Dear Readers - Welcome to the latest edition! I never thought that just a few days after getting back from my Everest Base Camp Challenge at the end of February, our world would have changed so much in such a short space of time! We landed back into the UK on the 29th February and within days of this they had closed Everest, making us one of only a few groups to be able to take on the Everest Base Camp challenge this year!

I would like to send all my best wishes to you and your families, and I really hope you and your loved ones have managed to stay safe and well over the past few weeks. I took the hard decision not to produce my May editions that should have gone out in April, due to the COVID-19 restrictions in place. Before printing this issue, I did liaise and take advice from the local authorities and Cheshire Police.

Not everyone reading our magazines has access to the internet/social media, so we hope we can communicate important information through these magazines too.

This edition also marks the 14th Anniversary of my magazines, something I am very proud of too, hopefully my business along with other small businesses can continue to grow and flourish after the past few weeks. If you haven’t considered using my magazines before now is a great time to start. I run 5 separate magazines covering Sandbach, Holmes Chapel, Congleton, Winsford and Northwich, reaching OVER 46,000 homes across Cheshire. We now also deliver over 500 extra magazines each month to businesses across these areas too!

Dating for the over sixties...

More and more seniors are entering the dating game, with very few tools to handle this process in the electronic age. My monthly column is to help some people, describing pitfalls and safety, with a fair amount of humour from my own personal experiences. This month is all about dating while maintaining social distancing. It is not a problem limited to silver surfers, as many younger people will agree. Would also love to hear from anyone who has a dating story to share, be it good, bad or funny.

Email me on Over60sDating@hotmail.com Can I date someone virtually?

Several weeks ago life was much easier. Whether you were meeting people online or at social gatherings, it is no longer possible to plan a date, be it a coffee, dinner or even a movie. That isn’t true, we just need to get a little more creative. In fact, dating while separate allows us to slowly get to know that person at their best and worst, solidifying a relationship or making you realise they are not the one.

Coffee date Plan several coffee dates, with each one having a different theme, such as what you watched on the television last night, your most memorable holiday destination etc. This is perfect for people who aren’t comfortable chatting on a video link, as it can be as simple as a telephone call. Limit each coffee date to 30 minutes, you will be amazed at how much you learn about the other person in that time.

Dinner date Let’s have some fun with food, learning more about the other person suggest you each make a dinner that is your favourite, then share it online or email a photo or describe on the telephone. Some people don’t want to say what is their favourite food in person, in case they turn off their date, but actually creating a meal and then sharing it online can give each other an insight into what they really like....good for when you can actually go out for a meal.

Movie night Take it in turns to choose a movie or TV show to watch...it can be one on television or found on Netflix or a similar channel. I have done this successfully before the lockdown with a boyfriend.....we actually had a video link, watched the movie and chatted during commercial breaks!

Be spontaneous Want to make an impression on someone you would like to know more? Every time you plan a virtual date, why not send them a gift (I know that would impress me). Coffee dates could include a mug or a box of biscuits, for a dinner date send a bottle of wine or box of chocolates, and a movie night would be great with a gift of popcorn selection of sweets.

What is accomplished with these virtual dates? Well, if you hate Eastenders and find out it is their favourite show, is that a deal breaker? They like rare steak and you are a vegetarian could be an impossible combination. But perhaps you can learn more about the other person during these difficult times, while in your own homes and separate, than weeks of dating normally. Try it and let me know.

POSH SPICE Any gardener will tell you that all the plants they grow are valuable, but the Saffron Crocus (Crocus Sativus) is in a world of its own. This beautiful autumn-blooming plant produces a flower from which we gather saffron, the quintessential seasoning for paella and other Mediterranean dishes - and perfect for adding to basmati rice for an authentic Indian curry!

It is an incredible way to perfume your dishes. It has a slightly sweet but earthy taste which can be used to flavour both sweet and savoury recipes.

The lilac-purple flowers produce vibrant red stigmas, which have been used for flavouring and colouring dishes since Roman times. The plant yields a highly prized spice (it would take up to 75,000 flowers to get a pound of saffron) which is also used to make dyes, as a treatment for mild-to-moderate depression and as an aphrodisiac. You don’t need green fingers to grow it, either. It is easy to cultivate and unlike its spring-blooming cousins will put on a display of very colourful and highly-scented blooms. Just plant the bulbs in a sunny spot in your garden before the end of August - they will thrive in a well-drained border - or you can easily grow them in a container on the patio. Plus, they are super-hardy and they will multiply rapidly from year to year.

The Saffron Crocus is hardy and becomes dormant in April once the foliage dies back.

Flowering will commence approximately 40 days from planting, although some bulbs will not flower in the first year. Each bulb may produce up to six or more flowers over a period of about two weeks. Although most gardeners are unlikely to grow enough saffron to generate an income, it is certainly worth the effort of harvesting your own. To obtain saffron, the red stigmas need to be carefully removed with tweezers in the morning, as soon as the flowers are fully open. This needs to be done quickly, as the flowers barely last a day before they wither. Dry the strands off on tissue paper in a dark place and they can then be stored in an airtight container. Once cut and dried, they can be stored in an airtight jar for several years.

Each bulb will only last one season and will be replaced by one to ten new ones. The new bulbs produced grow above the old ones and will gradually creep nearer the surface so it will be necessary to lift and replant them every few years. This is best done in August.

Most bulb suppliers will offer growing instructions to explain how easy it is to harvest the saffron, but its not vital that you do so - you may just wish to enjoy the lovely autumn flowers.

WHERE THERE’S A WILL….THERE’S A WAY Most people know they need to make a Will, some even understand the importance of a power of attorney, but too many people keep putting it off for another day as Wills get seen as low priority.

Call For Details

Question – ‘If your television stops working tonight what do you do tomorrow? Get it fixed, maybe order a new TV?’ This is because that daily fix of entertainment is seen as high priority.

0800 018 4480

We spend our lives saving, investing, buying a house, paying into a pension and loving our family yet we keep putting off THE most important document in the legal system. Your Will says who will inherit these assets, look after your young ✓ 20 years in children, and who will be responsible for sorting it all out – Unfortunately in our example the television is more important than your Will!

Business ✓ 20,000 Clients At Complete Wills we believe that the process of making a Will should be simple Based in Crewe we’ve had 20 years in business and have helped over 20,000 people write their Wills. Our consultant, who lives locally to you, will provide a friendly home visit fixed fee service.

It’ll take about an hour to advise you and to record your instructions, once approved we will return with your Will to supervise the signing and witnessing of the document, and the matter is dealt with.

We will discuss inheritance tax, protecting your home from care home fees, guardianship and funding for young children, maybe excluding a beneficiary from your Will and any other issues you may have. We will look at Powers of Attorney and how these may help in your circumstances, also Living Wills and prepaid Funeral Plans.

Further to these services we can provide advice on probate and dealing with a deceased person’s estate.

Shop Local

5 Reasons

to Shop Local One unexpected and welcome outcome from the Coronovirus lockdown is the way in which many small businesses have been able to adapt so that they can keep trading. We’ve seen cafes become grocers, restaurants develop collection and take-away services almost overnight, shops develop online e-commerce stores, and salon owners becoming YouTube stars as they share their skills and expertise with ever widening and appreciative audiences.

Even during times of crisis, the demand to shop can open up new opportunities in many industries. At The Effective Directories we’ve always believed that shopping local plays a vital role, and no matter what our world will look like in the future we should all carry on supporting local enterprise.

So here are 5 reasons why shopping local matters, now more than ever.

1. It builds local communities & strengthens local economies When you support a local business, you are supporting your friends, family, and neighbours.

The availability of local shops is especially important for the elderly, vulnerable, young people and those without access to private transport. Plus the more money that local councils make in rent and rates, the more they can spend on supporting local infrastructure and public services.

2. Local small businesses add character to towns and villages A small business or boutique shop adds character to the city or town when you walk or drive by. In a world that has become increasingly dominated by chain stores, a local business’s branding is unique and often quirky, adding something different to your High Street, offering an alternative experience, and bringing a much needed breath of fresh air into areas populated by generic stores and companies.

grow, and as they grow they’ll recruit more staff from the local population. Plus their success will encourage other local businesses to open up to take advantage of the footfall, encouraging other people to take the plunge and become entrepreneurs too!

4. You get a more personalised service Local business owners are friendly and engaging, they get to know their customers at a personal level and can provide better advice about their products and services. Local traders value your business more since their survival depends on their good reputation and repeat business. They can often adapt their products to suit your personal requirements, or source something bespoke for you, which big chains won’t do.

5. It’s better for the environment Shopping local means less mileage and petrol costs for you, which helps reduce CO2 emissions. Plus local shops often stock locally sourced goods which not only supports the local economy but also reduces transport times and costs of the goods, which impacts positively on their carbon footprint.

We know its tempting to default to the big chains or to buy online. But shopping locally is usually just as cost-effective and convenient, plus you are supporting your local community, rather than putting money in nameless and faceless shareholders’ pockets.

3. Shopping local creates more job opportunities and encourages entrepreneurship A local business that becomes a success will

Prices start from £109.

My lip clients are given at least a 45 minute appointment to go through a full consultation looking at your lips, understanding your lip goals and expectations, and making a personalised plan to achieve your perfect lips.

Sunekos Facial Rejuvenation - Winner of the Safety in Beauty Innovation and Pioneering award 2019, Sunekos is a non-surgical treatment comprising of a unique combination of hyaluronic acid and amino acids which triggers a skin regeneration process called dermal biogenesis. It is ideally for those who want to restore the naturally youthful look of your skin and improve signs of ageing. It is an injectable treatment that’s entirely different to filler treatments as it uses a patented formula which combines amino acids (the essential building blocks of elastin and collagen ) with hyaluronic acid. Sunekos regenerates the Extra Cellular Matrix (ECM) of your skin and deeply hydrates and plumps the treated tissue. This leads to ‘dermal biogenesis’.

This results in a reduction in the severity of your wrinkles, hydration to both the superficial and deep layers of your skin, and has a desirable volumising effect and a dramatic boost to your elastin and collagen. This treatment is ideal if you have loose, crepey, thin skin and/or a loss of volume around your eyes. It is also suited to help with lines, wrinkles, crepiness, volume-loss and laxity on your neck and face. Sunekos can significantly regenerate your ageing skin and restore a natural-looking, youthful appearance. Prices start from £125 per treatment, up to 4 treatments may be required for full results. Discount for a full package will apply. See www. sunekos.com for more details of this new innovative treatment.

Biorepeel C3 35% TCA Medical Grade Chemical Peel – This is an innovative treatment, using a patented 2-phase technology. It provides a bio-stimulating, revitalising & peelinglike effect. However it has little/no downtime and only minimal peeling if any! As a result, the combination of the active components allows it to effectively prevent the ageing of the skin. Also, it decreases damage from UV light, pigmentation or acne. Furthermore, the treatment is suitable for young skin during acute stages of acne, black heads, with recent or “fresh” scaring, as well as treating fine wrinkles. This treatment can be used on the face, neck, & other areas of the lower body including hands, knees & feet. Prices from £45 per peel.

Updates from The Office of Police & Crime Commissioner for Cheshire….

Funding available for victims services during coronavirus pandemic

Support services in Cheshire are being invited to bid for funding to support victims and survivors of domestic abuse and sexual violence and vulnerable children and their families through the COVID-19 pandemic.

PCC David Keane is launching the fund in Cheshire as part of a package of £76 million funding allocated by the Ministry of Justice nationally.

The funding will be ring-fenced for COVID-19 related emergency funding, and then ringfenced again for spend on each of the three areas of need listed below. Funds allocated for the three different types of services cannot be moved between pots. These funds will be distributed by PCCs as follows: - Domestic abuse services that are already commissioned by PCCs £10m.

- Sexual violence services that are already commissioned by PCCs and those that are not currently funded by PCCs £5m.

- Domestic abuse services that are not currently commissioned by PCCs £5m The funding has been put in place to meet the additional costs registered charities or social enterprises have incurred or will incur whilst adapting their services during the pandemic, and to cope with demand increases resulting from it, during this time period.

Any victims’ support service which is supporting victims through these traumas can apply for the funding, including those who are already commissioned by the PCC to provide services in Cheshire.

The Commissioner’s office is now asking for expressions of interest for organisations who would like to apply for the funding.

Funding can be used to address costs associated with COVID-19 from 24 March 2020 – the first day of lockdown.

PCC David Keane said: “The coronavirus pandemic has put additional demand on some of our most vital victims’ services.

“It has also created a situation where many victims have been trapped in their homes with their abusers during lockdown, creating an impossible situation with little means of escape.

“This funding will allow our support services to recoup some of the costs occurred by adapting their services during the pandemic as well as giving them the opportunity to provide additional support to victims over the next few months.”

Applicants must be careful not to apply for funding for the same activity via differing funding streams. Any applications will be considered by the PCC and recommendations

To advertise call 01270 765619 or visit www.tedmags.co.uk

for funding awards made to the Ministry of Justice based on what is determined to be the most critical areas of need for vulnerable victims during this period.

Guidance and FAQ documents provide further details and can be accessed via https:// www.gov.uk/guidance/covid-19-funding-for-domestic-abuse-and-sexual-violencesupport-services . The guidance document sets out the processes to be followed to access the funding across your local area and outlined that a needs assessment will have to be undertaken by the PCC to satisfy the MOJ around costs incurred or anticipated.

The application form can be found on the Commissioner’s website here: https://www. cheshire-pcc.gov.uk/news/latest-news/2020/05/funding-available-for-victims-servicesduring-coronavirus-pandemic/ Applications and queries must be submitted to PCC@cheshire.pnn.police.uk FAO Andrew Southcott, Head of Commissioning. Applications for assessment need to be submitted promptly prior to the 1 June 2020.

For further information, please contact Caroline Tozer caroline.tozer@cheshire.pnn.police.uk or 01606 364000.

GOOSFEST 2020 IS CANCELLED GOOSFEST 2021 IS ORGANISED Goosfest 2020 – the two-week October festival of music and arts in Goostrey – has been cancelled due to uncertainties from the COVID-19 pandemic. However, much of the schedule planned for 2020 has been lifted and re-booked for October 2021, when Goosfest organisers hope to run a packed programme.

Goosfest Chairman Bill Ollier said: “Unfortunately, the ongoing uncertainties around venue availability and continued social distancing meant that we had no option but to cancel this year’s Goosfest. Some of the performers had also indicated they would prefer not to perform this year.

“On the plus side, the majority of this year’s acts were able to confirm bookings for October 2021, so we’re now well on with organising next year’s festival, which will take place from Friday October 1st 2021, to Sunday October 17th.

“The decision to cancel Goosfest 2020 wasn’t taken lightly, but for all sorts of COVID-19 related reasons, we were left with little choice. We appreciate that there will be disappointment, and apologise to our many supporters, who were looking forward to booking tickets for some of the fantastic headline acts already announced. But we hope to exceed all expectations when we’re able to announce the full 2021 schedule in due course.”

Stay Connected During Coronavirus

Here is a list of free simple-to-use apps and services you can use to help maintain contact with the ones you love and care about no matter how close or far away they are.

Zoom - Few people had even heard of Zoom before coronavirus.

Maybe some of you used it to have teleconferences at work, but surely few of us were using it to stay in touch with family and friends. But now it’s become on of the go-to sources for all kinds of online classes, happy hours, social opps, telemedicine and, yes, meetings. And it’s free to download a Zoom Meetings license to your smartphone or computer, and that gives you access to an unlimited number of video meetings (which can support up to 100 people), and private and group chats, you know, in case you need all of that.

FaceTime - Have an iPhone, iPad or Mac computer? You can use Apple’s built-in FaceTime app to video chat with any of your contacts (as long as they also use the Apple platform).

While it’s primarily for video chatting, you also can use it to make audio calls if you’re in a spot that has a WiFi or data connection but a poor phone signal. Group FaceTime even allows you to chat with up to 32 people at once and can be used with almost all iOS devices with iOS 12 installed.

Google Duo/Hangouts - You can use the Google Duo app on your Android phone, iOS smartphone, tablet or computer to video chat with up to eight of your friends at a time. It uses your phone number and accesses your phone’s contacts list to let you start creating groups. Among its most unique features: Knock Knock, which gives users a preview of the person calling by firing up the camera on the other end of the line.

Whereas Google Duo is meant to be much more specialized, Google Hangouts is ideal to use on desktops. It supports messaging and group chats, and has voice and video chat capabilities. It’s built into Google+, Gmail, YouTube and Google Voice, and the app is compatible on iOS, Android and online.

Marco Polo - This easy-to-use app combines the best of texting, social media and video chats on one platform. If you want to video chat with someone — but can’t do so in real time because they have a busy work schedule or live in another time zone — Marco Polo is the app for you. You can send video messages to individuals or groups that they can watch and respond to at their leisure. Marco Polo saves all your video messages — and doesn’t limit your video time — so you can revisit past conversations. You also can add fun filters and voice effects to give your friends on the other end of the videos a laugh.

Skype - Skype messaging, as well as video and audio calling, was created for both oneon-one and group conversations, and you can use it on your mobile phone; PCs and Macs; Xboxes and Alexa. It’s free to send messages, and to conduct audio and video calls with groups of up to 50 people (paying a nominal fee also enables you to call mobile and landline phones or send online text messages). Skype even lets you record, save and share your video calls, and offers live captions and subtitles. It’s free to download (for iOS, Android, Windows and Mac) and easy to use. Just establish an account & add your friends to your contacts list.

To advertise call 01270 765619 or visit www.tedmags.co.uk

Facebook Messenger- More than 1 billion people have Facebook accounts, so theoretically you can use the Facebook Messenger app to connect with any of them. You can send instant messages, photos or videos, stickers, GIF files, emojis and more. You also can make free WiFi video calls from almost anywhere. Using Facebook Messenger is like using any other instant-messaging app. Simply click or tap on the compose button, select the individual(s) you would like to chat with and then start typing.

Netflix Party - If you want to have movie night with the girls, you still can using Netflix Party.

It’s a free Chrome browser extension you download on your computer. Once you’ve done that, you just navigate Netflix and pick the movie or TV show you want to watch. To invite friends to join your party, pause your show after it loads and click the red “NP” button. That will give you a unique link to send your friends so they can join your “room.” Then you can watch your movie or TV show together — and even talk about it using the platform’s chat tool.

Watch2gether - If you don’t have Netflix but still want to hang out with friends and watch videos online, Watch2gether lets you do just that. Head to the website and just “create a room” (no registration is required) and start watching video content from sources like YouTube, Vimeo, Dailymotion and SoundCloud. You can also sign up for free and create an online nickname. That way you can start inviting friends to rooms you can create, or join rooms that someone else has started.

WHY DOES YOUR LOCAL BUSINESS NEED MARKETING? There is only ONE reason: if people can’t see you then they’ll pick your competitor! Without customers, your business would not survive.

To attract and retain customers, your business needs to understand the value of marketing. People are unlikely to simply walk into your business and buy something from you if they don’t know who you are, what you are selling and why they should choose you over the competition (who are already doing that marketing to get noticed).

Many smaller businesses don’t place enough importance on marketing. They often see it as something that requires a lot of money and fancy advertising campaigns. But you don’t need the budget of Coca Cola to market effectively. For example, with no money you can allocate a couple of hours of your time to promote your business through your social media channels.

With a small amount of money you can place a print advert or a website banner.

Whatever you do, however, you need to be consistent. And here’s why: before any of your marketing is acted on your prospects need to go through four stages: Recognise, Read, React and Remember.

Recognise: When someone first spots your advert it flags you up in their sights. They see you, take a quick look and then most likely move on.

Read: The second time someone spots you they pay more attention – they read what you’ve got to offer and understand you a bit more.

React: Generally when someone spots your advert for the third time they get a sense of déjà vu. But even though the process of recognition has started, 7 they may like what you’ve got to offer, the timing may not be right. Other priorities such as a boiler to replace, or Great Uncle Ray’s 100th birthday present to buy, might mean their cash is put to use elsewhere. At this stage however, you are on their radar.

Remember: While your marketing communications are important to you, this isn’t always so with your prospects even if they specifically requested them. They may lose or misplace them, throw them away, accidentally deleted them or spilt their coffee on it. There may also be the slim possibility that you haven’t encouraged them to take immediate action. So, to help them remember, the key weapon to your marketing success now is Repetition.

Repetition: Bear in mind that your marketing communications are in competition with so much other marketing, that to convert your prospects into buyers, you need to keep in touch with them, repeatedly, before they FREE Hand Online will finally be motivated to act. Repetition builds familiarity Delivered Listing which in turn helps build credibility and encourages people to do business with you.

You will need

Tie Dye kit Plastic gloves Elastic bands White T-shirt 4 Step By Step Instructions…

Wet the T-shirt all over to start with, and then fold the T-shirt depending on what design you would like.

(Pic 1)For the stripe effect t-shirt look at image A, you need to fold the T-shirt from the bottom in a consertiner fold. For a swirl effect look at diagram B, you need to start in the middle of the T-shirt and twist it so it becomes one big swirl.

(Pic 2)Once you have folded your t-shirt you need to secure with elastic bands.

(Pic 3)Put your plastic gloves on and start to add a generous amount of dye to the folded T-shirt, we did a rainbow of colours, you need to make sure you apply enough so it sinks through the layers of the T-shirt.

Leave the T-shirt overnight so the Dye can adhere to the fabric.

Place your gloves back on and start to remove the elastic bands, you will then be able to see your fabulous creation, I would advise you wash your T-shirt before wearing.

Have fun X Follow us on www.facebook.com/pages/ The-Effective-Directories/118458098222904

Andrea’s AMMF Army – Fundraising update…

My name is Andrea and I run these little directories that you are reading, as many of you know I was diagnosed with a very rare form of cancer in October 2015 called Cholangiocarcinoma (cancer of the bile duct). This cancer has one of the worst survival rates of all cancers.

There is only one charity here in the UK that offers help and support to people affected by this deadly cancer, called The AMMF Cholangiocarcinoma Cancer Charity. I have since made it my ongoing mission to raise much needed funds and awareness for them, along with my family and friends now nick named as -#AndreasAMMFArmy!

Latest fundraiser - 2.6 challenge 26th April 2020 Many well-known large charity events such as the London Marathon, along with lots of other major events, have had to be cancelled over the past 3 months because of COVID-19, and the current lockdown restrictions in place. The big named charities have literally seen their fundraising income disappear almost overnight, with the smaller charities fairing even worse. These smaller charities like The AMMF are really struggling right Chris, Andrea & Ben now and really will need all our help to get back on track, so they can continue the amazing work they do.

My youngest child Ben (aged 8), decided he would like to take part in the national 2.6 challenge, that was launched to help charities during the lockdown period. He decided his challenge would be to cycle 26km on the day that the London Marathon should have taken place.

Family and friends agreed to donate a small amount of money for every kilometre he completed.

Ben on his bike

Ben successfully completed all 26km and raised a huge £403 for The AMMF on the day, making us really proud in the process too!

AndreasAMMFArmy Facemasks We have teamed up with a local company called Zubble, who have been designing facemasks for both local businesses and individuals to use. Their masks can be made bespoke and feature your own logo on them, or they also have a wide range of pre-designed facemasks to choose from as well.

AMMF Facemask They kindly agreed to design a charity facemask with our slogan #AndreasAMMFArmy on them, with a donation from each mask sold going to charity. The masks cost £5 each, with £1.50 from each sale going directly to the AMMF charity. If you would like to purchase one of these facemasks, please get in touch with me on 0798 3377644 or message me via our Facebook page AndreasAMMFArmy.

Since November 2016, when I first started my fundraising mission, I have now raised over £65,000! This has only been possible with the continued support and the generosity of friends, family and the many local businesses that have regularly helped and supported the ongoing fundraising events I have organised.

Every penny raised has gone directly to the charity and helps fund valuable research into ways of trying to identify this deadly cancer earlier, and hopefully will help save more lives going forward!

The wheels are already in motion for my next big challenge which will involve a 1000km bike ride across Thailand, which is one of the worst places on the planet for the cancer I had called Cholangiocarcinoma!

If you would like to donate to the AMMF charity please visit my current JustGiving page www.justgiving.com/fundraising/AndreasAMMFArmyEBC Thank you so much for reading this story and if you would like to keep in touch with our latest fundraising activities and future challenges please like our Facebook page/Andreas AMMF Army Please mention the Holmes Chapel Directory when responding to adverts
