Welcome to our March issue Welcome to the March issue of RH19. Our big news this month is that we went live with our new website on February 16th and we couldn’t be more proud. If you haven’t already, pop over and have a look - you can find us at www.rhuncovered.co.uk - you won’t be disappointed. The heart of RH magazines has always been dedicated to local services for local people. That message is at the heart of the website also. Local news, events and of course people in the community, will all be featured. You will also find exclusive deals and an extensive list of events in your area.

Back to this month’s magazine, East Grinstead in Bloom ask you to flex your green fingers and get involved. We learn about a new satellite food bank in Lingfield and Dormansland community centre. Our tourism officer Simon Kerr gets us out of hibernation and into East Grinstead.

We want to hear from you. Are you involved in a club, social group or charity organisation? Maybe there’s a person who you think deserves their story being told? Have you got an event coming up or a special anniversary? Whatever your story, we would love to hear from you.

With thanks to all our contributors, advertisers and of course you, our readers.

This year’s

East Grinstead in Bloom Project Springs to life

This month spring arrives in East Grinstead with the start of this year’s East Grinstead in Bloom projects! From the train station to Windmill Lane Community Garden, there’s so much to do – so for all those green-fingered amongst you, grab that trowel and get involved!

“March is the beginning of the season for East Grinstead in Bloom and we are busy planning our activities for the spring and summer including our local projects, front/back gardens competition and our annual entry into the prestigious South & South East in Bloom competition,” Samantha Baldery an In Bloom volunteer, says.

“We’re especially excited to start a new project at Windmill Lane Community Garden, where we hope to turn a piece of un-used grassy area on the main road into East Grinstead into an area of beauty and relaxation for the residents and public to enjoy,” Samantha explains.

“Once complete the public will enjoy new trees, seating and planting throughout the year!”

The team, made up of fifteen members and seventeen volunteers, are always on the look-out for like-minded residents to join in.

Samantha explains, you don’t need to be an expert gardener: “We are always looking for new members to join Bloom and look for people with a variety of skills. You don’t have to be a gardener to be involved as there are always other areas that need someone with specialist skills such as marketing, fundraising, sponsorship and finance, but we always need volunteers who are willing to get their hands dirty and make make that visible difference in the community.”

www.eastgrinsteadinbloom.org.uk

This year the team, who last year won nine titles in the South and South East in Bloom awards, will be taking on projects all around the town including at Compass Garden, Hurst Farm Pond, Millennium Garden, at the train station and a brand new challenge at Windmill Lane Community Garden, all to keep our town looking blooming beautiful!

‘Satellite’ Food Bank

Reaching Out

to Launch in Lingfield

to 2,500 Local Families

From 6th March, a new foodbank service will launch in Lingfield, after East Grinstead Foodbank saw an increase in local residents requiring their help.

Sussex-based charity, Reaching Families, which aims to provide helpful information, advice and support to local parent/carers, has helped an estimated 2,500 families since launching in 2008.

“Since opening in December 2012, the East Grinstead Foodbank team (based at the Jubilee Community Centre on Charlwoods Road) have noticed that a number of clients have visited us from the Lingfield and Blindley Heath area,” Jayne Crossman from the organisation explains. “For many this has caused extra hardship as they have had to rely on friends or family to provide transport or catch a bus, which they cannot afford. As a last resort some clients have even walked.”

The ‘satellite’ volunteer-led food service will be held at Lingfield & Dormansland Community Centre on 1st & 3rd Friday in the month, from 1.30 –2.30pm, starting from 6th March, with an aim to help residents in need of food.

“Over the past year we have seen an increasing number of people coming to East Grinstead foodbank as the recession continues to affect people’s lives,” Jayne continues. “Many have previously been just about coping financially, then something has happened to completely stop or dramatically reduce their income.

The reason for this income crisis can include a sudden loss of earnings, change in family circumstances or housing problems. For many people on low income the cold winter months can mean a choice has to be made between paying for heat OR putting food on the table.”

“Ran entirely by parents and carers, Reaching Families, exists to empower, care for and inform parents and families of children with special needs in West Sussex,” Michele Creed, Rural Outreach Worker for the charity explains. “We achieve this in a number of ways including; publishing an exhaustive guide to special needs for parent-carers, publishing factsheets on childhood disabilities and other issues, delivery of training workshops on a wide variety of subjects and delivery of counselling to parent-carers.”

The charity, which has benefitted so many local families, including those that attend Special Families East Grinstead, are now looking for more volunteer Outreach Workers to cope with local demand: “Please get in touch if you can spare 4-6 hours per month to visit local groups, distribute flyers and promote our information to parents in your local area,” Michele continues. “Induction and ongoing support will be given!”

For further information on Reaching Families or if you’d like help or advice on any aspect of caring for a child with special needs, please contact Michele on 07759 454 682 or emial at michele@reachingfamilies.org.uk or visit www.reachingfamiies.org.uk.

In order to access the scheme; a referral is needed and vouchers can be obtained from: St Piers Sure Start Centre, Lingfield Primary School, Lingfield Surgery, Affinity Sutton Housing, Tandridge District Council, Tandridge Locality, Parashoot/Raven Housing, Guinness Housing and East Grinstead CAB. www.eastgrinstead.foodbank.org.uk

Hello March!

Spring must really be on the way at long last.

Time to emerge from our hibernation and think about the warmer days ahead.

East Grinstead has a programme of outdoor events coming up through the year, and we’ll be telling you more about them in coming issues. But do please make a note in your diaries for one of the big days of celebration - we will be having a VE day event on Sunday 10th of May in the High Street.

There’s a full programme of entertainment with a big band, vintage vehicles, 40’s close-harmony singers and the street filled with tables and chairs so everyone can come and join in the fun. Before then though the first big outdoor event will be the Vintage Bus Running Day on Sunday April 12th. A brilliant way to celebrate getting out and about again!

Simon Kerr, Town Promotions Manger

24 Hour Horse Charity Needs Your Help!

Kilmarnock Horse Rescue, which has been caring for horses across Sussex and Surrey, for over 13 years is looking for a star prize donation for their fundraising event this month.

The volunteer-led charity, based at Kilmarnock Farm on Charlwood Road, Crawley currently cares for over thirty horses, but would love to be able to help more animals in need and can only do that with generous donations.

“We’re holding a fundraiser on 28th March from 8pm at the Royal Oak Pub in Ifield Green,” charity founder Carol Jackson explains. “The event will have lots of raffle prizes and be a great opportunity for a get together, but we really do need a star prize to auction on the day!”

“We know it’s a lot to ask, but if anyone would like to donate something a little bit special, we would really appreciate it… it would be raising muchneeded funds for a good cause!”

With monthly winter bills of £300, just for hay alone, the charity which also cares for and re-homes other animals such as pigs, sheep, guinea pigs and cats (to name just a few) needs to raise further funds to be able to continue their high-level of care.

“We have seen some awful cases of malnutrition and neglect, but if we can help an animal and save it, we will,” Carol, who lives on-site says. “We rely on donations to pay for necessities like hay, food and bedding, with all money going directly to the welfare of those in our care.”

If you’d like to donate a star prize or volunteer your time, please contact Carol on: 07743092023.

Adrenaline Enthusiasts Wanted!

Thrill-seekers are required for St Catherine’s Hospice next exciting fundraising challenge – a superherothemed abseil, taking place in Crawley next month.

The local hospice is asking you to unleash your inner superhero and take on a daredevil 100ft abseil at Superhero Headquarters, the Sandman Hotel, Tinsley Lane South, Crawley on Saturday 18 April, all to raise further funds for hospice care.

“Whether you descend on your own as a personal mission, with a group of friends or with work colleagues, you won’t need to make a quick escape when you reach the top and see the spectacular views,” Michaela Clements from St Catherine’s Hospice says. “All you’ll need is a good sense of balance and the ability to control your nerves; it’s not for the fainthearted!”

“Be your own Clark Kent or Wonder Woman; join in the fun and dress up as your favourite superhero. Think along the lines of Superman, Batman, The Hulk, and Catwoman be as creative as you like!”

10 - Community

Or, if you have your very own work A-Team, why not take on the exclusive corporate abseil on Friday 17th April? Sign up your team of four and if you recruit ten superheroes your CEO can abseil for FREE! One such superhero taking on the challenge is RH Uncovered Magazine director, Matthew Arnold. Swapping his usual suit and tie for a costume, Matthew, who lives in Crawley Down, can’t wait to show his support for our local hospice… even if it does mean him abseiling 100ft in Lycra.

“One of my goals for 2015 is to do more for our community and hopefully inspire our readers to do the same,” Matthew explains.

All those over the age of 13 can take part (although parental consent is required for those aged 18 and under), so what are you waiting for?

Grab your costume and become a hospice hero!

For more information please call Louise or Michaela on 01293 447364 or e-mail events@stch.org.uk.

Pictures from Matthew and Emma (our Community Projects Manager)‘s abseil will also be on Facebook and Twitter after the event, so don’t forget to pop on over and see how they got on!

“Abseiling for St Catherine’s, who cared for my partner’s father back in 2011, is just the first step... just watch this space!”

Registration costs £25pp and fundraising superheroes are asked to raise a heroic £150 each (minimum) in sponsorship.

This year Rockinghorse have again teamed up with Hamilton Studios to try and raise even more money.

Every year approximately 2,300 babies are delivered at the Princess Royal Hospital in Haywards Heath.

Rockinghorse's official SCBU (Special Care Baby Unit) fund helps provide better facilities for the hundreds of premature babies that are transferred there each year. Located on the 2nd floor of the hospital, SCBU is designed to look after babies who do not require intensive care post-delivery, but aren’t deemed wellenough to go home straight away.

This year Rockinghorse have again teamed up with Hamilton Studios to try and raise even more money.

Please call Hamilton Studios today on 01342 323066 for more information and to book your photo session.

For a minimum donation of just £30 to Rockinghorse via Hamilton Studios, the studio will give you a free photo shoot and one unframed 10”x 8” print from that shoot. The shoot can be of a new baby right up to a big multi generation portrait, or even just the family dog!

Let’s help raise some much needed funds and create some wonderful memories of your family at the same time. www.hamiltonstudios.com www.rockinghorse.org.uk

In 2013 Hamilton Studios in East Grinstead raised £1000 for the unit. This was the first donation ever made to the unit and has helped to buy some much needed new cots. The vital work of this amazing unit continues everyday and we need to raise even more money to give the new babies of Sussex the best care possible.

Lasting Powers of Attorney These are legal documents drawn up and registered with The Office of the Public Guardian to give another or others (Attorneys) the power to deal with your affairs and make decisions for you if you are unable to do this for yourself because you lack capacity.

There are two types: Property and financial affairs which can give your attorneys the ability to run your bank and savings accounts and make decisions about making or selling investments and selling property.

Health and Welfare which can give your attorneys the power to choose where you live, who visits you and the type of care you receive. This has a section on life sustaining treatments and whether you wish your attorneys or doctors to be the decision maker.

Anyone over the age of 18 can have them drawn up, as this is the only way to ensure the people you choose can deal with your affairs. People assume that a spouse or next of kin will automatically have this power but this is not the case. If they are not named as attorneys in an LPA, they have no say in your affairs.

It is assumed LPAs are for the elderly but someone may lack capacity short term due to an accident. During this time, nobody can deal with their affairs.

If you do not have LPAs in place once you lack capacity it is too late to draw them up and those closest to you would then need to apply to the Court of Protection to ask for permission to deal with your affairs.

The initial cost for this starts from £500 and in most cases will take more than six months for a decision. Normally the court decides to give these powers to a professional who will charge for their services.

Good Wills is a family run business that provide a friendly and efficient service to give you and your family the best advice and assistance when dealing with delicate matters, such as an LPA, in the comfort of your own home.

Bumpy ride this morning?

View blocked by dumped rubbish?

Potholes and fly tipping are just two of the street faults that can be reported via the website www.FixMyStreet.com, along with vandalism, graffiti, dog fouling and many other common community issues.

While most of us know that the council are responsible for fixing these things, we may not know which council, let alone which department in which council.

With FixMyStreet, all you have to do is locate the problem on a map, and select a category: the site then sends it off to the right place to get it fixed.

All reports are published on the site, as well as being sent to the council. Browsing your own postcode can be interesting, as you soon learn what the persistent problems are in your area, and whether or not they are being fixed.

There’s also the opportunity to discuss individual reports in the comments section.

FixMyStreet comes from the UK not-for-profit organisation mySociety, and is one of its longest-running and most-used services.

It is just one of several projects aimed at making it easier for citizens to get things changed in their own community.

So, next time you see something that needs fixing, be it a broken paving slab or a flickering streetlight, all you need to remember is FixMyStreet.com.

10 Tips for MOT tests Please wait for your vehicle to cool down before checking/changing anything that might be hot.

Headlights and indicators All of these must work properly, so check the headlights (main and dipped beam), sidelights, rear lights, hazard warning lights (ignition on and off ) and finally indicators. If you have clear lenses, the light emitted needs to clearly be orange.

Brake lights Get a friend/partner to check that the brake lights come on when you press the brake pedal. This has got to include any additional brake lights at the top of the rear screen or similar.

If you’ve got no-one handy, get the car close to a garage door or a window and look in the mirror – you should get a good idea.

Number plate Give this a wipe, it sounds silly but if it’s not legible it can fail.

Also, if you have a personalised plate, the spacing must comply.

Wheels and tyres A quick check for damage is a good start. The legal tread depth for tyres is 1.6mm as far as an MOT is concerned, but it’s good practice to get them changed when they are down to 3mm.

Windscreen If you’ve got any chips or cracks larger than 40mm in your windscreen, it will fail. This reduces to just 10mm if the damage is in front of the driver.

Windscreen wipers Check that the rubbers aren’t split or damaged and also check that they clear the screen.

Horn Give it a press, if it makes a noise, you’ll be fine.

Seats and Seatbelts All seats must be securely fitted, with the driver’s seat being able to adjust forwards and backwards. Pull out each seatbelt, checking for any damage to the material. Tug sharply on each belt to ensure it reacts as it should if you had to brake hard.

Screenwash Always top up your screenwash before going for an MOT – something as simple as a splash of water could end in a fail at some test centres.

Fuel and engine oil Make sure that the oil level is as it should be and also make sure it has enough fuel. A test centre could turn you away if either of these are low as it will mean that they are unable to carry out emissions testing.

The Power of Performance Classes

While many children may wish to take up dance, acting or music classes with the hope of becoming the next Beyoncé, Brad Pitt or Ed Sheeran; it’s believed that these fun, performance-based activities can actually boost a child’s other skills, including reading, listening and selfconfidence.

A variety of studies have shown that expressive arts classes also attribute to improving creativity, self-esteem and team-working skills; vital must-haves for on-going development.

However, with many schools running limited – or no – performance-based lessons, parents are placing importance on enrolling their children for creative extra-curricular activities; such as dance, drama, gymnastics and music.

Science & MathsTutor

“My child lacked confidence and found it hard to interact with others,” one local mum tells us. “While she was shy and a little overwhelmed by starting her ballet class, at first, she now can’t wait to go and see her new friends.

The improvement we’ve seen in her – not only with her communication, but also with attention and positive attitude, has definitely made a difference.”

Jill McGrogan from Bullfrog Productions, also agrees: “children come to us with little confidence and communication skills but I have seen these kids get up on stage during our productions smiling and singing and asking Mum and Dad; 'Can I do it again please?!’

They love being part of a group with the same interests and soon make many new friends.”

“Seeing young people blossom as they discover new-found confidence is wonderful. The performing arts definitely helps with their life skills and we have had numerous comments from parents and teachers about how they are more communicative, happy and outgoing since joining our group.”

With so many great local performance groups, available for your child to join, the hardest thing will be for them to choose just one!

What is hypnotherapy?

Hypnotherapy is a natural state of heightened awareness that occurs within all of us. It allows us to open our minds to beneficial suggestions and allows the client to use their imagination to make positive changes.

A brief way to describe a feeling similar to hypnosis is that moment you’ve been watching TV and not heard a word that’s been said, even though you’ve been staring straight at the screen.

Alternatively it’s the car journey where you wonder how you got to a certain place.

Your mind is on auto-pilot and must have been in control, otherwise there would probably have been an accident.

What can hypnotherapy help with?

• Agoraphobia • Anxiety • Blushing • Confidence Building • Depression • Fears and Phobias • Gambling • Guilt • Habits and Compulsions • IBS • Insecurity • Insomnia • Memory Recall • Nail biting • Nervousness • Obsessive Compulsive Disorder • Pain Control • Panic Attacks • Public Speaking • Smoking • Stress Management • Timidity • Trauma • Weight Problems • Worry To advertise call - 01293 824088

The true cost of a kitchen So you’re planning to fit a new kitchen.

But how do you ensure value for money?

Here’s the lowdown on where to start, what to look for and all the questions to ask.

By Katherine Sorrell.

Designing your kitchen Using an architect or interior designer is the most expensive option. Check whether they price per hour or for the job, and what’s included – from simple outline sketches, to detailed drawings, assistance with planning applications, specifying suppliers, appointing contractors and supervising the entire process. At the other end of the scale, you could design it yourself for free, as well as source all components such as units, worktops and appliances. Remember that this will mean managing the project every step of the way.

Many people go for the middle option of using their kitchen supplier’s design and installation service. If you’re asked to take your own measurements, be careful: even in a new-build, walls are not always true and the surfaces flat.

42 - Homes

Take at least three measurements at floor, work-surface and wall unit height, and work to the smallest width.

Alternatively, if you are using a mid-range or luxury kitchen supplier, you may be asked to pay a few hundred pounds for them to measure up and produce a set of drawings specific to your room.

Fit floor and wall finishes? What about final decorating, electrical work and other carpentry such as shelving? Who will fit worktops, sinks, taps, appliances and extras such as plate racks and knife holders? Is there a guarantee and aftersales service?

Checking for quality

Comparing prices

The main difference between buying an off-the-shelf kitchen from one of the What’s included when you buy a kitchen? budget suppliers and a pricier kitchen It varies widely, from a basic delivery from a mid-price or luxury supplier is that of flat-packed cupboards to an the former will give you machine-made all-encompassing service. units that come off a factory line, whereas the latter offer hand-built cupboards by When comparing prices, ensure that you know exactly what you’re buying – a cheap cabinet-makers. Machine-made units are not necessarily poor quality, though they option can cost considerably more if you end up paying for extra work. Ask the right will have “plant-on” doors that sit in front of the frame, rather than “in-frame” doors, questions. Will they dispose of existing fittings?

Doors

Hinges

Carcasses

Solid-wood doors with traditional mortise and tenon joints are often considered the highest quality. In-frame doors may expand and contract with the humidity (though the thicker they are, the less chance there is of this). A good supplier will offer an after-sales service to check their fitting after a few months.

Veneered doors are usually cheaper, and are considered easier to maintain. Check whether painted doors are machinesprayed, or painted by hand with a brush.

Poor hinges are usually made from thin metal and will wear so thin that the doors hang unevenly. While many people are happy with good quality Blum or Blumstyle hinges (concealed, adjustable and available in a variety of specifications), solid brass butts are better. Check whether hinges open through a complete 180 degree angle.

Top-of-the-range carcasses are made of solid wood. Next-level-down ones are usually made from plywood or MDF veneer, while cheaper ones are made from chipboard, sometimes with just hardboard backs.

Check the thickness of the chipboard – 18-20mm is a good guide.

Worktops Very cheap laminate worktops can burn, scratch and wear out quickly.

High-pressure laminates are more durable than low-pressure ones; check that the underside is sealed to prevent water damage from appliances beneath.

In a more luxurious kitchen package, you’ll be offered solid wood, granite, man-made solid surfaces (such as Corian) or even glass or concrete. They’re more expensive, but they will last longer and look better.

If you want your garden full of colour, interest, perfume and perhaps even tasty crops, there’s no doubt that the least expensive way to do it is to raise your plants from seed. But what can be done to ensure the results in the garden are just as impressive?

Start with a little self-restraint.

It’s all too easy to buy enough seed to fill a tennis court when you have an average-sized garden. Make a list of what you actually need and put a limit on how many un-planned purchases you’ll allow yourself.

Think about sharing. Each packet of seed often contains tens or even hundreds of seeds, so why not agree to swap a few with friends and relatives. This will not only save you money, but will also maximise the range of plants you can grow without increasing your outlay.

Don’t be tempted to sow too many seeds at one time. By sowing little and often you’ll maximise flower time of annual flowers and cropping time for vegetables and herbs. It also means that if the conditions are not right for germination on one occasion, all is not lost.

54 - Gardens

You may not need to buy what you want. Collect seed from your garden or from gardens of friends and neighbours, making sure that the plants are healthy and that they’re ready and ripe or they won’t germinate. Seeds labelled as ‘F1’ will produce flowers whose seeds will not ‘come true’, meaning that the offspring will not be the same as the original plant and will often be less productive. Try to harvest the seed when the plants and the weather are dry, remove any bits of plant debris and allow them to dry off naturally, not becoming too warm or cold. If you can’t sow the seeds immediately, make sure you store them, well labelled, in a cool, dry place.

A small heated or even un-heated propagator can help you reliably raise a far wider range of plants from seed. Choose one which is sturdily built and has proper ventilation in the clear plastic lid, otherwise seedlings may die on hot days. We stock some of the lovely UK-made Stewart propagators at www.pippagreenwood.com.

Seeds do best if not sown too closely, and by sowing thinly you’ll also save yourself time and money.

Wider spacing makes for less thinning out but if you do have to thin out a bit, remember that most seedlings will perform well if looked after properly.

Many herbaceous perennials can successfully be divided into several new plants. Indeed most herbaceous plants do better when occasionally divided as the plant does not become so congested and you can dispose of the grotty bits and plant the good sections into fresh soil.

Many plants are also easily propagated from cuttings, and over the next few weeks, you could get some great cuttings from summer favourites such as fuchsias for virtually no cost at all. They’ll be flowering later this year too.

Visit www.pippagreenwood.com and sign up for ‘Grow Your Own with Pippa Greenwood’ where you can choose from a fantastic selection of vegetables for planting AND receive an email each week telling you all you need to know to ensure great results – from just £29.

You can also sign up for Pippa’s newsletter and receive a free ebook on organic gardening, and buy Nemaslug and other garden products.
