Care in Your OWN Home Care Company Delight After Inspection! Well established care company Independent Living, based on Eaves Lane in Chorley, are celebrating after a recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) gave the service a “GOOD” rating. The regulator visited the premises in July and conducted a two day detailed inspection. This included scrutinising staff and customer files, and speaking to both staff and customers about how they found the service. They asked questions such as whether the service is safe, caring, responsive to customers’ needs and well led. Owner Mark Booker commented: “I am over the moon with the inspection result but we are a people business and the credit must go to our hardworking carers and office team who provide such a highly rated service. Policies, procedures and paperwork are onerous in care and I am grateful to the team for ensuring they remain up to date. Many of our customers suffer from illnesses such as memory loss, Parkinsons and strokes, so the job is never easy. I am proud of the whole team”. Independent Living was praised in relation to end of life care. Registered Manager Amanda Singleton said: “End of life care is difficult for some carers but our staff find this work rewarding and several families have been impressed with our support” The company’s customers also provided feedback, this included: “staff are caring and considerate”, “our life has completely changed since Independent Living have been involved” and “it’s a high class service, when you ring the office staff deal with everything”. Mark concluded: “Most of our customers are unwell and many are over the age of 80 yet they have taken the time to provide positive comments about the service and company – I feel humbled. We will continue to serve the people of Leyland, Chorley, Standish and Wrightington areas in the coming years to our very high standards.”

That Shrinking Feeling
Money Matters with Greg Heath of Derbyshire Booth Financial Management Milllions of Britons could see their savings shrink because they don’t know how to shield them from rising inflation. The findings are according to research which found more than a third (37%) of people aged 18-65+ are in the dark over ways to grow their savings enough to at least keep up with rising prices. There are a number of different factors that may create inflationary pressure in an economy. Rising commodity prices can have a major impact, particularly higher oil prices, as this translates into steeper petrol costs for consumers. INFLATIONARY PRESSURE - Stronger economic growth pushes up inflation too, as increasing demand for goods and services places pressure on supplies, which may in turn lead to companies raising their prices. The falling pound since Britain’s vote to leave the EU in June last year and the 2017 UK general election result is also contributing to higher inflation in the UK, as it makes the cost of importing goods from overseas more expensive. CONSUMER AWARENESS - Rising inflation is eating away at the nation’s savings, yet the reality is that many people don’t know how to fend it off. A gap in consumer awareness over how some can protect their savings from inflation could mean many people will see their wealth simply drain away. Over the long term, this could threaten to leave people financially worse off in retirement, especially when combined with ultra-low interest rates and stagnant wage growth. Of the 4,000 people surveyed by YouGov, more than a quarter (27%) said they believed property was the best way to outpace inflation. SPENDING POWER - More than one in ten (13%) people thought Cash ISAs could help them maintain their spending power – twice as many as those who said Stocks & Shares ISAs (7%). Just 4% of people said investing in the stock market could help outstrip inflation, while only 3% backed savings invested in a pension. In fact, although they come with greater investment risk, Stocks & Shares ISAs typically offer more protection against inflation than Cash ISAs. RAINY DAY - Cash ISAs are more appropriate to save money for a rainy day but are less suitable for long-term savings, such as for retirement. From this April, the amount people can now shelter tax-efficiently
in a Cash ISA has risen to £20,000 a year. With a bigger ISA pot to fill, the danger is that some people will leave more of their long-term savings stuck in cash where they will be eaten away by inflation. LIVING COSTS - Inflation is bad news for savers, as it erodes the purchasing power of your money. Low interest rates also don’t help, as this makes it even harder to find returns which keep pace with rising living costs. Higher inflation can also drive down the price of bonds. These become less attractive because you’re locked in at interest rates that may not keep up with the cost of living in years to come. BETTER PROTECTION - One option is index-linked gilts, which are government bonds whose interest payments and value at redemption are adjusted for inflation. However, if they are sold before their maturity date, their market value can fall as well as rise and so may be more or less than the redemption value paid at the end of their terms. Investing in equities can potentially provide better protection against inflation than deposit accounts or bonds that aren’t index-linked, because companies can raise prices to cover higher costs, which in theory should enable them to grow at the same rate as inflation over time. However, investing in equities carries a high risk of losses, and you must be prepared to accept that you could get back less than you put in and that the value of your investment may not keep up with inflation. Information is based on our current understanding of taxation legislation and regulations. Any levels and bases of, and reliefs from taxation are subject to change. The value of investments and income from them may go down. You may not get back the original amount invested. Stocks and shares ISA investments do not include the same security of capital that is afforded with a Cash ISA.

Driving Force with Knickerbrook Cars
CHORLEY used car specialists, Knickerbrook Cars, are helping to set the pace with a new ‘not for profit’ association which has been formed to serve the interests of all independent motor dealers, and their customers. A group of six motor dealers and an industry expert have formed the Independent Motor Dealers Association (IMDA) with a view to supporting and promoting best practice. Phil Weaver (pictured, right) and Ben Collier, business partners who set up Knickerbrook Cars around nine years ago, are delighted to be in at the outset of the IMDA. Phil explained: “We believe that independent dealers deserve the right to have an association to represent their interests. With the amount of change the industry has seen it has never been needed more than at present. “The IMDA will represent every member equally. One ‘voice’ will represent our member’s opinions and concerns at national and regional level, engaging with trade associations and ultimately the Government for the good of all. The association will also provide a reference point for best practice alongside everything that’s needed daily to run a successful and transparent motor dealership. “We’ve already received many offers of support and help from suppliers to set up and deliver cutting edge training and advice without the need to leave the workplace. At present, no association represents the independent motor dealer – the IMDA will provide independent
dealers with this much-needed platform.” The IMDA will also provide a buying co-operative with suppliers to offer discounts, value added services and products to members, and ultimately customers. The group have established a committee, a constitution and a mission statement with a full launch of the association expected very shortly. Phil added: “It’s all about like-minded, reputable independent non-franchise and franchise dealers working together, protecting and raising standards of customer care for the good of everyone. If we continue to stand alone, I believe the independent used car business has a short shelf life. Interest is spreading, already we have over 500 prospective members who have registered their interests in joining the IMDA through our landing page www.clickandjoin.co.uk.” The independent motor industry is changing for the better and through the IMDA, Chorley’s Knickerbrook Cars are in the driving seat. It’s good news all round!

All Star Success for Leyland Cricket Academy in 2017
The Leyland Cricket Academy is a respected and successful home for young cricketers in Leyland and surrounding areas in South Ribble. With over 100 juniors playing in 8 teams, we are one of the largest cricket academies in Lancashire, and in 2017 we were delighted to introduce our “All Stars” programme for boys and girls
aged from 5 to 8. We now cater from ages 5 to 17 with many juniors also playing in the four Leyland senior teams on Saturday afternoons in the summer. At the Presentation Evening in September there was much to celebrate at the end of another successful season. Our 32 All Stars were first to receive their certificates and medals, for successfully completing the “introduction to cricket” programme. The Under 10 team narrowly lost in their cup final, and the Under 11 team went through the season undefeated. The Academy is also proud that 26 girl members are fully integrated into all our teams, and play a major part in our success. This year a girls/ladies team was launched to provide an alternative pathway for female cricketers, and they swept the board in their first season,
winning the Lancashire Thunder league and cup double. The Under 13 girls team won their Thunder Cup and the Lady Taverners trophy. More girls are taking up cricket and we are delighted that one of our girl members, toured Barbados with the England Girls squad in September. To further encourage ladies cricket, Leyland hosted its first ever “Prosecco Softball Cricket” night in June with 15 teams of Six-a-side for ladies who had never played before. We have subsequently been informed that our Prosecco night was the most successful event of its kind, not only in Lancashire, but across the whole country. We are proud of our success on the field, but we also strive to uphold the very best values for which cricket is associated, besides providing healthy exercise, good coaching, and most of all a lot of “fun”!
We are particularly grateful for all local business support and for this year in particular, to Leyland Leader in supporting our All Stars programme. And we do not stop. Winter training starts in October and goes through to April 2018, when start all over again! (Phil Heaven)
