Special Families East Grinstead Special Families East Grinstead was the brainchild of Emma Bashford, a local mum who was disappointed by the lack of local provision for families with children with additional needs.

A

By Rachel Whitlam

fter talking over ideas with friend Emma Martin-Dale, they set up a Facebook page. The group formally started in April 2014, and they invited everyone they could think of to join and to start with, there were around 15 members.

“I wanted to set the group up because of the lack of anything in the area for parents of children with disabilities and additional needs, or for the children themselves. I was feeling frustrated that I had to go out of my own town to find parent support groups and coffee mornings for myself and also any sort of activities for my daughter, Amy, who is ten.’

“Amy has autism and a severe learning disability and needs a high level of support to access activities and struggles to access any clubs that are not specifically for children with additional needs.

I met with a lady called Holly Prescott who was then Sports Development Manager for three leisure centres including the Kings Centre in East Grinstead.’

“I explained about the lack of activities for children with additional needs and said I was thinking of starting a group. She said if I thought I could get about ten families to come along then she could run a few one-off activity sessions. From the outset, they were well attended, and a success and so became a regular ‘Stay and Play’ session for the family.’

6

www.rhuncovered.co.uk

“They are now held on the last Sunday of the month between 1.00 - 3.00pm and are usually attended by up to 60 people. Holly has moved on to a different job but is still very much a part of Special Families and is now our trampoline coach in addition to her full-time job.”

The aim of the group is to provide peer-to-peer support and social opportunities for families, working in partnership with other organisations to promote and facilitate local special needs events including parent workshops.

Supportive cinema screenings are held at Scott Cinema and a monthly coffee morning, usually with a guest speaker, at The Lodge Coffee Shop at The Chequer Mead with occasional social evening events for parents and Emma is keen to point out the benefits for everyone in the family.

“Our events for the whole family such as at Kings mean that children can play in a supportive and non-judgemental environment. It’s great for the siblings as well because they get to meet other children who have a brother or sister with additional needs.”

RH Uncovered

As Special Families grew due to local demand, a community group with a small charities constitution was set up and started to seek funding. So far there have been generous donations from Waitrose, The East Grinstead Lions and a West Sussex Community Initiative Fund Grant.

Emma, said: “One of the lovely things that the group has achieved is bringing people together who would not have otherwise met each other.

It helps when parents realise that they are not alone.”

If you want to join Special Families they welcome families from across East Grinstead and surrounding villages whose children have a disability or additional needs. There is a public Facebook page which has details of events as well as a closed group for parents and carers.

The group welcome any offers of help, financial or otherwise so if you feel you are able to support them, visit: www.specialfamilieseastgrinstead.org.uk or, email: specialfamilieseastgrinstead@gmail.com

Crawley’s answer to Bridget Jones –

Adam’s Bachelor Rules

Meet Adam, a divorcee in his early forties who did not expect to be single and finds he no longer knows the rules of dating.

M

eeting a number of unsuitable women Adam draws up rules that he hopes will improve his chance of finding the right partner but they are also designed to stop him from getting into challenging situations.

The rules are based on his experience and philosophical logic, which Adam believes are more pragmatic than simple emotion and impulse. Will his head rule his heart as he rejoins the dating roller coaster?

Adam Bachelor is the creation of Crawley writer, Nelson Brooks - a writer of poetry and short stories for more than 20 years, Rules for a Born Again Bachelor is his first novel.

Drawing on his experience of living and working in the City of London to write this male-take on the Bridget Jones Nelson Brooks, the pen name for author Dave Brooks explains how he arrived at this novel.

“I have been writing poetry for more than 20 years and a member of the National Poetry Society for the last eight.

Although I had been drawn to poetry first, over the last few years, through both work and spare time activities I have produced an increasing amount of prose.’

“I have lived in Crawley for over twenty years and I am a huge fan of the town,

By Rachel Whitlam the facilities and the beautiful countryside of West Sussex, some of which has inspired competition winning poetry” Dave says.

The idea was born five-yearsago when he was asked to produce the first two chapters of a novel for a part-time English and History degree.

A year later he produced a draft of Rules for a born-again bachelor.

Dave said: “Starting out as a novelist is about juggling a life and a day job until some form of income starts to flow. Train seats and tables willing, I have done a lot of my writing on the train over time. I am looking at more innovative ways to expand my readership. I tried a tie up with a football club mentioned in the book for instance.”

Not keen to rest on his laurels, after completing several part-time degrees and publishing his first novel, in addition to his full-time job Dave can be found blogging on information security through story telling on www.theanalogiesproject.org and also about horse racing on www.hoofing-it.com,

RH Uncovered

which is an attempt to visit every horse race track in the UK and Ireland over 5 years.

He is currently at 21 out of 90!

“My second novel is written and currently being edited. It is not a sequel, but rather a murder and is entitled “The Perry Gene”. My intention is to write one book a year going forward (plans are already in place for some) and use the rest of my time on poetry and short stories.”

His biggest supporters and harshest critics are his wife and three children, who, he claims to challenge his every written word, which is exactly what every writer needs.

COVER STORY

Flatley’s legendary Lord of the Dance comes to Brighton Following the phenomenal success of its 2015 UK tour, Michael Flatley’s Lord of the Dance: Dangerous Games show is returning to the Brighton Centre next month to wow the crowds!

By Jacob White

R

unning from Friday, February 10 – Sunday, February 12 Lord of the Dance: Dangerous Games continues to thrill audiences around the world – recent venues include Brussels and Prague.

The stage show offers an intoxicating mix of dance and music that fuses the traditional with the contemporary in a classic tale that showcases an exceptionally talented young cast of performers.

Celebrating 20 years since the debut of the show Lord of the Dance, Flatley’s UK tour will present his protégés James Keegan, Morgan Comer and Matthew Smith in the role of the Lord of the Dance.

The show is produced, choreographed and directed by the Chicago-born Irish dance legend Michael Flatley who found huge fame across the UK and globally in the Irish dance show Riverdance.

In 1994 Flatley changed the art of Irish dance forever with

12

www.rhuncovered.co.uk

his breath-taking creation of Riverdance – a high energy take on a centuries-old cultural icon that would find fans as far afield as Australia.

The show first made the stage as an interval act at the Eurovision Song Contest being staged in Dublin almost 23-years-ago, but it soon proved popular enough to become a full-length show.

As well as Flatley, the show featured Irish dancing champion Jean Butler, going on to visit more than 450 venues worldwide and be seen by more than 25 million people and win numerous awards.

RH Uncovered

@RHUncovered

Flatley went on to create Lord of the Dance in Dublin in 1996, and it has since become synonymous with spectacular artistry and grand scale productions which mesmerise audiences in attendance.

With all the precision and thrills of the original, Lord of the Dance: Dangerous Games features new staging, cutting edge technology, new costumes, choreography and world champion acrobats.

Lord of the Dance: Dangerous Games premiered at the Palladium Theatre in London’s West End in 2014 before moving to the Dominion Theatre in 2015 as well as other UK venues.

 01342 718348

The show has now gone on to Broadway in New York, and it was in the theatre district that Flatley opened a section of the city’s famous 42nd Street Flatley Way in his and the show’s honour.

Flatley embarked on his final tour in 2016, before suitably for the man associated with all things Irish performing on stage one last time in Caesar’s Colosseum in Las Vegas on St Patrick’s Day last year.

Flatley’s plan to make Brighton rock will again be a truly visual display of upper body movement and edgy rhythm patterns – for 2017 the show features new elements for a new audience.

New music is composed by Gerard Fahy, combining the best of tradition with all the excitement of new music and 40 of the world’s most outstanding young performers all directed

by Michael Flatley.

Lord of the Dance: Dangerous Games is at The Brighton Centre from February 10 - 12 2017.

How does the accreditation help offer customers peace of mind?

“We’re experts in the secure storage and ultimate secure destruction. The ISO grading we’ve achieved is a global benchmark for quality and means we’re at the forefront of our industry and all destruction work we carry out for example is followed-up with a certificate of destruction.”

Five Ways to Jettison the January Blues January is a difficult month for many; it’s all about endurance after the fun and frolics of the festive season. All too often we can find ourselves short of money after the expense of gift-buying, the short and dark days take their toll on us, and it’s either back to work or back to a routine without partying.

By Jacob White

T

o help you jettison the January blues this year, we have five ways you can boost your well-being and change your mindset to enjoy the simple pleasures to help you through the first month of 2017.

Find comfort in your food Sounds odd, we’re told to avoid comfort food! However, it’s about the foods we choose. A bowl of porridge topped with fruit is perfect!

Porridge is warming and a source of slow-releasing energy with the oats providing a high fibre addition to your diet which can also help reduce cholesterol levels.

A January state of mind As well as comfort food think about foods which can boost your January state of mind.

Think chocolate! Yes, you might have gorged on chocolates throughout the Christmas and New Year period but now is the time to try some of the raw chocolates on the market which boost mood.

18

www.rhuncovered.co.uk

Get outside Fresh air and long walks are vital to a healthy lifestyle. By getting out, you can help stay fit and youthful. January might be colder than other months of the year but don’t be afraid to embrace the outside world just make sure you wrap up in your favourite winter coat, hat, scarf and gloves!

Enjoy the here and now Getting back into the swing of things can mean you neglect to take a break from it all.

Finding time to break out from the office or to spend time at your favourite coffee shop is

RH Uncovered

@RHUncovered

simple but effective. Try and appreciate the peace and calm and most of all find time to enjoy the silence!

Switch off noise!

Be a prince or princess of darkness All too often we associate January with negative themes.

One theme we should embrace is cosiness. This January try to enjoy the time of year for what it is, sit by a lit fire and get out those cute accessories which make the winter cosy and stylish together – knitted socks, blankets and candles.

7 Tips To Cut Your Energy Bills Do you fancy cutting the cost of your energy bills in 2017?

It’s amazing how just small changes can make a big difference!

Here are a magnificent seven simple tips to help you save money this year!

By Jacob White

B

enjamin Franklin, one of the Founding Fathers of the United States once said: “nothing is certain except death and taxes,” well, today we can easily include rising energy bills in that. With the new year upon us and I am sure one of the most popular resolutions for 2017 is saving money or at the very least budgeting what you do have better – we’ve got help at hand for cutting your energy bills!

Play a game of draughts It might sound simple (and it is!) but by stopping heat escaping through unwanted gaps around the house you can save money on your heating.

An easy fix is to use some draught-proofing strips around windows, door frames and loft hatches and draught excluders for the bottom of doors.

See the light!

If you replace just one standard bulb with an LED equivalent can save you around £7.50 a year according to moneyplus.com, multiply that by each bulb, annually that’s a great saving!

put in a full load. If you can’t fill a load, make sure you use the correct setting for small loads and when your clothes are washed hang them rather than using a tumble dryer.

Remember to switch off lights when they are not in use, for more information on bulbs, visit: www.which.co.uk/reviews/ light-bulbs/article/five-tips-forchoosing-the-right-light-bulb Don’t just standby!

By simply switching off your appliances rather than putting them on standby you can save up to £80 a year according to the Energy Saving Trust.

Avoid a heatwave Worryingly, more than half the money spent on fuel bills goes towards providing heating and hot water – by turning down your thermostat by just one degree can save between £85 and £90 a year.

It all comes out in the wash A simple fix, make the switch from 60 degrees to 40!

Try washing your clothes at 40 degrees rather than 60, and when you do always

The heat of the kitchen Do you oven cook? Try to avoid opening the oven door when cooking, every time you open it the temperature drops by about 15°c.

However, an easy way to bring warmth to your home once you have cooked is to leave the door open to help heat the kitchen.

Change can do you good!

If you’ve been with your current energy supplier more than 12 months, there’s a strong possibility that you could save some money by switching supplier.

In the past it could take up to six weeks to move supplier but thanks to pressure from the regulator and government, it’s now a much speedier process.

Now, on average it takes up to 17 days which includes a ‘cooling off ’ period if you change your mind and according to research it can save you money! Visit: www.uswitch.com

Thinking of cutting your energy bill?

How about slashing it?

Did you know External Wall Insulation can reduce your home energy bill by up to 40%?

External Wall Insulation (EWI) has been around for years. On the continent our European neighbours have been using EWI for decades, as their harsh winters and balmy summers call for much more intelligent ways to keep their houses warm in winter and cool in summer.

What used to be thought as 'only for Grand Designs’ in the UK is now available throughout Sussex and the South East as Moon Tree Developments supply and install on almost any building.

EWI effectively wraps your house in an insulating blanket and can be finished to a number of different styles and renders.

EWI systems can save you up to 40% on your household energy bills and with the ever increasing fuel prices and a fluctuating climate, now is the time to plan ahead as installation is a lot more practical in summer.

Go to www.moon-tree.co.uk for a free guide or give Moon Tree Developments a call with any questions.

Plan ahead for next winter and save up to 40% on your household energy bills.

Download your free External Wall Insulation guide at www.moon-tree.co.uk or for more information get in touch: 07988632814 | info@moon-tree.co.uk

GARDENS

Feathered Friends

Looking after garden birds this winter For many of us, watching garden birds play in the winter morning’s dew is a cute sight but the romantic image doesn’t come without us playing our part to help our feathered friends out.

By Jacob White

N

atural food sources are in short supply, the weather is colder, and, with it being colder, they need extra food to keep their energy levels up to stay warm. This is where we can all help, by following a few simple tips – we will also be able to enjoy watching (happy) garden birds at play this winter.

Do Offer them a variety of food, especially fatty food high in protein, fat balls are a good choice – they can contain lard or beef suet giving our feather friends plenty of energy in the cold months.

These can be purchased from most garden centres or large stores or why not try making your own at home? This can be a fun activity that you can enjoy doing with your children or grandchildren.

However, do not use chicken, turkey or vegetable fat as these fats can be transferred onto the birds feathers during preening, clogging feathers and hindering flight.

Don’t Feed garden birds bread, especially white bread, it will not give them the energy they require to survive and it is likely to bloat them, making them feel full so they no longer look for quality food.

Avoid milk too, which can upset their tummies and make them ill as can mouldy or stale food. Salty food should be avoided as it can dehydrate and desiccated coconut can swell in birds’ stomachs.

Do Feed on a regular basis, birds rely on it – pick a time each day you will be free to top up those feeders, then your birds won’t waste precious energy visiting and hunting for food.

Don’t Use plastic net feeders, the plastic nets around fat balls for example, can be dangerous for birds - they can get tangled up.

Most garden centres offer wire cages at little cost to you.

Do Think about bird planting like us, birds look for shelter to keep themselves warm.

Evergreens are a good source of shelter and will offer them some comfort in the cold weather so think about shelter.

@RHUncovered

Don’t Let your bird bath freeze, birds can struggle to find water in winter as ponds and puddles may be frozen so by keeping your bird baths or a water bowl clean and frost free will really help them.
