reasons there has been little opportunity for major improvement or repair to the building, and it has now reached a state where safety, especially the electrical installation and certain structural elements of the Hall and the adjoining cottage, give rise to concern.

Accordingly, the trustees have decided to close the Hall temporarily from 1st October 2017 to enable a refurbishment project to be put in hand.

The Trustees, the Parish Council and the Parish Hall Committee are committed to the continuing use of the Hall for its current purposes and believe it to be a valuable community asset. A letter has gone to all Woodmancote households seeking pledges of financial support for the planned refurbishment and grants will also be sought. If the support pledged is not sufficient to proceed, the Hall will have to be closed permanently and eventually sold. Under the terms of the Trust Deed the proceeds would be used for general educational purposes.

If you would like a copy of the letter to residents, or to discuss further any of the above, please contact any of the Rector, Revd Paul Doick, Parish Council chairman Colin Broucke, or the current chairman of the Parish Hall committee, Peter Bates.

CHANCTONBURY CHORUS AND ORCHESTRA SUMMER CONCERT

with Henfield Leisure Centre and kindly sponsored yet again by Coles Automotive. Last year around 450 adult runners and 60 Juniors took part in the event, which starts and finishes at Henfield Leisure Centre, the youngest just 4 years old!

The 1 Mile event will start at 10.15am and while optimised for our younger runners, there really is no age barrier, so it’s ideal for parents/carers to jog alongside their children, or run it as your own challenge! The main 4 mile event is at 11am, and is entirely off road, via the Downslink and along the bank of the River Adur before returning to the Leisure Centre. This is where the Seven Stiles originally got its name, but as the years have gone by there are actually quite a few less than seven now, see how many you can count!

All finishers in both events will receive a medal, and coffee and cake will be available at the Leisure Centre for those needing a ‘pick me up’ afterwards. More details can be found at www. henfieldjoggers.co.uk, from where entry forms can be downloaded, or picked up from Henfield Leisure Centre. Costs are £4 for Adults/£1 Juniors (Under 15) beforehand, and £5/£1 on the day.

Like last year we have a dedicated group of car parking marshals around Northcroft who will control the flow and direct traffic, as well as additional parking at St Peters School. We also encourage visitors to use the main High Street car parks that Sunday morning. Nonetheless we apologise in advance for any disruption that may occur, and we promise to keep this to an absolute minimum.

A fine May evening, a glorious Norman church, and an unusually varied programme of choral and instrumental music, this was Steyning for the Summer Concert of the Chanctonbury Chorus and Orchestra. From Schubert to Korngold, Mendelssohn to Vaughan Williams, our musicians tackled a challenging programme that required sustained vocal control, wide dynamic grasp and considerable stamina. Under the magisterial leadership of their director, Soibhan Denning, they delivered music of a near professional standard, aided by orchestral leader Chris Phipps, the promising young tenor Ryan Williams and soprano Lucy Mair, whose fresh and radiant voice, puretoned and unaffected, was one of the pleasures of the evening.

Please join us at our next concert, held in conjunction with Hurstpierpoint College on 10th December at Hurstpierpoint College Chapel. We SECRETS OF THE SILK ROAD will be performing Brahms German Requiem plus A talk by Julia Simpson who has recently returned from a wide ranging trip through four of the five additional works.

NEW COMPUTING SUITE OPENS AT ST PETER’S PRIMARY Thanks to the incredible fundraising efforts of the St Peter’s School PTA, children are now enjoying a wonderful new Computing Suite at the school. An enormous amount of hard work has gone into the ‘revamp’ from new stools and laptops to colourful bright walls (thanks to premises manager Anthony Wilding in particular.)

An individual donation and lots of technical advice about the best laptops to buy from parent Mr Walford helped enormously in the purchase of 15 new laptops.

Without the help of the PTA and donations from the wider Henfield community the school would not have been able to provide this essential resource for the children, it’s great to see the fruits of all their fundraising. By supporting events such as Field Fest, taking place on Saturday 8th July, you are not just having a great evening out but you’re helping local children to learn.

T

he bi-annual Henfield Summer Fayre & Show is back and will take place on the Common on Saturday 22 July from 1pm. I’m reliably informed that a day of sunshine has been ordered, but whatever the weather, it promises to be great day!

Our Parish Council has been extremely busy coordinating lots of hard work behind the scenes to ensure a fabulous day-out for all the family, including plenty of old favourites as well as new events. And this year the sponsors (all of them local businesses), have been incredibly generous.

The Henfield Fayre & Show Programme (published

by BN5 Magazine to raise funds for the fayre) will be available from the beginning of July and you can pick up a copy from the Parish Office and various other locations and the Henfield Lions will be delivering it around the village too.

If you haven’t decided what to enter into the ever-

There’s plenty of classes covering food, gardening and craft as well as children’s classes, so do have a look and show off your talents – who knows, you could be one of this years’ winners! The wonderful WI ladies work incredibly hard to organise the Show Tent so to help them make it a success, please check out the rules and timings for submitting entries beforehand – they’re available from the Parish office and on the Parish Council website at www.henfield.gov.uk The Fayre welcomes well-behaved dogs and the much-loved dog show (sponsored by HJ Burt) also has plenty of classes to choose from including ‘dog that most looks like its owner’, ‘best child handler’ and ‘dog that hasn’t won a rosette’! So why not bring your pooch along and show them off!

Henfield’s St Barnabas Shop celebrates 10 years

C

ake, fizz, bunting and balloons added to the party atmosphere at the St Barnabas House Hospice charity shop on 25th May when they celebrated 10 years in the village.

A beautiful two-tier cake was cut by long-standing Henfield customer Lily Stubbs, ably assisted by St Barnabas House CEO Hugh Lowson, who gave a speech praising the hard work and dedication of staff and volunteers at the shop. Hugh also presented long-service awards to several staff members, including a 10 year award to Henfield store manager, Kylie Yates.

Hugh explained the work of the hospice and how their shops were an invaluable support, and how each donation was treated with care, ready to be re-sold in aid of the charity. He said the success of the shop was down to reliable volunteers, great stock pricing and wonderful window displays.

Hugh said; “Henfield is an incredibly special shop, run by a great team. Over the 10 years they have made a huge contribution to the running of St Barnabas, which costs over £6million each year.

Henfield is a true bedrock of the St Barnabas shops, with a strong Henfield Friends group in

01273 494002

the background. It has super quality stock, over 20,000 items were donated last year. It’s also our window on the High Street, letting people know they can come to us for support.”

St Barnabas is now reaching even more Henfield patients through their 30 strong team of ‘Hospice at Home’ nurses who are providing end of life care when patients wish to remain in their own homes.

Lily, who became local celebrity for the day when she cut the cake, said; “It’s such a lovely shop. I can always find some lovely clothes or even china or furniture, and I have donated lots of things over the years. It always looks inviting and never, ever smells musty or like a charity shop!”

“I love working here, I really feel the shop is one of the hubs of the Henfield community,” said Kylie. “I am sure I know most of the customers by name.

We have such a strong core of volunteers who never let us down. We often get some wonderful designer clothing donated, I love that there’s always something new to find here.”

Happy Birthday Henfield St Barnabas!

W

ork has recently commenced on the Memorial Field (adjacent to the Cricket Pitch on Henfield Common) as part of the renovation of the playing field including the two pitches. As anyone knows who has undertaken any building work or garden construction, things will look particularly muddy and awful until the hard digging and drainage work is completed, so please be prepared to find one your favourite areas of the common a little less than pristine!

As we go to print the area has been levelled and diggers are working on the drainage ditches. The field has been fenced-off while this happens, and will remain so while the newly laid grass seed is germinating - at that point rain is needed.

After many years of hard work and perseverance, Henfield Parish Council, Henfield Football Club and Henfield Cricket club secured a £75,000 funding grant from Sport England towards the cost of renovating the Memorial Field on Henfield Common.

The Henfield Memorial Field was first created in 1950, as a small corner of Henfield Common set aside in memory of the young people from Henfield who died serving their country in the Second World War. At the time it was a huge project to clear the gorse and level and drain the ground and the result was state of the art football and hockey pitches. However, the pitches have been deteriorating over the years and despite the best efforts of the Council to maintain them, they

were prone to flooding and effectively unusable for most of the football season. As anyone involved in football in the village will know, Henfield is woefully short of suitable playing spaces with many youth matches and training sessions cancelled during a wet season as a result.

The project to drain, level and resurface this historic playing field will cost £144,679 in total. To add to the Sport England Grant, Horsham District Council have contributed and a community partnership comprising of Henfield Parish Council and the Henfield Football and Cricket Clubs have worked hard to raise the balance of funds to complete the project. Increased sums are also being set aside to maintain the playing field in the future.

As you may have seen in local media, the project ran into some opposition from outside the village.

A gentleman from Brighton raised concerns that the playing field renovation project was effectively destroying the flora and fauna which had grown in the boggy environment, specifically an area of chamomile, which has a conservation status as a Priority Species. He engaged local papers, BBC Radio Sussex and then BBC South Today to seek publicity for his campaign to stop the pitches being refurbished as playing facilities. Henfield Parish Council have sought to reassure that the renovation project was just that; the repair of existing facilities and not an encroachment on any of the wild common areas or any change of use as

was being implied. They have worked closely with Sussex Wildlife Trust to ensure the mix of grasses used, drainage and fertilisation create a good playing service whilst encouraging biodiversity which can coexist on a playing field. They are pleased to be fulfilling the terms of their lease to maintain the area for the ‘playing of games’ whilst acting as good custodians of the wild spaces in our beautiful rural village.

The project is a fantastic example of what can be achieved when local groups work together. The Memorial Field is not just for the Football Club and the Cricket Club; it is a beautiful and much loved part of Henfield which is used for walks, picnics, games, adventures, parties and dog-walking by many in the village, young and old. The Memorial Field and Cricket Pitch account for just 9% of Henfield Common, the other 91% being given over to trees, wilderness and wonderful natural habitat of the common itself including the distinctive reed bed.

Everyone who uses this valuable community space will benefit from the renovation work, we’re looking forward to September 2018 when the pitches will be ready for use and re-dedicated to those who gave so much to Henfield. The Parish may hold a Village Sports Day to celebrate this historic event, the anniversary of its original opening being the 16th September 1950 - watch this space for further information!

Did you know that during the war parts of the common were blocked off by barbed wire? I went to school there in those days (no, not behind wire).

Gorse spread like mad but the causeway remained clear. Beside it a hawthorn seed sprouted growing higher each year, eye-catching in its isolation. It still thrives (sadly masked by planted oaks) the most historic hawthorn in the village – a reminder that the country passed through five dark years of war. After the war we could play on the common.

They were pre mains-drainage days. The common stream carried sewage away. At boggy places along it were jelly-wobbles. A game for us children was; step on a jelly-wobble, wiggle your feet and wait till the wobble became so wobbly it gobbled your shoes – step off quick. The winner was the one who stayed on the longest.

Unchallenged champion was John who left it late and sank to his waist. Adult assistance saved the day. Our favourite part was behind the cricket pitch. There was a narrow strip of dense gorse, where batsmen hitting sixes regularly lost the ball, and nex a rough wild part with clumps of tall grass, super for building hidden camps – except the place was infested with enormous grass snakes.

Suddenly, workers came along and began clearing the ground. Trenches were dug, drains laid, the ground leveled and grass sown. Our domain was being transformed into a Memorial Field – Henfield’s “Thank You” to the village men and women who served so bravely in that ghastly struggle against the Nazis.

The next year, two of our school friends were invited to unveil a large stone block specially placed there inscribed 1939-1945. They did so.

The Memorial Field was open.

Since then it has been a venue for social events, family gatherings, stoolball, hockey, soccer and youth cricket. For 67 years the ground has taken a battering.

Now it is being renovated; drainage, levels and grass. Yes, expensive, but enabled through a grant from Sport England backed by generous aid from two great village clubs.

There will be trying times for people while new grass develops and knits a sound root system for a sustainable surface.

That done, let’s have a second celebratory opening; the renewal of our “Thank You” to Henfield’s war-time heroes.

So, hold on tight for September 2018.

JULY 2017 | Kid’s stuff

Sharky’s,

not just for a rainy day…

S

ince it was opened back in March last year by author Peter James, Sharky’s Soft Play at Henfield Leisure Centre has been overwhelmingly popular, brought hours of fun to local children and has become a life-line for many parents on a rainy day!

There are many reasons for the success of this new venture for Henfield Leisure Centre, not least the bright, clean, safe and friendly environment children enjoy while they play. Parents can be reassured that there is always a limit on numbers, so it doesn’t feel madly crowded like some larger facilities. Shanay Edwards, manager at Sharky’s, is always on hand to make sure everyone is playing happily and safely (all the staff are first-aid trained).

One of the runaway successes has been Sharky’s Café. Sophy Ping, head chef, has over 16 years’ experience in the catering industry and loves to cook. She’s built up a huge repertoire of great recipes for the menu, from chillis to lasagnes, soups and salads, all home-cooked with lots of local ingredients. Prices are very affordable because Sophy wants to make sure the children can eat healthily and parents will want to bring them back again and again! They’ve started the very popular after school special “Dinner & Play” from 3-6pm. Children can burn off some postschool energy and enjoy a delicious homemade hot meal, for £7.50, plus £5.50 for additional siblings. (If it’s been a really, really long day, parents may appreciate a glass of wine while the children play! HLC has a full licence, good to know for emergencies…)

Most of all, Sophy loves to bake. Her lemon drizzle

01273 494002

is legendary, her chocolate cake recipe a closely guarded secret and the saltcaramel brownies disappeared before she could get the next batch in the oven… It’s all become so popular that Sharky’s is now open to absolutely everyone; you can drop in for a take-away cake and coffee, bacon sandwich or a picnic panini! It’s perfect if you’re dog walking, out on a bike ride or just need to stop off for an ice-cream. You’re welcome to sit in the café or take your food away with you. Sophy is also offering a bespoke cake service, where she’ll make one of her cakes for you to order.

Sharky’s is a perfect party venue, there’s room for up to 25 children per party group. You can choose either hot or cold food and you can even pre-order a birthday cake! Sophy provides gluten-free, dairy free and vegetarian, and with a little notice she can provide all sorts of allergy-free food, to make sure everyone’s included in the fun at Sharky’s.

“We’d really like to say thanks to all our customers for supporting us throughout the first year,” said Sophy. “We are so pleased to be busy and it’s great to see the same customers coming back again and again.”

So, pop in to see Shanay, Sophy and the team at Sharky’s, with or without the little ones – you’ll find proper coffee, delicious food and a friendly welcome!

Charity | JULY 2017

I

n 2014 my wife Lisa and I were five months into a text book pregnancy of twin daughters - Molly and Maisy. All was going great until the early hours of 29th September 2014 when my wife went into premature labour. We rushed into the maternity unit at the Princess Royal Hospital where it became clear that there was nothing they could do to stop the labour. To our shock, our twin daughters Molly and Maisy were born four months premature and our life changed drastically from that moment on.

Both Molly and Maisy were on the cusp of survival.

We were extremely lucky that day as the girls were born at the moment of a shift change and we had two teams of nurses on hand (one for each girl) as well as one of the lead consultants whom we would get to know extremely well at Brighton over the coming months. Molly and Maisy were successfully delivered and given immediate life support before being transferred within two hours to the Trevor Mann Baby Unit (TMBU) at Brighton Hospital.

By the time Lisa and I arrived at the TMBU the team there had Molly and Maisy settled with all the support they needed. Both girls weighed only 1.5 pounds and were extremely sick. Their odds of survival were stacked against them: both Molly and Maisy had sustained bleeds on the brain which is very common with premature babies. Molly’s was 4 2 | B N 5 M A GA ZINE

proving to be worse and on the evening of day two she suffered a major lung haemorrhage. The TMBU team fought for over an hour before they could stabilise her condition. They saved her life that night.

I was at home visiting our elder daughters when Lisa called me to tell me what had happened. The journey back to Brighton, though not far, took me two hours that night. Thankfully Molly was stable by the time I got there but her condition was critical still. Over the next 24 hours Molly’s condition sadly deteriorated and tragically on the morning of 3rd October Lisa and I had to say goodbye to our baby girl Molly.

Nothing can prepare you for such an event but thanks to the staff at the TMBU we were able to spend Molly’s last moments with her in private and hold her for the first and last time. We were accompanied by our consultant and the nurse who was caring for her that day every step of the way and I can honestly say that we would never have managed that day without their support.

They were so caring, thoughtful, understanding and strong for us that day when our world was falling apart. They were able to give us and Molly a moment that, despite the sadness and tragedy, we can cherish and a memory of happiness if that seems at all possible.

JULY 2017 | Charity

The tough times were to continue as Maisy’s journey to recovery continued. She too suffered from a lung haemorrhage (although less serious), infections and severe reflux and at three weeksold Maisy was transferred by Neonatal Ambulance to Southampton for a heart operation.

Thanks to the team, Maisy finally transferred to Princess Royal Hospital to the nursery unit where they prepared both her and us for her long awaited homecoming. Finally, after five months in hospital, she came home to be with her full family.

Home life was not a breeze however in the early months. Maisy had numerous visits back to the Royal Alexandra Children’s Hospital in Brighton and her first year at home was spent attached to a permanent oxygen supply. School drop-offs and shopping trips were accompanied by Maisy’s oxygen travel bottles.

Eventually those days passed and I am now proud to say that Maisy is a credit to the TMBU and RMHB and to her sister Molly’s memory. She is fit and well and cruising towards her third birthday.

She has the whole house wrapped around her finger and is the apple of her older sisters’ eyes.

The Ronald McDonald House in Brighton provides free accommodation for families with sick babies on the TMBU and I cannot stress how vital this

01273 494002

charity is. We were able to remain at Maisy and Molly’s bedside at all times and it also provided a respite from the unit without being too far away.

Had it not been for the House we would never have been able to spend those last moments with Molly that we treasure so dearly.

The Early Birth Association (which supports both the Trevor Mann Baby Unit and the Princess Royal Hospital SCBU) and the Ronald McDonald House Brighton are vital charities to my family.

Without them we would not have the fantastic Maisy or fond memories of our dear little Molly.

For this reason we set up the Molly Moo Charity and we split the funds we raise between the two charities. We welcome any donations from people who feel our cause worthy of their support. Every penny helps to save the lives of premature and sick babies and to support their families through extremely dark times.

The Molly Moo Charity has a team of 10 riders entering the London to Brighton Bike Ride on 18th June 2017.

We are hoping to raise £5k for our 2 chosen charities.

Any donations possible would be greatly appreciated and can be made on the Virgin Money Giving website by searching for the name “Lee Burlton” at virginmoneygiving.com Lee Burlton @themollymoocharity

Financial or tax planning: Keeping up to date with new tax allowances, reliefs and regulations will ensure that you can reduce your tax bills and maximise your returns.

Investments: Holding regular reviews of your investments to track performance, evaluate charges and appraising your attitude to risk is critical to achieving positive financial outcomes.

Mortgages: Reviewing your mortgage is very important in times when there is an interest rate change, when your deal comes to an end and to determine how your existing mortgage compares to the new deals within the market.

Protection insurance: With people now living longer and enjoying healthier

lives than they did ten years ago. It is really important to review protection needs throughout your life to ensure that any unexpected events have minimal financial consequences for you and your family.
