MAN, 51, DIES AFTER ATTACK IN LORD STREET

A 51-YEAR-OLD dad has died after being attacked in Southport town centre following the Champions League final on Saturday night.

The victim, named as Ventsislav Marginov, originally from Bulgaria, and his two sons, had been in Victoria Park to watch the final on the big screens, but they were viciously attacked near to the Scarisbrick Hotel by a group of men while making their way back to their Southport home.

It is believed the man was knocked to the floor and assaulted. One of his sons, aged 28, was also assaulted suffering facial injuries.

Both men were taken to Aintree Hospital for treatment where the father’s condition was originally described as critical. The shocking incident happened at about 10.40pm when officers on patrol in the town centre spotted a disturbance on Lord Street and saw the man lying on the floor unconscious.

Detectives are looking at the possibility that the attack may be linked to another earlier assault at the Potting Shed bar and restaurant on Lord Street. A 32-year-old

Report by Henry James male was assaulted outside the restaurant.

He suffered facial injuries and was taken to hospital.

Detective Inspector Gary Stratton, said: “Our investigation into this incident continues and we remain very keen to speak to anyone with any information that could assist our enquiries.

“This was a vicious attack on a father and his two sons as they were making their way home after watching the Champions League final in a local pub. Detectives are trying to ascertain the motive for the attack.

Crucial information "Southport was busy on Saturday night as a result of the football and I would urge anyone who was in the Lord Street area, near to the Scarisbrick Hotel, who witnessed the incident and has yet to come forward, or who has any mobile phone footage to get in touch.

“I would also ask those who may have been driving in the area at the time to please check and send in any dashcam footage. You may have captured the incident, or people making off from the scene and your footage could prove vital. A number of people also spoke to officers who were first at the scene of this assault, but they didn’t leave their details. I would ask them to come forward as they could have crucial information.

“We are committed to bringing those responsible to justice. We know it was a busy time of day with many people in the area and anyone with any information, no matter how small is asked to contact Merseyside Police or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”

Merseyside Police later confirmed James Peter Gelling, 31 years, of Hampton Road, Southport, had earlier been charged with causing grievous bodily harm in connection with the Lord Street incident.

He was remanded in custody, and appeared at South Sefton Magistrates Court yesterday (Tuesday).

A 32-year-old man from Southport arrested on suspicion of Section 18 wounding with intent has been released on conditional bail.

Report by Tom Martin METRO mayor of Liverpool Steve Rotheram has joined forces with his Greater Manchester counterpart, Andy Burnham, to call for Northern Rail to be stripped of its franchise and for the service to be taken over by the government.

The pair released a damning statement in which they criticised the rail provider for its ‘consistent Metro mayors Rotheram and Burnham failures’.

Northern Rail, which operates a network that “We agree the North deserves the best possible rail covers cities including Liverpool, Manchester, service and are working hard to improve the perLeeds, Newcastle and Sheffield, is part of European formance and reliability for customers. “Since last year, we have made a large number of transport group Arriva, which in turn is owned by improvements for our customers - including better Germany's state-owned Deutsche Bahn.

All aboard for borough’s second Community Police Station launch!

New crime-fighting facility opens in Ainsdale Railway Station Report by Danielle Thompson

IT was full steam ahead for Sefton’s second Community Police Station when it officially opened its doors in Ainsdale Railway Station.

The Community Police Station is designed to make officers and PCSOs from Merseyside Police’s local policing team more accessible to people living in and visiting the village and is part of a 10 year strategy to update the force’s ageing estate and put more money to frontline policing.

The proposal to co-locate the new Community Police Station in the train station was first raised with Merseyside Police and Crime Commissioner, Jane Kennedy, by Ainsdale councillors in 2015.

Merseyrail then agreed to house the new station free of charge within the railway station as part of its Corporate Responsibility Programme, meaning there are no costs to Merseyside Police for re-locating to the site, or ongoing rent charges.

Work on the new facility began in March 2017 and on Tuesday, May 28, the commissioner was joined

by Merseyside Police’s superintendent Graeme Robson, local policing inspector Graham Fisher, Ainsdale ward councillors, representatives from Sefton Council and Merseyrail to officially declare the station open for business.

The new Community Police Station will be open on a regular, but not continuous basis and includes a private interview room and facilities for officers. It will not house custody suites or cells. Surgeries will be publicised at the station, on local billboards and through the force’s website and social media channels.

Community Police Stations are designed to be accessible, visible centres which are co-located with partners in busy neighbourhood hubs which are already well-used by the communities they serve.

They are a key part of the PCC’s strategy to transform Merseyside Police’s stations with the aim of saving £2.5m on running costs every year, money which can be redirected straight into frontline policing.

Jane Kennedy said: “I’m delighted that we are now in a position to open the doors to Sefton’s second Community Police Station here in Ainsdale Railway Station.

“This is an excellent place for a Community Police Station and I’m very grateful to Ainsdale’s ward councillors for proposing this location and for getting on board with my plans to make Merseyside Police more accessible.

“Thanks to Merseyrail’s kind offer to house this Community Police Station for free, we will also be saving money every year on our annual running costs. This is money which can be put straight back into Merseyside Police’s budget to be spent on policing our communities.

“Merseyside Police has experienced some of the

Plan agreed for parish council to take over village leisure centre WEST Lancs Council has agreed to transfer responsibility for running Banks Leisure Centre to North Meols Parish Council.

The centre, in Greaves Hall Avenue, is currently operated on behalf of the borough council

by West Lancashire Community Leisure Trust with Serco as operator.

Under the new strategy the council, WLCLT and Serco will work with the parish council to develop a robust business plan to enable the parish council to take over running the facility from April next year.

The decision follows months of ‘positive’ discussions between the parties and other local partners and the parish council will aim to develop a ‘strong community-centred ethos’ to the centre alongside the existing sports elements.

Councillor Yvonne Gagen, West Lancs Council’s portfolio holder for leisure, said: “Banks Leisure Centre is a valuable community asset for the residents of the Northern Parishes.

“The council strongly believes North Meols Parish Council would be an appropriate operator for the facility as it understands the existing usage along with opportunities for future development. The development of this strategy will allow the building to be utilised to deliver specific programmes to meet the needs of the local community.”

Chairman of North Meols Parish Council, Bill Abam, added: “We have a vision for the centre to be at the very heart of our community, led by local people for local people, and we hope residents will get involved and support us.”

The parish council will hold a public meeting at St Stephen’s Institute and Club, Hoole Lane, on Tuesday, June 18 between 7 and 9pm to inform the community about plans for the facility.

people tell me all the time when I attend events and meet the public.

“This new Community Police Station will put the neighbourhood team right at the heart of the community in a busy location which is well used by the community. I hope it will be a valuable asset to the people of Ainsdale.”

Merseyside Police’s Community Policing Superintendent Graeme Robson added: “Community Police Stations are designed to be accessible, visible centres which give local people access to their neighbourhood police team in a busy, centrally-located base. They put our teams right at the heart of the communities they serve.

“Our local policing officers will be on hand to listen, and to provide advice and reassurance. By holding regular surgeries, members of the public have the opportunity to pop in and discuss their concerns and share their views with their local team in a convenient location.”

By replacing inefficient and expensive old police stations with new Community Police Stations, the Commissioner is working to reduce the annual running cost of Merseyside Police’s estate in order to protect 65 police officer jobs.

Sefton’s first Community Police Station in Maghull Town Hall opened in March 2018.

Former Blundell Arms pub damaged in blaze AN investigation has been launched after a fire caused ‘considerable damage’ to the former Blundell Arms pub in Birkdale.

The incident has come as a huge blow to residents who are campaigning to turn the building into a community hub.

Four fire engines attended the scene at Upper Aughton Road at 9.23am on Saturday, June 1 and Merseyside Police were also in attendance.

The ground floor, first floor and roof space of the property were damaged in the blaze. Residents and businesses in the area were advised to keep windows and doors closed.

Firefighters had to remove parts of the roof to allow crews to check for hot spots

Part of the roof at the former Blundell Arms was destroyed by the fire

Hi-tech cameras installed at Birkdale level crossing Report by Kenny Parker NETWORK Rail has warned motorists that they can now be caught on camera if they ignore red lights at level crossings.

Hi-tech safety enforcement cameras have been installed at high-risk locations including Crescent Road in Birkdale.

Like speed cameras, red light safety enforcement (RLSE) cameras can identify vehicles which jump the lights at level crossings.

Offenders are automatically notified of their offence and face a £60 fine and points on their licence, or they can choose to sit a level crossing safety awareness course.

The rail company say jumping the lights at level crossings can have catastrophic consequences, risking not only their own lives, but also those of train drivers and their passengers.

Mark Brunnen, level crossing route asset manager at Network Rail, said: “These cameras are a proven deterrent to improve safety and discourage motorists from taking unnecessary risks when crossing the railway.

“Knowing that jumping the lights or swerving the barriers at a level crossing will almost certainly result in a prosecution is enough to make most drivers think twice.

“This isn’t about money, as Network Rail doesn’t receive any of the fines collected. This is about keeping road vehicles and trains safely apart. For us, the perfect scenario is to have everyone cross

the railway safely with no penalties issued.”

As an extra deterrent, signs will be installed to warn motorists they could be caught on camera.

The cameras are part of a wider £99m investment to improve level crossing safety across the rail network.

There are approximately 3,800 public and private level crossings across the UK rail network.

While Britain has one of the safest level crossing records in Europe, Network Rail says that every year people lose their lives driving through level crossings – and there are countless more nearmisses.

The company says that since the start of 2012, across the UK there have been 9,314 road vehicle incidents at level crossings – almost half were avoidable accidents, caused by drivers ignoring or disregarding barriers and warning lights.

Police appeal after fatal road accident POLICE are appealing for information after a man died in a road collision in Scarisbrick on Wednesday May 29.

Lancashire Police were called at 9.50pm to reports of a one vehicle accident on Southport Road between New Hall Drive and Snape Green.

The incident involved a Volvo V70 which left the road and collided with a wall and a tree before coming to a rest in the garden of a residential property.

RSPB expands wetlands site

...to the size of 38 football pitches in £464,000 acquisition

Visit us @ www.ChampNews.com l 7

Master Lock & Safe AUTO LOCKSMITHS Specialists in Vehicle Keys

Report by Danielle Thompson THE RSPB has acquired grasslands the size of 38 football pitches next to their Marshside nature reserve.

Staff at the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds won £464,000 funding from the Biffa Award, which allowed the society to buy Crossens Inner Marsh, adjacent to their reserve at Marine Drive.

The Biffa Award is a charity whose grants scheme gives funds to projects that provide/improve biodiversity, community spaces, cultural facilities and places for outdoor recreation.

The wet grasslands marsh is already home to over-wintering birds such as wigeons, pink-footed geese, black-tailed godwits and golden plovers.

The funding, which allowed the charity to purchase the land, will also fund major improvements to the marsh to benefit rare and unusual wildlife including nesting lapwings, redshanks, and avocets - which are the emblem of the RSPB - along with brown hares.

The habitat works, which will take place after the breeding season this summer, will also improve the control of water levels on the reserve helping to prevent prolonged flooding of the rare coastal grassland.

Tony Baker, site manager for the RSPB Ribble Reserves said: “Purchasing Crossens Inner Marsh is the final piece of the jigsaw for us, not only as an extension to our well known Marshside reserve, but also in the completion of the Ribble Estuary National Nature Reserve (NNR).

“We’re working in partnership here with Natural England who oversee England’s NNRs, which enables us to do more for nature by creating oppor-

tunities for bigger, better and more joined-up management of these vital wild spaces.

“Our new site at Crossens Inner Marsh, and indeed the whole of the Ribble Estuary NNR, is home to a range of incredible creatures that thrive in this harsh environment. In addition to sheltering birds and mammals from human disturbance, the site is stuffed with mini-beasts, which provide a feast for wetland birds. The marsh also benefits people, by reducing the flood risk from the sea to homes and businesses.”

Gillian French, Biffa Award head of grants added: “It is really important that we continue to support projects like this which provide and enhance habitats for a wide range of species. We can’t wait to see even more birds using the site following the improvements.”

“The event will be opened at 1pm by a special guest from Starkidz. We’ve also been given a signed football from Everton Football Club which will be up for a prize in our free raffle draw on the day.

Myself and colleagues from the centre will also be available on the day to talk to adults about the practical and emotional support we can offer.”

Dr Graeme Allan, NHS Southport and Formby CCG cancer clinical lead, added: “It’s so important that families and carers are aware of the help they can access for their children which is the main reason for planning this event.

“We hope everyone who attends has an enjoyable day and that the information and resources provided will be useful, either now or in the future.

“We are hoping that as well as giving children and their families the chance to see how they can get support it will also raise awareness of the centre in Southport for those affected by cancer.”

Resort man is caught drink-driving for fourth time, magistrates are told A Southport man has lost his licence for four years after being caught drink driving for the fourth time, when he was also over the limit for drugs.

John Garnett, 32, of Threlfalls Lane, appeared at Sefton Magistrates Court on May 22 where he pleaded guilty to driving with excess alcohol, two offences of drug driving, and two Brenda Porter

‘Tireless champion’ Brenda is nominated for unsung heroines award Report by Danielle Thompson AN inspirational women from Southport has reached the finals of the 2019 Merseyside Women of the Year Awards.

Brenda Porter, from Ainsdale, is in the final 26 of the prestigious awards, which aim to ‘find and reward the unsung heroines for their achievements in just doing what they do best, changing lives and giving extra meaning to people’s lives’.

A public vote is running until Monday, June 10 to decide the overall Woman of the Year, which will be announced at the awards ceremony on June 28.

Former Tory councillor Brenda Porter, 80, has been described by the awards organisers, as ‘a tireless Champion of the Community in Ainsdale’.

Her nomination reads: “Her impact is far-reaching. Brenda has not let much get in her way but her age and gender have meant that she has always had to work harder to prove herself.�

The grandmother of six is the Chairperson of Ainsdale in Bloom, Ainsdale Community Wildlife Trust and of the Friends of Revitalise Sandpipers, a community group whose support enables the Southport centre to provide life-enhancing respite holidays for disabled people and carers.

She is also the Chairman of Governors at Merefield Special School on Westminster Drive in Ainsdale; a trustee of the Southport charity, the Brighter Living Partnership; and the secretary of Southport in Bloom. She was one of the founders of the team that created the Ainsdale Village Church Community Garden and until recently, a trustee on the Sefton Council for Voluntary Service (CVS).

Brenda told the Champion: “When approached on being nominated it was a complete surprise. “As with all successes so many people are involved and I have been fortunate in having good people around me including the ongoing support of my husband Ken and my family. “Should I be successful in the finals it will be for Ainsdale and the wider areas of Southport as my hometown and all those who have given me their support over many years.� l To vote, visit https://merseysidewomenoftheyear.co.uk/

He said he’d consumed three or four pints of lager in the afternoon but did not think he would be over the limit.

He also said he had taken the drugs over the previous weekend but did not realise how long they stayed in his system.

Magistrates sentenced him to 12 month community order including 120 hours of unpaid work, participation with 16 days of a rehabilitative activity, and six months of an alcohol treatment program.

He was also banned from driving for four years and ordered to pay ÂŁ170 in costs and victim surcharge.

It’s a real pleasure to stage Emergency Services Day, says park owner, Norman MEMBERS of the emergency services are set to enjoy discounted summer fun at Southport Pleasureland at a third annual celebration day on Saturday, June 15.

The team at the amusement park are offering members of the emergency services ÂŁ50 of ride tokens for ÂŁ10, to thank the services for all they do.

The initiative was started in 2017 because the owner of Pleasureland, Norman Wallis, wanted to thank staff for the exemplary care they gave him during a spell in hospital, and for their incredible efforts following the Manchester terrorist attack.

The Emergency Services Day, which will run from 11am to 6pm, is open to workers in the ambulance, police and fire service, Royal National Lifeboat Institution employees, all armed forces (full time and reserves), doctors, nurses and NHS workers, prison officers and anyone else involved as long as they are a direct employee of the emergency services.

Norman Wallis said: “There are very few, if any, people who don’t owe some debt of thanks to the

Crimestoppers, the charity that enables people to speak up anonymously, is offering the reward to find the whereabouts of Louis Simpson, who is wanted for conspiracy to supply controlled drugs between June 1, 2018 and November 23, 2018 in Carlisle.

He originates from Liverpool and is believed to be in the Merseyside area. He is described as white, 6ft tall and of proportionate build with collar-length brown hair and a scar on his right leg Gary Murray from Crimestoppers, said: “Everyone has the right to live their lives safe from crime.

Simpson is wanted for conspiracy to supply controlled drugs in Carlisle and investigators have been unable to find him.

“Given the severity of the offence, Crimestoppers charity is supporting law enforcement by offering this reward to encourage anyone who knows where Simpson is based, to let us know 100% anonymously.

“Some people find it difficult to speak directly to authorities which is why our charity is here to help.

We’ve been around for over 30 years and have always kept our promise of anonymity to everyone who contacts us online or via the phone. If you know where he is, you can call us on 0800 555 111 or use our anonymous online form at Crimestoppers-uk.org.”

City region declares a ‘climate emergency ’ LIVERPOOL City Region Combined Authority has declared a ‘climate emergency’ at its annual meeting.

Metro Mayor Steve Rotheram says the move is ‘in recognition of the pressing threat of climate change and the urgent need to take action’.

A report will now be published to show how the Combined Authority (CA) will take steps to improve the environment.

Mr Rotheram said: “As a city region we are already making huge progress in this area. We were the first in the country to adopt a Zero Carbon target of 2040 - ten years earlier than the nation target - and we have launched a £10million Green Investment Fund.

“We have the first fleet of 25 zero emission hydrogen buses coming to the city region next year, we have the Mersey Tidal commission and we already have one of the biggest wind farms in Europe in Liverpool Bay. “But I think we are all aware that we can always look to do more, so after consulting with the other members of the Combined Authority, I can announce that we will declare a climate emergency in the Liverpool City Region.

“This action demonstrates that we understand the pressing threat of climate change and the urgent need to act and we will ask officers to prepare a paper for the next Combined Authority meeting providing further detail of the commitments the CA is making on this agenda.”

Man liked restaurant’s steak knives so much he stole them, court told By our Court Reporter A DINER was so impressed with a restaurant’s steak knives he took two of them with him when he left - along with five shot glasses.

Shortly afterwards that evening drunken Michael Leary was spotted brandishing the knives near Tesco Express in Southport and the police were alerted.

Officers found him in nearby Saunders Street and told him three times to drop the knives but he did not do so, said Nardeen Nemat, prosecuting.

When they drew their CS gas sprays and again told him to drop the knives he then threw them on the ground.

“He disclosed he had stolen them along with five shot glasses from the restaurant where he had been. He said

Diner was later seen brandishing them near a town centre Tesco Express store he was taking them home as they were better than his and he was drunk,” said Miss Nemat.

Forty-seven-year-old Leary, of Station Road, Banks, Southport, pleaded guilty to theft and two offences of possessing knives in a public place on March 16 this year.

Jim Smith, defending, told Liverpool Crown Court that Leary accepted his behaviour could potentially have had very serious consequences and he is remorseful. “He has learnt a salutary lesson.”

He said that Leary knows he has to

stop drinking or will become unwell.

Judge Andrew Menary, QC, the recorder of Liverpool, said that he had caused alarm to members of the public and when approached by police his behaviour “was disgraceful and potentially dangerous.”

He told him, “You’ve plainly had a very real problem with alcohol for many years. Despite your chronic dependency on alcoholic you have managed to hold down a job throughout that period.”

Judge Menary said that him receiving alcohol treatment and keeping his job was the best and most constructive way of avoiding repetition of his behaviour.

He sentenced him to six months imprisonment suspended for 12 months, ordered him to carry out 15 days rehabilitation activities and attend a six month alcohol treatment programme.

SOUTHPORT MP Damien Moore visited Southport College to see the specialist training facilities are available to students.

Following a recent visit to an Apprenticeship Guidance Event, Mr Moore returned to the Mornington Road college to see for himself the specialist training provided for full time students and apprentices.

Mr Moore toured the gas, plumbing, electrical and engineering facilities, meeting two apprentices Ella Harper and Jack Eckersley who both work for Lattimer, a Southport engineering company.

He also visited the college’s University Centre where he spoke with adult students. The students were able to relay their support for the framework that is in place to help them through their studies at the college and the pathway to future employment.

Mr Moore said: “I was delighted to be invited back to the College to witness the high level of training and education available to local young people and adults.

“I will shortly be inviting senior colleagues from the Treasury to visit Southport College to see for themselves the excellent work that is being done and appreciate more fully the support and resources needed going forward.”

College principal John Clarke added: “We thank Mr Moore for the interest he has shown in post-16 education and for taking the time to speak to students and staff.

He recognises the importance of the college to Southport and fully understands our need to continue to invest in high quality resources and facilities.”

LETTERS to the Editor Cricket on sticky wicket In 2018 Lancashire County Cricket Club played Worcestershire CCC at Southport & Birkdale CC, Trafalgar Road.

The match lasted the allocated four days with a total of 952 runs scored. This year Lancashire have recently played Worcestershire at Emirates Old Trafford and the match lasted barely two and a half days with a total of 654 runs scored.

Lancashire have decided not to play at Southport this year stating they are concerned about the quality of the wicket and maintain preferring to play an all ticket match against Durham at

the remote rural location of Sedbergh School in the Yorkshire Dales commencing Sunday, June 30.

In an effort to appease many disgruntled members they are offering daily free return coach travel to Sedbergh for those who can manage to get to Old Trafford for 7.30am and a free shuttle bus from Oxenholme railway station.

Surely, Southport, Liverpool or Blackpool would have been a much better option.

Jeff Carter, Southport

Did headstone come from the Blitz?

I believe your recent article on a headstone found on Formby beach might be incorrect.

I saw and photographed the headstone in question in February and it was in between Hall Road and Hightown (more Hall Road).

Whilst it could have been moved by the tide, I believe your reader is correct in that it formed part of the Blitz rubble

and therefore I believe nothing to do with Harrington Barracks or the National Trust Car Park.

Tim Unwin, Formby

Town’s indoor market should be moved to former BHS building I read with interest the Champion’s report on the empty buildings in Southport.

To start with Southport Market is totally in the wrong place. Early on in the year we lost the best delicatessen I have ever encountered which was situated in the current indoor market, and having lived throughout England I have visited many.

We need to look at the Altrincham scheme and create the same environment they have created. The indoor market needs to be re located into the BHS building. This should then breath life into Chapel Street, the Cambridge Arcade which will hopefully encourage more traders if the footfall increases.

Regarding the other large buildings such as Debenhams and Pizza Express, it is very difficult for any trader to take over these large buildings therefore change of use needs to be explored, flats if possible.

There is always the issue of parking which does detract people from coming into Southport, so more use of park and ride needs to be encouraged. There is no park and ride on the side of town coming from Formby and Liverpool. If people do want to use a park and ride they have to get through the usual traffic jams in order to be able to use the facility.

I have complained many times regarding litter and the state of our streets.

Chapel Street needs a good clean, not just rubbish removing but the pavements cleaned. Also there should be some way of making landlords clean up their empty premises.

On a recent visit to Chester we noticed the empty BHS building was covered in a very attractive poster on the inside. This ensured that the building did not look derelict and must have made it more inviting to prospective traders.

There are many things that could be done in Southport but it does need capital investment. However, whilst we wait for money to be provided we do need to get back to some basics such as keeping the town clean and making sure there are sufficient facilities for our visitors.

A concerned resident.

Schools to blame for poor turnout?

On Wednesday (May 22) I had the pleasure of attending the Sefton Schools One Mile Races in Victoria Park, Southport.

This has been an annual event for approximately four decades and sees young people from school years 5 to 11 running over a one-mile course in separate races throughout the evening.

Until very recent years, the event was strongly supported by schools from across Sefton and attracted scores of children in each race, and just as many parents spectating.

Sadly, despite the great efforts of the event organisers from Southport and Waterloo Athletics Club, this year's turnout was the most disappointing yet, with as few as four runners taking part in one of the high school races, and less than 10 in several others.

I speculated on the night over the reasons for this sad decline, and I chatted briefly with the dedicated volunteers who put weeks of their own time into staging this event for the betterment of our young people.

Of course there is never any single reason, but central to the issue appears to be a clear lack of support from primary schools - and particularly secondary schools - from across the borough.

I learnt that every single Sefton school had been sent information about the

event and one volunteer had actually phoned around to offer a gentle reminder. (During this exercise, the volunteer was told by one high school: ‘we don’t have any runners in this school’!)

Please let me be clear, I fully appreciate the resource and time pressures that have been imposed on headteachers, teachers and schools in general, but the schools were not required to send a member of staff on the night - simply to publicise and promote the event through their networks and encourage anybody interested to turn up and pay the £1.50 entry fee on the night.

If you are a parent reading this, and knew nothing about the event, perhaps you might ask your child’s school ‘why?’

Furthermore, if you are a headteacher, a class teacher, a PE co-ordinator, a school admin officer, or a school governor, perhaps you might consider putting a marker in your calendar for next May when this fine event will take place once again.

Your school WILL be sent the information, and you are merely asked to spread the word to your students and their families.

Better still, it would be great to see you there!

Stretched to the limit I was walking my dog along Portland Street field in Southport when it cut across the grass by about a foot.

It wasn’t doing any harm, he just scampered across, no fouling. I turned around to see an enforcement officer who gave me an on-the-spot £75 fine for my dog being on the grass. He reeled off the legislation, but I had no cash so had to give my card details. I looked like a criminal.

So, beware! No warnings, just a fine. Keep your dog on its lead - and no cutting over the grass, or you’ll pay dearly!

It begs the question: ‘Where exactly is my dog meant to stretch his legs?

Exasperated, Southport

They ’re the cat’s whiskers!

This Volunteers Week (1-7 June), I want to thank volunteers who give so much of their time, skill and dedication for the benefit of cats in our care.

At Cats Protection we were grateful to involve over 11,200 volunteers during 2018. Volunteers are truly the foundation and life-blood of the charity.

Whether volunteering in our shops or populating our social media channels; researching advocacy campaigns or fostering kittens, they ensure that every day we move closer to our vision of a world where every cat is treated with kindness.

Without them, we would not have been able to help rehome or reunite 44,000 cats and neuter around 143,000. Nor would we have delivered 1,693 education talks to 52,343 people. They are vital to every aspect of everything we achieve.

We would love to hear from cat lovers who would like to help cats locally. They can visit our website at www.cats.org.uk/getinvolved/volunteering to find out more.

Bring parking costs down to encourage more visitors I think Southport’s empty buildings situation isn’t helped by the cost of parking in the town.

Why doesn’t Sefton Council offer parking free after 3pm to give visitors time to shop and have a meal without having to move their car after two hours on Lord Street and surrounding streets.

Southport is supposed to be a town in bloom, but the

roundabouts, starting at Crossens, are all 2ft high in weeds which is not a very good greeting for visitors arriving in the town.

Southport was the icon of Lancashire when I was young - Lord Street was as good as Princess Street in Edinburgh and a great place to shop and come on holiday.

Joan Witter, Southport

The imposing Emanuel Church in Cambridge Road, Southport is the subject of our Picture of the Week, taken during a glorious sunset by Andrew Ratcliff, of Churchtown.

Climate change means we must make sacrifices I think A.J. Fuller is missing the point about the young climate change protesters.

Many seen on the news in London were taking selfie’s with their phones and iPads.

So, let’s look at those phones.

As ‘Not impressed’ said, the metal is raped from the ground in countries that have little or no heed to the environment. In many cases the mining is done by nothing more than slave labour, many of whom are children.

So, the protesters can strike a blow, by simply refusing to buy the next must-have model.

Their clothing is made in factories in Third World sweat shops where health and safety are dirty words, and the average wage is less than those teens pay for a pair of trainers.

The London demonstrations demanding action to save the planet (a worthy cause) left behind tons of litter, throwaway tents, one off BBQ’s and God knows what else?

If, A.J. Fuller, you are going to demand we take action, you must be prepared to lead from the front, and set an example to those you want to follow you, and that means making sacrifices.

Late deals in...

Scarborough Municipal socialism could be the answer to town’s problems In response to various letters concerning the decline of Southport, may I suggest people look to the Preston model for inspiration.

Food caddy is a godsend I find it incredible that 75% of Sefton households do not use food waste recycling caddies especially now that it is more or less universally agreed that we must recycle as much waste as possible.

In our household we try to waste as little food as possible but inevitably do have vegetable peelings, apple cores, orange and banana peel, plate scraps, etc.

To be able to dispose of this food waste in a dedicated caddy that is small and unobtrusive is a godsend.

Sefton Council should do more to promote use of this system. Perhaps a leaflet issued via the Champion extolling the virtues of food caddies and how the waste is converted would be a good start and education through schools, colleges and other institutions.

It’s not just dog owners that need to clean up their act!

Regarding the article, Curb your dog, by ‘Disgusting’ of Southport, Wednesday May 29.

Yes, I am a responsible dog owner having two well behaved pets, who both toilet in the curb, which I then bag and bin.

What solution does this person have for the vomit and urine left around Southport town centre after the clubs and pubs close?

Humans need to be responsible too.

Sue Bond, Southport

This experiment in municipal socialism, initiated by the Labour-run Preston City Council, aimed to create a self-sufficient local economy by directing more council funds to local organisations. It was a resounding success, boosting both employment and businesses locally, as well as reducing deprivation by ensuring wealth remained, and was more fairly distributed, within the town.

A blueprint such as this could represent the future for towns like Southport, making far more sense than the illogical, almost Trump-ian calls to ‘make Southport great again’ by returning it to Lancashire proposals that will not make any difference to residents in reality, past hollow symbolism.

Daniel Grondin, Formby

Hypocrisy knows no bounds I’m intrigued by John Lee’s novel constitutional theory (Letters, Champion, May 29) that a referendum result can be legitimately challenged if sufficient time has elapsed since it was held.

Clearly, he believes three years is an insufficient time, but that the 41 years between 1975 and 2016 was long enough to justify overturning the will of the people.

After the 1975 referendum result and notwithstanding the emphatic result, there were those who persisted in arguing that the UK should leave the

EEC/EU. Can Mr Lee explain the formula enabling us to determine the date when they are to be regarded as no longer defying the democratically expressed wishes of the electorate or does hypocrisy know no bounds?

And if he argues that at some point after 1975 a change in circumstances or the composition of the electorate justified repudiation of the earlier result that would only seem to confirm the urgent necessity of holding a fresh confirmatory referendum.

Tina’s back to her old self thanks to vets male and female THANKFULLY it seems I have almost certainly been worrying unnecessarily about Tina (the eponymous ‘dog’) since her operation.

You see, for the first couple of days she continued not to eat - then, to my relief, she started again, only to stop once more.

One problem with that was, of course, that it was impossible to administer the pills and liquid designed to combat any possible infection, since they were to be taken with food.

A further check-up to the vet brought some reassurance and sure enough, after a couple of foodless days, she reverted to her normal eating habits.

For all of three days this time.

Still, she was due for her final vet’s visit only two days further, so I sat tight and hoped for the best.

And on this occasion, after I had seen three different female veterinarians, I was met by a male version who explained that these days most folk who wish to become vets are indeed females - as apparently is the case with human-type doctors.

Not that I’m complaining - each vet I came across treated both Tina and myself very well indeed.

But it was this final vet who put my mind at ease.

He confirmed what I had previously been told that dogs (and cats even more so) are far better at concealing pain than us weak-kneed humans.

After a really major operation he reckoned that Tina was standing up very well, especially as a woman who had had similar surgery would almost certainly still be in hospital!

He also thought having most of her womanly bits removed might well have upset her hormones and this could well be part of the problem.

Having given her a good check-up he reckoned Tina could most certainly be ‘signed off’, particularly since she now weighs a little more than she did immediately pre-op.

So now I am a far happier bunny that I was.

Anyway, seeing the male vet this morning got me thinking again about the various jobs men and women do, and their title when doing it.

I am quite happy with vets, teachers or doctors all being called the same since they are doing the same job - but that doesn’t stop me from thinking that that is an excuse for calling folk in other jobs and professions by silly names.

A ‘bar person’ for instance or ditto police, fire, or any other made up ‘person’ title.

What on earth is discriminatory about a barman or barmaid? Why is it morally wrong to know you will be seeing a police man or police woman?

In some cases it can be an obvious help to know whether you are to be confronted by a person of the male or female persuasion and to me at least it helps to build a mental picture of the kind of person you’re likely to be confronted with.

For that matter, no-one I would think would be annoyed at the grotto with a Father or Mother Christmas - but what child would look forward to seeing a Christmas Representative Person? With or without a beard.

There are some jobs which can be too physically demanding for most women and some which used to fall into this category but now do not.

Bus driver for instance. I remember in the 1960s, bus drivers having to stand up from their seats in order to heave an eight ton double decker round a tight junction without the aid of power steering.

Now though, female bus drivers are a common sight - and good luck to them I say.

It’s not any kind of crusade on my part over this subject - it’s simply that I dislike the bastardisation of our language just to accommodate a few zealots.

Even when there is no good reason why both men and women can do an equally good job of whatever it is, there are times even in this day and age, when you may be asked: “would you prefer to see a man or a woman?” - or indeed when you might make a point of asking specifically for one sex or another.

Who, appointed these guardians of the English language? And why does everyone try to fall over backwards to accommodate them?

Deadline for Educate Awards nears

THE entry deadline for this year’s Educate Awards is approaching, with entries closing at midnight on Sunday, June 23.

The awards is open to all government funded and independent private educational establishments, including primary, secondary, further education providers and special needs schools.

Founded by Kim O’Brien in 2012, it is the largest education awards in the North West and celebrates every aspect of the school’s curriculum, teaching and staff.

From inspiring teachers, superb support staff to innovative projects across the curriculum, the awards recognises the work of schools and colleges which are delivering outstanding

education and helping students achieve their full potential.

In total there are 21 award categories, from Teacher of the Year, Career Aspiration, School Support Star of the Year and Outstanding Commitment to Sport.

The awards are free to enter and schools can submit entries for as many categories as they like.

This year, a new category has been launched which recognises schools’ commitment to mental wellbeing. The Mental Health & Wellbeing Award will be awarded to a school with a strong commitment to promoting social and emotional wellbeing, mental health and wellness.

Kim O’Brien, founder of the Educate Awards, said: “With only a few weeks left to enter, we’re calling on all local schools and colleges to get their entries in sooner rather than later! This is a fantastic opportunity to showcase your school’s various departments or even nominate an individual who goes above and beyond in the classroom.”

The deadline for entries is midnight on Sunday, June 23. The shortlist will be announced prior to the awards ceremony and the winners will be revealed on November 15 at Liverpool Cathedral.

A CHAMPION reader is calling on Sefton Council to get their mower out and cut the long grass that is growing ‘far too high’ on the borough’s roundabouts.

The resident, who didn’t want to be named, claims the grass is ‘fast becoming a danger’ to motorists and pedestrians alike.

A motorist himself, he contacted us about the roundabout which joins Cambridge Road with Park Avenue and Park Crescent in Southport.

He said: “I am furious about the ridiculous state of the roundabout.

“The grass is far too high and hasn't been cut in months, you can hardly see past it and it will no doubt cause an accident soon!”

Similar complaints have also been heard about the roundabout at the northern end of Lord Street, oppos-

Mr Cunningham, said: “I am delighted with the turn out from the local care providers all of whom consider that we desperately need a collective, independent voice in local social care. All the big name local providers were there to provide their support too.

“At a time when we are still waiting for the government to issue the Social Care Green Paper we are facing the biggest crisis that affects every single person in the country.

“Many describe social care as a ‘ticking time bomb’ - but it has already gone off and we are now picking through the smouldering remains.”

Mr Cunningham claimed: “Our hospitals and acute services are in meltdown and yet on our doorstep we have the greatest provision on social

Matthew Cartwright-Terry, Helen Price, Maggie Marshall, Alex Birch, and Dr Jim Hammond, on Scafell Pike peak

Peak practice pays off for fundraising medics FOLLOWING a gruellng training schedule, a team of medics have completed the three highest peaks in England, Scotland and Wales in just 24 hours for Queenscourt Hospice.

The medics, who work for the private Renacres Hospital in Halsall, along with one who works for Lancashire NHS Trust, have also ‘absolutely smashed’ their original target of raising £1,600 for the hospice by raising £2,600 online, with cash pledges still to some.

Renacres Charge Nurse Alex Birch, from Southport, said that he and his colleagues had trained ‘incredibly hard’ for the fundraising effort, including spending

Report by Kenny Parker hours and hours on inclined treadmills and stepper machines The challenge saw them climb more than 11,000 feet in a day – made up of 4,413ft (Ben Nevis, Scotland), 3,210ft (Scafell Pike, England), and 3,560 ft (Snowdon, Wales).

Taking part in the challenge along with Alex were operating department practitioner, Helen Price; community mental health nurse (Lancashire NHS Trust) Maggie Marshall; anaesthetists Dr Jim Hammond and Dr Adrian

Head-Rapson, and orthopaedic surgeon Matt Cartwright Terry.

Renacres Hospital supported the fundraising effort by providing transport and fuel to undertake the challenge and administrative worker Jo Herring (and husband Graham) did all of the driving.

Alex said: “The donations have been rolling in and we've absolutely smashed our original target. It has been an incredibly successful fundraiser and the whole team and I are very proud that we could be part of it and astonished by the generosity of all the people who have donated.

“We anticipate raising, somewhere in the region of £3,100.”

DOVEHAVEN Care Homes raised a staggering £29,000 at its first charity golf day!

A total of 92 golfers participated in 18 holes of golf at Royal Birkdale Golf Club raising funds for the Serge Betsen Academy.

The Serge Betsen Academy implements and improves living conditions for young children in Cameroon.

The charity is led by the French Rugby Union International player Serge Betsen.

A spokesman for Dovehaven Care Homes, which have homes in Southport and West Lancashire, said: “The Dovehaven golf tournament was a huge success. The golf course was in spectacular condition and we're

One of the teams who took part in the Dovehaven Care Homes charity golf day

already looking forward to our next event.”

Tournament participants enjoyed a variety of competitions in addition to playing 18 holes to tournament golf, including ‘longest drive’ and ‘closest to pin’.

A host of donated items were sold at an auction from a golf day at Loch Lomond, including tickets to a director’s box at Liverpool FC and a bespoke suit (donated

by Vincentius Bespoke).

Mark Gilbert, owner of Dovehaven said: “It was such an honour to be able to host this incredible day and I would like to thank Serge for allowing us to unite with his charity and raise funds to allow his magnificent work to continue.

“We are so lucky to be able to play such an outstanding golf course in the area.”

Top Mark!

A SEFTON Council social worker has scooped a top industry award!

Mark Waterhouse, principle social worker at the council, received the Liverpool Hope University Leaders Club Award for the ‘positive difference’ he has made to the health and social care sector.

Mark’s career in social work began 30 years ago when he mistakenly applied for a job in the civil service while looking for work in the catering industry!

However, he quickly fell in love

with the social care profession and has gone on to help some of Sefton’s most vulnerable residents.

Mark said: “I’m delighted - it was a huge surprise. I didn’t even know I was nominated let alone that I’d won the award!”

Mark’s work with Sefton Council’s Integrated Re-ablement and Assessment Service has been key to developing a ‘multi-agency collaboration that has delivered improved support care for those with support needs across the Liverpool City Region’.

Walk for homeless A FAMILY of three took on a 10 mile walk to raise £1,110 for the homeless.

Copywriter Sarah Jackson, her husband Matt, a postman, and their son, Gray, 10, from Southport, walked from the town to Ormskirk to fund-raise for Southport Soup Kitchen.

Kew Woods Primary School pupil Gray, came up with the idea after seeing rough sleepers. His mum Sarah chose to do the walk wearing Mad Hatter makeup and wig to highlight how being homeless can make rough sleepers feel ‘different' to others’.

into the spring fayre on their way to official duties at the Betfred British Masters golf event at nearby Hillside Golf Club.

New Leaf Project co-ordinator, Angela Green, commented: “Everyone here worked

extremely hard to prepare for the Spring Fayre, so we’re very pleased at the excellent turnout on the day.

“It’s very satisfying for the people who attend the centre to see shoppers’ interest in the products they have created with the help of the new greenfingered and creative skills they have acquired.”

Service manager, Paula Scott, added: “This was a very successful event and another example of the great work that’s being done by the whole team at New Leaf, and what a valuable resource it is for the people who use its services.”

‘Super Brain’ exhibition opens at Chapel Gallery A new exhibition exploring how creativity works in the brain curated by artist Jack Doyle, formerly of Southport,has opened at Chapel Gallery, Ormskirk.

Super Brain, which runs until July 6, explores the creative process adopted by 18 North West based artists and a selected group of young people.

The work expands on current research by neuroscientists on how creativity happens in the brain.

The featured artists and young people will show their sources of inspiration (what is called their “rich source of input”), working methods and the final refinement of their ideas.

The exhibition is organised

by West Lancashire Borough Council Arts Development Service with funding from Arts Council England.

The 18 artists in the exhibition have studios across the North West and were specifically selected to illustrate artists at different stages of

their careers, from current students and recent graduates to established artists.

Jack is also working with young people from The Birchwood Centre in Skelmersdale who are creating their own artwork to be exhibited in the exhibition. There are also opportunities for all who visit Super Brain to include their own thoughts and images in an ever expanding neural network.

Manchester-based artist Jack, who was raised in Southport, works collaboratively with the public and schools to curate large scale art. He is a

co-director of PS Mirabel, an artist led gallery in Manchester city centre.

Jack said: “I have always been fascinated by how new ideas pop into your head. The current research by neuroscientists using MRI brain scans, showing how all parts of your brain are used in creativity, is particularly exciting.”

John Harrison, West Lancashire Borough Council Director of Development and Regeneration, said: "This sounds like a really exciting exhibition, so make sure you don't miss it."

Out&About with the Nursing home staff team up with researchers for dementia study STAFF at a nursing home in Southport have teamed up with university researchers to complete a study in advanced dementia.

The team at Tudor Bank Nursing Home on Beach Road took part in the recent Namaste Care research study in partnership with Lancaster University, in collaboration with researchers from the Universities of Bristol, Liverpool, Hertfordshire and St. Christopher’s Hospice in London.

Lorraine Hartley from Tudor Bank Nursing Home said: “Namaste Care promotes a sensory structured approach to care for residents with New Headers.indd 2 advanced dementia.

Our residents were offered activities that focused on sound, smell, touch and visual stimuli. The study wants to find out if it is possible to collect information that can be used to assess the effect of Namaste Care for residents with advanced dementia.

“We feel proud to have taken part in such an important study and have found it rewarding for both residents and staff. They are excited and enthusiastic about carrying this work forward and are always open to new ideas and therapies which promote quality of life for all residents.”

Family fun day at Woodlands WOODLANDS Animal Sanctuary are holding a family fun day with the opportunity to get up close to birds of prey.

The charity based at Holmeswood usually holds a large fun day on the first weekend of September but has this year opted to hold three themed events instead, with the first being on birds on Sunday, June 9.

Money raised on site goes directly towards the running costs of the charity, which looks after more than 300 animals.

The ‘Feather Fest’ event will take place at the charity’s site on Sandy Lane between 11am and 3pm. Entry costs £3 for adults and £1.50 for children.

Alongside Woodlands’ resident

birds you will also be able to meet and greet a range of birds of prey provided by Corio Raptor Care and Rehabilitation based near Lancaster.

As at the family fun day, there will be a dog show, judged by one of the vets from Rufford Veterinary Group and the chance to meet all the animals in Woodlands care, from the hogs to the horses and the guinea’s to the goats.

There will also be the opportunity to meet the cats available for rehoming. Although no animals will be released for rehoming during the open day, you will be able to register an interest in a cat.

Organisers say that alongside all of this there will also be fun

activities for children, a variety of stalls to suit all tastes, as well as a wide variety of food, the majority of which is homemade.

Sally McDerby, animal care manager at Woodlands, said: “Why not spend a day with your family and friends, enjoying good company, good food, and a friendly atmosphere, learning about various different animal species, not to mention helping a very worthwhile local charity?

You may even pick up the bargain of the year at one of the stalls!

“Come along and meet the hardworking team, and please do bring your loose change, or even any ‘loose notes’ you may have, because although it is said often, it really is true... every little helps!”

Hit show written by King of Swing finally coming to resort THE smash hit musical, Buddy Holly Lives, is finally coming to Southport.

Written by Merseyside’s King of Swing, Asa Murphy, it features Asa telling the life story of the rock’n’roll legend, accompanied by audio and visual effects, and performing the greatest hits of Buddy Holly and The Crickets, accompanied by The Buddy Band.

The show, which has sold out at every venue so far, is at the Waterfront Theatre at 7.30pm on Friday, August 9.

This has been a breakthrough year for Asa, who has been given his own weekly show on BBC Radio Merseyside, and his next venture is Mack the Knife – The Bobby Darin Story, due in theatres later in the year.

Tickets for Buddy Holly Lives are £20. They are now on sale at the Waterfront Box Office or online.

There are discounted tickets being offered to people from sheltered

THIS week BMW’s started taking orders for the all-new, thirdgeneration model, which hits the company’s UK showrooms in September.

Affleck half century can’t save S&B from defeat by New Brighton Jones takes four wickets on debut as Formby beat Northern to stay second

Mal Swift, left, bowled all the way through for Ainsdale, taking 6 for 44 off 26 overs while James Dixon, right, top scored for Sefton Park with 34 not out, before taking 3 wickets. Pictures by Roger Green.

Six wickets for Swift but Ainsdale forced to settle for a draw IN the First Division, Ainsdale dropped to fourth after they held on for a draw at home against Sefton Park, writes Glenn Wallworth.

Mal Swift claimed six wickets for 44 runs and skipper Stephen Lucas 3-59 after Ainsdale put the visitors in to bat after a delayed start and Sefton Park eventually declared their innings on 151-9, with Jimmy Dixon top scoring with an unbeaten 34*.

Ainsdale were left with only 28 overs to bat in their reply and eventually settled for a draw on 72-7, with Stephen Lucas top scoring with 32, whilst Dixon capped off a good day with 3-17.

Another delayed start at Highfield saw bottom club Fleetwood Hesketh lose their fifth game of the season by three wickets.

Once again Hesketh were let down by their batsmen as they were bowled out for 102 with Derek Sykes top scoring with 18, as the rest had no real answer to Madduma Lakmal 4-16 and Chris Liptrot 4-51.

In reply, a spirited bowling display led by Steve Gregory 3-24 made it hard for the hosts who eventually reached 103-7 to wrap up victory, thanks to an unbeaten 41* from all rounder Lakmal and 31 from Tom Ashton.

In the Second Division, third placed Maghull suffered a shock 21 run home defeat to an improving Burscough, who chose to bat and thanks to runs from Ryan Hughes 67, Jon Stone 58 and Navdeep Aujla 50 were able to declare on 258-8, with Australian Joe Medew-Ewen taking 5-67.

Fleetwood Hesketh batsmen struggle again at Highfield In reply, opener Jon Ring cracked a century (104 inc 12x4 & 1x6) and Anthony Molloy 47 but their efforts were in vain as Lee Berrie took 5-60 to help dismiss the hosts for 237.

Southport Trinity were beaten by 63 runs at home against Spring View.

After a delayed start the visitors managed to post 215-7 declared up on the board, thanks in the main to useful runs from Edwin Geary 74* and Nigel Geary 48.

In reply, Wim Van Der Walt 46, skipper Craig Prince 32, Bobby Eyes 22 and an unbeaten 21* from Fred Thorpe all weighed in with runs but four ducks proved very costly as they were dismissed for 152, with Harry Clegg taking 4-40.

Hightown St Mary’s sit just one place off the bottom of the table after a 107 run defeat at Sutton.

Focus on & Independent Living

Care At some stage in our lives, as we get older, most of us will come to rely on a care service program, whether for ourselves or a relative.

From home services to residing in a care home, fortunately we are lucky to live in communities that offer so many different options in levels of care. However, as there is such a vast array of choices available, it can often prove both daunting and confusing when selecting the service which is going to be right for you or a close relative.

The one common goal for both the patient and the professionals is to ensure that people remain as independent as they can for as long as possible.

Over the next few pages the Champion offers you a choice and advice on which services are out there and what you can expect.

Where care is concerned, one size can never fit all!

Care Homes When living at home independently is becoming too difficult, then it maybe time to consider what other options are available to you. You may look into adapting your home to help make life easier, or maybe you could look at getting some support at home to help with those things that are simply becoming too difficult. However, if you decide that moving into a care home is the best option for you then it can give you the chance to focus on your health and wellbeing, whilst also providing you with the opportunity to meet new people and develop new friendships.

Firstly you need to consider all of the options available and work out which will work best for you as there are several different types of care home to consider: Care Homes Help with personal care, such as washing, dressing, taking medication and going to the toilet.

They may also offer social activities such as day trips or outings.

Nursing Homes Personal care as well as assistance from qualified nurses.

Care Homes with Dementia Care (Sometimes called Elderly Mentally Infirm (EMI) homes) - They are designed to make people living with dementia feel more comfortable and safe.

Respite Care is a short-term stay, often around one to two weeks, in a care home. Respite breaks can be

planned or unplanned, in cases of emergency. Often, a respite break is arranged to give a carer a holiday from their care-related duties. This is particularly common when friends or family members are acting as a carer and allows them time to look after their own health and well-being.

Respite care can also be required when the normal carer cannot offer the support needed at a certain time.

Dual-Registered Care Homes They accept residents who require both personal care and nursing care. This means that someone who initially just needs personal care but later requires nursing care won’t have to change homes.

Do your Research Anyone can get access to information regarding a care home and see for yourself how the home functions. You can find these inspection reports by searching for the care home on the Care Quality Commission website (www.cqc.org.uk). These reports highlight a number of categories, ie. safety; caring; responsive.

You can also find out if the home specialises in any particular services and see their overall rating. For Children’s care homes this information can be found from Ofsted (www.gov. uk/government/organisations/ofsted).

Set in its own grounds. Individual flats with kitchen and en-suite shower rooms. home is within reach of family and friends and that shops and facilities are easily accessible.

Noise can also be an issue so visit the location at different times of the day and week.

Visiting & Outings Find out about visits and outings. Does the home provide outings and can anyone come and visit any time?

Speak to family and friends for recommendations Does anyone that you know have a relative or friend who is already in a care home? A recommendation from a happy resident is worth it’s weight in gold.

Visit the Care Homes Try to visit all of the homes on your short-list, making an appointment to meet the care home manager. Before you visit, make a list of all the questions you want to ask and all of the things you want to look out for – it’s easy to forget things and doing as much research as you can is important. It’s useful to ask about the level of care provided

as well as the fees and waiting list. Talk to staff members and observe the way they work and care for residents.

Some homes may invite you to spend the day there so you can get a feel of the place and what it is like. It is also advisable that you find out about the details of the Care Home contract that you will be expected to sign.

We support and develop our staff on an ongoing basis to enable them to provide the highest quality care for our residents.

Communication Find out how communication works with the staff.

This consideration is particularly important if you are acting on behalf of someone who is considering becoming a full time resident.

Other Considerations Think about ethnic, cultural and social needs as well as dietary needs. Finally, some homes will allow pets which may be important to you.

Our care home has a dedicated Activities Co-ordinator who organises and arranges daily activities in our home and in the local community for our residents.

Before making a final decision, it is a good idea to ask for a temporary stay of a month or so. This can sometimes be arranged and is an excellent way of seeing for yourself whether the home is going to be right for you long term.

Also organised day trips for leisure as well as social events in the home including arts and crafts, quizzes, entertainers and themed restaurant evenings

Helping the Carer A carer is anyone who cares, unpaid, for a friend, partner or family member who due to illness, disability, a mental health problem or an addiction cannot cope without their support.

Caring for another person can sometimes prove difficult but it can also be a positive and rewarding experience. Not all carers are trained professionals and many are simply caring for someone they love.

their own needs. Take this opportunity to discuss with the social services department of your local authority any help you may need. You can ask for any help that will assist in maintaining your own health and wellbeing, ensuring you can balance caring with other aspects of your life, such as work and family commitments. Social services will then use the assessment to decide what help to provide.

If you’re a carer, there are many organisations that can provide practical and financial help, as well as short breaks from caring. Most carers have a legal right to an assessment of

Below are some ways that you can take a break from your caring role and this is something that you can also discuss with a social worker or care manager. They may also be able to suggest other ways that might suit you better: 1. Residential respite: the person you care for is looked after by someone else for a short period of time, either in residential or nursing care.

2. Domiciliary care: someone can come into your home for a few hours or even overnight, so you can go out or have some time to yourself.

You can sometimes get a break when the person you care for is involved in other activities, for instance at school or at a day care centre.

As well as the practical and emotional support that you may require as a carer, you may also need financial help and advice. You may require financial support for extra expenses that come within the caring role.

Carer’s Allowance is the main state benefit for carers, so it’s important to find out if you are eligible. You can get a claim form from your local Jobcentre Plus office or the Department for Work and Pensions.

For more information on what benefits you’re entitled to, contact or visit your local Citizen’s Advice Bureau.

If you’re working as well as caring for someone, you have the right to ask your employer for flexible working arrangements to help you.

This could be working part-time, flexi-time (when you choose your working hours), compressed hours (working your contracted hours over fewer days), job-sharing or homeworking. You have the right to make one request for flexible working and your employer must consider it but does not have to agree to it.

Your health and wellbeing is most important for yourself and the person you are caring for and we all need a little help some times.

FRESHFIELDS Care Home

Home Care

Freshfields is a care home with nursing, based in a well-equipped resource in Formby. We provide residential and nursing support for 33 physically disabled adults.

The philosophy of care at Freshfields is to support the independence, opportunities and choice of residents.

Contact 01704 870 119 for information regarding residency or employment and volunteering opportunities

An increasing number of people are looking to receive specialist home care as an alternative to residential care. Home care, also known as Domiciliary care enables those with varying care needs (through illness, long term medical issues or old age) to remain in their own home indefinitely, or for a longer period of time than was previously possible.

These services are often delivered by a specialist homecare agency who employ carers with specific training and expertise in providing care within the home.

Choosing between these home care service agencies can be a difficult thing to do. Below are some important things to consider when looking at home care: Identify what type of home healthcare support you need Have a think about the help you will require from the home healthcare provider. You will find that there is a range of different support available.

The areas where people often require help and support is looking after their personal care and hygiene, help doing their weekly shopping,

assistance around the house with cleaning and tidying and as well as help to cook meals. Sometimes however, all that is needed is companionship.

Contact your local authority and find out what help they will give you Whilst you are in the process of looking at care agencies, you should also make sure that you contact your local social services and ask them to assess your care needs. Once you go through the assessment process, your local authority will outline what support and help they can give you. If you choose not to take the support your local authority provide, you are free to approach care agencies yourself and choose your own home care.

Your local authority will then either fully or partly fund this. This will be done through making ‘direct payments’ or through a ‘personal budget’.

Work out your home care services cost Estimating how much your home care services will cost is important as you need to ensure you are spending your money wisely. Work out your budget.

Think about how long you’ll need care for and estimate using an average

Adapting the home Home adaptations are changes you can make to your home to help make it safer and easier to move around.

Your local council will offer a service that assesses your home and then recommends changes to help. This home assessment is free and the changes they may suggest can include the fitting of a stairlift or additional banisters, the widening of doorways, lowering of kitchen worktops as well as bathroom adaptations and the installation of additional lighting, ramps and railings to help with security and access into your property. The assessment may also recommend household equipment and gadgets to help make life easier.

Moving around your home Make sure your home is well lit. Think about getting motion-sensor lights installed that switch on automatically when you get out of bed or enter a room. Widening door frames or changing the direction your doors open can help you get about – particularly if you use a wheelchair.

An extra banister rail or a stairlift can make getting up and down the stairs much easier. Depending on the size and layout of your home, it might be possible to install a through-floor wheelchair lift.

They come in a range of shapes and sizes from short walk-in baths designed for sitting in, to long baths with a whole side panel that opens out, suitable for those you enjoy a long soak whilst lying down.

Baths with a built-in seat. These baths have a seat moulded into the bath itself and have the same purpose as portable bath seats – allowing you to sit half immersed in the bath, yet with the added advantage of being more comfortable and of not looking institutional. Another benefit is they do not have a maximum weight capacity.

If mobility is severely limited, then consider a bath lift, which lifts your body from underneath, or a bath hoist which pulls you up from above.

If using a bath is becoming increasing more difficult, then sometimes people will opt for a walk-in shower or stand alone shower cubicle.

These can be more practical and less time consuming for everyday washing.

Wet-floor areas or full wet rooms are essentially bathrooms that have been adapted with waterproof flooring and walls and can be useful if bathroom space is limited.

Worried about overfilling the bath or sink?

A special safety plug that only allows water to reach a certain level, or a flood detector that alerts a monitoring centre if the bath or sink starts to overflow, might be helpful.

In the bathroom Buying a bath to suit your needs If you struggle to get into and out of the bath, yet still enjoy a relaxing soak, there are different types of baths available that could help.

Walk-in baths have a door built in to the side of the bath so you do not have to climb over and risk a fall.

In the kitchen Think about how you use your kitchen and what would make life easier for you. Kitchen aids and feeding aids are important tools for those with flexibility, mobility or physical dexterity issues. There is a wide range of kitchen ware available to help the disabled or elderly. Adapted knives and other cutlery, along with non-spill feeding aids like cups and mugs, plates and bowls.

If you need a bit of help while cooking or making a hot drink, try: • a perching stool which supports you in a near-standing position • a kettle tipper to help you tilt the kettle • a spike board which lets you cut or peel vegetables one-handed.

If you find picking up, opening or moving things in the kitchen difficult, try: • wide-handled cutlery • high-rimmed plates and two-handled cups • assistive tin, bottle and jar openers • a sturdy trolley to support mobility and help you move food and drink from room to room.

Nominate a Carer

If you’re living with limited mobility there are a number of mobility aids available which can make it easier for you to get around – whether you’re in your own home or outside.

BROOKFIELDS FUNERALCARE 73-75 Shakespeare Street Southport PR8 5AJ 01704 532106

Carers Week is an opportunity to raise awareness and recognise the huge contribution carers make. There are currently over 6.5 million people supporting family and friends who are elderly, disabled or seriously ill.

To recognise this, Brookfields Funeralcare would like to celebrate some of the fantastic people who spend their time caring for others. We would like you to nominate a carer by telling us in no more than 300 words why you are nominating them. Make sure to include your name and contact number, along with the name of the carer you are nominating.

Keeping Mobile

So whether it’s getting to and from your car or mobility equipment which can assist you climbing the stairs, there is an extensive range of care and mobility aids that can help in making daily activities simpler and more enjoyable. Mobility aids can make a huge difference to someone who is older or living with a disability, by giving them the opportunity to remain independent both at home or when out and about.

The winner will receive a meal for two courtesy of Auberge Brasserie, Seabank Road, Southport, plus a luxury chauffeur driven limousine will collect them from their home and take them to the restaurant and then deliver them back home again. They will also be presented with a stunning hand-tied bouquet of flowers kindly supplied by Sweeneys Florist, Bispham Road, Southport and a months free membership for two at Anytime Fitness, Southport.

SEND YOUR ENTRIES TO: Nominate a Carer Competition, Champion Newspapers, Clare House, 166 Lord Street, Southport PR9 0QA

The choice of equipment available for those living with mobility issues varies

greatly depending on the individual’s range of motion. However, mobility aids are often viewed negatively by older people and they can therefore be reluctant to use them for fear of looking old or impaired by others.

In fact, mobility aids could do with a new image to reflect the positive benefit they bring to people’s lives.

Someone who is worried about having a fall may be limiting when and where they go out. For them, a simple walking stick can give them the confidence boost they need to be able to meet up with friends or to walk down the road to collect the paper.

The added bonus of exercise and the effect on a person’s wellbeing from seeing people and getting fresh air is immeasurable.

Personal Care As we become older some of the things we take for granted, such as our vision, hearing and personal hygiene can deteriorate and become more difficult to us to take care of.

When it comes to bathing there is usually a deeper cause for someone’s refusal to wash than just “not wanting to”. Bathrooms can become dangerous places for someone with reduced mobility who is unsteady on their feet. The fear of falling can be a major contributor to their reluctance.

Those living with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia may simply forget

that they have not showered recently, whilst others may tire easily or suffer with shortness of breath.

It’s true that most seniors don’t necessarily need to, nor should they bathe as often due to their sensitive skin and relatively low activity levels, but semi-regular washing is crucial for their health and mental well being.

Helping someone bathe, shave and dress can be difficult. Knowing how to handle these delicate situations will make things easier for both you and your loved one. If the person needs more than a little help with bathing, ask your doctor about having a professional caregiver come to your home and show you how to make the task both easier and safer.

Oral health is extremely important and there are a few guidelines to follow: Clean teeth at least once a day; Check dentures regularly for cracks and other damage; Remove dentures for cleaning and store in liquid when out of the mouth; Have dentures checked if they aren’t fitting properly as this can be a common cause of eating problems – rather than just a loss of appetite.

And it’s not just our teeth we need to look after. It’s also essential that we all take good care of our feet in later life.

It lowers our risk of having a fall and reduces the risk of infection, as well as relieving pain. Foot care services help older people who are unable to look after their feet.

We must also pay more attention to looking after our eyesight in older age. Lighting in the home can be an issue. At the age of 60, your eyes need three times the amount of light than they needed at 20 years of age. To make the most of your lighting at home keep your windows clean and pull the curtains back as far as possible; consider replacing the curtains with blinds, which makes it easier to control the amount of light that comes into a room. Ensure stairs are well lit and use a flexible table lamp for reading or close work.

Everyone aged 60 and over qualifies for a free NHS-funded sight test, every

2 years. A sight test checks your vision straight ahead, as well as your peripheral vision. The test also looks for age-related changes as well as eye conditions such as cataracts, age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and glaucoma, which can lead to sight loss. These conditions can be detected at an early stage, often before you’ve even noticed that anything is wrong.

Hearing problems can also be serious. If you notice signs such as difficulties in hearing people on the telephone, or others complaining the TV volume is very high, then it may be time to seek professional advice.

Hearing loss is extremely common and approximately one in three people between the age of 65 and 74 experience hearing loss. Losing your hearing can have a profoundly negative effect on someone’s enjoyment and quality of life. It is another important area to check and get advice about in your later years.

ADVERTORIAL

HomefromHome SEFTON Home from Home is a truly unique, personalised day service that adopts a fully holistic approach to meeting each individuals wants and needs.

Individuals become part of our family, feeling supported, loved, respected, listened to, included and valued, which can lead to improved feelings of self worth, improved mental health, confidence, and quality of life. It is my life long passion to enure vulnerable older adults have the opportunity to live a full, healthy, happy, independent lifestyle, the way they want to live it.

The idea behind providing this service within my own home for 5 adults per day (sociable yet not overwhelming, in comfy, relaxed setting), came from listening to what individuals really want/how they prefer to be treated, during my 17 years experience working in a multitude of different services within the care sector.

Assisted & Independent Living For an older adult, the choice between assisted and independent living usually depends on how well an individual can manage daily activities without extra assistance. Examples of these activities include preparing meals, personal hygiene, managing medications and completing household chores. Someone who has difficulty with any of these may want to consider the maintenance-free lifestyle of an assisted living community.

Assisted Living Assisted living is a great option for individuals who have difficulty with daily activities at home. Residents are free to live an independent lifestyle, but also receive regular support for a range of daily activities from cleaning to meal preparation. Housekeeping and maintenance services are often

included in the monthly rental of an apartment, along with laundry services, utilities, transportation and meals. In addition to enjoying the peace of mind that comes from this, residents can also take advantage of a full calendar of events, activities, trips out and other opportunities for social engagement.

With endless opportunities of activities provided within my home, a focus on nutrition, wellness, improving fitness, mental health, and self-care, plus regular days out to places of interest, entertainment, local groups & schools, by actively linking in with local businesses, charities, independent living schemes, care homes, etc, we are bringing communities and generations together, promoting lifestyle choices, improving confidence, living well, and staying active and connected.

Independent Living In contrast to assisted living, independent living is ideal for individuals who can still live independently but enjoy having access to assistance when needed.

Independent living communities provide their residents with convenient access to dining, medical care, entertainment and more. They offers residents a safe living environment, but with minimal assistance.

Without this type of vital support, many vulnerable older adults can become very low of mood/depressed,

lose interest in food & drink and self-care, which can lead to poor physical health, reduced mobility, falls, infections, leading to repeated GP visits, hospital admissions, and ultimately needing full time care.

This is what we aim to prevent as much as possible.

If you feel our support may be right for you or a loved one, please do get in touch, we can also come and visit you in your own home first for a chat.

JJ Care Services Ltd “Providing Nurses & Health Care Assistants to Nursing Homes & Residential Homes” RGNs | RMNs | Senior Care Assistants | Care Assistants

Staying engaged with Alzheimers Individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease or any other form of dementia should strive to continue to do as much as they can to retain their independence for as long as possible. And being at home is more often than not, the best place for this.

“The preferred environment for those living with dementia is generally in familiar surroundings such as their home.”

Office 3 Shakespeare House, 37-39 Shakespeare Street, Southport PR8 5AB

This is the view of Dr. Jane F. Potter, who served on the expert panel to help develop content for Home Instead Senior Care® network’s free Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias CARE training programme.

Phone: 01704 809 756

1. Allow the individual to do as much as they can but don’t expect them to do what they can’t. Give clear instructions, which may mean giving instructions one step at a time.

2. Simplify the task. When dressing, put them in a position to do as much as possible. Make it easier to dress, for instance, by laying out clothing in sequential order, with the underwear and socks on top.

3. Start an activity and then ask for help. For example if your Mum has forgotten how to make that favourite family recipe, begin the process and ask for her help with whatever she can.

4. Make activities easier or change the activity. If the person can’t play bridge any more, play another card game instead.

5. Remember, it’s about more than just the task. Turn a bath into an opportunity to smell different soaps or, when picking out clothing, discuss fashion or special colours.

6. Remember that exercise can help keep seniors active longer. It is important to help them to get up and move more, not less.

Final Arrangements One of the most emotional times in someone’s life is saying goodbye to a loved one. This means it can be hard to think of all the practicalities that need taking care of next.

There are three main things you must do in the first few days after someone dies.

1. Ensure you obtain a medical certificate from their GP or hospital doctor. This is very important as you will need this certificate to register their death. In the case of their passing being unexpected, or if they haven’t been seen by their family doctor in the 2 weeks prior, their death is reported to a coroner and could end up in a postmortem or inquest. If this happens it sometimes can mean a delay in the funeral.

2. Register the death. If you register the death within five days, you will be given all the documents you need for the funeral. Ask your registrar about the free Tell Us Once service. If this is offered in your area, this means that several government departments can be informed of the death at the same time and takes a fair bit of pressure off you. This can be done online or by telephone.

3. Arranging the Funeral. When choosing the Funeral Director, try and choose an accredited one from an organisation who adheres to codes of practice. These must provide you with a price list if you request one. Organisations such as National Association of Funeral Directors, National Federation of Funeral Directors and Society of Allied and Independent Funeral Directors are all good examples.

The Funeral Director will take you through all the options available to ensure your loved one has the send off they deserve. Be clear on what is included in the price quoted for their services to avoid any unexpected costs for any extras.

The financial part This is the part that sometimes brings with it a bit of worry but if your loved one has been organised and left an insurance policy to either cover or contribute to the costs of their funeral, it takes a lot of that worry away.

Perhaps your loved one had a prepaid funeral plan in place or has a sizeable estate (savings) that could also help cover the cost. If you have any difficulties in paying for the funeral, you may be able to apply for a ‘Funeral Expenses Payment’ from your local council.

You can get more information on all of the above points by going to www.gov.uk/after-a-death/arrange-the-funeral

We encourage families to feedback to us after a funeral if they wish to, allowing us to know what we can do better and helping us improve and grow continually, whilst trying to keep pace with the changing products and services available. Care, dignity and choice is always central to the heart of Barrington’s ethos and we will strive to uphold this.

Relative to this our prices have been on our website for more than five years now and clearly show a flexibility represented by a demand for choice. We are proud that a significant amount of the families we serve come to us by recommendation or from attending a funeral

in touch at any time. Our offices are open Monday to Friday and by appointment at weekends with a Funeral Director always on call 24hrs a day 365 a year.

During May this year (2019) David Barrington was installed as National President for the NAFD (National Association of Funeral Directors) which means he has opportunities to visit many funeral directors and events around the UK, learning and bringing back best practice for our family business at Barringtons.
