Abigail is freefree-falling for charity!

Upon understanding more about our company’s charity I found it necessary to do my bit for the cause. I am doing a charity skydive in aid of Leukaemia and Lymphoma on Saturday 16th March.

My name is Abigail Downer and I have lived in West Moors since I was born. I was schooled in West Moors, grew up in West Moors and made a life in West Moors. I recently finished sixth form at Ringwood School and started as a Recruitment administrator for a company called PULSE, in Bournemouth.

It dawned on me that not everyone gets the amazing opportunities that I have experienced. With Leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma, naming only a few blood cancers affecting not just adults but children it was highlighted to me to the

Abigail Downer

importance of finding cures for these diseases. The skydive has already been paid for so that all the money raised is guaranteed to go to the cause. I would really appreciate the support of everyone no matter how big or small but it is also about raising support and most of all awareness for Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research. Please sponsor me on leaping from a plane, free-falling for 30-40 seconds and then spiralling to the floor for another 4-6 minutes on: www.justgiving.com/Abigailwww.justgiving.com/Abigail-Downer

Talking about Wildlife

Talking about wildlife...

Woodlands Woodlands have always held a fascination for humans, and a visit to the woods refreshes the mind and lifts the spirit at any time of the year. British woodlands are wonderfully rich with wildlife; ranging from large mammals to the tiniest insects, and from bluebells to gigantic ancient trees, there are thousands of species to observe at all seasons.

Native woodlands and what remains of ancient woodlands are the best habitats for biodiversity, and particularly important for many threatened species.

Generally, areas with the best availability of light support the largest of variety of plant life, on which the animal kingdom depends to a great degree.

Both native and non-native animals make the woods their primary home, and some woodland fauna such as dormice have all they need there; the canopy for shelter and hazelnuts for food (although dormice can also be found living in hedgerows, a sort of mini-woodland). Other species such as deer and many birds frequently venture into different habitats including heaths, grasslands and even our back gardens, sometimes moving from one habitat to another depending on their changing needs in different seasons.

Woodland habitats are generally rich with insect life as well as nuts and seeds, and support a variety of birds from resident species like our mysterious owls, to seasonal migrants. Some are shy and elu si v e , b u t m an y w oo d l an d b i rd s including the tit and the finch families like human habitats as well, as our gardens can be similar to woodland edges or rides. Even more species will swell the garden population during harsh winters when food in the woods is scarce.

TWMD February 2013 page 16

Dorset’s woods are well worth a visit at any time, but especially in early spring as the woodland flowers put on their show, taking advantage of the light before the trees are in leaf.

Visit dorsetwildlifetrust.org.uk/reserves to plan a woodland visit near you.

Ezi-Help Now Available Help is now available for local residents aged over 65 who are struggling to pay their fuel bills this winter.

A variety of cold weather related support and services for the elderly are being funded as a result of the Dorset Community Foundation’s - Surviving Winter Appeal. The Bournemouth based charity has been at the forefront nationally and locally in raising awareness of fuel poverty and social isolation amongst the elderly. These two factors are the primary reasons why over 500 people in Dorset died from a preventable cold weather related death last winter.

The Appeal has so far raised just over ÂŁ14,000, this sum is much lower than last year and demonstrates that times are tough for many. Despite this, the Community Foundation is working at full stretch to ensure the donations are quickly distributed to groups and organisations that work with older people in need of help during the winter months. Though the Appeal itself cannot directly fund individuals, it is working with Citizens Advice Bureaus to give out grants towards paying fuel bills. By working in this way, donors can be confident that only eligible people will receive grant payments.

The Surviving Winter Appeal is currently funding; grants to assist with paying fuel bills, grants for heating repairs, extra support for lunch clubs, befriending schemes, help with transport, and it has again funded emergency radiators for Dorset Fire and Rescue to deliver to any homes they are called out to, that do not have heating. Last year the Appeal funded 25 radiators and these provided 1800 days of warmth to a great number of homes that were without heating.

Sometimes it’s the simple things that can make all the difference, and one of the barriers for many older folk is icy paths and being able to get from their front door to their hospital transport or a lift to the doctors. So this year the Appeal is funding a limited supply of 1 kilogram tubs of Ezi-Melt de-icing salt for use on domestic paths. Fifteen hundred tubs have been supplied to the Appeal at cost by Ezi-Melt and these will be distributed through local community groups across the county.

This is the third year Dorset Community Foundation has run the Appeal and once again it is working at a strategic level to generate extra funding for local charities and community groups who are providing immediate help and assistance to vulnerable older people and those at risk this winter. This approach was proved highly successful and last year the Community Foundation worked with and funded twenty one charities and community groups. This enabled these groups to concentrate on meeting the increased demand for their services and provide help and support to people in need, thanks in no small measure to the extra money they receive from donations made to the Surviving Winter Appeal.

If you would like to make a credit card donation to the Surviving Winter Appeal (registered charity No: 1122113) please telephone: 01202 292255 or make an online secure donation at: www.dorsetcommunityfoundation.org

West Moors Lunch Club Members were welcomed back for the first week of the New Year on 9th January.

After lunch and raffle we played table games, some enjoying playing New Market using buttons to place bets others playing Scrabble, Upwords, Blockbuster or Connect4. (A large variety of games are available including carpet bowls and mini golf.) Our usual game of bingo followed tea and cakes.

On our second week we all took part in ‘Giant Scrabble’ with Tony and unfortunately our following week’s lunch was cancelled due to the bad weather.

Transport can be arranged locally for members if required and volunteer car drivers & helpers are now needed. Please contact Joan on 01202 891519 for information about joining as a member of the club or if you have some hours to spare on a Wednesday to help with the lunches and/or entertainment or to provide transport for members to/from St Anthony of Padua Church hall.

A Knit and Natter group is starting in the library. If you would like to take part, whether you are able to knit or not, please contact us for more information.

Surviving Winter Fund Ladies and Gentlemen, I would like to draw your attention to the website:- Dorset Community Foundation-Surviving Winter Fund.

(See also the article on page 18.)

I hope all residents of West Moors are keeping their eyes on any vulnerable neighbours and helping where necessary. I have a limited supply of card thermometers which help elderly people monitor the temperature within their homes and offers advice according to that temperature. If you need some, give me a call.
