Welcome...

It’s holiday time again, towards the end of this month the schools break up for the summer. If you’re looking for things to do over the summer break then there are plenty of events listed in our What’s On guide starting on page 4 - and more listed on our website at www.sussexlocal.net.

Whether you are at home or away this month do find time to enter our competition to win tickets to the Loxwood Joust - see page 12. This unique family event takes place over two weekends in August and sees armoured knights on horseback jousting along with other terrific Mediaeval attractions. We have a family ticket up for grabs which include VIP seats in the Royal Pavilion for the best views of the jousts. You can also win tickets to the Garden Show at Loseley Park, a great day out for all the family - see page 11.

Our main article this month is a feature on West Sussex charity Whizz Kids. Providing equipment and support, this worthy charity is radically improving lives of local disabled youngsters. See page 25.

Designing with Perennials is this month’s gardening topic on page 15 along with the main monthly tasks and our July recipe is perfect for the barbecue see page 26 (let’s hope the weather co-operates!).

Thanks for reading,

In Your Garden Monthly gardening ideas and tasks by Andrew Staib of Glorious Gardens Flats - The classic one is Achellia whose flower heads look like like saucers on a stem – A.Praprica is lovely Sprays and Plumes - These plants soften up a planting scheme and relax the forms of the other plants and the overall look of the bed- grasses are the obvious choice as well as tall Crocosmia at the back of a border and tall, languid Bronze Fennel Windows - These are plants that are so delicate and spacious that one can see through them to the other plants. Two examples are Stipa giganta and Verbena bonariensis (try ‘ V.b Lollypop’ if you don’t want too much height) Spires and Spikes - these shapes are pretty much essential if you want variation of form –as well as Foxgloves and Acanthus you can think of Veronicastrum, Astilbes in moist soil or the smaller,the bushy spikes of Lavender and the bullet proof, bottle brush flowers of the Persicaria family.

Lattice - This is found in the strong lines of ferns

Designing with Perennials Perennials are the smaller plants in your garden that die back each winter and spring back to life the next year.

This month we are going to look at how you can put them together and how to make a combination of an interesting variety of shapes. (We will look at colour in a future article) A good flower bed needs a blend of shapes and tones – otherwise it can look boring and ‘samey’. Below are some categorise that will help you see what could perhaps enrich your garden beds.

Froth - These are plants that have an abundance of small, light flowers like Gypsophila and Crambe cordifolia Buttons - These flowers are bright dots of colours like Geum and Dianthus, Poppies and Alliums

16 Gardening

CHICHESTER LOCAL your borders eg Hostas, Day Lillies and Bergenias Soft - Lamb’s Ears, French Lavender, Sage Daisy shapes - These classic flower shapes are found in Asters and Heleniums- but work best in combination with the rest of the above - a whole garden of daisy shaped flowers would drive one mad.

Hopefully this will help you look at your borders afresh to see what extra instruments are needed in your orchestra.

What to do in July The National Garden Scheme is still running.

Lush - Here the leave is full and green and offsets the more woody qualities of some of the other plants in

Founded in 1927 the scheme encouraged people to open up their gardens to the public to raise money for the newly formed district nurses role in poor urban areas. It has moved on since

Gardening

through the door then, from “a shilling a head” to raised over 20 million pounds for a variety of charities in the last 10 years.

If you go to the NGS website and type in ‘Sussex’ the dates you are free and you will find 36 gardens that are opening their gates in July though each garden is just open for a day or two only. Most serve tea and cakes.

Gardening Tasks for July 

Deadhead perennial flowers as they will often create a new flush of buds as you inhibit the energy of the plant going into seed production. Plus the first flush of Hybrid and Patio roses may have finished so deadhead them back to a couple of new, outward facing buds.



It is safe to bring any tender plants out from your conservatory now.



Make sure any ponds don’t get swamped with blanket weed.



Any shrubs that flowered in June can be cut back eg Wigelia and Philadelphius.



Any new plants that went in this year will dry out much faster than established plants as their roots are not as plugged into the surrounding soil.



Keep pinching out side shoots on your tomatoes.



Keep sowing salad for a continuous crop.

Sussex Snippets The Priory Park Festival takes place in Chichester on 8th, 9th and 10th July and promises an eclectic weekend, blending of the best elements of a village fete with a food fair, literary weekend and a great and diverse range of music. Many of the musicians come from Sussex with artists from Chichester and Brighton in particular topping the bill – providing a local feel with a widespread appeal. Contact: Festival Box Office Cloisters Shop, Cathedral Cloisters, PO18 1PX (open Monday – Saturday 10am – 5pm). 01243 813595 www.chichesterlive.co.uk West Sussex County Council needs around 60 new foster carers each year to help care for children in West Sussex, and they are encouraging people to consider become foster carers. WSCC says that to foster a child, people need – a spare room, a sense of humour, commitment, time, advocacy skills and some experience with children or teenagers. For information on fostering: www.westsussex.gov.uk/ campaigns/time-to-foster-time-to-care/ To celebrate its 70th anniversary, West Sussex Record Office has turned to new technology to showcase some favourite historical treasures.

“Abolition of the NHS” screened

A screening of “Sell-Off: The Abolition of the NHS” (a film by Peter Bach) took place recently at the Bassil Shippam Centre in Chichester, and was organised by Chichester and Bognor Green Party, with the support of Coastal West Sussex 38 Degrees NHS Group. The film is a critique of successive governments’ policies regarding the NHS. A principal target being the Coalition regime, 2010 - 2015, in which the controversial Health and Social Care Act (2012) was passed, an Act intended to open the NHS to greater market forces, and ultimately to its comprehensive privatization. The film contains many interviews with NHS professionals, practitioners and managers, and

with academics who have published extensively on the subject. Following the screening, Dr Diana Brighouse, from Southampton University, chaired a Q&A with two of the films participants, Dr Bob Gill and Dr Lucy Reynolds. The event closed with a vote of thanks from a spokesperson from Coastal West Sussex 38 Degrees NHS Group.

Centurion Way Bypass

Dear Editor, I understand that 1600 houses are to be built at Centurion Way. The traffic impact on Orchard Street, St Paul’s Road is likely to be extremely severe.

The developers plan to route the construction traffic along the 27, Orchard Street, Northgate and St Paul’s Road. A study forecasts that traaffic will increase 40 percent by 2031. Growing medical evidence shows that vehicle pollution kills through cancer, asthma, strokes and heart disease.

With two schools immediately adjacent to the air quality measuring posts stipulated. It has already breached illegal limits. To alleviate this a southern bypass route is required before the construction of these houses to spare Chichester the consequences. The public should be alerted to the consequences before this development. E C Emerson. By email

Transport Plan Needed

The Green Party is calling for urgent action to develop a Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan for Chichester.

Alongside the least environmentally damaging road upgrades, the party and local green experts believe that a range of other measures would relieve traffic and congestion on the road. The Green Party is asking the question: Where is the sustainable plan that should be considered by local people alongside any road schemes? Among the ideas – already mainstream in other cities in the UK and Europe they would like to see are: increasing and extending

cheaper train services, a new station, for example at Tangmere, a system of electric powered buses, reinstating or building new tramlines, safe cycle ways into the centres from outlying areas, using tunnels to cross the A27, and possibly small, landscaped parkand-ride schemes. If any local people with expertise in transport planning are interested in being involved with this initiative, contact Sarah Sharp, 07789 843556, email: sarah.ccc@gmail.com or Isabel Thurston isabel_thurston@yahoo.co.uk.

“Friends” Support St Wilfrid’s

St Wilfrid’s Hospice has been included by the charity Friends of Sussex Hospices in the support they give across West and East Sussex. This charity, run entirely by volunteers, has for 21 years been raising funds for hospices across both counties and to date has distributed £1.5 million through their fundraising activities, their work complementing the hospices’ own fundraising initiatives. To celebrate their 21st anniversary, the Friends are planning a project to raise awareness of all twelve hospices in the area – The Sussex Hospices Trail is a walking trail linking the hospice areas through some of Sussex’s most beautiful countryside. The Trail can be used for fundraising events or simply enjoyed by walkers on public footpaths and bridleways.

Too much information

By Richard Cohen JP FPFS ACII MCSI Chartered Financial Planner The long term higher return you usually get from investments is the reward you get for putting up with a rougher ride. With that in mind is it sensible to worry about every daily movement? Is there any downside to checking regularly? Possibly…

The problem is that in the short term markets are unpredictable. Whilst the FTSE 100 is not everything when it comes to investing and hopefully an investor will have a diversified portfolio made up of different asset classes from all over the world, it does provide us with 32 years’ worth of market data. With that in mind let’s look at three investors who all invested £10,000 in a FTSE 100 tracker when the index was created in 1984.

The first likes to know exactly what they are worth each day and logs on to their account each morning to see the value of their fund, pre internet they checked the FTSE 100 on teletext. Our second investor phones up their adviser at the start of each month to check how things are doing and our final investor wait for their annual review with their adviser.

Since 1984 the FTSE 100 has risen around five fold,

so all three investors will now have around £60,000.

Whilst they will have paid charges to be invested they will have received far more in dividends and if they had reinvested those dividends they would have benefited from compounding. However, to keep things simple I’m using a no dividend, no charge scenario.

Despite the massive capital return the FTSE 100 has provided, since its inception it has only risen on 51% of trading days. Our first investor is going to be disappointed around half the time he checks in.

The FTSE 100 has risen 59% of calendar months, so on average each year seven of the monthly calls will have been positive. Finally, the FTSE has risen in 72% of calendar years therefore the final investor will only have been disappointed nine times over the 32 years.

In my experience the last two investors are happier and have a more positive outlook on investing.

I’m not suggesting investors should bury their heads in the sand but it’s important to remember the long term reasons you invested and remember the bigger picture.

Whizz-Kidz Helping disabled youngsters find confidence and independence For 26 years national charity, Whizz-Kidz has been transforming the lives of disabled children in the UK by providing the vital equipment, support and life skills they need to reach their full potential, and offers a range of services in West Sussex.

Back in 1989, Whizz-Kidz founder, Mike Dickson, was in his bike shop when he saw a girl in a wheelchair looking up at a bike light on a higher shelf. When Mike asked if he could help, the girl politely replied, ‘No thanks, I can reach it myself,’ pushed a button her powered wheelchair and rose up to take the light off the shelf herself. It was at that moment that Mike realized the difference that the right wheelchair could make to a child’s life. That small action of picking something off a high shelf meant something a lot bigger – it meant independence. Mike ran the London Marathon that year and, remembering the moment in the bike shop, pledged to raise the money to buy a powered wheelchair for a child who needed it – he raised £9,000 for a girl with cerebral palsy and the following year he founded Whizz-Kidz.

The charity provides a range of mobility equipment for children and young people with physical disabilities – including manual and powered wheelchairs, buggies and trikes, and in some cases they may also be able to offer sports wheelchairs – allowing them to be independent in all areas of their lives. The charity works with young people from roughly two to twenty five years of age, supporting young people at different stages throughout their journey into adulthood. However, Whizz-Kidz mission statement is for all disabled children’s lives to be full of fun, friendship and freedom, and for them the wheelchair is just the start of achieving this aim. The charity also runs clubs and camps, provides wheelchair skills training and work placements to help young people develop confidence and independence, and offers services to help disabled young people, their parents or carers Whizz-Kidz services in West Sussex centre upon the charity’s Ambassador Youth Club in Worthing. Ambassador Clubs give young disabled people a place to meet, make friends and have fun, and they provide a range of activities including, music, dance, art, sports, beauty therapy, cooking and trips out. They also run campaigns to help improve the lives of young disabled people by raising awareness of disability issues and campaigning for better facilities. Other services that run throughout the county include Wheelchair Skills Courses, Work Placements that are tailored to each young person’s needs and also Residential Camps that come to the South East once a year, providing young people with a two night stay independent of their parent or carer – Camp Whizz-Kidz is designed for wheelchair users aged from twelve to twenty five.

The Wheelchair Skills Courses work in partnership with local primary, secondary and special schools teaching users how to get the most from their wheelchairs. There are three levels of training provided – beginners, intermediate and advanced – and children can learn how to tackle kerbs, perfect their reversing skills or learn how to safely carry items in their chair. Training events support wheelchair users aged from two to twenty five and are delivered by experienced trainers, many of whom use wheelchairs themselves.

For an older age group, Work Placements allow disabled young people, aged from fourteen to twenty five years old, to gain invaluable experience of the workplace, learn more about a career, acquire useful contacts and improve their employability. The service offers a range of opportunities and works in one of two ways – either a company will offer a placement and the charity finds a candidate to fill it, or else a candidate will contact them and ask for a specific placement which the charity then do their best to find.

The charity also organises Work Skills Days, offering youngsters a valuable chance to meet employers and friends and to learn about and consider future career paths in a social environment. During the day participants undertake interactive workshops, working as a team and individually, and learning about CV building, career planning and disability rights, resulting in a boost of confidence, experience in the work place and the opportunity to work with Whizz-Kidz in the future with a Work Placement.

In addition to the charity’s core programme of services, young people can also sign up to the Young Leaderz programme that develops vital leadership, decision-making and teamwork skills, encouraging the development of new mind-sets and attributes by completing modules such as ‘Becoming a Role Model’.

Owen - Work Placement at Middlesbrough Football Club

Whizz-Kidz is always looking to grow the services it provides and so reach more young people and families that need the charity’s support. The Ambassador Club, along with all of the Young People’s Services offered, welcomes new young people.

So, how do families take up the services offered by Whizz-Kidz? Whizz-Kidz works in collaboration with the NHS and with respect to the provision of mobility equipment, the charity’s guidelines state that: “The NHS should always be a family’s first port of call for mobility equipment. However, if your local NHS Wheelchair Service does not provide equipment to meet the essential mobility needs of your child then we may able to help.” It may be that children are un-

There may also be a longer NHS waiting list for particular types of equipment. Whizz-Kidz receives all its referrals for wheelchairs from the NHS, but they state that their “approach is more holistic,” with their therapists assessing disabled children and young people so “we can give them an appropriate wheelchair to fit their young lives.” Full details on how to apply for Wheelchair Services, along with the other services provided

by Whizz-Kidz, can be found on the charity’s website.

The majority of Whizz-Kidz funding comes from donations – the charity raised £6.4million in 2014, more than eighty percent of which came from voluntary sources including trusts, companies and individuals.

Thus investing in fund raising is a vital part of the organisations sustainability. Again in 2014, 28pence from every £1 raised went towards fundraising, with the remaining 72pence being spent on services to transform the lives of disabled children.

In common with most charities, Whizz-Kidz enjoys the support of an enthusiastic team of volunteers, who assist in the delivery of a number of their services across the UK, and more specifically in the South East. However, Whizz-Kidz always has a need for more volunteers to help the charity reach more young

CHICHESTER LOCAL people. Volunteers can get involved in a variety of ways – with the young people’s services, like the Ambassador Youth Clubs, there is a club in Brighton as well as the Worthing branch; with Wheelchair Skills Courses or by supporting the fundraising team in the county. There is also a new mentoring programme underway with the charity providing training for those volunteers wishing to mentor young people. The recruitment process is always open and volunteers can investigate opportunities available on the Whizz-Kidz website.
