Hillsborough’s No 1 Middlewood Road – TRADITIONAL VALUE AND A WEALTH OF EXPERIENCE RESULT IN 100 PER CENT CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. oving into a new home is one of the most exciting events in life and a good estate agent is vital to ensure your property completes at the best possible price – but with so many to choose from, selecting the people who can be trusted to act in your best interest can be nervewracking.

Originally opened as Goffs in Hillsborough in 1967, father-and-son team Stuart and Stephen Goff launched Hunters Estate Agents, Hillsborough in May last year.

With 48 Hunters Estate and Letting Agents branches in Yorkshire and Humber and over 200 throughout their national network, Hunters have access to a huge database of buyers, tenants and properties, providing everything you need to successfully rent or sell a house, or move into a new property.

Clients also benefit from the security of a large national chain, which is independently owned and operated, meaning the exceptional in-branch service is supported by Hunters Conveyancing, who can quickly and inexpensively execute the legal work.

While their longevity has equipped them with traditional values and a wealth of experience, by no means are they behind the times.

Stuart Goff F.N.A.E.A, MARLA, ACII and ACI Arb, is the owner of Hunters Hillsborough, Crookes and Woodseats, and is dedicated to providing a seamless service for buying, selling and letting.

One thing that must never be undervalued is experience and controlling the Hillsborough branch is Stuart’s son Stephen Goff, B.Sc (Hons.) MRICS, a degree in Urban Land Economics and is a Chartered Surveyor.

To ensure outstanding customer service from the most highly qualified, most experienced and extensively trained estate agency team, all staff are trained at the Hunters Training Academy – the only estate agency to provide courses which are recognised by City and Guilds and ILM. With the latest courses providing National Association of Estate Agents or Association of Residential Lettings Agents qualifications.

The lettings team – headed by Caroline Crabtree – comprises Bex Morley, Lewis Tattersall and Dan Henshaw, who combined have seen an increase in rentals of 50 per cent during 2016.

Many properties are fully managed but some are on a let-only basis, where the landlord manages the properties after Hunters

@SixerRMC

have found the tenant and carried out references, inventories and legal agreements.

Hunters Estate and Letting Agents put people first and understand that there is more to moving than just getting the best price for your property. With 100 per cent customer satisfaction from May 2016, clients would recommend Hunters Hillsborough when it comes to moving and selling.

The Hillsborough branch recently received another 5/5 star Google review from Mr Smith (names have been changed to maintain confidentiality).

“I recently bought a property through Hunters in Hillsborough and Amy there was amazing, she kept me updated at all times by phone and email, she was very efficient and thorough, always answering my queries promptly and professionally, and even though the move was not without problems, Amy made the whole process better. We would not hesitate to use Hunters in the future.”

TONY GIBB OF FULL GAS BIKES SAYS THE TOUR DE YORKSHIRE IS A MASSIVE EVENT TO LOOK FORWARD TO. ony Gibb was a professional cyclist for 15 years, winning world and national titles, and is now a commentator and presenter for Eurosport, as well as owner of Full Gas Bikes and Full Gas Cycling events. He says the Tour de Yorkshire is coming, and you’re probably not ready!

He said: “I was lucky enough to see the Tour de France in Yorkshire first-hand.

“I was hosting a hospitality event and when I was first asked to do it in March, one of the comments was: ‘we will book your hotel nearer the time’. I politely suggested they might want to get on that sooner rather than later!

“I’ve also been lucky enough to watch the tour’s final day in Paris on several occasions, sometimes just at the side of the road. I’ve worked on it in various guises and had a few cheeky VIP trips, so I have seen first-hand the sheer size of the operation.

“The Tour de Yorkshire is coming, and it

finishes on your doorstep, right outside our front door at Fox Valley. Don’t think this is going to be some watered-down version of the French race. Although only in its third year, this legacy event is a favourite of the pros. It’s one of the hardest short-stage races on the calendar and features the hardest climbs in Yorkshire – and most of them at that.

“A bike race is coming, what’s the big deal? Well, about 180 pro cyclists, 60 team cars, 20 coaches and mechanics’ trucks – do you want me to start on the event organisation, the press, the motorbike outriders, police, two helicopters, a plane? This event is going to be brilliant for Sheffield, Stocksbridge and the surrounding area. Oh, and I forgot to mention the sportive, the amateur support ride for all-comers, on the morning of the final stage – you can add another 5,000 riders, friends, family, cars…

“Are you getting a feel for the scale of this thing? Trust me, you haven’t seen anything yet.”

PREPARATIONS FOR THE FINAL STAGE OF THE TOUR DE YORKSHIRE – WHICH FINISHES AT FOX VALLEY – ARE WELL UNDER WAY. PHOEBE SEYMOUR LOOKS AT WHAT WE CAN EXPECT TO SEE. et on your bike, sport your team’s colours or simply turn up and celebrate. Tour de Yorkshire will be back on Sunday 30 April.

The 2017 Tour de Yorkshire, sponsored by Maserati, will offer a unique mix of Tour de France delivery, combined with Yorkshire hospitality and beautiful scenery, resulting in a dream day for cycle enthusiasts.

Taking place on the third and final day of the Tour de Yorkshire, stage three of the journey will start in Bradford and finish at the Fox Valley shopping centre in Stocksbridge.

Stage three will be a gruelling 194.5km and riders will be making their way up to Grassington via Ilkley, before heading back down through Skipton, Keighley, Halifax and Huddersfield, to the finish line at Fox Valley.

There will be eight challenging climbs including familiar local climbs Côte de Midhopestones and Côte de Deepcar. And if you’re a keen cyclist, you will have the chance to ride the same roads ahead of the pros, including crossing the finish line, as part of the Sportive Countdown.

Choose from a 45km, 75km or an ambitious 100km route, or take part in Cycletta – a 45km women’s only bike ride.

Run by Welcome to Yorkshire, Tour de Yorkshire’s other big sponsors include Dimension Data, Tissot, Le Coq Sportif, Mavic, Asda and Aunt Bessie’s.

Yorkshire Bank have also teamed up with Tour de Yorkshire to create Bike Libraries – a project that will see old and unwanted bikes that would have otherwise been thrown away or left to gather dust, donated repaired and loaned out to families free of charge.

It is their mission to make Yorkshire the first place where nobody, because of their circumstances, is deprived of a bike. If you have old bikes that you no longer use, donate them to one of Yorkshire’s 51 donation stations. To date, the project has provided more than 31,000 opportunities for young people to ride a bike.

There have already been 17 roadshows and as a result of huge demand, which has seen attendance figures surpass 1,000, Welcome to Yorkshire has announced two extra Tour de Yorkshire roadshows on the run up to the main event.

There are 13 more roadshows taking place all over the region between now and the end of March, with Whitby and Holmfirth being the newest additions to the calendar. Join the @SixerRMC

fun at Lofthouse, Sheffield’s closest roadshow event, which will be taking place on Thursday 23 March.

Welcome to Yorkshire is teaming up with local authorities to run the shows in towns and villages along the 2017 route and information is being shared to residents and businesses on how to get involved, build excitement and maximise the benefits of global media coverage between 28 and 30 April.

Details on road closures, the annual sportive and Welcome to Yorkshire’s various cycling legacy projects are all being discussed, along with ways people can become an official Tour Maker or take part in the popular Land Art competition.

So whether you are a budding pro or a casual cyclist, there’s plenty to look forward to at this year’s Tour de Yorkshire.

ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS ‘I CHANGED MY WHOLE LIFE WITH THE HELP OF G&M HEALTHCARE’, SAYS KERRY HARRIS WHO SHED AN AMAZING SEVEN STONE WITH THEIR HELP. f you had told me at the beginning of the year that 2016 would be the year I lost weight, I wouldn't have believed you.”

Kerry Harris had struggled with body and self-confidence issues for many years, often yo-yo dieting and attempting to lose weight but always going back to old habits. But when the strains of carrying the extra weight began to affect her family life, it became impossible to ignore.

“Before I started Alevere, I hated my body.

My weight was beginning to affect my confidence and was making me feel very unhappy in all aspects of my life. I stopped doing activities I loved, spending time with my children and avoided situations where I felt my weight would be judged.”

Stepping on the scales left Kerry feeling low, but it also gave her the determination she needed to tackle her weight problem head on.

“I hadn’t weighed myself for years. I imagined I would weigh about 13-14 stone, so when the scales told me I was 17st 6.5lbs I couldn’t believe it.

“I had seen advertisements for G&M Healthcare with Alevere and decided I was going to give it a try. I was so sceptical to begin with, since I had always been trying to lose weight - I remembered how exhausting it was trying to find the perfect diet plan or weight loss ‘trick’.”

Combining high quality, flavoursome foods and state of the art ultrasound technology, it was the maintenance stage of the Alevere programme that Kerry found most difficult.

But, under strict medial supervision, she soon realised how important it was to enabling her to manage her weight long term.

“The fast rate of weight loss kept me motivated and the therapy sessions gave me the support I needed to stay on track and help me understand more about my relationship with food.”

So far, Kerry has lost over seven stone and uses her own weight loss as a tool to spur herself on.

“As the weight came off, I could not believe how good I felt and how different I looked. I lost almost seven stone in 21 weeks and I feel amazing.

“Seeing the weight come off gave me

…and after

encouragement to keep going and I now feel that I know how to eat properly. The plan has taught me to think about what I am putting into my body.”

Like everyone, Kerry has hit the occasional rut but she says she tries to combat it by switching up her workout routine.

"My weight is no longer ruling my life.

Before, I let the weight define me and my boundaries. Now, I don't. I make the rules.

"I've learned to be patient about the rest of the weight loss," and she reminds others to do the same. "Instead of always being down on yourself for how much more you have to go, look back at all you've already done."

Kerry is such a convert to the goals and outcomes of the programme that she has now joined G & M Healthcare as a weight loss therapist, helping to motivate others along their weight loss journeys. @SixerRMC

“All the staff at the clinic were very caring and professional and I wanted to give something back to the programme. It has really helped me and I’m so grateful.

“It’s great to see others achieving their goals.”

G&M Healthcare is a GP-led clinic in Broomhill, Sheffield. The experts at G&M Healthcare are dedicated to helping people look their best and, with a series of complementary cosmetic treatments on offer, alongside Alevere, clients are truly spoilt for choice.

Services Guide 2017 ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT PROFESSIONAL SERVICES FOR HOMES IN THE NORTH SHEFFIELD AREA.

elcome to Sixer Services Guide 2017 – a complete guide to all of the local businesses you’ll need to help improve your home.

No matter how much we try, things can still go wrong. Whether it’s a broken boiler or something we’ve been meaning to sort for months such as tackling our overgrown gardens, it’s important that we nip these problems in the bud now, as the longer we leave them, the

W

worse and more expensive they can get.

Thankfully, there are a number of experts and fully-qualified professionals in north Sheffield who can help. From painters and decorators, to roofing specialists, there’s always someone who can provide practical solutions to help turn your house into a home.

Similarly, some gardening jobs can be far too big for one person and that’s where landscape gardeners and outdoor handymen (or women)

come in. Make your garden a more desirable place to sit this spring with some decking, or make good use of the space and clear the way for some new plants.

Have you heard the hues?

PANTONE’S COLOUR OF THE YEAR WILL HAVE EVERYONE GREEN WITH ENVY, WRITES PHOEBE SEYMOUR. very year, Pantone announces their official colour of the year, which jewellers, clothes designers and interior designers all set their watch to.

For 2017, they’re going back to nature with greenery – a fresh and zesty yellow-green shade that evokes the first days of spring when nature’s greens revive, restore and renew. And with spring well and truly upon us, these gorgeous green items will do just that.

House plants continue to be back in a big way this year, but if you’d rather not have the real thing, there are loads of leaf and cactusthemed accessories to choose from right now.

E

But of course, now is the time to get out and tackle the garden. So why not enjoy being practical and stylish with greenery gardening accessories? Once it’s time to relax after a hard day, these outdoor and indoor pieces of furniture in serene shades are just the thing.

And whoever said green was a cold colour, obviously never snuggled up with these cosy items. From a checkered blanket to a tea pot for two, there are still plenty of ways to enjoy the shade on colder spring days.

So don’t be green with envy. Add some of these accessories to your décor this season.

DEEPCAR HOME IMPROVEMENTS EST 1978

Ian Clancy at the start of his business career

In 1976 school-leaver Ian Clancy learned his trade at a local double-glazing company before making the leap two years later of going it alone.

A young enthusiastic worker Ian was described as ‘always first on site and last on site’. It wasn’t long before the hard-working Ian bought his first and current premises on Manchester Road in Deepcar, and set up his own window company Deepcar.

These premises are now home to a brand new showroom showing off the

latest range of products from tiled roof system conservatories to composite doors.

Early success was to follow when in 1983 Ian was named winner of Yorkshire Televisions ‘Young Enterprise - Businessman of the year’.

Ian still has the very first door made by Deepcar back in 1978. Still in perfect working order, the door sits proudly at the back of the showroom, illustrating Deepcar’s pride in their humble beginnings.

Ian beams “Our aim is the same today as it was back then - we will provide the best products and best customer service.”

He continues “In today’s busy world we pride ourselves in looking after you the customer and will offer the same level of service whether you are having a new conservatory or a lock fixed on your window.

Ian’s two young sons Tom and Joe, who show

the same hardworking and conscientious qualities to their father are now helping the successful window company build on the 36 years of trading.

After nearly four decades of providing unparalleled products and service, Deepcar invite you to view the latest in home improvements at their new showroom.

If its experience, quality and reliability you are looking for look no further than Deepcar.

The very first door made by Deepcar in 1978

TO PLAN OR NOT TO PLAN – IS DEATH NO LONGER A TABOO? s we move into 2017, it seems there is still a stigma surrounding death, funerals and severe illnesses. Do we talk about it? If so, how much do we discuss? What can we ask?

And when? Part of those wonderings is the increasing recognition that many of us want to start to plan ahead for life’s only inevitable expense.

Increasingly these days, it seems that every time we turn on the TV to catch the morning headlines, somebody somewhere has been killed or seriously injured. The newspapers love nothing more than to report on a natural disaster, plane crash or terrorist plot; so why then is it that we still see death as being something we can’t talk about?

Traditionally, death had a far more religious connotation that it does now and was seen, in many cultures, as the passing from one state to another (usually a better place) and, although it still remains very much at the forefront of our thoughts when loved ones pass, it seems that the religious element has declined over the last 30 or so years.

Perhaps this is because there is a “new generation” of folk who rarely (if ever) appear to visit a dedicated place of worship and seem to be more interested in achieving higher scores on the latest Candy Crush Saga than visualising spiritual paths to take. Interestingly though, this same generation are finely tuned into the part that modern technology plays in their day to day lives and they have become savvier consumers as a result: Discounted Insurances, better mortgage rates, cheaper items for sale and so on. This doesn’t end when funerals are in need of arranging, as this generation are often left with dealing with the funeral arrangements for their parents, and often without any real knowledge of what those loved ones really wanted.

Just five years ago, only five per cent of people would search online for a funeral director at the time of need. In 2017, it is expected that this figure will rise to almost 75 per cent, but what they are searching for may be of a surprise to some. The number one key word searched for when looking for a funeral director was “CHEAP”!!

The internet is now playing a pivotal role in breaking the ice when it comes to discussing death. Whilst the traditional and very private emotional experience of death remains exactly that – private – the process of dealing with loss and grieving has become a much more public affair. Death, like everything else in life, has become much more acceptable, much less private, more openly talked about and indeed much more commercialised.

This doesn’t mean you need to overpay when planning a funeral though, as independent, expert and fair advice can (and should) be sought on not only how to plan your funeral but also who to trust with your money. A starting point can often be something as simple as a cup of tea and a chat. In other words – get talking about it, plan it, and if appropriate pay for it at today’s prices. You will enjoy the greater peace of mind that will inevitably result.

Mountain biker Jake Monk in action AT Parkwood Springs

FOR YEARS IT WAS A BLOT ON THE LANDSCAPE, BUT NOW IT’S A CENTRAL PART OF MOVES TO MAKE SHEFFIELD A CENTRE FOR OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES. DAVID BOCKING VISITS THE UNIQUE COUNTRY PARK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CITY…

Parkwood rides again arkwood Springs used to be seen as a blot on the landscape,” said Sheffield Council community forest manager Tim Shortland, “but now it really is a country park in the centre of the city. To have a big green space where you can see out over the whole city is one of a kind in the country.”

The site was barren in the 1940s, said 79year-old lifetime resident Ray Swift. “But it was our playground. My dad put me a bike together to go over the jumps in the quarry, and further up towards Owlerton we’d climb pyramids of stones from the tips and jump in the buckets swinging over on cables fifty feet in the air to the power station.”

On a sunny January morning, a stream of more modern mountain bikers descended the bike trail which opened at Parkwood four years ago, watched by a film crew.

“As soon as the commercial side really cotton on to the massive potential here it’s going to be amazing for the city,” said video maker Ed Birch of Salt Street Productions.

A partnership of locals, the council, conservation groups and landfill operators Viridor has accelerated the changes at Parkwood, said Neill Schofield chair of Friends of Parkwood Springs.

“Ten years ago, this was not somewhere to spend a pleasant Saturday morning. There was antisocial behaviour, with cars being set alight. But now I think this is a key part of the Outdoor City.”

There are now two big ‘step changes’ on the horizon, said Neill.

Firstly, the derelict ski village site is being offered up by the council for new developers looking at ideas suitable for a country park involving fresh air, exercise and improving health. Snow sports, mountain biking or even rope swing activities might work, said Neill,

outdoor attraction which embodies Sheffield’s standing as The Outdoor City,” said Councillor Leigh Bramall, deputy leader of Sheffield City Council.

The second change follows the closure of the landfill site, with a long valley to the east of the site to be developed, perhaps over the next 18 months, for cyclists, walkers and people with pushchairs or wheelchairs to head north from Neepsend, with a series of ponds for wildlife and drainage. The Friends are pressing for this wide path to be extended through to Shirecliffe and Longley, replacing a right of way that’s too narrow and boggy for many potential visitors.

The Friends will continue their consultations as more of the landfill site is restored and handed back.

“It’s a lot better than when I was a kid,” said Ray Swift. “It’s wild and peaceful here, and we don’t want it too commercialised and turning into a circus. What we’re aiming for is a playground where we can all get along.”

LEAVING A LEGACY TO SHEFFIELD CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL WILL HELP A CHILD’S LIFE – IT REALLY IS A GIFT OF LIFE. heffield Children’s Hospital is one of four stand-alone specialist children’s hospitals in the UK and provides world-class care for children all over Yorkshire and beyond. The skill of staff and the courage of patients and their families helps to make it an incredible place – but at The Children’s Hospital Charity, we’ll never stop striving to make it better.

There are so many ways in which you can support the charity; one of the most significant ways you can help is leaving a gift in your will or create a will with Irwin Mitchell who will offer a discount when you quote The Children’s Hospital Charity, as well as make an instant donation to the charity.

For 17-year-old Ebony Taylor, an incredibly generous gift, left by Sheffield local Betty in her will, has made all the difference to her treatment. Ebony, from Doncaster, has been treated at the hospital for epilepsy since 2012 and needs regular scans to monitor the activity in her brain. She was the first patient to benefit from a fully digital intraoperative 3T MRI scanner, partially funded by a £845,273 donation made by Betty.

When Betty passed away she wanted to remember the hospital – a cause she had

S

championed all her life – in her estate. Her staggering once in a lifetime gift means that patients like Ebony will benefit from the most up to date technology possible and can get better in an environment designed with them in mind.

Every penny donated through a legacy really does make a difference. Legacies also help to fund up to £250,000 of research into the prevention and cure of childhood illnesses and disease every single year.

One of these projects developed a pioneering screening programme which detects rare life-threatening diseases in babies. Thanks to a successful pilot study leg by Sheffield Children’s Hospital, all new-born babies in England will be screened for four additional rare but serious conditions. The early detection and treatment of these conditions helps to give children the best possible start in life.

Leaving a legacy through your will could make a life-saving difference for the children in our care – it really is the gift of life.

To find out how to make a legacy donation or how you can create a discounted will through our partners Irwin Mitchell, contact support@tchc.org.uk.

“Ebony Taylor was the first patient to benefit from a fully digital intraoperative 3T MRI scanner, partially funded by a £845,273 donation made by Betty.”

LEAVE A LASTING LEGACY

A kind-hearted widow Betty, left a staggering once in a lifetime £845,273 to The Children’s Hospital Charity in her Will. Her legacy helped fund a £2.3million state-of-the art MRI scanner which will save children’s lives with neurological conditions for years to come. Any gift large or small really does make a difference.

The Plough If you are looking for a lovely country pub with good food and drink, the Plough Inn, Low Bradfield is the place to go.

At this traditional free house Ben and his team offer a warm welcome with an open log fire, a friendly atmosphere, a range of homecooked food and eight hand-pulled ales, including Bradfield Brewery and other guest ales. Food is served all day from 11.30am9pm Monday-Saturday and their very popular Sunday carvery is on offer from 11.30am, with a snack menu served alongside the carvery until 7pm.

The popular and authentic south-east Asian eatery was opened six years ago by Jariya Sancunakorn and has been chosen as our Best Oriental Restaurant for the last three years.

It’s not just the food or the service that make Patoo Thai stand out from the crowd, it’s the whole package including those allimportant little details that often get overlooked. For example, proprietor Jariya regularly travels to her home country bringing back not just ideas but the delightful hand-painted tea sets and crockery you’ll find in the restaurant.

Staying true to authentic Thai cuisine is what has been winning over customers.

Patoo Thai understand how important the finer details are – like importing herbs and vegetables from Thailand every week, and displaying fresh flowers on each table.

Wise up to the Wisewood!

GREAT FOOD, GREAT BEER AND A GREAT ATMOSPHERE – WHATEVER THE OCCASION. hether you are wanting to 'get away from it all' or are simply looking for somewhere superb to dine, The Wisewood Inn offers a distinctly different experience to your usual country pub.

The Wisewood’s cellar bar is the perfect venue for hosting weddings, birthdays and other celebrations. With room for 40 people, the function room has a fully integrated sound system, and a range of home cooked, locally sourced hot and cold buffet options are available, with prices starting at just £5 per head.

During the summer, the party can spill out onto the large beer garden and patio area.

With plenty of seating (some under cover) and a large lawn for the kids to play on, it’s an idyllic spot for celebrating in the sun. And with the inn now open from 12pm every day of the week, there’s no reason not to make the most out of the warmer weather.

The cellar bar is also home to the Wisewood’s music and live entertainment nights, which cover an eclectic mix of genres, with folk proving especially popular and holding a monthly residence. The pub also plays host to a quiz every Wednesday (9pm) and bingo every Sunday (8pm). As well as monthly curry nights and and upcoming Mexican Fiesta (23 March), featuring a special Mexican-themed menu and entertainment. Places are guaranteed to fill up fast, though, so don your sombreros and secure your place today.

Perched on the edge of the Loxley Valley, The Wisewood Inn is a popular spot with hungry walkers in search of a decent, homecooked meal, and the kitchen does not disappoint. Open until 9pm every day of the week, fresh ingredients are delivered daily

Leading cancer charity appeals for volunteers Step out on the Three Peaks Challenge and support St Luke’s Sheffield Wednesday striker Sam Winnall is urging fans to sign up for one of the year’s toughest walking challenges and support St Luke’s Hospice and the Sheffield Wednesday Community Foundation.

The Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge will raise money both for Sheffield’s only hospice and for the Sheffield Wednesday Community Foundation on 20 May. The Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge takes on the peaks of Pen-y-ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough, a 24-mile route that includes 5,200ft (1,585m) of ascent and which should be completed in just 12 hours.

Participants will need to pay a deposit of £30 and then guarantee to raise a further £300 each.

“We want Sheffield Wednesday fans to challenge themselves to walking 24 miles over the three peaks of Yorkshire,” said Sam. “It’s not an easy day but you will know that every step you take will be making a massive difference to the lives of St Luke’s patients and the organisations supported by the Sheffield Wednesday Community Foundation.”

For more information or to book a place, contact St Luke’s Corporate Fundraising Manager Jack Kidder on 0114 2357594 or email j.kidder@hospicesheffield.co.uk.

Fundraising manager, Rob Turner, said: “We really need volunteers that are able to give just two to four hours of their time on Sunday 9 April between 7am and 1pm. You will be helping us to give our runners the best possible experience to try to raise as much money as possible to allow us to support more people affected by cancer. Refreshments will be provided for volunteers.”

If you are free to help, please give Rob a call on 07545 419 725 or email rturner@macmillan.org.uk.

Partnership with Places for People Leisure raises thousands for the British Heart Foundation Places for People Leisure Centres in Sheffield have announced that their partnership with the British Heart Foundation (BHF) has raised a phenomenal £5,074 towards the fight for every heartbeat.

Around seven million people are currently living with cardiovascular disease in the UK and the funds raised by Places for People Leisure will help support the BHF’s research into preventing and treating these devastating conditions.

Staff and members at Graves Health and Sports Centre, Wisewood Sport Centre and Thorncliffe Health and Leisure Centre got involved by holding wear red events, raffles, and auctions and encouraged everyone to donate bags of stock to fill local BHF shops. Jo Strong, cardiac rehab instructor, also took on the Helsinki Marathon to raise funds.

Alex Greaves, contract manager at Places for People Leisure, said: “The BHF is

leading the fight against heart disease and we are so pleased to have raised so much money to support their vital work. I would like to take the opportunity to thank all of our employees, customers and suppliers in helping us make a real difference.”

Lauren Mallinson, partnerships manager at the BHF, added: “We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has helped make our partnership with Places for People Leisure such a success. Heart disease is an urgent problem. Too many lives are lost to heart and circulatory conditions each year, and the money raised from this partnership will play a crucial role in helping us find new ways to help keep more hearts beating.”

For more information or if your company would like to get involved with BHF in Sheffield, contact Lauren Mallinson, partnerships manager, on mallinsonl@bhf.org.uk or call 07714 069126.

MUSIC

ZRI

Hitting a high note TOP MUSICIANS HEAD FOR HIGH BRADFIELD’S ANNUAL CELEBRATION OF MUSIC. ulian Lloyd Webber, Nicola Benedetti, Tasmin Little, Jennifer Pike, Wihan Quartet, Emma Johnson MBE and John Lenehan are just some of the classical music superstars that have featured in the past editions of the Bradfield Festival of Music, held every June in the fairytale setting of St Nicholas' Church, High Bradfield.

The festival is not exclusively open to classical music royalty: throughout its history, the event has striven to celebrate both young and local musicians as well, working closely with Sheffield Music Hub and local ensembles, bands and soloists.

2017 will mark the 20th edition of the festival since its revival in 1998. Evidence from the Bradfield Parish archives shows that a music festival was held in the Parish Church on Whit Monday in 1813, 1825 and 1835.

Little did those festival organisers of 200 years ago know that a week-long festival would be happening in the same church today.

The 20th anniversary edition will start on Saturday 24 June 2017 and is set to be one of

J

the best yet. Highlights include The Academy of St Martin in the Fields Chamber Ensemble; Songsmiths featuring Elizabeth Watts; Nicky Spence, Christopher Ainslie and Audrey Hyland; the Escher String Quartet; Jacqui Dankworth with Charlie Wood; ZRI and Neil Taylor, organist and formerly director of music at Sheffield Cathedral, who will be in concert with Austonley Brass.

Many of the artists included in the programme are not seen at other venues in this area. The festival strives to remain unique, and to ensure that only top quality music features in the events.

The Bradfield Festival of Music is a registered charity and does not receive any national funding whatsoever, but does receive limited financial assistance from generous local business sponsors, local charities, and individual supporters. Donations are currently open – for more information on how to become a Festival Patron and information about the benefits this includes, please contact Keith Hoyland at bradfieldmusic@aol.com or on 0114 327 8393.

Organist Neil Taylor

Tickets for the 20th Anniversary Festival will go on sale in March, and can be booked by post, on the phone or in person at selected venues in Bradfield – please visit the website for more information: www.bradfieldfestivalofmusic.co.uk/tickets/ 80 Sixer | www.sixermagazine.co.uk

SUE POWERS, A PERSONAL TRAINER WITH 25 YEARS’ EXPERIENCE IN THE HEALTH AND FITNESS INDUSTRY, OFFERS ADVICE TO THOSE WHO REALLY WANT TO GET FIT. our health and fitness regime should NOT just be a new year’s resolution but a way of life... and this does not mean spending hours at the gym every day.

There are many other ways of improving your fitness and becoming healthier. Going to a gym a couple of times a week, or any other activity that elevates your heart rate, will of course have benefits.

The intensity of your exercise/activity depends on your individual health or fitness level. It is important to start gently and increase the intensity as you become fitter. This will help prevent injuries and encourage you to continue your exercise/activity programme.

I would recommend you focus on the three aspects of fitness:

Y

1. Stronger muscles (resistance training) 2. Stronger heart and lungs (cardiovascular exercise) 3. Flexibility (to move more freely)

Remember to use the highest blade setting to avoid cutting the grass too short which can attract unwanted weeds and moss.

Knowing how best to care for your lawn can be confusing but local lawn care specialist GreenThumb offers expert advice and tailored services to bring your lawn to life throughout the year.

Prices start from just £15.

Although exercise will burn more calories, if your goal is to lose weight you will need to look at your diet by consulting a professional nutritionist, who will work alongside you on your exercise/activity regime, and give you the best possible results.

Anyone wanting advice or a chat about how to achieve a happier, healthier 2017 can call Sue Powers on 0114 233 6756.

MOTORING

Sting in the tail Welcome everyone to the most powerful Kia ever made. Called the Kia Stinger, and developed at the Nürburgring Nordschleife, it’s a fastback four-door saloon meaning there’s the added practicality of numerous doors yet still attains the sporty profile of a coupe.

Very much inspired from the Kia GT concept for shown in 2011, the Stinger will certainly be one of the most eye-catching cars on the road.

There will be three engines available when the car goes on sale later in the year: a 252hp 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo petrol engine, a 265hp 3.3-litre turbo petrol unit and a 2.2-litre four-pot diesel producing 197hp.

All Stingers will come with an in-house eight-speed automatic transmission and they’ll be available in either rear-drive or all-wheel drive formats.

FROM SLEEK ‘SPORTBACKS’ TO URBAN CROSSOVERS, JORDAN CUTFORTH LOOKS AT WHAT’S HITTING THE ROADS THIS MONTH.

GREAT BUY FOR FAMILIES

Urban crossover Say hello to Vauxhall’s new SUV. It’s called the Crossland X and it’s going head-to-head with the likes of the Renault Captur and the Peugeot 2008.

Known as an ‘urban crossover’, its small yet box-like dimensions (16cm shorter than an Astra) mean that its not only easy to navigate in the city but it’s practical too. With the seats in place the Crossland X has 410-litre boot space and this can be adjusted up to 520-litres thanks to the rear seats being able to move forwards or backwards.

The Crossland X comes with a whole host of advanced technologies including a 180-degree panoramic rear-view camera, advanced park assist, forward collision alert with pedestrian detection, autonomous emergency braking, lane departure warning and speed sign recognition.

With a quality interior, bags of practicality, smart looks and excellent reliability with a reasonable price tag, the Hyundai i30 is a great buy for families wanting a good quality car to suit their everyday needs.

From 1 March, a new generation i30 will go on sale priced from £16,995. Standard equipment includes Lane Departure Warning System, Forward Collision Warning System, Lane Keep Assist, Autonomous Emergency Braking and Hill Start Assist Control featuring on all models. Standard technology and connectivity equipment also feature with all New Generation i30’s benefiting from DAB and Bluetooth regardless of trim level.

Powering the i30 is an all-new 1.4-litre 138hp petrol, a 118hp 1.0-litre three-cylinder petrol and a 108hp 1.6-litre diesel.

A six-speed manual and seven-speed DCT transmission are offered.

Back to work The Octavia is the family work-horse of the Skoda brand. It’s designed as the perfect vehicle to fulfil the needs of every family.

Now though, the Octavia has had a makeover and as from January there’s a brandnew Octavia to be had. The major difference of the new model is from the outside where the front end now features a distinctive new quad light layout. There’s new technology too with improved safety and assistance systems.

The new Octavia will be available in Hatch or spacey Estate form. Six engines will be available (three petrol, three diesel) and each can be specified with either a manual or automatic DSG gearbox and there are seven trim levels to choose from.

Prices start from £17,005 to £30,085. @SixerRMC
