The programme, which includes details on the Year of Culture events from January to June 2019, is available now and is free from all libraries, Horsham Museum, The Capitol, Steyning Bookshop and other outlets.

The Horsham District Year of Culture 2019 – a year-long celebration of inspirational events – is almost upon us.

At the outset when we announced our plans to celebrate this unique year for our District we posed the question of our local communities “What is culture?”

Download it from www.hdculture 2019.co.uk.

The next programme covering July to December 2019 will be out in May 2019.

The answers we received were innovative, exciting, many and varied, just like the special line up of cultural events and activities we have on offer throughout what is set to be a game changer of a year. Take a look at how the numbers stack up.

It’s a joy to see so many families here.

@HorshamDC

In April 2018 we went out with a public consultation to ask local residents views on what you would like to see in the area and we are sure you will agree that the refurbished space and imaginative new play equipment are a massive improvement. We look forward to adding some more elements to the play area in the near future.

The new Roffey castle is a real hit!

In keeping with the new medieval theme of the park, a fun children's joust was organised, along with other activities including a professional sword fighting display, tug of war and children's dressing up – all with a helping hand from Loxwood Joust.

If you have any queries about the play area please contact our Parks and Countryside team on 01403 215256 or email parks@horsham.gov.uk.

Giving Rita confidence to live her life as she wants Footprint is just one of a range of products from Horsham District Council’s Community Link service, using technology to help keep people safe and independent in their own homes and when they are out and about.

Before I had the tracker I didn’t feel confident about going out but now I am.

I don't feel isolated with this.

It is a location tracking device which can be carried by active and vulnerable people such as those who live with dementia, people with mobility impairments, victims of domestic violence or even lone workers.

It can send an alarm at the touch of a single ‘SOS’ button and can also be used to monitor the actual location of any incident using GPS tracking.

This can be monitored by family, friends, carers or the Council’s Control Centre.

Meet Rita McNeill, she has been using our Footprint product for over two years. Here’s what she has to say about how it has helped her: “I’m an asthma sufferer and never know when an attack can happen, so the tracker gives me the freedom to go out visiting and live my life as I want to live it, knowing that I can always be found if I get into difficulty.

It makes me feel safe.

“I first used the Footprint tracker when I was outdoors walking in the countryside with a neighbour who uses a mobility scooter. We were in the middle of nowhere and she became stranded, but using the tracker we were able to raise the alarm and get people out to come to our aid.

“Before I had the tracker I didn’t feel confident about going out but now I am. I don't feel isolated with this.”

The Footprint tracker product is similar to a mobile phone, you can have a two-way conversation with it and it can be linked to a smartphone to receive alerts. It connects with up to three telephone numbers by voice or text. A fall detection device within the product can also be turned on.

The Refill movement in our District How can you stay hydrated when you are out and about without buying a single use plastic water bottle?

Kinder Living and supported by Horsham District Council. To mark the launch a new public water tap was installed near the Nature Garden in Horsham Park.

Use a Refill station to fill up your reusable water bottle.

Refill is part of national movement giving access to free tap water and reducing plastic pollution. It is a simple practical scheme:

A scheme known as Refill Horsham District was launched in the summer by a voluntary organisation called

• Premises, including museums, shops, cafes and pubs join the scheme and become Refill Stations and put a Refill sticker in their window to show that the public are welcome to come in and fill their own water bottle for free • Refill Stations can be found by downloading the free Refill app www.refill.org.uk/get-therefill-app.

There are already lots of refill stations in and around Horsham District, in fact there are already 25 stations in Horsham Town Centre alone – just look out for the Refill window stickers. Premises are continuing to join the scheme all the time around the District and nationwide.

If you want to include your premises in the scheme email refill@kinderliving.co.uk.

Losing weight… Healthy eating…

Being more active…

Would you like to get active but don’t know where to begin? Or are you looking for a new social activity that will help you to get fit?

The Health and Wellbeing team run eight Exercise to Music courses a year plus a range of other free activities to help adults get active and stay active (subject to eligibility).

If the answer is ‘yes’, then why not sign up to a free Exercise to Music course with the Council’s Horsham District Wellbeing team?

The next courses will start in January 2019. For more information, call 01403 215111 or visit www. horshamdistrictwellbeing.org.uk.

Starting to exercise can be daunting if you haven’t ever exercised in the past or haven’t done anything for some time, so the Wellbeing team offer an Exercise to Music course aimed at helping you take those first steps.

So far over 150 people have signed up to the course and many continue to enjoy the social side of exercise by joining the graduate group. This really helps people to stay motivated and provides a fantastic support network which is sometimes needed to get out there and stay active.

Just do it.

What have you got to lose?

After

Here’s what Kirsty, one of our graduates had to say about the course: Why did you sign up for the course?

I thought it was well worth a try as it was free and I was at a stage in my life where I knew things needed to change and I wanted to change.

I thought it was the best course for me as most people would be in the same sort of situation as me rather than turning up to a class full of super fit healthy people!

How did you find the course?

I went along and completed the free 10 week course and LOVED it.

It was easy, fun and everyone was very supportive of each other and the teacher was really encouraging every week. I started to feel fitter and my weight started to go down which only made things easier.

I knew things needed to change and I wanted to change.

Before

How did you feel going along to the last session?

At the end of the 10 weeks I was so pleased with myself. I could also see my body changing and it no longer was a struggle. I signed up straight away for the next 10 week advanced course and will carry on for the foreseeable future.

Do you have any future goals?

My future goals are to continue with the exercise and continue to change my life. Since starting the Exercise to Music course and working on my diet I have lost four stone in weight which really hasn't been as hard as I imagined it would be.

What would you say to someone who was thinking about joining the course?

My advice to anyone contemplating starting the 10 week free Exercise to Music course is, “Just do it.

What have you got to lose? You just have so much to gain, if I can do it, anyone can.”

My message to the Council’s Health and Wellbeing team is, “Thank you for helping me start to make the changes in my life to become a better me.”

Supporting a healthy high street Amid tough retail trading conditions nationally, we are set to buck the trend by developing tailored training for independent retailers in our market towns and villages.

Horsham District Council has received funding to deliver a training and support programme which will focus on improving customer experience for local shoppers.

The Council has commissioned retail specialist, Chris Billington from Progressive Results Training to deliver a fully funded programme called ‘Your Customer Experience’.

The programme will consist of four key elements:

Facilitated workshops All of the District’s 200+ independent retailers will be invited to participate in workshops offering thought-provoking guidance and tips on how to improve their customers’ experience.

© Toby Phillips Photography

Bespoke rapid improvement sessions

Display enhancement grants

These will be one-to-one sessions in the retailer’s own premises which will help improve specific performance areas and ensure that all commercial opportunities are being exploited.

Lend a hand, have fun, volunteer!

It was one of the best decisions I’ve made.

Amy’s story With over 700 active voluntary groups and organisations making a positive difference to people, places, animals and the environment within our District, Horsham District Council’s Voluntary Sector Support (VSS) team are certainly kept busy, but are always available to help.

It takes an army of volunteers to keep the hundreds of groups going, so recruiting volunteers is an ongoing activity.

Meet Amy, 20, who got in touch with us recently.

Amy was looking for help to find a volunteering role. Here’s what she had to say:

“I registered with VSS Portal online and inputted my interests and availability. It was easy and simple.

After just a day of being signed up I received an email from Turning Tides (formerly Worthing Churches Homeless Project) asking if I’d be interested in volunteering with them.

It was one of the best decisions I’ve made, having the chance to help other people and make new friends.”

The Council's Voluntary Sector Support team.

They are a friendly team of experienced community development officers who are passionate about supporting our vibrant voluntary sector. By working together with local organisations they can help with information on a wide range of topics such as volunteer recruitment, training, fundraising, and aspects of legal compliance.

There’s a role for everyone With nearly 70 vacancies registered with the Council team, there’s plenty of choice for things to do. Could you consider being a driver for Southwater Neighbourhood Network, a Court Family Support Volunteer for Sussex Prisoner Families, a friendly welcoming face at Warnham Nature Reserve, a kitchen assistant at Henfield Haven or a mentor with Sussex Pathways, helping ex-offenders make good life choices? This is just a flavour of the opportunities on offer.

Contact us to find that perfect role for you All you need to do is register your details on the the website or give the team a call.

For community groups to register their vacancies on the Portal visit www.horsham.gov.uk and search for Voluntary Sector Support.

For further information, please visit www.volunteer horshamdistrict.co.uk, email volunteering@horsham.gov.uk or call 01403 215191.

Funding to adapt your home for accessibility

Converted front access.

If you need to make your home more accessible or you need specialist equipment to help you manage day-to-day tasks more safely and easily, then you might be entitled to financial help with the costs.

Disabled Facilities Grants (DFGs) are available from Horsham District Council to pay for essential housing adaptations to help disabled people stay in their own homes. In order to access a Disabled Facilities Grant there are a number of eligibility criteria.

In West Sussex a county-wide project is currently being undertaken to explore innovative new ways of delivering Disabled Facilities Grants.

As part of this project the Council has adopted a flexible approach to the use of discretionary DFGs in order to improve the health and well-being of disabled people and make the best use of the resources available.

Here’s how some local residents have already benefitted from the scheme.

It was really easy to apply for the grant and the workmen completed the alterations really professionally.

Converted rear access.

Mr Bourke and his severely disabled wife of Horsham were struggling to cope with personal care needs in their existing bathroom. They approached the Council’s Environmental Health team for help and, working together with occupational therapists from West Sussex County Council, they found that they qualified for funding to adapt their bathroom into a bespoke wet room with an adapted shower.

Mr Bourke commented: “I cannot praise the Environmental team at the District Council enough for their help with the application process and their practical help in accessing our needs and measuring up for the wet room.

It works perfectly for us.”

Newly installed wet room.

@HorshamDC

Mrs Cawson from Steyning has severe arthritis. She found herself struggling with the steps up to her house entrance and the path to her garden at the back of the house. She approached the Council about funding to improve access to the front and rear of her property and was delighted to qualify for a Disabled Facilities Grant to make the necessary alterations.

Mrs Cawson commented: “It was really easy to apply for the grant and the workmen completed the alterations really professionally.

The new pathways make things a lot easier for me.”

If you want more information about the assistance that may be available, you can contact the Environmental Health team at the Council on 01403 215405.

Residents crack recycling target ahead of time

Here’s what some residents have to say about our recycling achievements: Thank you for doing such a great job at getting us to recycle.

Thanks to residents’ recycling efforts combined with the shift to same-day, alternative weekly bin collections earlier this year, our recycling statistics are looking rosy.

We knew from the experiences of other councils who have made similar changes that recycling rates should increase. The additional benefit is that the disposal of household waste reduces which in the long run helps the environment.

An initial snapshot of our statistics show that since 1 April our household recycling rate has reached the national target of 50% which the Council needed to achieve by 2020 – so together we have cracked the target well ahead of time. We are the first council in West Sussex to achieve this target.

We wish to thank the residents of the Horsham District for helping us to achieve this challenging target.

The new bin collection service introduced recycling collections one week, and household waste collected the same day the following week, (instead of household waste being collected every week).

The new service was implemented in response to increased national recycling targets as well as the need to find a more cost effective way of delivering the bin collection service given cuts in funding from central government.

We continue to ask all residents to keep thinking about how they might be able to reduce, reuse or recycle their household waste even more.

For advice and tips including a useful A to Z list of what can and can’t be recycled, visit our online pages at www.horsham.gov.uk/bins/ thinkbeforeyouthrow.

Those wishing to subscribe to the garden waste collection service should do so online at www.horsham.gov. uk/bins/garden-waste.

If you have any queries about our waste and recycling services please call 01403 733144.

Having bin collections every other week definitely makes me recycle more.

I hope the Council can manage to get 100% recycled in the future.

Could your child be a victim of criminal exploitation?

Spot the signs There is a growing concern nationally that an increasing number of young people are becoming victims of criminal exploitation, where they are being pressurised into delivering drugs for dealers.

Although it is only a very small number of young people that are at risk of being exploited, the Council’s Community Safety team report that it is a growing concern in the Horsham District and, as part of National Safeguarding Month in November 2018, they are set to get to the heart of the problem.

The team has developed a number of activities aimed at helping to raise awareness of criminal exploitation as an issue and highlighting to both parents and young people where they can go to for support.

@HorshamDC

• A child’s unexplained acquisition of money/mobile phones • A child persistently being reported missing • Children’s unpredictable behaviour and refusal to say where they have been and who they have been with.

How the Council is tackling criminal exploitation locally Initiatives so far include: • Preparing guidelines for staff working in secondary schools to explain about criminal exploitation and what to do if they think a pupil is being exploited • Offering information evenings about drugs and criminal exploitation for parents in each of the secondary schools across the Horsham District • Working with Collyer’s College media students to produce a film about the ‘journey of exploitation’ for school children • Organising a conference for professionals to highlight the issues

• Receiving unexplainable contact from people who parents don’t recognise as peers • Disengagement from normal activities and previous friendship groups • Declining behaviour and performance at school.

• One-to-one direct work with individuals who are at risk • Working closely with local police and other agencies to address concerns of exploitation.

What to do if you are concerned?

If you are worried that a child/young person may be being exploited seek advice: Call the Police on 101 or 999 in an emergency. Call MASH (Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub) 01403 229900 or email communitysafety@horsham. gov.uk.

Helping you into paid employment The Council’s ‘Journey to Work’ employment support scheme is back.

The successful employment support project, has helped over 500 local people get back into work over the last six years.

‘Journey to Work’ helps people find work through one-to-one support, mentoring, training and confidence building. We also facilitate access to work placement opportunities, which ultimately provides the biggest boost to people in their search for employment.

If you are unemployed and on benefits, please contact our new Employment Support Development Officer, Lesley Beauvoisin, on 01403 215262 or email her at lesley.beauvoising@horsham.gov.uk.

Ever thought about being a councillor?

All councils are led by democratically elected councillors who set the vision and direction, and represent local communities.

Many of us often take the facilities we have in our District for granted – our community events, parks and nature reserves, car parks, housing, bin collections and much more, without stopping to think how they come to be. Or indeed who is behind all the amenities we often use on a daily basis.

@HorshamDC

The duties of a councillor are many and varied, however it is the ordinary day to day contact with local people that is the most important role of being a councillor – listening to residents needs and identifying concerns in order to help solve problems.

All councillors are given training and support to help with their duties.

Do you think you’ve got what it takes to represent the voice of your community?

Horsham District Council elections are set to take place on 2 May 2019.
