Our last copy was back in March. Since restrictions are being lifted, we decided to publish and distribute the magazine to the area once again. It’s great to be able to do so and to get local businesses and charities and much more to you. It was a long break, but so glad to know that we are getting back to some form of normality. Of course, as we go forward and have freer movement, it’s important that we continue to take care of ourselves and others by taking the necessary precautions to do so. We hope that you will enjoy this month’s copy and of course, you may have noticed it has changed size. So, let us know of anything such as local news or local activities that you are doing. We would love to hear from you. Our email details are below. On a final note, I wanted to add that summer is finally here. Here’s to enjoying the best of July. Take Care, Be Safe and Stay Well. See you in August! All the best Angela

DIVIDENDS & CORONAVIRUS: WILL YOUR INCOME BE AFFECTED? As businesses have been hit by the coronavirus pandemic, some have decided to cut dividends and regulators are adding pressure for others to follow suit. This may leave a hole in your income if you rely on dividends. According to reports from The Times, investors have suffered a dividend cut of at least £600 million as some of the UK’s biggest businesses aim to conserve cash during the coronavirus pandemic. A wide range of business sectors has been impacted by the virus and resulting lockdown, leading to profits tumbling. As a result, firms have taken steps to hold cash as a buffer and, in some cases, regulators have stepped in. The UK banking regulator, for example, wants banks to suspend dividends temporarily. Some businesses are also using the government’s scheme to furlough staff, therefore taking money off the taxpayer, leading to questions around whether these firms should continue to make pay outs to shareholders. WHY DOES THIS AFFECT INVESTORS? If you’re investing in growth stocks with a longterm plan, the recent market volatility isn’t likely to have a significant impact on your goals overall. However, it’s a different story if you rely on dividends to top-up your income. A dividend is the distribution of a portion of the company’s earnings paid to shareholders. Dividends

T. 01273 774855 E. advice@pembrokefs.co.uk W. www.pembrokefinancial.co.uk

are managed by the company’s board of directors and must be approved by shareholders through their voting rights. Dividends are typically paid in cash, but can also be issued as shares, and may be issued at regular intervals. As a result, dividendpaying companies may be used as part of an income investment portfolio. These typically involve investing in well-established companies that no longer need to reinvest the majority of profits back into the business to reach goals. As a result, high growth businesses typically don’t pay out dividends. For the most part, once a company has established dividends, investors expect this to continue, but that doesn’t mean they will. As even established firms face uncertainty in light of the pandemic and more are choosing to either freeze or suspend dividends in the short term. Whilst historically dividends have tended to be less volatile than the stock market itself, this doesn’t mean they are a ‘safe’ investment. Investing for income, including dividend-paying companies, still comes with risks that need to be considered. So, if dividends make up a portion of your income, what can you do?

1. REDUCE OUTGOINGS If your income has been affected, the first thing to do is understand what it means for your finances in the short term. If there is a shortfall in covering essential outgoings, there are currently government-backed schemes in place to support households, including mortgage holidays. Where possible, it may be necessary to reduce outgoings temporarily to match the reduction in income. 2. USE YOUR EMERGENCY FUND Everyone should have a cash emergency fund they can fall back on should their income drop. Ideally, this should be easily accessible and have enough to pay for three to six months of outgoings. Often clients can feel reluctant to access this money they’ve put away for a rainy day, but it’s times like these that you’ve been saving for. 3. CREATE AN INCOME FROM OTHER ASSETS If your income from dividend-paying stocks has fallen, you could build an income stream from other assets that you hold. What’s possible and whether or not it’s the right decision for you will depend on a variety of factors. If this is something you’d like to discuss, please get in touch with us.

4. KEEP YOUR INVESTMENT PLANS IN MIND If dividends have been reduced or halted altogether, you may be tempted to dump the stocks and look at alternatives. However, keep the bigger picture in mind. Given the current situation, it’s likely many dividendpaying companies are in a similar position for the time being. A reduction in dividends can be a prudent move and ensure sustainability, therefore protecting your dividend income over the long term. If you’re worried about how secure a firm is, research why the changes to dividends have been made. A statement is often made available on the firm’s website. This may be able to provide you with some reassurance that the changes are temporary. 5. SPEAK TO US We’re here to help ease concerns you have about your financial situation and what it means for your plans. This includes a reduction in dividend income. Whether you want to understand what it means in the short term or are considering making investment changes due to this, please get in touch with us.

This month we are looking at and discussing the most weather appropriate issue of sweaty feet (Hyperhidrosis).

Shoreham Wordfest is also running a Poetry for Our Time project for children aged 7-11 years, together with Kay Walton from local poetry group Rap’n’Rhyme. There are workshops and great ideas to inspire young poets to write poems about their world as it is now: Lines from the Lockdown. Originally designed for Adur schools, we have redesigned it as an on-line project and opened it to all local children and families.

Most of us have suffered from foot perspiration and odour from time to time, yet for some people, sweaty feet are a persistent problem which can be embarrassing and uncomfortable.

The selected poems will appear in a unique Shoreham Wordfest book, with book tokens for the best entries. There will also be a celebratory event for children and families later in the year. The deadline for entries is 31 July. The workshops and more details about the Poetry for Our Time project are available on www.rapnrhymers.com

There are more sweat glands per inch in our feet than anywhere else in the body so it’s not surprising that this can cause foot problems such as foot odour and a greater risk of minor skin infections, through athlete's foot, or blisters. Hot weather can make matters worse, although sweaty feet is a winter, as well as a summer, problem. It can also be an inherited condition or caused through hormonal changes.

Annie Miller By Judy Upton Annie Miller was born into the poverty of London in 1835. Her father had served in the army and been wounded in the Napoleonic Wars. He worked as builder and her mother was a cleaner. Upon the death of her mother, Annie went to live with her aunt, who was a laundress and her uncle, a shoemaker, in a back-street slum. In 1853, at the age of eighteen, Annie was working as a barmaid when the artist William Holman Hunt asked her if she would pose for him. Hunt was a member of the Pre-Raphaelite art scene and Annie appeared in Hunt’s most famous painting ‘The Awakening Conscience’. It is now part of the Tate Gallery collection Hunt and Annie became engaged and he paid for her schooling, with Annie learning to read and write. Hunt left Annie in London when he embarked on an artistic pilgrimage to the Middle East in 1854. He believed it would add a sense of realism to his biblical work by painting in Egypt and Palestine. Spotting a lone goat on the shore of the Dead Sea, Hunt created the artwork entitled ‘The Scapegoat.’ Annie became a model for other artists and posed for John Everett Millais. Then despite Hunt’s disapproval she posed for George Price Boyce and for Dante Gabriel Rossetti. She featured in Rossetti’s paintings ‘Dante’s Dream’ and ‘Helen of Troy’. When Hunt returned to England in 1856, Annie Miller became the subject of feud between Hunt and Rossetti. Hunt finally broke off the engagement in 1859 with Annie continuing to pose for Boyce and Rossetti. Rossetti’s wife Elizabeth Siddal, who posed for his painting ‘Beata Beatrix’, was jealous of Annie Miller and threw out Rossetti’s sketches of Annie. Sothebys and Christies have auctioned surviving drawings 12

of Annie Miller by Rossetti in recent years, for around £200,000 each. On the 23rd of July 1863, Annie married Thomas Ranelagh John George Thomson Esq. at St. Pancras Church, London. He had been Adjutant of the 1st or Royal East Middlesex Regiment of Militia until his promotion to Captain on the 28th of January 1856. He was cousin to the seventh Viscount Ranelagh, Thomas Heron Jones, who insisted Britain had standing militia’s to deter attack by the French, commanded by Napoleon III. Viscount Ranelagh’s volunteer army assembled in Brighton in a show of its military strength. Captain Thomson and Annie resided at Montrose House, Hampstead, London where their daughter Annie Helen was born in 1866. Their son Thomas James was born in 1867. The family moved to Shoreham-by-Sea living at 6 Western Road. Annie Helen described her mother as “being lovely and ladylike, wearing exquisite handmade shoes and kid gloves.” Captain Thomson died aged 87 in 1916. Annie lived to the age of 90 and died in 1925. She is buried in Shoreham’s Mill Lane Cemetery. The ‘Pre-Raphaelite Sisters’ exhibition was held at London’s National Gallery from October 2019 through to January 2020. Its curator Jan Marsh said at its opening “I would like to re-write the whole narrative of the Pre-Raphaelite women being exploited and hard done by. They were active agents in forging their own futures. They seized the opportunities, especially the models. Women like Anne Miller escaped their social class and probable fate of domestic service.” References

Photography Projects

In these times dominated by the pandemic many photographers, including myself, have documented the lockdown. A documentary series can often turn into a photographic project. Most projects probably start when a photographer finds themselves drawn to a few similar subjects and realises that they have a personal interest in the images. Something drives them to adding to the sequence, continuing to build the project, sometimes for months, years or a never ending quest. So what makes a photographic project ? How is it defined ? A project is a series or sequence of images, no set number taken over any length of time and telling a story that is personal to the

aid the understanding of the viewer. Adding prose to photographs goes against the grain for some conventional photographers as the old adages of ‘every picture tells a story’ and ‘photographs should speak for themselves’ can cloud their thinking when it comes to projects but there has to be a different train of thought as projects are not about the single image they are about a sequence of pictures that have to be seen together in order to make sense, to expand on the idea.

When early diagnosis matters, delays cost lives. Pancreatic Cancer Action issues stark warning as the UK avoids seeking medical help. The Coronavirus Pandemic is having a huge impact on the way that people are using the NHS, with cancer referrals, GP and A&E visits down significantly versus last year. With pressure on NHS resources set to continue in the months ahead, Pancreatic Cancer Action has issued a stark warning to anyone experiencing symptoms not to postpone seeking help. Data from public health England suggests that two-week wait cancer referrals from GPs to hospitals have fallen by up 80% in some areas, while the latest figures from NHS England show that A&E visits have halved. The two-week wait is now improving but this is still very concerning. With almost half of all pancreatic cancer cases diagnosed as an emergency in A&E, the combination of reduced referrals and reduced A&E visits spells a worrying picture for anyone who might be suffering from undiagnosed symptoms. Ali Stunt, CEO and founder of Pancreatic Cancer Action, explains, “For Pancreatic Cancer, in particular, early diagnosis is absolutely critical. That’s why we’re particularly concerned by these figures. As a survivor of the disease herself, Ali knows first hand the stark realities. Initially dismissed as gallstones, scans revealed that Ali’s symptoms were due to a 5.5cm tumour in her pancreas. Had she hesitated, or encountered any delays in her diagnosis and subsequent treatment, the cancer would have been inoperable. Instead, Ali underwent treatment and went on to set up Pancreatic Cancer Action, a UK charity which focusses on improving survival rates for pancreatic cancer by ensuring more people are diagnosed early and in time for surgery. Ali continues, “While the usual routes to diagnosis and treatment will inevitably be skewed by the current pandemic, measures such as new moving treatments to COVID free wards are being put in place to ensure that treatment can continue. NHS leaders have made it clear that urgent cancer diagnosis and treatment should go ahead. We are urging people not to avoid visiting their doctors. All 22

the data we have shows that early diagnosis is key to surviving pancreatic cancer and that awareness of the signs and symptoms is the key to early detection, making it absolutely vital that people approach their GP if they have symptoms.” Pancreatic cancer has the lowest 5-year survival rate of all the 22 most common cancers - a fact which is largely due to late diagnosis. Although many GP practices have had to change the way that they run appointments, the charity has highlighted how urgent it is that people protect their health, and their lives, by not ignoring other health issues during the pandemic. What are the symptoms of pancreatic cancer? • Jaundice/yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes, and/or very itchy skin. • Upper abdominal pain or discomfort, which may radiate to the back. • Mid back pain or discomfort where a bra strap would sit (may be eased by leaning forward). • Pale and smelly stools that don’t flush easily and/or a change in bowel habits • Loss of appetite. • Indigestion which doesn’t respond to medication. • Nausea and vomiting • New onset diabetes which is not associated with weight gain • Fatigue. • Unexplained weight loss.

Remember your loved ones and support your local hospice. ST BARNABAS HOUSE INVITES YOU TO PARTICIPATE IN ITS SUNFLOWER MEMORIES APPEAL. Every year, colourful sunflower markers are displayed at the hospice, each one in memory of a loved one for whom a donation has been made. This year, the sunflowers will be displayed throughout August and the usual gathering at the hospice will be replaced with a special virtual dedication on Friday 21 August. This is to enable everyone to take part, including those that are still shielding or self-isolating. For their own wellbeing and to protect patients, families and staff, supporters are asked to not visit the hospice to view their sunflowers.

overwhelmed us was that whilst Mum was being treated at the hospice she continued to live on with her unique individuality, where her own strengths were considered every single day by the people who cared and engaged with her.

“The room where she spent her days was beautiful; airy and bright, overlooking a garden where she would watch the bushes and trees in the wind, rain and sunshine. She enjoyed watching the birds who visited and ate from the bird feeders; this became such an important aspect to mum’s psychological wellbeing, knowing that a little of the outside was with her inside her room.” Will you remember a loved one with a sunflower dedicated in their memory?

You can give as much or as little as you wish. Every donation will go directly towards providing vital care services, both at the hospice and for patients needing support in their own homes. David and his daughter, Launa, will be dedicating a sunflower to their beloved wife and mother, Mary, who was cared for by St Barnabas. In Launa’s own words, “What 24

Sophie’s 4-hour HIIT challenge raises £4,215 for the hospice who cared for her mother Art teacher and mum of three, Sophie Garwood, has completed the ultimate HIIT fundraising challenge with a gruelling 4-hour high-intensity workout in memory of her mother, Rosie Garwood. Streaming live from her lounge in Shoreham-by-Sea on Saturday 16 May, Sophie was joined online by over one hundred friends, family members and onlookers from around the world, many of who took part in the fitness session and made a donation to St Barnabas House.

The event was held on what would have been her mother’s 66th birthday weekend and an incredible £4,215 was raised for the hospice who cared for Rosie during her short battle with cancer.

Having suffered from pains in her side, which were initially put down to IBS, Rosie was diagnosed with an aggressive form of neuroendocrine cancer in December 2019. When she and her family were told that the cancer had spread from her bowel to her liver and no further treatment was available, Sophie says it “came as a massive shock”. “My lovely mother was only 65 when she died very suddenly on 15 January 2020. It literally felt like the world fell apart. She was a wonderfully talented, intelligent and kind woman

with an amazing sense of humour. She was my best friend and I miss her every moment of the day.

For the last hour of the challenge, Sophie was joined by her husband, Chris, whose support she says “I couldn’t have coped without.”

“Dealing with her sudden loss, and then grieving during the lockdown has meant it’s been a terribly hard time. I so miss the support of my friends and family, just meeting for a chat or having a cuddle, but I understand that this time is difficult for everyone. It’s just been so hard to grieve properly and life feels so lonely without my Mum in it.

“I found the challenge tough mentally rather than physically and when I finished the four hours I just broke down with the emotion of it all. I’m still coming to terms with the loss of my wonderful mum and there are so many different feelings to process.

“My husband and I have three young children who adored their Gaga, and none of us knew what to do with ourselves at first. So, we decided to start doing exercise together and share our work outs on a YouTube channel to help keep ourselves and others sane, fit and positive whilst stuck at home.” It was whilst exercising that Sophie came up with the fundraising challenge which she decided to hold on the weekend of her mother’s birthday. “I would have loved nothing more than to be celebrating Mum’s birthday with her. But instead, I decided to do something special for her and help raise money for St Barnabas as they did so much to ensure her life was as comfortable as it could be for the short time she had left. “I would have done a sponsored walk, or jumped out of a plane, but with lockdown I've had to think outside the box.” During the four-hour HIIT challenge, Sophie was spurred on by messages of support and says it made her feel “so close to friends and family who I hadn’t seen for weeks because of lockdown.” “It was crazy to be doing something in my lounge, but yet feel so much love. “I was thinking about my Mum and the money which was being raised for an amazing charity the whole time. So many people have donated. It was just a wonderful experience.” 30

“She was so loved and had so much to live for. Her four grandchildren Lenny, Rudi, Ottilie and Kimball adored her as did her friends and family. “My Dad, Steve, has been so strong, as has my brother Tom and his wife Sophie. I can’t wait for us all to be able to be together in the future so we can give mum a proper send off and just be there for each other. “Mum will forever live on through us, and I’m just so happy to have done something positive for her.” It’s not too late to show you support and make a donation via Sophie’s JustGiving page.
