BETTER WAYS TO Bryan Turner MRPharmS

Manage Pain

ast month I wrote for Inside Magazines on the problems caused by the over-prescribing of pain killers (analgesics), particularly those containing opiates such as Codeine. Hot on the heels of the article, the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) have published a consultation. They are developing guidance for NHS professionals about advising patients suﬀering from osteoarthritis, one of the biggest causes of analgesic prescribing. Under the new guidance, if approved, GPs will no longer be expected to prescribe analgesics as the first line of therapy. Instead, they will be expected to explain to patients how non-drug therapy will be better for them. The core treatments for the condition will be therapeutic exercise and weight loss (if appropriate), along with information and support. Patients will be encouraged to take up tailored therapeutic exercise, for example local muscle strengthening and general aerobic fitness. The evidence shows that doing regular and consistent exercise, even though this may initially cause discomfort, will be beneficial for the aﬀected joints and that long term exercise will increase the benefit.

Where advice on weight management is considered appropriate, GPs and other health professionals will be expected to advise patients that weight loss will improve their quality of life, and also improve how they function physically, while reducing pain. NHS staff will encourage patients to make a significant weight reduction, where appropriate, and maintain a healthy weight in the long term. For patients with osteoarthritis in the knee, this is of particular importance. NHS staff will try to encourage patients to lose 10% of their body weight as a general rule. NICE recognise that weight loss can be difficult, and keeping it off can be more difficult still. However, the evidence is strong that there are clear benefits to the quality of life of patients if this can be achieved. Where it is considered that prescribed medicines may be needed, the first choice will be creams and gels to be applied to the painful sites. These will only be prescribed when the exercise therapy referred to above is already in place, and

they will only be prescribed for the shortest possible period of time. Analgesics containing opiates will only be prescribed as a last resort, and only in the short term. Progressing to stronger and stronger opiates will be very much discouraged. Having seen a patient with osteoarthritis, and taken the steps outlined above, GPs will be expected to encourage followup appointments to monitor the progress made. There is general belief amongst much of the population that osteoarthritis is simply caused by worn out joints, and that if you work those joints then the damage gets worse. It is however much more complicated than that. Healthy joints are surrounded by healthy and strong ligaments and tendons, and they are kept in good condition by the steps that NICE are setting out in their consultation.

Prescribing Caroline Osella, Caroline writes @ https://worthingethnographic.com/

y Aunty Doris was an asthma sufferer who was regularly at the Doctors. On one visit, he suggested to her a new approach:- take up smoking. Asthma, the Doc explained, was a failure of the breathing tubes to open up properly and to get enough air in. Cigarette smoking, the Doc advised, would train Doris’ lungs - and also her - to breathe more powerfully and inhale deeply. Doris, then in her 20s, took up smoking (along with who knows how many other patients also given this advice). By her 50s, Doris suffered every winter from bronchitis that left her bedridden for weeks. In her 60s, she had COPD and eventually died, too young, in hospital. By then she’d had one foot and lower leg removed, and her only outings were in a wheelchair, from the ward, down to the hospital grounds, for a fag. The doctor’s advice was, of course, terrible. But you have to understand that back in the 1960s, ashtrays and smoking were everywhere and a part of life: in the cinema; the home; the pub; on the bus and - yes, even in doctor’s waiting rooms. But the doctor’s intentions were good. He noted Doris’ shallow breathing and had wanted to offer her something other than a lifetime prescription of drugs that would have side effects for the heart. He wanted to find a behavioural solution, something that would help Doris to exercise her lungs and change her breathing. 60 years later, I’m reading a bunch of reports about doctors who prescribe singing - usually in a choir context - for patients with asthma. This has

been thoroughly tested by now and, to quote one medical journal, can offer “notable improvement in asthma control”. In 2021, a 6-week pilot project with the English National Opera (ENO) and Covid patients, who suffered long-term breathlessness . ENO Breathe offered singing and breathing lessons to a trial group. The results were encouraging - ‘significantly reduced dyspnoea (breathlessness) and anxiety’ - and the Breathe Programme became a mainstream part of UK social prescribing. You might not yet have heard about ‘social prescribing’ - but you will. In the face of the startling statistic that between 2% and 28% of GP appointments could be saved by interventions that offer non-clinical solutions, there’s a big push all over the UK to roll out and trial the efficacy of a range of activities. NHS England has adopted social prescribing as a core strategy in its goal of supporting people to take responsibility and control of their own health. You might well scoff - ‘cost-cutting exercise’, or ‘pass the buck to social and community sectors’. The political aspect is clear. But it’s also true that joining a community choir, a walking group, or getting access to free pilates sessions, is something that can improve all-around health. Social prescribing also includes things like arts and crafts, digital literacy training, advice sessions around housing or benefits - and more. In Worthing, you can search the ‘Going Local’ webpage or ask at your GP surgery about social prescribing activities currently available.

The INSIDE on social media

Answering your questions about

Social Media! Jordan Whittingham

Since starting this regular column with Inside Magazines, readers have been proliﬁc at emailing in questions and requests for advice. So, today I decided to tackle that growing inbox and answer some of the most commonly asked questions.

How can I make social media a better place to be? Louis, West Worthing

This is a good one and came up in several emails. My advice for this is to understand that the algorithm (that’s the lines of computer code that make the whole platform work) will show you more of whatever you interact with. So think about that next time you’re about to comment on a garbage click-bait headline from a major news outlet, or when you’re about to write a sarcastic comment under your least favourite politician’s latest Facebook update. For example, Like, ReTweet and Comment on only the stuﬀ you love, then within a few weeks your social media feeds will look very diﬀerent!

absolutely no way to do this consistently without paying for ads. Social Media, especially Facebook and Instagram, has become increasingly pay-toplay. Meaning, if you want to reach anyone that isn’t already following you then you need to be running ads.

I spend way too much time on social media, and it’s even eﬀecting my relationships, how can I cut my screen time? Sophie, Broadwater

Ah Sophie, the age old question of how the heck can I stop checking my phone?! I feel for you, because social media can not only be highly addictive but also incredibly detrimental to our mental health. But you’re in luck. In the April edition of this very magazine I wrote an in-depth

Should I be paying for adverts on Facebook? Jon, Durrington

That depends entirely on what your goals are. If your goal is simply to keep your existing followers and friends informed with what’s happening with your business then the answer is no, there is no need to run paid ads. However, if like most businesses, you want to grow your following and increase awareness of your company then there is

article about how you can detox from social media. You can view back issues of Inside Magazines via their website. So head there now and digitally flick through April’s magazine to find my detailed advice.

I want to come oﬀ Facebook altogether but just can’t seem to ﬁnd the courage, any advice? Dean, Goring

My advice here may seem brutal but it’s probably what is needed; just do it. If you use it regularly to stay in touch with people, then inform close friends and family that you’re deleting your profile and make sure they have the correct contact number for you. Get yourself into those Settings and delete your account. Afterwards, give yourself a pat on the back, because despite the fact I work in this industry, I firmly believe a large percentage of people would be far better oﬀ without it in their lives, so well done you for getting it done! I sincerely hope that my advice helps you tackle your social media woes. If you have any more questions that this tech-savy Agony Aunt can help you with then please email hello@insidemagazines. community and put ‘Social Media Question’ in the header.

Art Trail

For a third year, Broadwater children are supported by Broadwater businesses!

o celebrate the Queen’s jubilee this year, children at Broadwater C of E Primary School are using the shop windows once again, to display a fantastic selection of artwork celebrating the Queen’s reign. Each window is displaying work from an individual year group, from Reception to Year 6 (aged 10-11). The Art Trail project follows a successful venture two years ago, when businesses came to the rescue after the school’s annual art exhibition had to be cancelled due to the coronavirus. School art co-ordinator Jo Eccles said, “Following the success of last 2 year’s Art Trails we are delighted to be able to display our children’s work for a third year for the public to enjoy. “This wouldn’t be possible without the support of the businesses involved and we are hugely grateful to them all for taking part and giving us their window space.”

Landmark 30th year

for local homeless charity

Turning Tides, sees them launch vital appeal to secure their frontline services

urning Tides is marking 30 years since its foundation in 1992 – and this 30th year is bringing a crucial appeal for community support as they source funding for their vital frontline services. Last year, the charity supported over 900 homeless people, but homeless numbers are rising as households face escalating living costs. The charity is navigating cuts to established funding streams and is very concerned about its crucial outreach and hub services, providing lifesaving support to people who are homeless and having to sleep rough. The charity’s Community Hubs provide essential practical and emotional support to people who have had to sleep rough. They are the fundamental start to most people’s journey out of homelessness providing food, clothing, showers, washing machines, housing and employment advice, medical care and counselling. People experiencing homelessness depend on them. One client explains: “Sleeping rough … I have been through hell and back… I am certain the hubs save a lot of lives.”

Turning Tides’ Chief Executive, John Holmstrom is concerned: “The future of our Community Hubs must be secured if we are to continue our life saving work. People come to our Hubs, very often, because they have no other place to turn to. Some are extremely vulnerable and experiencing severe mental ill health and/or physical illness

from having to live on the streets or fleeing the threat of violence. There is no doubt in my mind if the Hubs are unable to remain open - people’s lives will be at risk.” Thousands of people have depended on support from the Landmark 30th year for local homeless charity Hubs and outreach workers, over the years, something which Claire Halford-Dale, Worthing’s

Hub Manager is only too aware: “It takes a lot of courage for anyone to ask for help. A lot of people that come to us are really at their lowest ebb, they often feel physically and emotionally exhausted - the toll of sleeping rough in all weathers. Every single person that comes to us is diﬀerent, and how they became homeless is diﬀerent and consequently how we support them is individual to them. It is vital everyone is regarded as an individual with their own needs and circumstances. At our hubs they can access a wide range of support such as mental health and counselling, advice on housing, money management, essential physical and dental care, clean and warm clothing, food and much more. I am in no doubt the Hubs have saved lives and continue to be a vital safety net for people experiencing the trauma of homelessness.” The number of people homeless in England is predicted to jump by a third by 2024. Councils are warning there could be a “tidal wave” of need caused by benefit freezes, soaring food and energy bills and the end of Covid eviction bans. It could equate to more than 66,000 more people homeless by 2024. Turning Tides are appealing to the public to support these critical frontline services when demand for their services has never been greater.

CHALLENGE I

t’s back! On Saturday 16th July you can take part in the YMCA DownsLink Challenge, a 17.5 mile sponsored walk along the beautiful Downs Link Pathway, knowing every step will help change young lives.

Last year more than 150 people stepped out to raise money for YMCA DownsLink Group, the South East’s leading charity in preventing youth homelessness and supporting young people in crisis. Comedian, Eddie Izzard, and

I would encourage you to get involved in the YMCA DownsLink Challenge to help homeless young people and put them back on the path to independence Eddie Izzard 2021

Olympian, Sally Gunnell, encouraged people to sign up which helped the inaugural YMCA DownsLink Challenge to raise £16,000 which went towards providing a safe place to live for over 750 local young people, every night of the year. Money also went towards enabling young people to develop the skills needed to live independently when ready. To build on the success of last year, the charity has set an ambitious target for

INSIDE Charity

this year’s event and are aiming to sign up 500 participants and raise £30,000 to help fund its vital services. The Downs Link Pathway is a disused railway line which links Surrey to Sussex (Guildford to Shoreham by Sea) is how YMCA DownsLink Group got its name. The charity is the largest provider of youth services in Sussex and Surrey and supports over 6,000 vulnerable young people and their families every year. Although best known for its work to prevent youth homelessness by providing supported housing to young people in need, the charity also provides a range of advice, support and counselling services to vulnerable young people in crisis. In the past two years the charity has seen around a 50% increase in the number of young people reaching out for its support, so fundraising events, like the DownsLink Challenge, have never been more important. Chas Walker, CEO YMCA DownsLink Group, explains how

fundraised income will support the charity’s work this year: “The past two years have been tough for everyone, but for many young people, already on the margins of society, it has been devastating. Young people, particularly those in low paid or gig economy jobs, were already feeling the economic impact of

the pandemic, but coupled with the current cost of living crisis, many are struggling to aﬀord the basics, such as food & rent. We are struggling to cope with the numbers of young people coming to us in need of housing, despite increasing our provision in places such as Hastings. And, most worryingly, we’ve seen a huge increase in the severity of mental health issues and poor

emotional wellbeing in both our young residents, and those coming to access help at our Youth Advice Centres (YAC). Money raised by events such as YMCA DownsLink Challenge, will go towards sustaining and increasing our provision for those local young people most in need.” Participants can choose whether to walk or run the 17.5 miles from Horsham to Shoreham, or for anyone feeling super fit, or wanting a bigger challenge, there is an option to do the full 36 miles from Guildford to Shoreham. Everyone is being asked to raise a minimum of £75 and anyone raising over £150 will be entered into a prize draw to win a hamper of ‘goodies’. For anyone unable to join on the day or wanting to take on a challenge a bit closer to home, there is also the option to do a challenge in your own area and in your own time. Alternative routes, throughout Sussex (East Sussex / West Sussex / Brighton & Hove and Guildford) are provided on YMCA DownsLink’s website.

Registration is just £20 which covers the cost of putting on the event and includes a branded T shirt and ﬁnisher’s medal. To sign up or for more information, visit: www.ymcadlg.org/ymca-downslink-challenge

INSIDE Local History

SUSSEX Chris Hare

nlike our neighbours, Surrey and Hampshire, our county of Sussex was once a kingdom. In fact, there were kings of Sussex for about 300 years. Even after its royal status was lost, the county brought forward many noble families, including the powerful Godwin family, whose ancestral lands were at Bosham. It was a member of this family who became King Harold II of England, and was killed at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. Unlike other county flags, created in recent years for tourism purposes, the Sussex

the county that was once a kingdom

flag dates back to medieval times. So how did Sussex become a kingdom and how did it lose its royal status? We have to go back some 1600 years, to the last days of Roman rule in Britain. The local tribe, unlike the Iceni and Queen Boudicea, were allies rather than enemies of the Romans. The great Roman palace at Fishbourne, was not built for an ethnic Italian, lauding it over the local people. It was built for Togidubnus, king of the local Britons, who was a friend of Roman general, Vespasian. This friendship strengthened when the two men worked together against enemies of Rome in Britain. Vespasian later became Roman emperor, and Togidubnus, Imperial Legate. When the good times came to an end, the Roman Empire abandoned Britain, and many of the descendants of Togidubnus fled to safer parts of the

empire. Some of the middling ranks of society gathered up their worldly goods and moved westwards. Only those too poor to move or too stubborn to care, remained. They then faced waves of economic migrants coming over to our shores from what today is Holland and Germany. Rising sea levels had inundated the lands these people farmed. They were eager to seize the lush agricultural plain of the Sussex coast. The mythology of these people – known to us the Anglo-Saxons, is that they arrived with their leader, Aella, and his three sons, Cymen, Wlencing, and Cyssa. According to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle (that for centuries only existed orally, before it was written down), the AngloSaxons derided the indigenous people as the ‘welchen’ – the foreigners - and slaughtered them in a number of bloody battles (from ‘welchen’ we get ‘Welsh’ – and it was to what became Wales and West Wales, or Cornwall – that many fled from invaders). Some archaeologists doubted these gruesome accounts as they have found no evidence for great battles or massacres. On the other hand, nearly all the place names of the Romano-British

INSIDE Local History

disappeared and were replaced by Anglo-Saxon names. Few counties have such an overwhelmingly preponderance of Anglo-Saxon place names as Sussex. Three local exceptions are Warningcamp (the Latin ‘campus’ – open space), Ecclesden (from the Latin for church, ‘Ecclesia’), and Portslade (from the Latin, ‘portus’ – port). Our local place names – Worthing, Goring, Durrington, Salvington, Broadwater, Lancing, and Sompting, are all AngoSaxon in origin. There must have been diﬀerent names before the Saxons arrived, but have been lost in the mists of time. Aella styled himself King of the South Saxons in the mid to late fifth century. The name of Sussex is derived from ‘South Saxon’. Aella was such a ferocious warrior and charismatic king that, it is said, all other Saxon kings accepted him as their overlord, or ‘Bretwalda’. Legend states that local settlements and landmarks were named after Aella’s sons: Cissbury after Cyssa, Lancing after Wlencing, and Cymensora for Shoreham. However, modern historians are sceptical about these claims, especially regarding Cissbury. Until the seventeenth century, Cissbury was simply known as ‘The Bury,’ and was still referred to as this by local people well into the nineteenth century. It is thought that the first map-makers added names from their knowledge of history not from the information supplied by locals. The River

Adur, for example, was known as ‘Shoreham River’ until a cartographer, who mistakenly believed that the Adurni tribe had once lived here, gave it the name of ‘Adur’. Sussex was not only a kingdom, for a short time it even had an empire! Having existed for about two hundred years, the royal House of Sussex began to cast covetous eyes over the lands of its large neighbour to the west, Wessex. King Aethelwalh of Sussex entered into an alliance with King Penda of Mercia, and together they invaded Wessex and defeated that kingdom in a short and bloody war. Sussex occupied the Meon Valley of what is now Hampshire and also conquered the Isle of Wight. Two Isle of Wight princes survived the battle and were captured. Aethelwalh ordered them put to death, as he didn’t want the islanders to have any pretenders to rally around in the future. For some 20 years, Sussex and its king enjoyed their spoils, but Wessex was only biding its time. By this time Sussex was the only English kingdom to remain pagan, while the other kingdoms had all converted to Christianity. It is possible that the bishops were

keen for this stubbornly heathen kingdom to be brought into line. A great army, consisting mainly of the men of Wessex attacked Sussex when its people were supposedly suffering from a famine and too weak to defend themselves: bringing the pagan kingdom to an end. However, a great rebellion took place in the year 722 in Devon and Sussex against the rule of Wessex. It is reported that the Sussex men were led by two leaders, both styled themselves as ‘Rex’ or ‘Royal’: Byrthun in the west and Andhun in the east. It would seem that the idea of an East and a West Sussex date back to those far off days. In the eleventh century, Sussex is still being referred to as a kingdom, although nominally part of Wessex. Indeed the Godwins of Bosham, were created ‘Earls of Wessex’ by King Canute. Legend stated that Canute’s young daughter was buried at Bosham. Her coffin was discovered beneath the knave of Bosham Church in Victorian times. Sussex has many Saxon churches, two local examples being St. Mary’s at Sompting and St. Nicolas’ at Old Shoreham. Sussex has a remarkable history.

On Sussex Day, Thursday 16th June, at 7pm, the Duck Pond Sailors will be singing their way around the historic Sussex village of Slindon and Chris will be talking about the history and folklore of Sussex. All money raised will be shared between Ollys Future (www.ollysfuture.org.uk) and the Friends of the South Downs.

A branding for snobs!

o you know a brand snob? I bet you do. Maybe you are one yourself? Who knows? But let me tell you this; manufacturers and retailers have got you and I wrapped around their little fingers. Of course, this is nothing new and badge engineering has been going on forever. We tend to think of brand engineering as a relatively new phenomenon, linked to our fast-paced consumer led lives, but it’s just not the case. Indeed, preserved street food shop branding was found on previously submerged buildings in Pompeii, during a dig in 2020, having been previously covered by a volcanic eruption in 79AD. I mean, what have the Romans ever done for us?

Nowadays, a brand’s application, values, promotion and maybe even worship is a very sophisticated aﬀair…see Apple’s iPhone! Allow me to explain. I might even make the odd reference to sustainability, repair and the forthcoming

Jubilee, an odd combo I think you’ll agree. Am I worth it? A slight twist on a well recognised slogan there, but with a serious point. The well know French manufacturer of hair and skin care products that rhymes with ‘low-heal’ (sort of) sells high quality, well-engineered products at a premium price on the promise that said product will deliver benefits way above anyone else’s shampoo. And you can aﬀord it, because ‘you’re worth it’, quite possibly the best marketing slogan of all time? However, they’ve been taken to task around the world by various agencies for making over ambitious claims about their products, which are potentially misleading. It’s something we need to think about when seeing adverts featuring famous film stars, endorsing the latest eyelash enhancing widget that they claim we all need in our lives. They don’t do it for the love and it must be said that one can have the same beautiful shining locks using a bottle of shampoo from Lidl. Hang on Matt, what’s any A Branding for Snobs of this got to do with repair or sustainability, anyway. Good point. I must get back on track. But first…

Hands up; how many of you have bought a product on brand reputation alone? I have and I’m sure you have too, but have those purchases always lived up to the promises made on the packaging and propaganda that influenced our choices? Sometimes. Here’s the thing though, many items such as toasters, kettles, TVs, lawnmowers, clocks, laptops, cookers, washing machines and irons are either similar or identical inside. The makers mark, colour and name of the product may change on the outside, but the insides can be the same.

How do I know this? Well, I must have opened up 1,000s of products like this during repairs over the years, and have got to understand who really makes what. It’s really nothing new and

In other news, it’s the Queen’s Jubilee this year, and in case you didn’t know HRH is a big fan of the Land Rover, well, the Defender anyway. As a lifelong devotee to one of most reverered motors of all

time, maybe The Queen will be celebrating her time on the throne with a little bit of repair and maintenance by doing the odd oil change and tappet adjustment on her trustee motor. Incidentally, the Land Rover marque is much admired and carries much kudos, so much so that manufacturers literally copy Land Rover vehicles in China, where intellectual property rights may not carry as much weight, in order to sell their cars. And that’s just another example of a brand’s power on the mind. If you’ve read my articles before, then you’ll know that I’m a fan of good quality, simpler and supported repairable products. In general, it means that one doesn’t have to keep replacing things like toasters every couple of years – wasting energy and materials. However, in the interests of balance, some branded things are usually higher quality and perform better than the wannabes. Take a set of high-quality Bowers & Wilkins speakers or a Brompton folding bicycle, both good examples of, repairable items made to last a lifetime. They may seem expensive in the first place, but will give many years service, perform well and still hold their value, when you come to sell them on. Something to think about the next time you need to splash out. Globe-Americas fixitworkshop.co.uk ﬁxitworkshop.co.uk Twitter-square @fix_it_workshop @ﬁx_it_workshop

READER TIPS! Mark from Worthing got in touch to tell me about his Beko DSC64S tumble dryer repair shenanigans. His repair ethos came about as he couldn’t aﬀord to replace machines when they failed eventually. The 10-year-oldmachine has had a hard life, keeping all the busy family’s laundry dry in that time. Luckily, Beko supports their products well, and he was able to replace the drum support rollers and heater element twice. Mark tells me that he’s developed a great respect for it, aware of the years of daily abuse it’s suﬀered! Well done Mark. Have you got a repair story to share? We’d love to hear yours! As always, until the next time. Matt.

INSIDE The Real Repair Shop

manufacturers have been doing it, since er, Roman times. Always in the interests of good value, I want to make sure I and others are not paying too much, if one must buy something new. But how can you tell if two seemingly diﬀerent toasters are basically the same without taking them apart, one at say £99, the other at £39? It’s very tricky. By having your wits about you and an interest in detail, you can save cash. Pay attention to the position of the knobs, switches and dials and have a good look at the toasting slots especially. If they look more than similar, chances are they were at least made in the same factory. At the end of the production line, one had an expensive badge applied, the other had the cheaper relative. If the expensive one comes with a longer warranty, then it may be worth it, if it doesn’t well, that’s for you to decide.

Bed poverty in Worthing By Carl Walker, Sam Whittaker & Pat Schan

ed poverty is a situation where people, including children, do not have their own bed or access to appropriate bedding, such as duvets and pillows. We all know how we feel after even one poor night of sleep - anxious, irritable and unable to concentrate - so imagine how that feels when you have that night after night? Initial research by Worthing Food Foundation suggest that bed poverty is aﬀecting a number of families in our town. Formed two years ago from local mutual aid groups, the Worthing Food Foundation is a local volunteer-run charity that includes a foodbank providing emergency food, toiletries and support to over 300 Worthing residents per week. We also run a children’s cooking club and a school uniform exchange for families in need. Based on ‘housing-first’ principles, our work revolves around providing stability for the essentials of life for all in our community. The Worthing Food Foundation has recently undertaken work to understand the extent of hidden hunger in the town, in addition to exploring the extent of school uniform poverty. The Foundation’s attention is now

turning to understand what bed poverty looks like in Worthing. For over 10 years, national children’s charity Buttle UK has been providing beds to children for those families on low incomes and their most recent report from last year highlights that this situation is only worsening, with a rise of 25% since 2017. Research from End Furniture Poverty in 2021 – called No Place Like Home - discovered that only 2% of social tenancies are fully or partly furnished, leaving many without basic household furniture, including beds. Buttle UK suggests that nearly half a million children in this country are experiencing what is known as bed poverty. We already know that the pandemic has negatively impacted all of our children’s schooling and overall wellbeing, but research shows that this will be made worse for those not able to consistently get a good night’s sleep. The long-term health benefits of good quality sleep for all of us – both mental and physical – is essential for creating healthy communities in our town.Bed Poverty in Worthing Initial research undertaken by the Worthing Food Foundation in January of this year shows

that a number of households in our town are experiencing bed poverty. To understand how widespread an issue this is across the whole of Worthing, we are launching a quick online survey with the support of a Community Psychology Masters student from the University of Brighton. Sam has created an online survey and we are asking that as many people as possible across the town participates – whether you experience bed poverty or not. The more we can understand the extent of bed poverty across our town, the more we can do as a community to develop a townwide intervention to support our town’s children and those households experiencing sleep deprivation and bed poverty. We’d welcome and appreciate your help! The survey only takes a few minutes to complete and is completely anonymous. Please find the link here. https://bit.ly/3Pk1HGA Alternatively, you can contact Sam on S.Whittaker5@uni. brighton.ac.uk to understand more and to take part. Once we have all the data collected, we will share our findings with the town and suggest recommendations as to how we can tackle any bed poverty that exists. Thank you.

INSIDE Your Month A Headlong, Leeds Playhouse and The Old Vic coproduction, this show comes from an exceptional degree of talent. It will open at London’s historic Old Vic before a regional tour to Worthing’s Connaught Theatre on Tuesday 19 - Saturday 23 July 2022. Jitney is a ground-breaking modern classic from one of America’s greatest writers, August Wilson (Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom). It explores the fragile bond between eight men as they live, love and work in a racially segregated, post-Vietnam America. Their stories are brought to the stage by much-lauded Director, Tinuke Craig, whose past work includes The Colour Purple, Vassa, I Call My Brothers and even Cinderella, the pantomime at the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre. ‘It don’t always turn out like you think it is. You don’t always have the kind of life that you dream about. You know what I mean?’ Jim Becker and his unlicensed drivers take the people of Pittsburgh Hill District where regular taxi cabs won’t. While they work, these eight men are healing old wounds and tearing new ones, passing time in a condemned taxi rank between pick-ups. Wilson’s potent social commentary, paired with Craig’s clever staging, creates a searing live theatre experience which is as relevant today as it was when first published in 1982. Following its premiere at Leeds Playhouse, this critically acclaimed production has its London premiere at The Old Vic in June 2022. WTM is pleased to bring such commended work to the local Worthing community, presenting the best of London’s theatre to West Sussex. ★★★★★ ‘Rich, poignant drama impeccably staged’ - The Telegraph ★★★★ ‘Utterly believable’ - The Guardian ★★★★ ‘A powerful, intense study of characters tackling problems caused by class, race and generational divide...deserves to be seen by as wide an audience as possible’ - The Stage ★★★★ ‘Pin-sharp performances drive this August Wilson revival’ - The Times

22 www.insidemagazines.community

Director Tinuke Craig said: “This remarkable play, the first written of August Wilson’s Pittsburgh Cycle, hasn’t been seen in London for over 20 years but remains as relevant as ever. It is a play I’ve loved for many years which explores the themes of love, loss and community through the lens of the Black experience. It’s a dream come true to be able to direct it.” Joining the cast is Nnabiko Ejimofor as Shealy, Solomon Israel as Youngblood, Dayo Koleosho as Philmore and Sule Rimi as Turbo. They join the previously announced Geoﬀ Aymer as Doub, Leanne Henlon as Rena, Wil Johnson as Becker, Leemore Marrett Jr. as Booster, and Tony Marshall as Fielding. Lindon Alexander, Lincoln Conway, Blair Gyabaah and Yolanda Ovide are the understudies. Headlong Theatre is a company with a big imagination, and interrogates the contemporary world through a programme of fearless new writing, reimagined classics and 20th-century plays. By positioning the next generation of theatre makers alongside artists of international standing, the company ensures that it consistently creates work that is bold and original. WTM is glad to welcome Headlong to Worthing and champion high-calibre national theatre. Jitney is being performed at the Connaught Theatre from Tuesday 19 - Saturday 23 July 2022. Tickets are available from £10. For more information on this or any of the events, visit www.wtam.uk or call the WTM Box Oﬃce on 01903 206 206.

n May we held a “free flow evening” which involved members and visitors visiting various tables to find out about the clubs and activities that go on in Worthing WI. We are lucky to have many members who give up their time to run a wide range of groups. The Eco Group was formed to enable members to learn more about what we can do to help the planet. Across the UK the WI has climate ambassadors to raise awareness, lobby MPs and engage people with climate change. The first environmental resolution put forward by the WI was in 1927, asking Stanley Baldwin’s government to prevent oil pollution aﬀecting seabirds and fish. There have been many environmental campaigns since then, most recently, the WI was co-founder of The Climate Coalition. Some people say ‘I can’t do anything about climate change, it’s too big’ but it’s about everybody taking small steps. For example, members in our WI were encouraged to use Eco Eggs in washing machines to prevent detergents from entering our waterways. We were shown how to make knitted dishcloths to cut down on the use of throwaway cloths. We learnt

more about what can and can’t go into the recycling bin and an App that allows you to cut food waste by collecting food that would otherwise go to waste (toogoodtogo.co.uk). We learnt about toilet rolls made from bamboo and packaged in paper and recently had a workshop to make beeswax food wraps. Our premise is reduce, reuse, recycle. If we all try to do this, then collectively we will make a diﬀerence. Here is our pattern for Knitted cotton dishcloths. Cast on 4 stitches K4 * k2 yo k to end * continue this row until you have 40 stitches ** k1 k2tog yo k2tog k to end ** continue until there are 4 stitches Cast oﬀ Other groups include Book Clubs which meet monthly, the Cookery Group where we share recipes and recommend products and the Museum Group which is a new group to encourage regular visits to Worthing Museum. Thursday is late night opening so hopefully this will include some of our working ladies.

The Gardening Group swaps plants, seeds and seedlings, visits to gardens and sharing information. The Stiﬀ Nipples Sea Swimmers is a small group of WI women who enjoy venturing into the sea oﬀ Worthing to bob around, chat and sometimes even swim. The Walking Group walks once a month generally between 3-5 miles in length. There is always a refreshment stop. The Craft Group meets once a month and members have tried their hand at various crafts including card making, crochet and wreath making to name a few. We have thriving Lunch and Supper Clubs. Supper club meets 6 times a year with the aim of trying out new restaurants in Worthing on an ‘around the world’ theme. Lastly, we were introduced to Mexican Train Dominoes, a fun game which not many people know about and is similar to traditional dominoes. The plan is to set up a new group to meet and play. So as you can see, the WI is a thriving, active community of ladies who share common or new interests and experiences.
