WEYBRIDGE YOUTH CLUB ITY GEM REOPENS WEYBRIDGE COMMUN Longstanding and once vibrant Weybridge youth club is back in the hands of the local community and ready to open again on Friday 8th November to young people aged 13-17 living in the local area.

The club is fully kitted out and will be offering a wide range of activities such as pool, music, sports and a variety of other sessions guaranteed to bring interest and excitement to club nights. Open from 6.45pm – 8.45pm every Friday night at the cost of just £1.00 a week the club will also have a tuck shop providing soft drinks, healthy food and some favourite treats.

Surrey Clubs for Young People (SCYP) has been providing support to get the club open for business. However, SCYP is hoping to find more members of the local community to volunteer at the club; “Whilst we provide youth workers at the club and a safe place for young people to meet, we need volunteers to provide positive role models. If we want young people to become active and giving members of their communities, it is up to those communities to show them how.”

Says Joyce Quinell, SCYP Chief Officer.

Club organisers hope that the club can reengage with the wider community whist providing a place for young people to chill out with friends and have access to exciting and challenging opportunities that will support them to develop into active and confident young adults.

SCYP provides friendly and engaging volunteer training through a supported process and welcomes the opportunity to chat with people who may want to volunteer.

They can do this by getting in touch with Matthew, on 07899 727 080 or by email at volunteering@scyp.co.uk.

Gardening with Auntie Planty COMBATTING THE SULK FOR CHRISTMAS

If you’re thinking of decorating your house this year with the fabulous poinsettia, here are a few things to remember to prevent the plant from sulking and dropping its leaves well before Christmas The poinsettia (Euphorbia pulcherrima) is also called the Mexican flame leaf, and if you give this colourful plant the care that it demands, it’ll remain looking great long beyond Christmas.

Possibly the most important piece of advice I can give you is, before you leave the shop, make sure that you protect the plant well. A howling gale in the car park, or a blast of cold air as you step outside, will guarantee that the plant will be in a grouch long before you get it home. Take a cardboard box or a large roomy bag with you to transport your poinsettia home. Or, insist that the plant is well wrapped up before you venture outside.

Choose its position very carefully. It’ll need at least six hours of indirect sunlight each day, to ensure it retains those brightly coloured bracts - they’re not flowers -those are little buds in the centre of the plant. If direct sun cannot be avoided, then you should diffuse the light with a shade or a sheer curtain.

Try and maintain an even room heat of around 20 deg C (68 F) and make sure that the plant is not sitting in a howling draught.

Wait until the compost feels almost dry before watering.

Misting the leaves frequently will be appreciated,

10 Looklocal Magazine -December 2019

especially if the plant is in a centrally heated room.

And do take care when handling the plant as the sap can give you a skin rash.

There’s a way to get your poinsettia to produce it colour for next Christmas, but be warned it’s quite fiddly. The first principle is to understand that the poinsettia is a short day plant, and it’s only when the daylight falls below 12 hours that it will even start thinking about producing those coloured bracts and clusters of flowers.

In March, cut the plant back to around half and keep it well fed and watered until September. Here’s where the fun begins. You’ll need to provide it with complete blackout - I suggest into a cardboard box with a cover and a find a space in the cupboard under the stairs.

Every day for the next eight to ten weeks, dutifully place the plant in its blackout state for at least 16 hours a day, bringing it out into the daylight for the remaining eight. By the beginning of December, you can release it for 24 hour brilliance fingers crossed!

MAKING YOUR MONEY

WORK HARDER. Elaine & Keith Jones run the Weybridge office of TaxAssist Accountants. Each issue, Elaine provides advice on recent change in tax law, or addresses a topical financial issue.

Can I pay my tax bill through my PAYE tax code?

Q. A.

I am employed but I have some selfemployed income on which I pay tax. How do I get my self-assessment tax collected through my PAYE tax code?

To have your self-assessment tax collected through your PAYE tax code the following need to apply: · You must owe less than £3,000 on your tax

bill · You must already pay tax through PAYE, e.g. you are an employee or you receive a company pension You are not able to have your tax bill paid through your PAYE tax code if the following apply: · You do not have enough PAYE income for the tax to be collected · You would be paying more than 50% of your PAYE income in tax · You would end up paying more than twice as much tax as you normally do In order to get your tax coded out you will need to have your paper tax return submitted by 31st October or your online tax return submitted by 30th December following the end of the tax year.

What is an overdrawn directors loan account?

Q. A.

I have an overdrawn directors loan account, what are the consequences of this?

If you have an overdrawn loan account at the period end, S455 tax may be due depending on when it is repaid.

S455 tax is just a tax charge that is charged at a rate of 32.5% of the outstanding loan at the period end. It is payable by the company and is due to be paid alongside the corporation tax payment – nine months and one day after the end of the accounting period.

If the loan is repaid within nine months of the period end no S455 tax charge will apply.

If the loan is still outstanding nine months after the period end S455 tax is due. This tax can only be claimed nine months and one day after the end of the accounting period in which the loan is repaid.

There could also be income tax and national insurance complications for both you and your company if the loan balance is greater than £10,000 as this will need to be reported on a P11D if interest is not paid to the company at HMRC’s official rate which is currently 2.5%.

The company will pay Class 1A NIC at 13.8% on the value of the benefit and the benefit will need to be included on your Self-Assessment tax return.

Please note that S455 tax is due on whatever the overdrawn balance is if it remains unpaid nine months after the period end and is not restricted to loans over £10,000.

©RHS. Credit Line RHS, Joanna Kossak (KOT8627)

RHS Garden Wisley transforms into a winter wonderland once more this festive season with its Glow 2019 light spectacular, returning from 7 December 2019 to 5 January 2020.

Visitors will become enchanted by giant botanicalinspired illuminations as they follow the twinkling trail around the Garden. Now in its fifth year, the trail will take in a brand new route starting at the newly opened Welcome building. The light trail will then guide visitors through the seasons with colour themes and well-known favourites to discover, such as daffodils in spring, gladioli in summer, leaves in autumn and hellebores in winter. Some of Wisley’s iconic trees will also be illuminated along the route to showcase their beauty and form in a new light.

A must-see along the paved route is the magnificent Glasshouse that will radiate vibrant colours. Step inside to discover the Enchanted Botanical Christmas

“When I knew we were going to be resettled in the UK I felt like I could relax for the first time. My daughters would have a future and be safe.”

The global refugee crisis is the most significant humanitarian crisis of our generation. More than 65.3 million people are displaced worldwide. Millions of these refugees are Syrian families, forced to flee their homes during 8 years of war. Many end up in refugee camps with little hope for their families’ future.

Abdul lived in a refugee camp in Jordan with his family before being resettled to the UK last year. “We had quite a few problems in Jordan,” he explains. “It was hard to have a life there.”

He came to the UK with his wife and three daughters (aged 7, 11 and 13) under the Government’s Syrian Vulnerable Person Resettlement scheme (SVPR) and was settled in Elmbridge. “[When we got here] it immediately felt safe, quiet and peaceful. Our neighbours are very kind, and people have been good to us.”

Elmbridge CAN is a local charity working with the Council to resettle refugee families in the community.

We help find properties. We furnish homes and we provide ongoing support to the families through our incredible team of volunteers.

“When we moved in we needed furniture and [Elmbridge CAN] supported us with this,” says Abdul. “They showed me how to sign up for English

lessons too – although my youngest daughter is fluent now and corrects me all the time! I can definitely say I have friends in Elmbridge CAN now.”

Together we’ve supported six families under this scheme and we’re hoping to welcome nine more over the next year. But to do this we need to find suitable homes to rent.

“The people the SVPR scheme helps are in a desperate situation,” explains Alex, a local landlord who’s renting a home to one of the families. “This was an opportunity to welcome them into our community here in Molesey and give them some support. We wanted them to feel welcomed.”

If you want to help a family like Abdul’s, please visit www.elmbridgecan.org.uk/let-yourproperty to find out how you can support our property appeal.

LEXUS RX CAR REVIEW BY TED MACAULEY

It is big in Japan, a top seller in America and it is looking all set to monopolise the fiercely competitive UK market for luxurious and large SUVs. That’s the refurbed, refreshed and reliable Lexus RX; It is a promisingly successful blend of petrol and electric for efficiency and reasonable fuel economy and all achieved in the utmost comfort. Okay, it may be relatively pricey, but for anybody with a few quid to spare and a requirement to enjoy miles of luxurious accompaniment, the RX fits the bill.

Lexus, launched by Japanese car moguls Toyota 30-odd years ago and in its fifth generation, is right now, a niche player in the UK market, battling with the respectable likes of the Audi Q7, the Volvo XC90 and the Range Rover Sport, all dominant forces to be reckoned with.

Since its arrival on the UK scene in 1990 more than 200,000 RX’s have hit the British market, 16,000 this year - and they aim on its upcoming re-launch early next year to smash their own record. I can see it happening. Such is the obvious care taken by the astute brains behind the scenes and the evidential fine result for their effort.

They tell me that since its original launch in 1998, the revolutionary Lexus RX SUV has sold more than three million models. And I’d bet there’s not been one complaint...

So what is it like? According to which of its three trim levels you fancy, the RX, F Sport or Takumi, the flexible five or slightly longer seven seater is a whizzbang

22 Looklocal Magazine -December 2019

goer, huge and sprawlingly comfortable, responsive and sharp, just what you need either for arduous motorway treks or humpy-bumpy twisty rural lanes.

And before you settle on a sale, you can specify halfa-dozen stand-alone spacious “captain’s chairs”..two in each row - offering a really commanding driving and viewing position.

Furthermore, the clever clogs in the design and planning areas have come up with a crucial safety trim. It is entitled the BladeScan Adaptive High Beam system which offers 24m of extra vision so you can spot potential hazards without it being a blinder to oncoming drivers.

And there’s tons of power from the self-charging hybrid set-up. That comprises a 259bhp 3.5 litre direction injection V6 petrol engine working with a front-andback pair of electric motors that will create a pulling power of 308 bhp.

I hope that does not sound too technical.

The prices will range from £52,705 up to £62,605....

So....What are the RX’s feedback and performance benefits? The five-seater F-Sport, for instance, will propel you from standstill to a respectable 62mph in around 7.7 seconds, topping out at 124 mph.

The seven seater is a wee bit slower. No surprise there.

No real disappointment or setback either....You would hardly notice.

Those rival SUV front runners had better watch out when this flexible new boy joins the fray.

MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE You live alone and you’ve an accident.

A 30had minute service

of favourite hymns readings followed by teaabout and The paramedics have and arrived and are asking questions your medication, emergency contacts, your medical conditions, cakes and a chance to socialize. your doctor’s name and address and many other personal details.

If you arehad living with Dementia Wouldn’t it be much easier if you this information already documented and kept safe where the paramedics knew to look?

If you are a carer

The Lions Clubs International has come up with a simple scheme called “ Message in a Bottle” which is designed to encourage people to keep their personal and medical details on a standard form and in a common location – the fridge.

As the name suggests, your personal information is kept in this small plastic bottle. The bottle has a push-fit lid and is big enough to hold the necessary information. The bottle is then kept in the fridge, where the emergency services will expect to look for it in the event of being called to your home. They will be alerted to your membership of the scheme by two “green cross” labels which you will find with the form in the bottle. One label should be attached to the back of your front door, or the door most used to access your home, and the second is attached to the door of your fridge. The information you need to provide is quite straightforward and the form has space for a passport sized photograph. In addition, it is also suggested that you include your repeat prescription list as this information is of great value to the ambulance service.

There is no cost to you as the costs of running the scheme are borne by your local Lions Clubs. You can usually find the bottles at your doctor’s surgery, chemists, community centre and local church. Whilst this scheme is focused on the more vulnerable people in our community, anyone can have an accident at home, so this scheme can be of benefit to anyone – including you.

If you are living alone

If you have some spare time

This is the event you’ve been looking for and we look forward to seeing you.

Inspiration!

The Stresstive Season I know, I know, but I just couldn’t resist it.

For me, the Festive Season is about being with family and friends - happy faces, twinkly lights, special food, connection.

What does it mean for you? Close your eyes and imagine your perfect Christmas. Now be aware of the feelings that image evokes, and what Christmas often turns into for you.

I love being with people I care about and making loved-ones happy with gifts they’ll enjoy. I love the special atmosphere that Christmas decorations create.

And sharing good food with family and friends is one of life’s great pleasures. But that’s as far as it goes. I’m not too concerned about doing it perfectly, because I know the cost of attaining that perfection can be very high and striving for it can become more important than the reasons for doing the things in the first place.

Yet many of us do strive for perfection at any cost, and then Christmas = Stress. Preoccupation with how we, our homes and the food looks to our guests can often take the pleasure out of actually being with them.

Here’s the thing. There’s nothing wrong with wanting our home and table to be looking great when our guests arrive, nor with going to all the trouble of making the decorations and food ourselves from scratch, if that gives us joy. But if going to such lengths creates feelings of stress and resentment instead, and we can’t wait for it all to be over, maybe it’s time to check out why we’re doing it.

We spend increasing sums of money and time looking for the perfect gifts in order to give happiness, but how long will that happiness last? Studies show that even lottery winners return to their former levels of happiness, sometimes in as little as a month. So if winning the lottery won’t cut it, what chance do our

presents stand? The trouble with material gifts is that after the novelty wears off, they become ‘ordinary’.

Researchers have found that people enjoy greater wellbeing and value from life experiences than from material things. Their memory lives on.

The perfect Christmas doesn’t exist. Mine does, for me. And yours can for you, if you think it through. If putting on a feast for 20 with all the trimmings gives you joy, go for it. If you’d like to escape to a desert island but your extended family wants to visit, maybe you could negotiate dates to allow for some alonetime, shared responsibilities for food and decorations, and a cap on gift values.

This year my perfect Christmas will be in Australia, celebrating the birth of another special baby, my son’s first child.

Merry Christmas!

VITAL FUNDING TO HELP IMPROVE THE LIVES OF ELMBRIDGE RESIDENTS Play equipment for a town centre, outdoor play and learning space, extension of a hall for community use and a defibrillator - just some of the recent projects awarded funding through Elmbridge’s Community Infrastructure Fund.

The Community Infrastructure Fund (CIL) allows Elmbridge Borough Council to raise funds through borough development to help pay for the physical infrastructure needed to mitigate the impacts of new development.

The bulk of the money raised goes towards strategic borough wide schemes such as highway schemes, permanent school expansions or flood works. However, as part of the process, the council also allocates a portion of these funds to be spent locally on smaller infrastructure schemes that are required in the communities where development took place.

The council has formed area committees known as Local Spending Boards where local Councillors decide on how these local CIL funds will be allocated. In the case of Claygate, the local proportion of CIL funds will be passed directly to the Parish Council.

The definition of infrastructure is broad and includes: • roads and other transport infrastructure • flood defences • schools and other educational facilities • medical facilities • sporting and recreational facilities • open spaces Cllr Karen Randolph, Portfolio Holder for Planning Services is a keen advocate of the CIL process and is delighted that local groups have benefitted from the funding: “In this latest round of CIL funding, it was great to see such a diversity of projects being supported by the council. Working in partnership with schools, charities and other non-profit organisations CIL can provide vital funding to help improve the lives of the people of Elmbridge.”

A sample of some of the projects supported through the local CIL funding are listed below: • Sunbury and Walton Sea Cadets building for the future • St James Church of England Primary School toilet and cloakroom upgrade • Cardinal Newman Catholic Primary school hall extension • Patient participation group defibrillator • Hinchley Wood Primary School playground upgrade • Chatterbus ticketing machine upgrade “The CIL funding has made such a big difference and we are hugely appreciative of the support given to us.

We are now progressing the training centre project, which will provide an important place for young people across the community”, says Mrs Cramp, Chairman, Sunbury and Walton Sea Cadets The next application period for CIL funding, for 2020-2021, is anticipated to open in February 2020, with the boards being held in June and early July 2020.
