Welcome...

to a brand new year! I resolved a long time ago not to make new year resolutions which is easy enough to stick to... If 2016 wasn’t the best year for you, January brings a metaphorical blank page so set your goals for 2017 and aim high!

Our main article this month puts the spotlight on local charity Home Start.

Assisting struggling families with practical advice and hands-on support since 1973 the charity helps families in this area with at least one child under five. See page 24.

With a new year upon us, you may be thinking of making changes around your home or garden. Andrew from Glorious Gardens gives ideas for designing a wildlife garden in this month’s gardening feature, see page 34.

If you are ready to reign-in unhealthy eating habits, our January recipe from Cook with Alex is a delicious and healthy red grapefruit salad. See page 32.

Motoring news Record year for new car sales?

Despite worries about the potential economic impact of Brexit, new-car sales are expected to exceed 2.7m when industry body the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) collates the annual data in the new year.

As reported on www.telegraph.co.uk a variety of factors have assisted the sales. A strong pound meant cars produced abroad but sold in the UK are more profitable. Weak demand in other European markets resulted in car makers directing supply to where their vehicles were selling. Finally, cheap finance deals mean cars have never been more affordable.

Aston Martin DB4 A run of 25 Aston Martin DB4 GT Continuation models are being built to original specification for an estimated £1.5 million each (around half of what original DB4 GTs are currently valued at).

The cars will be built next Autumn by the brand’s historic arm, Aston Martin Works, at Newport Pagnell, where the original car was constructed from 1959.

Produced for four years until 1963, the DB4 GT won on its race debut at Silverstone with Sir Stirling Moss behind the wheel. Buyers of the track-only cars will be

offered the chance to receive training from Aston Martin’s professional drivers. www.autocar.co.uk

Green driving www.independent.co.uk The Dutch government has set a date for parliament to host a roundtable discussion that could see the sale of petrol and diesel-fuelled cars banned by 2025. If the measures proposed by the Labour Party in March are finally passed, it would join Norway and Denmark in making a concerted move to develop its electric car industry.

Outside Europe, both India and China have demanded citizens use their cars on alternate days to reduce the exhaust fumes which are causing serious health problems for the populations of both nations.

A new way of charging electric cars could help reduce the time it takes to minutes rather than hour reports the RAC on www.rac.co.uk The company Augmented Optics has revealed a new polymer material that can charge a car as fast as filling it up with fuel. The technology could totally transform the electric vehicle market.

Cash ISAs Are you fed up with poor returns? There is an alternative says The Mellor Practice

Help is at hand.

Many of our clients are complaining bitterly that returns are so poor that they are looking round for alternatives. It may be that you can identify with them, but are hesitant about riskier alternatives.

Some well established companies are offering a ‘new breed’ of ISAs which smooth out returns from stock markets. They have no ‘lock-in’ period with near instant access and are suitable for the cautious investor. Because of the potentially better returns, many use the monthly income facilities to supplement pension income. We all need to make our money work harder for us, especially with inflation creeping up.

ISAs provide one of the few remaining tax breaks, with no income or capital gains tax to pay. They are versatile, in that Cash ISAs can be transferred to Investment ISAs - and vice versa. Transferring ISAs

from previous tax years doesn’t affect one’s current year’s allowance.

Why not telephone Hilary Peyman on 01903 882007 to book a complimentary appointment? It’s an excellent opportunity to find out if The Mellor Practice may be suitable for you, with no obligation or pressure.

Meetings can be held either at their spacious offices just outside Arundel with easy free parking, or if you prefer an advisor can visit you at your home.

If you’d like to discuss this over the telephone, please call Laurie Mellor on 01903 882007.

Memories of an Arundel 'Mullett' Part 2 Arundel Memories of the late Roland Puttock By local historian Mark Phillips

Arundel Memories in the words of the late Roland Puttock - Extracts from an interview with Roland recorded by the Arundel Museum Oral History Group in the year 2000 In May 2015 the town lost one of its great characters in Arundel born Roland and Duke Miles at Rolands Roland Puttock retirement party in March 1991 who sadly passed away in the town hospital. He was born in Arundel as was his father before him and as such both were proud ‘Mullets’, the name given to those born within the Parish.

You may recall that we left off last month with Roland accepting the position of Comptroller (no, not a spelling error) at Arundel castle working for Duke Bernard.

‘The Duke didn't like changes. He knew exactly where every piece of furniture should be. His wife, Duchess Lavinia, made a lot of changes when she first married him and he had no choice but to compromise over that. Lavinia was a wonderful and very clever lady.

She did not convert to Catholicism when she married and remained an Anglican and she attended both churches. She was doing so much for both religions….it did not matter to her; they were all people as far as she was concerned.’

‘There was no Doctors surgery in those days, they generally held their surgeries in their own houses although Dr Pearson who lived in Carlton House, Maltravers Street did have his own dispensary there.

Before it was abolished the Town Council was responsible for everything in Arundel: the roads, the lighting, the planning, council houses, everything… In 1974 Local government was reorganised all over the UK and Arundel became part of Arun District Council who managed everything from a distance which I think was very sad.’

‘Duke Bernard (the 16th duke) died in 1975. I learnt a lot from him and when he died, we lost a really great aristocrat. The Duke had no sons but four daughters. It was necessary, therefore, to go back

three generations to find the male in the family eligible to become the next duke.’

‘Duke Miles became the 17th Duke. He was approaching 60 years of age and was a retired MajorGeneral in the Grenadier Guards. He’d been to Arundel only once, as a soldier. Suddenly becoming the premier peer of England was really very difficult for him, but we got on extremely well together. He used to say, “Come on Roland, you’ll have to come in because you make a better Duke than I do”, which of course was quite right!’ (laughs) ‘One day the Duke asked me what I thought about making the castle an independent charitable trust and I said, “Well, if it’s going to help us financially let’s have a go”. We put in an application to the charity commissioners and to our surprise, they agreed to it. So, we became an independent charitable trust and suddenly I found myself with Arundel Castle and 73 acres of land, including the world’s most beautiful cricket ground.’

‘At one period, every year, the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh used to come down and visit the races at Goodwood and they stayed alternate years at Goodwood House and Arundel Castle. I met many members of the Royal Family at the castle over the years.

The Prince of Wales and Princess Diana would often come down to the area and ask to stay with us for the night, which worked out very well.’

‘You asked me what I think is the biggest change in the town over the years. Well during the war I knew almost everybody who lived in Arundel and I could even tell you where they lived. But I’m afraid that things have changed so much that I now know very few residents. It’s quite extraordinary the number of people Duke Bernard and Duchess Laviniain who have moved front of Hiorne Tower. From a 1965 here. I think I can Christmas card count on one hand the number of people I see around town that I went to school with. Yes, everything has changed and is still changing, but then that’s life, isn’t it?’

Louise Goldsmith, the Leader of West Sussex County Council, went ‘back to the floor’ to get hands-on and undertake a shift as a home care worker, when she rolled up her sleeves and spent time with Inter-County Nursing & Care Services, a home care provider based in Oving near Chichester. Louise was one of a number of senior councillors and staff at the county council to undertake home care shifts around the county in the past few weeks, and she teamed up with one of the carers, Clare McWilliam, to meet a resident and see the kind of tasks the care workers undertake and to hear how residents feel about having home care. www.westsussex.gov.uk/jobsincare With a churchyard in Old Shoreham marking her last resting place, the dramatic life of Princess Bariatinsky will be explored in a talk at Shoreham Library on Thursday 19th January, at 7pm. Many people are curious about the Russian Princess’s unusual gravestone in St Nicolas' churchyard but few know anything about her, now authors John and Jeannette Simpson will be sharing their research on the princess, which has culminated in a book on her life. Tickets are £4 each including light refreshments and are available from Shoreham Library on 01273 467966 or via Shoreham.library@westsussex.gov.uk.

West Sussex schools have created a unique video message inviting local astronaut Tim Peake to make a return visit to his home county; the video invitation includes school children launching their own mini rockets and features a special poem throughout, and also includes some of the school children using sign language and specially-created artwork.

Pet of the Month The Cat & Rabbit Rescue Centre (CRRC) Pet of the Month for January is four year old Katija, who arrived at the Centre in May this year due to her owner having allergies. Katija has lots of energy, likes to explore and is very independent. She can be a little naughty sometimes, mainly when she has to go back in her pen and would rather be running about, and she can also be dominant with other cats so any other cats in her new home would need to be confident enough to put Katija in her place. Katija loves to play and to be petted, on her terms, so if you think you can offer Katija a new home please contact the Centre.

CRRC has a Viewing Day on Sat 28th January, from 12 -2pm, when anyone thinking of adopting a cat can pop along without an appointment. Otherwise the Centre re-homes seven days a week by appointment only.

Update from Paul Dendle As we’re at the beginning of a new year, I thought I would give you some updates on issues.

Arun has re-let its cleansing contract with savings of at least £250,000 per annum. It has been let on virtually the same basis as the previous contract – i.e. weekly refuse and fortnightly recycling - for three years from this month with an option of an extension of three years. The winning bidder is Biffa, the previous supplier, so I see it as a win-win for the taxpayer and I am very pleased, as portfolio holder, to have helped achieve this result.

A Planning application has gone in for the new Littlehampton Leisure Centre, which will offer an 8085 station gym, a dance studio, a spinning studio, as well as a fully accessible eight lane, 25 metre pool and a learner pool.There will also be a café and a multi purpose/meeting room. It will cost £15.3 million, but is being paid for by savings from the new Leisure contract (with Freedom Leisure) of £1.15 million - these will increase to £1.35 million once the new centre is built. Arun will invest £8 million of its own money and borrow the balance from the Public Loans Board, which can give very low interest rates of less than 2.5 percent.

One stipulation that I have insisted on is that we build the new centre before we close the old one, so that we have a seamless service provision. The increased

23

efficiencies of a new centre combined with the low interest rates makes a very good business case to build the centre and underpins Arun’s reputation as an investor in leisure as a way of championing quality of life issues.

On another leisure issue, I have helped to get a grant of £25,000, from the Joint Downland Area Committee, towards the Arundel Lido LEAP project (provision of new changing facilities and a gym), it’s only a first step to providing the overall project, but is something that, again, will improve leisure provision in the town and surrounding villages.

I wish everyone a happy and prosperous New Year.

Until next month. paul@pauldendle.com

Home-Start Offering support and friendship for families By Lynn Smith Sometimes even the most dedicated parents can face challenges that prevent them doing all they want for their children.

When those recognisable parental issues of sleep deprivation, juggling work and finances, or isolation are added to a mix of other factors such as physical ill health, depression or domestic abuse, the world for these families can become overwhelming. Fortunately, voluntary organisation HomeStart is there to offer support.

An independent registered charity, Home-Start is committed to promoting the welfare of families with at least one child under five years of age and believes children need a happy and secure childhood and that parents play the key role in giving their children a good start in life and helping them achieve their full potential. The Home-Start schemes started in 1973 with the first Sussex based scheme established in 1998 - CHAMS, covering Crawley, Horsham and MidSussex, was closely followed by the Worthing & Adur and the Arun schemes. Chichester & District began supporting families in 2008. Sadly, the Worthing & Adur scheme recently closed due to lack of funds.

Lois Rowlands and Bridget Richardson are Managers of Home-Start schemes – Lois became Manager of Home-Start Chichester & District at the beginning of this year, having been a Home-Start volunteer prior to this, she is also a trustee for a national breastfeeding charity (La Leche League GB); whilst Bridget came to Home-Start Arun from Victim Support and from having spent many years working with the Body Shop and the Body Shop Foundation. Both women agree that every year Home-Start receives far more referrals than it has the resources to support.

Lois illustrates this fact: “Arun, with the largest district population in West Sussex, appears in the 2014 Index of Multiple Deprivation as having two wards in the top ten percent, and three in the top twenty percent most deprived areas of England.” A statistic echoed by Bridget, “In Chichester a rising number of

families were identified as vulnerable by health visitors and social services. Three of the four wards in Chichester are also identified with a high index of multiple deprivations. Many of the families that we support in the north of our area (Chichester & District) experience rural isolation, poor and expensive transport links and difficulty accessing shops and services.“ Whilst, from the outside, West Sussex may be viewed as an affluent county, there are many families – from all areas of the county – who have little support locally and need a little help when times get tough.

Home-Start’s model is a simple one - that of one parent supporting another, but underlying this is a more complex blend of trust, confidence, self-esteem, coping and wellbeing. Services offered include home visiting, helping parents to access local services and Family Groups where parents can meet, talk and create their own local support network. Lois and Bridget know that early intervention works, and recognise the importance of a whole family approach. They believe that the Home-Start approach is unique: “… because the support and friendship we offer to families through our volunteers is absolutely tailored to the needs of the individual.”

They also believe that “ … listening is the greatest gift volunteers can give to families, many of whom may never have had the chance to talk openly about their feelings.” Volunteers visit a family for two to three hours a week to offer emotional and practical support and guidance, and Lois says that, “Many ‘matches’ continue as life-long friendships.”

Kelly first sought help from Home-Start over fourteen years ago and over the years the Family Group has helped support and protect her children from an abusive ex-partner and to build bridges within her family.

She says that being listened to “helped me to understand why I felt so low and what I should do to repair these feelings.” She is now taking West Sussex Council courses to be a support group volunteer and hopes to, eventually, volunteer for Home-Start, “and give back a little of what I’ve received.”

Home-Start works alongside other statutory services amongst them: West Sussex Think Family and the Early Help teams; they take referrals from health visitors, Children's Centre Family Support Workers, midwives, social workers and community nursery nurses. They also take a number of self-referrals each year. Lois puts the importance of their work into perspective when she confirms that, “Since the year 2000 in excess of 3,000 children and their families have been supported by Home-Start Arun. In the last year alone, our volunteers have supported 134 families and their 286 children.“ Whilst Bridget says: “Last year Chichester & District supported 96 families and their 205 children.” 175 families were supported across CHAMS. Each Home-Start scheme is self-funded and, as with most charities, fund-raising is a vital tool in the organisations survival kit. Lois explains the reality, “ … we are each individual charities applying to trusts, county, town and parish councils and personal donations from the community, alongside the more traditional fundraising methods.”

28 Local Charity / Finance Looking ahead, Lois Rowlands says that, “Arun has been successful with both the Big Lottery Fund and Children in Need in the last few months, but this success still means finding a further 45 percent of our budget from other means.” Chichester & District, which survived a major fundraising crisis in 2014 by restructuring its staff team and reducing staff hours, is also part funded by a grant from BBC Children in Need and is Bridget says, “Planning a prestigious art exhibition and sale in October 2017.”

At Home-Start’s core are its staff and volunteers. Lois says that finding enough volunteers to cover all of the referrals received is another issue the charity faces, and that staff can support only a certain number of volunteers safely, so funds are needed to recruit.

Volunteers undertake 40 hours of training, covering topics such as safeguarding, confidentiality, bereavement, depression and the power of play.

Volunteers come with a range of parenting skills budgeting, cooking, managing twins and triplets, coping with post-natal depression. Gill has been a HomeStart volunteer for over six years and is convinced that, “Thanks to the excellent preparatory course followed by the continuous support and supervision of the Home-Start team, including recognising their prowess at matching volunteers to families, it is very rare not to achieve positive outcomes.”

Volunteers also help out in the office and hold fund-

raising events, doing vital work that keeps essential funds coming into the charity’s coffers. Lois says that also behind the scenes are the Trustees, whom she describes as, “A small, dedicated group who ensure the highest standards are upheld and that the governance of our scheme complies with the Charity Commission standards and those we set ourselves to give the very best support to our community’s children.” The charity is always looking to attract people who have the skills and dedication required to work as a trustees, particularly skills in areas such as Human Resources and IT. When asked what the greatest challenge faced by Home-Start, Lois and Bridget concur: “Long-term sustainability is the key for all charities right now. Without it our staff and volunteers have no stability, and our families face an uncertain future of support.”

Planning for 2017

By Richard Cohen JP FPFS ACII MCSI Chartered Financial Planner If there’s one thing that 2016 taught us it was to expect the unexpected. At the start of the year Donald Trump was a billionaire reality TV star with a fantasy of being president, Mark Carney (the Governor of Bank of England) was talking about when interest rates would rise and no one had even heard of the term Brexit.

Look at how things have changed twelve months on.

2017 brings its own set off accepted norms, predictions and, I expect, some surprises. These unexpected events will all impact people’s finances for better or worse and cause people to update the plans they have for their future. Benjamin Franklin said “If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail” and its driven into us how important planning for the future is. I think it’s also important to remember the words of less often quoted Mike Tyson “Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth”.

Doggedly sticking to a plan regardless of how the world is changing is rarely sensible and it’s definitely important to update your plans to adapt to changing circumstances. A good plan will factor in that things

may not turn out exactly as you hoped. In the case of planning your finances, you may purchase insurance against unlikely but undesirable events or diversify your portfolio to include investments that will perform well when the rest is performing poorly.

With a well-constructed, adaptable and balanced plan there should be no need to panic with every piece of news. As the Brexit and US election results became apparent, we saw billions made and lost in markets around the world, only for most markets to end up roughly where they started within a week. That’s not to say these events do not have long term consequences, it’s just that they will take time to play out.

It’s rarely going to be apparent on the next day or even the next month what the long term implications will be.

Perhaps 2016 has taught us to expect the unexpected and the unexpected thing about 2017 will be it all runs as expected. www.nsurefinancial.co.uk or to arrange a free review please call Sarah Gray on 01903 821010

In Your Garden Monthly gardening ideas and tasks by Andrew Staib of Glorious Gardens countless insects and amphibians.

A lot of people think ponds are a lot of work but if you are not interested in keeping fish and thus need the water filtered or pumped for a water feature there is not that much to do. When you put plants in them carefully research whether they won’t spread too much and every so often scoop the pond weed off the surface of the water. Once every 5 -7 years you can empty a good amount of water and take out any silt that has collected at the bottom.

Designing a Wildlife Garden

Compost

The news can be depressing about the destruction of nature the world over and the UK has seen a massive decline in most species since the 50s with loss of habitat as the greatest single cause. Every couple of years a plant species becomes extinct in the UK alone.

You can buy barrels that are above ground with a stand that allows you to turn them which moves the compost around and aerates the material. This is the most effective way to compost plus there is no rodent problems. And what a joy to know the potato peelings

However private gardens account for nearly 20% of our urban landscape and they are the one place that is in our control to nurture and encourage wildlife.

They can be our small but important way to contribute to what we love and there is nothing more satisfying than planting a shrub and seeing it feed a dozen or so different insects with its pollen and sap or see birds eat the berries of a tree we planted a year ago.

Hard Landscaping Think hard about hard landscaping. Many gardens change ownership every decade and often one garden is pulled out and another put in its place. You can try bark paths rather than paved ones, decking from sustainable pine trees rather than sandstone all the way from India or shingle rather than cement. Also rather than buy oak materials (it is highly unlikely that oak is being re planted as quickly as it is being used and most of it is coming from what is left of oak forests in Eastern Europe) Julia Young, the manager of WWF’s Global Forest and Trade Network programme at WWF-UK recently said: “We purchased goods (oak) from 17 companies, and not one could provide evidence that they had carried out sufficient due diligence.

Ponds Ponds are powerhouses of nature, not just providing water to drink and wash but are also the home to

Trees, shrubs and Perennials

tasks include not buying peat based composts of which there are surprising amount that still do in your local garden centre.

When you chose your next plant, you can think of its food and shelter giving properties.

Collect rainwater

Medium trees for the garden- the top supermarket of trees are Rowan, Malus, Yew and Buddlea.

The more we can use rainwater from our roves the less dams have to be built and maintained and the more money you will save if your water is metered. Also if you are topping up your pond it is best to use rainwater to avoid the chlorine and lime in the tap water.

Shrubs can include Skimmia, Catoneaster and Pyracantha.

Perennials with fragrant flowers are good- like Knautia, Scabios, Helenium, Rudbekia, Chives, Roses and Lavender.

The RHS online also has a comprehensive list of plants that are good for pollinators.

Boxes Bee boxes, hedgehog boxes, bird boxes and bat boxesmake your garden into a veritable city of homes for wildlife.

Peat Other environmentally friendly

Wild Spaces You can leave a bit of your lawn uncut. You would be amazed at how many little bugs love the privacy and edible seed heads of long grass. Plus it looks good and a swath of long grass is an antidote to having to be in complete control of everything in our lives!

36 Gardening great percentage of the weeds down, keeps the moisture in the soil so less need to water plus it improves the soil so after a few years even the most clay solid new bed starts to develop a good structure.

What to do in January

Leave the leaves in the beds this year Hard to do but leaving the leaves about allows all sorts of hibernating insects to burrow away and hide till the Spring. Leaving old piles of logs in the corner can also provide homes for the bigger creatures including hedgehogs.

 The biggest jobs are the pruning of deciduous plants like Roses, Wysteria and fruit trees.

You can see your self as only partially owning your garden, and that the thousands of fungi, millions of ants and wood lice, bees, birds, bats and voles also need a home. Like a benevolent King or Queen you can provide a rich and pleasant land where there is enough for everyone!

The best place to go is Youtube for Pruning!

Example- If you type in “Pruning a small apple tree” you will get all sorts of well meaning gardeners showing you what they do. Choose to listen to an expert and you quickly can tell. Also make sure the apple tree looks like your one as there are different types.

Where to visit this January If you want to walk off those extra Xmas calories you can take a trip up to Kew Gardens. They have such a huge range of trees even in the middle of winter there is so much to see. Plus you can hang out in the cafes or Tropical Greenhouse for a warm break. They also have after dark tours.

 Also in January you can sow in your greenhouse all sorts of vegetables ready to be transplanted in Spring into your plot.  Plus you can start to force your Rhubarb by placing as big a pot as you can find over the heads.
