Fighting For My Area by Laura Pidcock MP This time last year, I was unbelievably proud to be elected as MP for North West Durham. What a year it has been! In that time, I have had literally thousands of conversations, met with community groups, held very regular surgeries across the constituency, met with organisations up and down North West Durham, held dozens of meetings and even taken Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, for egg and chips in Consett. The last year has been packed with campaigning, be it the battle to stop the suspension of the sixth form In Wolsingham, speaking up on behalf of the WASPI women in the constituency and for those suffering under the DWP regime, or for workers who are having their rights taken from them. I know I get some stick for it in the media, but I will never stop being vocal about these issues, and using the platform I have to highlight injustices, whether small and big. I fight for this area because I am immensely proud of it. It is a place of vast, beautiful countryside and fantastic communities where people work hard and look after each other. Every day, I speak to inspirational people who make North West Durham the wonderful place that it is.
But as a representative, it’s not just my job to talk about the positive things about the area, it also means highlighting when we are being sold short by this government. Industry is such a key part of our local history, and yet it has been decimated, without anything like adequate replacement. We have not seen proper investment for decades. The result of this lack of investment is stark inequality. In this constituency, nearly a quarter of children live in poverty and a third of people are paid below the Living Wage. But statistics aside, my surgeries and email inbox are enough to tell me that life in North West Durham is, for many people, a struggle. It’s clear that we don’t get our fair share, of investment, in terms of transport spending or school budgets. I try to speak in as many debates and ask as many questions as I can, in an effort to let the Government know what is going on up here, taking the issues of constituents and amplifying them in Parliament. That is the heart of what I and my office do. As I said when I first entered Parliament – the people of North West Durham are the real wealth creators. Tirelessly, people in this part of the world work hard and contribute to a better society, and
they deserve their fair share of the rewards. We all know what this constituency needs – proper investment, decent public Laura Pidcock MP services, a transport system that is affordable, regular and extensive, a jobs-first Brexit, and a social security system that doesn’t punish, but actually looks after people. This is what my constituents tell me all the time, and this is what I will continue to tell the Government, loud and clear. You may already be aware that I will be going on maternity leave this summer, but I can assure you that this will change very little about the way my office operates. I have extremely dedicated caseworkers and staff who will be able to help with any issues as usual, so please do not hesitate to get in touch over the coming months.

Burnhope Parish Council Update Hello everyone
I would like to thank the members for their continued trust in me, and in return thank them for their help and support over the previous year.
With reference to the restoration and grant funding, this would not have happened without the introduction of Friends of Burnhope War Memorial, Mid Durham Area Action Partnership and Durham County Council (DCC) Finance Department, great job everyone (a full list of involved parties was listed in the Heritage Edition of The Burnhope Wheel).
Thanks also, to Janet Box (re-elected vice chair) for her help and stand-in duties, also to Peter Hughes, Parish Clerk, who has had a traumatic year looking after his wife Margaret due to her failing health problems and Margaret’s untimely passing in May.
Easter Lights Our village Christmas tree appears to have taken root (this time) and is thriving and looked great with the lighting at Christmas time (amazingly the lights made a show at Easter as well, which wasn’t planned just a result of some technical glitches).
During the past year work within the Parish Council has been largely taken up with the completion of Burnhope War Memorial refurbishment.
What next? Over the next year I would like to suggest ideas to Members regarding replacement seating, flower tub displays and parish footpaths.
It’s taken just over three years to get to this point. I feel that the three years, along with a lot of grant aid, was well spent looking at the outcome. There are actually lots of people looking at the finished result (except the driver of a vehicle who reversed into it. But that’s now all in hand with our architect and Insurers).
Litter Other issues being monitored are problems with litter (the contents of those energy drinks must be very poor as whoever drinks them appears to be unable to have the energy to carry the empty cans to a litter bin).
At the Burnhope Parish Council meeting on Thursday 3rd May, I was re-elected by members as Chair for a further year.
Fly tipping continues in hot spot areas. Hopefully the installation of cameras by
DCC wardens will find the people responsible. I would also like to highlight the fact that fly tipping ALSO INCLUDES dropping waste Derek Coates over a fence/ wall from one property to another, whether it’s Council or Private property! Lighting of the Beacons As this year marks 100 year since the end of WW1, part of the celebrations will be the Lighting of the Beacons, Burnhope and Lanchester Parish Councils are working together and should have, (as work in progress) our shared Beacon to be sited permanently at the picnic area ready to be lit at 6pm Sunday 11th of November, more to follow on this. I hope everyone has a fantastic hot/ warm summer! Derek Coates - Chair of Burnhope Parish Council Email - derek.coates2@btinternet.com

Burnhope Park Methodist Chapel An Urgent Appeal To The People of Burnhope We would like to invite everyone to a meeting to discuss the future of our Burnhope Chapel. Although we are financially sound, a decision has been made outside of the village, that our Chapel will close. This is because they have a belief that the people of Burnhope are not interested in their Chapel. We would like to prove them wrong! We need only one or two new members to halt this process and avoid closure.
An Open Meeting is to be held on Sunday 2nd September 2018 at 3pm in the Chapel (Holmside Lane, Burnhope. Durham DH7 0DP) This is not a Service but an opportunity to come along and demonstrate your support for our Chapel.
Please help us fight its closure. When its gone, its gone.
Durham Miner’s Gala 2018 Saturday 14th July Would you like to march through the historic city of Durham with the Burnhope Banner at the Big Meeting this year? A bus has been organised to take those who are interested in our mining heritage so they can march with the procession.
How to book Contact Freda Dawson on 07812 173915. Tickets are ÂŁ6 return. All welcome.

A View From Burnhope Mast Burnhope Mast has been operating as a transmitting station since 1958 when the first test transmissions were started before the launch of Tyne Tees Television in January 1959. The Mast needs to be maintained, and every 12 years the cables are greased. When this took place recently, local resident, Colin Anderson, asked the technician if he could take some photos while he was up there. Here is the result! Can you see your house?

THE HAVEN SURGERY PRACTICE NEWS County Durham Young Carers Charter
Stoma Products
It is important that Young Carers are young people first and carers second. They have the same rights as all other children and young people and should have access to the same facilities, services and support that is available to other young people across the County. However, young people who are also carers have other needs, which we have pledged to support.
Patients on stoma products have previously received their stoma items through a third party delivery service.
We have received accreditation from County Durham Young Carers Charter and have pledged to support young carers in the following ways:
Any queries regarding ‘Stoma Ordering’ please contact the surgery.
• We will strive to recognise and identify young carers in the work
Care Navigation
• We have identified member of staff to lead on support for young
New ways for your local GP practice to help you get to the right support.
that we do. carers.
• We ensure that everything young people tell us about their caring responsibilities stays private and confidential unless we have their permission to share, they are unsafe or at risk of harm.
• We will commit to having young carers information readily available to our staff and service users.
• We have worked with The Bridge Young Carers Service to have a dedicated policy for young carers.
• We will continue to work with The Bridge Young Carers Service on these issues.
Investing in Young Children The Practice is currently involved in ‘Investing in Children’ which has extensive experience working with children and young people across a wide range of issues to identify what they consider to be important and to raise these issues with decision-makers. In addition to this, Investing in Children supports children and young people to work in partnership with decisionmakers, undertaking research, evaluations and reviews with a wider range of children and young people.
Stoma products can now be ordered through the practice ordering process with patient’s medication.
Across County Durham, all GP practices want to make sure their patients are seen quickly by the right healthcare professional. We know that when you are not feeling well you just want to feel better quickly. Throughout June and July, practice staff are receiving specialist training developed by clinicians, to help them provide you with information about choices you have to see an appropriate person for your healthcare needs. Sometimes a GP isn’t the best person to see. Within your GP practice for example a Practice Nurse (for matters including dressings, immunisations or ear syringes) or a Nurse Practitioner (who can examine, diagnose and prescribe) may be better. You could also be directed to a healthcare professional in the community such as a community pharmacist, optician or sexual health nurse.
Investing in Children is funded through a variety of sources for example contracts with Durham County Council and Local CCG's as well as grants from the Heritage Lottery, Awards for All and County Durham Community Foundations (to name a few).
So shortly, when you contact the practice, our receptionist staff may ask you a few questions to help navigate you to the best person to help you quickly. They won’t try to diagnose your problem, but you may need to tell them a little bit about why you are calling.
Young Person Patient Forum Group
Cancer Champion
Are you interested in finding out more about The Haven Surgery?
Currently in County Durham practices are involved in how can we promote awareness of cancer screening programmes and engage with people who do not initially take up their screening offer.
Would you like to influence the development of local services?
You don’t’ have to of course, the choice is yours and you can always still request to see your GP, but you may be able to be seen faster by someone who is able to provide the right care for you using ‘Care Navigation’ to help.
The Haven Surgery has a Patient Participation Group and are really keen to extend this to you, ‘The Young People’ in our Community, which allows patients the opportunity to discuss ideas and hear about future developments.
National cancer screening campaigns take place throughout the year across a range of media platforms. Local promotion – working with public health, GP surgeries, Macmillan, Cancer Research UK.
Meetings would be held on a quarterly basis, at the surgery.
The practice has access to promotional materials to ensure a consistent message is given to patients.
If you are interested in joining the group, or if you have any queries about the group, please contact Marion Punton, Office Manager on 01207 214707.
The Practice would like to encourage our patients to take part in these national Screening Programmes.

Self-Care Campaign
Free travel vaccinations
People have a key role in protecting their own health, choosing appropriate treatments and managing long-term conditions.
The following travel vaccinations are usually available free on the NHS:
Self-management is a term used to include all the actions taken by people to recognise, treat and manage their own health. Self-care is about keeping fit and healthy, understanding when you can look after yourself, when a pharmacist can help and when to get advice from your GP or another health professional:
• Hay Fever and Allergies, have you thought about buying what you need?
• For aches and pains, can you buy what you need? • For minor illnesses, have you thought about talking to your pharmacist and buying what you need? Prescribing readily available medication like antihistamines costs the NHS millions every year, adding unnecessary strain to local GPs and the NHS. Processing these prescriptions can cost 20 times the price of buying identical medication at your local pharmacy or supermarket. Before you call a GP, talk to your pharmacist. You don’t need an appointment and for most minor illnesses it’s faster and easier.
If you take care of the little things, your NHS can keep taking care of you.
Diabetic Foot Screening Clinics The above clinics are no longer being held at the surgery and patients will receive appointments to be seen in Foot Screening clinics in North Durham at the locations below:
• • • •
Chester le Street Community Hospital University Hospital North Durham Stanley Primary Care Centre Shotley Bridge Hospital
Travel Vaccinations If you're planning to travel outside the UK, you may need to be vaccinated against some of the serious diseases found in other parts of the world. Vaccinations are available to protect you against infections such as yellow fever, typhoid and hepatitis A. In the UK, the childhood vaccination programme protects you against a number of diseases, but doesn't cover most of the infectious diseases found overseas.
• • • •
diphtheria, polio and tetanus (combined booster) typhoid hepatitis A – including when combined with typhoid or hepatitis B cholera
These vaccines are usually free because they protect against diseases thought to represent the greatest risk to public health if they were brought into the country.
Private travel vaccinations You're likely to have to pay for travel vaccinations against:
• • • • • •
hepatitis B when not combined with hepatitis A Japanese encephalitis and tick-borne encephalitis meningitis vaccines rabies tuberculosis (TB) yellow fever
Yellow fever vaccines are only available from designated centres. The cost of travel vaccines will vary, but could be around £50 for each dose of a vaccine. It's worth considering this when budgeting for your trip.
Nurse Clinics Our Practice nursing staff are Claire Bradbury Practice Nurse and Susan Lightfoot Nursing Assistant. Patients please be aware when booking an appointment either by telephone or online to see a nurse that you have booked into the appropriate clinic appointment slot. For example ear syringing/smears can only be done by our Practice Nurse Claire Bradbury. If in any doubt please ring the surgery and the reception team will book your appointment in to the correct clinic.
Continuation of Vulnerable Adults Weekend Service The Frail and Elderly Weekend Service will continue until September 2018. This service offers GP intervention and assessments of vulnerable patients over the weekend.
Extended Hours Extended hour appointments are now only available from Tanfield View Medical Group in Stanley. Appointments are available on an evening for both surgeries from 6.30-8:30pm and Weekend Sessions are 9-1.30pm.
Where do I get my jabs?
Chapel Hut – Burnhope Friendship Club
You should get advice at least eight weeks before you're due to travel, as some jabs need to be given well in advance.
Burnhope Friendship Club meets on Tuesday afternoons between 1pm – 3pm at the Chapel Hut, and is for men and women of all ages.
First, phone or visit your GP or practice nurse to find out whether your existing UK jabs are up-to-date (they can tell from your notes). Your GP or practice nurse may also be able to give you general advice about travel vaccinations and travel health, such as protecting yourself from malaria. Your GP or practice nurse can give you a booster of your UK jabs if you need one. They may be able to give you the travel jabs you need, either free on the NHS or for a charge. Not all vaccinations are available free on the NHS, even if they're recommended for travel to a certain area.
All are welcome. There are various activities to take part in; games, crafts and just a friendly chat over a cuppa. If transport is required call Cyndy on 01207 529803 or Mary on 01207 521395

Rupert’s Reflection by Revd Rupert Kalus The cracks are how the light gets out
Jesus went among outcast, marginalised, ostracised men and women to let them know that the light of God was in them and could shine out of them too.
The cracks are how the light gets out. I’m thinking of a clay lamp I saw once in Romania. It was a jar really which had been turned into a makeshift lamp by an old lady who lived high up in one of the He didn’t make them perfect. They remained as flawed, broken, and villages in the mountains. In the darkness of the evening, the vulnerable as they had ever been; as flawed, broken and vulnerable as me candle flame flickered inside the jar in and you. the slight draft under the door. The cracks in the jar were jagged and uneven and the light they threw was somehow mysterious. The light that was thrown was warm too. It drove back the slight chill of oncoming night and lifted the spirits.
But he told them that they were loved by God; that the love of God shone in their hearts and could shine out of their lives.
And that’s the point, the light shone out of them in their brokenness and vulnerability. Indeed it was the The cracks were how the light got out recognition of their brokenness which and the light shone in the darkness and enabled the light to shine. Because the cracks are how the light gets out. the darkness did not overcome it.
And this is true for all of us. It is not our perfection which enables us to love, but our imperfection. The cracks are how the light gets out. It is the recognition of our common humanity which allows us to empathise with, and care for others. It is the experience of our own hurts, failures and worries that allow us to identify with those of others. Because the cracks are how the light gets out.
Revd Rupert Kalus
