District Showcase Tour

Editor’s Letter If you love cars then don’t miss the Horsham District Showcase Tour when it visits Henfield on Sunday 24 March, see page 27 for details. You may remember ‘Piazza Italia on Tour’ from two years ago when the village was filled with the colour and noise of beautiful Italian supercars, well, this time it’s bigger and better! Plan are underway to close the High Street to allow cars (classic, supercars, American muscle cars from Henfield’s own Pilgrim Motorsports, VW campervans and vintage British cars) to park up along the High Street so visitors can wander and enjoy the atmosphere, delicious street food and great entertainment.

It’ll be a fantastic Sunday afternoon out with plenty to see and do. Henfield is the last ‘pit stop’ on the tour so we get some extra time to see the cars. Come and enjoy a drink in one of the pubs, or a coffee and leisurely lunch.

Also in this issue we’ve got interviews with two local student midwives about their fascinating experiences volunteering in Tanzania, as well as an article about a talented Steyning artist, Lorna Wheele, who featured on Sky Arts Landscape Artist of the Year show.

At BN5 we’re running a competition for the best District Showcase Tour shop window, please look out for details on the BN5 Facebook page and vote for your favourite!

New Town creeps towards Henfield

Despite being ruled out of the Mid Sussex Local Plan, Mayfield Market Towns (MMT) have used the review of the Horsham Local Plan to renew their effort to build a new ‘garden’ town, this time promoting a settlement of more than 6000 homes that takes in Henfield, Shermanbury and Woodmancote parishes.

It is thought that MMT have paid £150,000 for the privilege of an arrangement with Horsham District Council (HDC) known as a Planning Performance Agreement (PPA). This obligates HDC to ‘consider information’ and ‘test the deliverability’ of the New Town despite having already rejected MMT proposals in 2015. Local residents are shocked that Localism is once again being undermined.

Our MPs have once again reacted angrily to the news. Sir Nicholas Soames MP, speaking to the Mid Sussex Times, said: “The Mayfields new town is a wholly unsuitable proposal which has been repeatedly rejected, yet this developer persists in promoting it. It is extremely disappointing that Horsham District Council have entered into an agreement with Mayfields, and will be accepting payment from them, as the developer obviously sees this as a way of keeping their foot in the door.”

Nick Herbert MP added: “By persisting with the Mayfields new town plan, in spite of having no local support, the developers are blighting the local area. They tried but failed to upset two local district plans, but clearly, they are going to have another go. I have no doubt that local people will make their continuing opposition to Mayfields clear, including to Horsham District Council.”

For information please visit www.lambs.org.uk.

Josh Potts

Horsham District Council response: A planning performance agreement (PPA) can be a useful tool to focus pre-application discussions on the issues that will need to be addressed by a planning application and the timescales and resources that are likely to be required. A PPA is a normal part of the planning process for large or complex proposals and is entered into on a without prejudice basis. This means that entering into a PPA does not give a guarantee of planning permission nor its allocation for development in a local plan.

All planning authorities charge a fee for preapplication discussions, and the Government promotes this approach as best practice. Mayfield Market Towns promoted this site during the preparation of the current local plan, which was adopted in 2015, and have continued to do so over the following years.

The Council is obliged to assess all of the sites promoted by developers for potential inclusion in the new local plan. The PPA fee covers the cost 14 | BN5 Magazine

of this work and is payable whether or not the site comes forward as part of the Local Plan Preferred Strategy, which is due to be published for consultation in autumn 2019.

Barbara Childs, Horsham District Council Director of Place

Annual Parish Meeting

Henfield’s Annual Parish Meeting takes place in The Henfield Hall on Tuesday 5 March from 7pm.

All members of the public are invited and encouraged to come along and make their views known to the Parish Council. Council will also take the opportunity to update those attending on a number of issues currently of interest in the village, such as the Henfield Common Ten-Year Management Plan, which has a number of exciting proposals. In addition, there will be short presentation on ‘Connector Plus,’ which is a group set up by the Medical Centre to recruit volunteers who can support and befriend isolated residents.

Discover the ‘Hidden Henfield – Henfield Trails,’ which is an exciting new project for Henfield residents and one which will hopefully attract new visitors into the village centre.

The formal part of the proceedings will commence at 7.30pm, but please come along from 7pm onwards to see the displays in the Hall about the Parish Council’s work and why Henfield is such a great place to live! Parish Councillors will be available after the meeting for an informal chat and light refreshments will be provided.

On a separate note, is there anyone out there that has a spare garage or storage space that they could ‘lend’ to Henfield Parish Council (HPC)?

With less work being carried out around the village by the County and District Councils, HPC has taken on extra part-time Works Officers to carry out some of this work. As a result, we have had to purchase additional equipment, which takes up space. Any offer of assistance would be gratefully received.

There will be a ‘Would you like to be a Councillor’ meeting on the morning of Saturday 16th March, where anyone considering standing as a Parish Councillor in the May 2019 elections can come along and find out a bit more about the role of Councillor. This will be held in the Garden Room at The Henfield Hall between 10am and 12pm.

Henfield Community Mosaics

The Community mosaics which link Henfield to the Suffragettes and Votes for Women were unveiled by Carol Eastwood, Chairman of Henfield Community Partnership and Elaine Goodyear, Deputy Chairman of Henfield Parish Council in St Peter’s Church on 30 January.

There are two Mosaics, one of a violet which was a symbol of the Suffragettes and one of the colours in their sashes. The second one is a nod to Elizabeth Robins and shows Backsettown House, the South Downs and the iconic poster of a suffragette in a white dress with a green, cream and violet sash.

They are visually stunning and Councillor Jonathan Chowen who is responsible for Horsham District’s Year of Culture (YoC) was very pleased that there will be a lasting legacy in Henfield from the YoC. The Mosaics were paid for with a grant from HDC YoC, a grant from Votes for Women Centenary Fund and a donation from HCP. People who had been involved in making the mosaics were invited to the reception together with other representatives from HDC. Creative Waves who designed and oversaw the completion of the mosaics were thrilled with the response and said how much they had enjoyed working on the project.

Permission has been requested from the Trustees of Henfield Hall to locate the mosaics in front of the Parish office windows near to the Museum where more information about the Suffragettes can be found.

Edge to Edge stitching workshops

Henfield Haven Quiz 2018

There were 77 Haven questionnaires attempted this year with one clear winner emerging to win the wonderful hamper full of seasonal items. We would like to thank everyone who took part and supported The Haven with their generosity during the festive season.

Our thanks to Phyl Eager our question mistress, as well as to those who generously donated goods and drinks for the prize. Also, without the traders in Henfield High Street who willingly sold them for us we wouldn’t have had such a successful response.

Our congratulations go to the winner Janet Bridgewater. Thank you all for taking part.

Lyn Sheppard and Liz Hodgson

The Edge to Edge stitching project, which runs as part of the Horsham District Year of Culture, will give people the opportunity to create handmade bunting for their community in their local church.

Artist and facilitator Luna Russell will lead the adult sessions and explained; “Edge to Edge aims to celebrate people and places that are connected by the Downs Link. Through a series of workshops, I will be creating bunting flags with participants. Each Flag will be embroidered with imagery and words that represent the maker and the community in which they live, inspired by their local heritage and the changing seasons and uses of the Downs Link.”

You can join the Edge to Edge adult stitching project in your area - no experience necessary.

Places are free but limited and must be booked in advance. There are classes at a variety of locations. The Henfield classes take place at St Peter’s Church on Wednesdays, 24 April, 1, 8, 15 May from 1 - 3.30pm and in Partridge Green at St Michael’s Church on Fridays, 3, 10, 17, 24 May 2019 from 9.30am -12noon.

Lloyds Pharmacy Prescription Assembly Solution (PAS)

In the Spring 2018 edition of ‘Between Friends’, the twice-yearly newsletter of the Friends of Henfield Medical Practice Trust, Lloyds Pharmacy management announced that the company had developed an off-site Prescription Assembly Solution (PAS) which was operating in other parts of the country.

Fantastic No Plastic

WE CAN DO BETTER! Remember Henfield’s successful Fantastic No Plastic carrier bag elimination effort a few years ago? What about wasteful packaging over all? Could we do better?

Cornerweighs was started over 20 years ago as a “scoop retail food outlet”. Over the years we reduced our loose food offerings as people appeared not to have the time, until 2018. Gathering food from bins is not a new concept, however, we have applied it to health foods, which I believe are ideally suited.

Best news yet, we have teamed up with The Ladybirds (former W.I. members), who are craft orientated and they will be making assorted sized bags for you to gather your food in. We love the idea of this partnership which celebrates community, the need for us all to be involved and a step closer to zero waste.

Toad in the Hole update

Thank you so much for the many donations we have received for the wood sculpture ‘Toad in the Hole’. I am pleased to say that we are now just a few hundred pounds off our target.

The tree to be carved is situated between the Leisure Centre and Tennis club. The carving will take place at the end of March, weather permitting! It will take two or three days to complete which will give us a great opportunity to see it take shape.

Keep your eyes and ears open! If you would like to donate towards the project you can do so by visiting www.gofundme.com/toad-in-the-hole.

Changing lives through music at Henfield Haven

Music therapy can bring joy and connection to those living with learning disabilities, mental health difficulties, dementia, stroke or brain injuries and autism.

The Haven is working in partnership with Nordoff Robbins to provide free music therapy sessions one day a week. Qualified and registered music therapist Kylie Richardson (who trained with the renowned independent music therapy charity) is at the Haven every Tuesday providing free oneto-one sessions (by referral) in the morning and free group sessions (bookable in advance) in the afternoon from 2.30 to 3.30pm.

Kylie said, “Music therapy is based on the belief that everyone has the ability to respond to music.

During sessions individuals use a variety of instruments, including the voice, to encourage active engagement in shared music making. I thoroughly enjoy meeting the people that attend my sessions each week and it’s rewarding to see them become more communicative whilst having fun.”

If you know of someone who would benefit from free music therapy sessions, please contact Kylie at kylie.richardson@nordoff-robbins.org.uk or speak to Lorette at the Haven on 01273 494747.

Celebrating the launch of Steyning Drama Club

ollowing the success of the Piazza Italia District Tours in 2015 and 2017, something extra special is being planned by Henfield Community Partnership for the Year of Culture in 2019. The District Showcase Tour on Sunday 24 March 2019 will see at least 30 cool cars on tour around the villages of West Sussex.

Local car clubs and motoring organisations have been approached to provide as wide a range of interesting cars as possible including: eight supercars; eight American cars; eight air-cooled engine cars; and eight interesting cars from the heydays of British motoring.

The tour will set off from Christ’s Hospital School (following a private driver’s breakfast), and visit the district stopping on the way at Billingshurst (10.45-11.30am); Pulborough (11.40 – 12.25pm); Storrington (12.40-1.45pm); Steyning (22.45pm) and finally in Henfield (3-3.45pm).

Henfield is planning a fantastic pit-stop for the tour and the organisers have applied to close the High Street temporarily so the cars can be displayed. The shops will be decorated with flags and bunting and there will be a range of other local vehicles on display on the High Street before the tour arrives. These will include vintage cars from local company Pilgrim Motorsports as well as a rally car from Coles Automotive, who are sponsors of the Henfield event.

Why not make a day of it? There will be plenty of street food available (including Ginger Rookes, Caphe Republic Vietnamese, Gelato Geminelli Italian ice cream and cream teas at The Free Church) and the High Street café’s and pubs will be serving food and drinks from lunch time onwards. There will also be street entertainers, BN5 magazine is running a car themed window dressing competition for the High Street shops and the White Hart will be hosting the Soho Village Jazz Band from 3.30pm.

At 2pm, organisers plan to close the High Street between the Shell Garage and the Church Street junction, until 4pm. The District Tour cars will arrive at 3pm and will park up through the High Street for 45 minutes and visitors will be able to view them. At 3.45pm, the District Tour will leave the Henfield High Street.

More information on the timings and exact route of the tour, will be posted on www.hdculture2019.co.uk and /hdculture2019 and social media. If you’re a classic car owner and would like to display your car, please contact events@henfieldcp.org. The organisers are encouraging visitors to walk to the village if possible. If you need to drive, both car parks will be free of charge, but please be aware that you won’t be able to access them between 2pm and 4pm.

EXPERIENCING MIDWIFERY IN TANZANIA 42 | BN5 Magazine

www.henfieldbn5.co.uk

MARCH 2019 | Local interest

A

s part of their midwifery training course, local student midwives Charlotte Slaughter and Cheryl Topley are required to experience the culture of childbirth in a different country. Wanting to experience something completely out of their comfort zones, they chose to visit a hospital in Tanzania in Eastern Africa.

Charlotte and Cheryl are in their third year of midwifery studies at the University of Brighton and the Princess Royal Hospital in Haywards Heath. Their two-week placement at a hospital in Tanzania (including accommodation, payment to the hospital and visas) was set-up by an organisation called Work the World and was paid for by the students themselves.

The Mwananyamala Hospital is one of four big hospitals in Dar-es-Salaam which is a major city and commercial port on Tanzania’s Indian Ocean coast. What Charlotte and Cheryl observed at the hospital was certainly culturally very different to their previous midwifery experiences.

Cheryl said: “Whilst basic midwifery is the same the world over, some of the birthing practices we saw were very different and the whole experience was quite overwhelming at times. For example, the women all labour together on the same ward and it’s continually busy – it was ‘one out, one in’ constantly.”

Charlotte added: “It was amazing to be totally immersed in a different culture and it certainly gave us both a greater appreciation of the NHS! It also made us realise that there’s no substitution for good basic knowledge and skills – we observed a lot of midwifery emergencies and it was very much back to basics as they just don’t have access to the technology that we have over here – even small things that we take for granted such as emergency buzzers.”

Charlotte and Cheryl were at the hospital in an observation role only, but were still able to try out the odd word of Swahili with the patients. “It made us think about how we can communicate better with our patients here who don’t have English as a first language,” said Cheryl. “It’s always possible to communicate care and compassion through body language.”

In Tanzania, just 64% of pregnant women have access to a skilled birthing practitioner. Although the hospital is state-run, pregnant women still need to pay a small amount in order to give birth there. They also need to supply their own medical kit which includes a needle and syringe, sterile gloves, cord clamps, cotton wool, mat and sheet, suture, razor blade and the hormone oxytocin. These kits are either purchased by the women at the hospital or given on prescription.

The students were allocated four shifts each per week and each one lasted between four and five hours. As well as observing on the labour ward at the hospital, they also spent time observing ante-natal, post-natal and neo-natal

01273 494002

practices. For the duration of the placement they stayed in the neighbourhood of Oyster Bay where they met with other student midwives and shared their common experiences.

Charlotte and Cheryl each paid for their placements themselves, but they also undertook fundraising beforehand in order to be able to take out donations of equipment to the hospital. These included basic medical supplies such as aprons, gloves, scrubs, blood pressure cuff and monitor, as well as hygiene products like sanitary towels, soaps and hand-gels, and even baby clothes.

Most the money they raised was through a coffee and cake sale they organised in Partridge Green Village Hall at the beginning of June 2017.

The event, which included a ‘Bake-Off’, raffle and games, raised over £1,140. Cheryl said: “We would like to thank Horsham Rotary Club for their donation, Ruby’s Bakery and Truffles Bakery for their donation of cakes, Rushfields Farm Shop for their donation of a large cake for the ‘guess the weight’ competition and a hamper for the raffle and the Partridge Green Co-Op for their donation of tea, coffee and milk.” Charlotte added: “And we would also like to say a huge thank you to everyone who donated prizes and came on the day of the event itself. Their generous support enabled us to donate lots of medical supplies and these were very gratefully received by the hospital.”

With Lorna you have an artist who knows what to do with all of these people and all these characters. She understands that you have to distil it to an essence in order to give it that sense of character.

I think that Lorna does play with narrative in a brilliant way and you can really have fun letting your eye wander over it picking out different characters.

Sky’s the limit for local artist Lorna Wheele

L

ocal Steyning artist Lorna Wheele had a taste of the limelight at the end of last year when she was featured in one of the 2018 Sky Arts Landscape Artist of the Year programmes.

Growing up in an artistic family (her Mum is an illustrator and her Dad is a graphic designer), Lorna can’t ever remember a time when she wasn’t drawing. After leaving Steyning Grammar School, she attended Brighton City College before studying Illustration with Animation at Kingston School of Art where she achieved a first class degree. “School was a great platform for me to practise my art and when I got to university, I realised how inspirational it is to go outside and draw. Now I do a lot of on-location drawing – I find it makes me notice the little things.”

Lorna is inspired by artists such as Alfred Wallis, Charles Keeping and Egon Schiele and describes her style as quite contemporary: “I like my illustrations to communicate things, both subtly and in a more direct way.” Much of her artwork is animated which brings it to life and is well suited to social media where you can see some of her work: “As soon as you make things move, it really engages people and Instagram is great for sharing my art with people” she said.

As an avid watcher of the Sky Arts Landscape Artist of the Year programme, Lorna applied to take part online after graduating last year, submitting a piece of work that she painted onlocation in Cornwall. She promptly forgot all about it until she was contacted by the production company who informed her that she was one

01273 494002

of 40 artists who had been selected from over 1,500 applicants to take part in the 2018 show.

The series showcases eight artists each week and they are challenged to all paint the same landscape and Lorna described the experience as being very intense: “We were painting from 7am through to 7pm and at first I was very nervous. However, as the day progressed I chilled out because I have lots of experience of drawing on-location and it’s what I love doing.”

The episode featuring Lorna aired on 13 November 2018 and she held viewing party with family and friends. Whilst she was one of the three artists shortlisted in the programme, unfortunately she was not selected to take part in the final but she received some fantastic feedback from the judges: “I liked the way she responds almost instinctively, she just starts almost like writing a story… you get started and then you see what might emerge from it. Young illustrator that’s just started? It’s very impressive.”

Lorna is very philosophical about her brush with fame: “The whole experience has been fantastic for me and has given me a real confidence boost.” Based back in Steyning, Lorna has lots of plans for the future. She is setting up an online shop where people can purchase prints of her work and is hoping to curate a local exhibition of work. She is also working with a national supermarket on a mural for one of their stores.

Lorna can be contacted at wheelelorna@live.co.uk

FULL CIRCLE

a Sussex premiere

P

lanning a wedding can be stressful at the best of times but when two of the grandparents of the bride are old enemies because of something that happened in 1969, there is definitely trouble ahead!

Henfield Theatre Company’s next production is a black comedy published only a few years ago and not previously performed in this area. ‘Full Circle’

by Janet Shaw, has a modern setting but explores the effects of decisions taken 40 years earlier when moral values and acceptable behaviour were quite different from what they are today.

Dee and Millie have not been on good terms ever since a mysterious incident that took place back then. That wouldn’t have been too much of a problem had Dee’s son Brian not met and fallen in love with Millie’s daughter Linda. To compound the discomfort of the two mothers, their children married and had a daughter, Nicky, and we join the story at the time when Nicky is preparing for her own marriage.

Linda is determined that the wedding day will be perfect but Brian is horrified by what is planned and the effects of the feud between their mothers.

When the preparations start falling apart and long unanswered family questions come to the fore, the stage is set for a roller-coaster of revelations and emotions. It turns out that the family’s cupboards are rather crowded with skeletons! Hold on to your wedding hats to see where the circle ends! (Please note that this is a very entertaining play, but probably not one for young children!).

The Henfield production is directed by Malcolm Harrington who is an old-hand, both on and off stage, and has done some professional acting.

He is working with a very strong cast so this will be a great evening’s entertainment. The last Henfield Theatre Company production was a sell-out so get your tickets early!

Martin Love

‘Full Circle’

Thursday 14 - Saturday 16 March 2019 The Henfield Hall at 7.45pm

Tickets, priced £8 and £10, are available from the box office at Stevens Estate Agents (01273 492141) or online at www.henfieldtheatrecompany.com The production is kindly sponsored by Swains Garden Centre and Farm Shop.

HENFIELD JOGGERS N

ext year, Henfield Joggers will be celebrating the club’s 30 year anniversary. The inaugural run took place on 1 April 1990 following an initiative by local people who wanted to do something fun, healthy and outdoors. While the club has many youthful runners, it’s also pleasing to report that many from that first run are not only still members but are also running stronger than ever! We think this is proof of the many health benefits of running, from general physical fitness, to that feel-good endorphin release, that helps with feelings of mental well-being.

Our members will tell you that running is one of the best stress relievers any of them know!

and Monday evening. Around that we also encourage and facilitate people to meet up and run together, because fixed times don’t always suit everybody’s busy lives. So, there is ALWAYS going to be someone to do your ‘homework’ with!

The next course will launch on 24 April from Henfield Leisure Centre at 7pm, and you’ll be well led by experienced runners Eb and Dani. Just drop us an Email at enquiries@henfieldjoggers. co.uk to book yourself in. The £25 cost is very reasonable given that it also includes membership of Henfield Joggers for a whole year.

Don’t take our word for it!

We asked our members what they would say to anyone considering joining us, whether new to running or not, and this is what they said: For total beginners and those returning to “For me HJ is all about the team spirit and running, we hold a Start Running course support. I can honestly say I laugh so much more each year, setting out from Henfield Leisure when around the HJ lot - it’s an extra workout!

I’ve met THE most wonderful group of friends I We start off very gently by jogging for a just couldn’t be without.

“A real ‘can do’ attitude. We’re all very Perhaps it’s not so obvious, but to start running supportive, off and on a run. Whether it takes commitment and a degree of effort be about diet, training, clothes, the best outside of the running course. Running three local pubs, nice days out with the kids, times a week is strongly recommended to build stamina, and to help this we support new runners gardening advice, we discuss it all!” through more informal group runs every Friday “I think the main thing for beginners is just to turn

up. Don’t worry about fitness, having the right clothes, being nervous. Just turn up, because everyone else is in exactly the same position!”

“This time last year I never even dreamt about entering a half marathon, I joined the Start Running Course last year and by the time this is published I will have just finished one!”

“I am new to the joggers and have been made so welcome. Everyone has been so supportive, friendly and it’s fun, it’s very social and helps to keep you running.”

“Their involvement at a community level is fantastic. From the rededication of the Memorial field to last year’s Walk for Olivia, HJ goes beyond just running.”

“Better than counselling and you get the health benefits thrown in! Such a positive, supportive group of people. Nothing is too much trouble and anything is possible!”

“Team work makes for dream work. HJ have a true sense of ‘team’ from weekly runs, fun runs and all challenges no matter how big or small.”

“It’s not just about the running, it’s the fantastic extra activities we do like The 3 Peaks Challenge, the occasional canoe/run, or cycle event and also the friendships we gain. HJ’s rock.”

“The great friends made, and amazing experiences shared. That combined with the wonderful club spirit and all waiting

01273 494002

to cheer in the last person at any run we go to. Proud to be a Henfield Jogger.”

“A supportive, lively community. It doesn’t matter how far you run but how it makes you feel.”

We don’t just run

We strongly believe in being part of the village community, and in 2018 we raised over £4k for St Barnabas House Hospice, Worthing by completing the Three Peaks Challenge, and our very green Archie (come on, what else are you going to call an inflatable arch?) was prominent at the fabulous Memorial Field event in September where we organised a mystery trail for families, and again at the emotional Walk for Olivia. Our members love to get involved in community activities.

Open to all

Our main Club meeting is each Wednesday night at 7pm with a purely social running emphasis – an opportunity to catch up or discover new friends while running at a pace that allows conversation.

More about us, including how to join, details of events and news items etc., can be found on our website: www.henfieldjoggers.co.uk, or find us on Facebook where we have a Public group, and once a member, a Private group with more detailed information.

It is a little-known fact that during this time we have completed at least 93 projects for individuals in the community.

These range from repairs of household and garden items (including chairs, tables, chess pieces, music stands, parasols, umbrella stands and rabbit hutches) to requests for new items (such as window boxes, bug houses, garden planters, garden gates and signage).

We have also helped many organisations in the village including the Haven, the Parish Council and the Gardens and Arts organisers by making or repairing signs. All this work has been undertaken by our incredible members who donate their time, expertise, energy and enthusiasm to help other local people. Everyone involved in The Henfield Shed is a volunteer.

Also thank you to everyone who has made donations to us in the last year and please remember if you are planning a spring clean of your shed or garage think of The Henfield Shed before you visit the tip or recycling centre!

We always welcome donations of timber and old or unwanted tools which we either use ourselves or resell to help cover our running costs. Please get in contact with us if you have something you would like to donate by 68 | BN5 Magazine

emailing us at info@henfieldshed.org.uk The second year for The Henfield Shed started with an invitation from Red Oaks Care Home to help residents build bird boxes. Red Oaks Activities Manager Marilyn Knight decided to ask the Shed for help. Marilyn said; “We were taking part in the RSPB Big Garden Bird Watch and I thought the Shed could come along and build bird boxes with the residents. I am so pleased I asked them, residents and staff alike had a fantastic time. The room was buzzing! It was such a positive experience for everyone at Red Oaks to have members of the Shed with us.” Henfield Shed Trustee Tim Perrin agreed; “I enjoyed the afternoon tremendously. It was great to work together as a Shed team out in the community and to support the residents at Red Oaks having fun putting the bird boxes together themselves.”

If you think The Henfield Shed may be able to help you or your club, society or organisation please get in touch by emailing info@ henfieldshed.org.uk or visit us in the buildings behind Southdowns Galleries in the High Street (next to KT Nails). The Henfield Shed is open every week on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday mornings 10am-12noon. Also, if you have some ideas of things you would like us to make please let us know. We love a challenge and really enjoy bringing ideas to life. We look forward to hearing from you!

Guidance for EU27 citizens living in the UK As we get closer to Brexit – and at the time of writing, there is still no clear idea of its final shape - it is an unsettling time for EU citizens living in the UK. The government has published some helpful guidance – full details can be found at gov.uk/settled-statuseu-citizens-families. So whether you employ EU27 citizens or you are an EU27 citizen yourself, this is very relevant.

Overview of the EU Settlement Scheme Under the (proposed) Withdrawal Agreement, if you are an EU citizen and want to continue living in the UK after 30 June 2021, you and your family will need to apply to the EU Settlement Scheme. If your application is successful, you will be given either settled or presettled status.

The EU Settlement Scheme allows you and your family members to continue to live, work and study in the UK. It means you continue to be eligible for: • public services, such as healthcare and schools; • public funds and pensions; and • British citizenship, if you meet the requirements and want to apply.

Who should apply If you are an EU citizen or a family member of an EU citizen, you will usually need to apply if you want to stay in the UK after 30 June 2021; this includes if you are married to a British citizen. Even if you have a ‘UK permanent residence document’ you will still need to apply.

If you are from outside the EU, then you must be in a relationship with an EU citizen as their spouse, civil partner or unmarried partner. You will need a residence card to prove your relationship, if you’re unmarried.

You do not need to apply if: • you are an Irish citizen; or • you have indefinite leave to enter the UK; or • you have indefinite leave to remain in the UK. Note your family members from outside either the UK or Ireland will still need to apply, even if you do not need to.

When you can apply The government is currently in the process of piloting the EU Settlement Scheme; late last year, the pilot was open to a select group of EU citizens including those working in the higher education, health and social care sectors, but the scope of this pilot is being increased.

There are currently two dates:

1. EU citizens who hold valid passports containing biometric chips, or non-EU citizens who are the family members of an EU citizen and have been issued with a biometric residence card by the Home Office - can apply now. They must also either be: • working in the higher education, health or social care sectors, as set out below; or • a child under the age of 18 being looked after by one of the local authorities involved in the pilot or eligible for support or assistance from one of those local authorities because you were looked after by them as a child; or • receiving support from one of the community organisations involved in the pilot.

The reason for this restriction is that those applying at this stage must use the “EU Exit: ID Document Check” app, which is used to verify the applicant’s identity by reading the biometric data in their passport or biometric residence card. The app is currently only available on tablets and smartphones operating on the Android platform.

2. For those who do not hold biometric identity documents or have access to an Android device, the Scheme is due to be open fully by 30 March. The deadline for applying will be 30 June 2021.

Fees On 21 January, the government announced that there will be no fee when the scheme opens fully on 30 March. Anyone who has applied already, or who applies and pays a fee during the test phase, will have their £65 fee refunded.

The link in my opening paragraph gives extensive information on what you need to do and when.

If you are an employer, Brexit will provide many challenges on the employment front. It is important that you give staff the practical support they need.

Know your starting position – analyse the size, location and profile of your workforce, identifying where your critical skills lie and also the vulnerabilities of you and your supply chain.

Assess your exposure to extra costs from immigration resource to extra paperwork and fees to support foreign nationals. One thing is certain, going forward the hiring and retention of staff will cost more in terms of both time and costs in the post-Brexit era.

For further help and guidance, please contact Paul Samrah, Brexit Impact Specialist at Kingston Smith, on 01737 778546 or psamrah@kingstonsmith.co.uk
