On Tuesday 18 October thousands of young people around the UK will be given the opportunity to learn how to help restart the heart of someone who has suffered a cardiac arrest with the support of The British Heart Foundation, St John Ambulance, and The British Red Cross along with all regional Ambulance Services. The aim is to train more than 100,000 young people how to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on that day and volunteer trainers are invited to participate, whilst schools can participate in number of ways – by registering for free online training, using free Call Push Rescue training kit or having a volunteer deliver a training session to them on the day.

The Panel, which met in July, supports and scrutinises the work of Sussex Police and Crime Commissioner Katy Bourne. Members focussed on changes that came into force on the day of the meeting and give PSCOs in Sussex additional powers to allow them to deal with antisocial behaviour caused by alcohol, take statements and carry out some investigation work. The next Sussex Police and Crime Panel meeting will be held on Friday, September 23 at County Hall in Lewes.

Seaford College Community Day - ‘The Big Day Out’ More than 500 students and staff took part in Seaford’s fourth annual community action day, known as the Big Day Out, at over 40 different loca- Rescuing Hedgehogs tions in Sussex and Hampshire helping with a variety of environmental and social causes. Headmaster John Green, who created the initiative, said: “The main idea is to make a positive difference to the surrounding community.

Due to the success of our annual action day, Wednesday afternoons are now blocked out in the timetable for weekly community events. Our students are extremely fortunate to study and live in such a beautiful part of the country – it is only right that they put something back.”

Amongst the many projects undertaken, pupils tackled tasks at the Aldingbourne Country Centre, a trust dedicated to helping those with learning disabilities; helped clean out a storeroom at the Chichester-based homeless charity Stonepillow; and lent a helping hand to residents at the Whyke Estate in Chichester – cleaning windows, washing cars, clearing gardens and picking up litter.

Wood Exhibition At Horsham Museum’s new exhibition Going with the Grain, living material is transformed into sensual, exotic bowls, multi-layered strata like layers morph into curvaceous organic formed wall hangings, and furniture celebrates rather than hides the fascinating grain.

Visit this exhibition, and be astounded at the complex and intricate patterns of the bowls or sculptural designs by John Plater, who uses so-called defects such as burrs, whorls and staining to great effect.

Be transfixed by the work of Paul Baden who creates wooden lattice structures or figurines, by expertly layering different woods to create patterns like contours on a map. And be inspired

by Colin Norgate’s fabulous furniture and household pieces – as decorative as they are functional, each piece is individually crafted to perfection using traditional methods. The exhibition Going With the Grain opens on 22 July and runs until 9 September 2016.

Horsham Museum & Art Gallery is open MondaySaturday 10am – 5pm. Free Admission. For more information: www.horshammuseum.org

Household Waste Recycling Sites At a recent meeting, WSCC Councillors discussed making a number of changes to local Household Waste Recycling Sites (HWRSs). The views of more than 4,800 residents were taken into consideration as part of the proposals following the biggest response to a consultation the council has ever run.

WSCC needs to make savings of more than £18million next year and these proposed changes follow a review of the authority’s waste service.

Following feedback from residents, the Council’s Environmental and Community Services Select Committee must decide whether to change a number of parameters including - opening times and days of HWRSs, and introducing charges for non-household waste disposal. It is anticipated the proposals would save about £2million a year if they are all approved. www.westsussex.public-i.tv/core/portal/ webcast_interactive/231762

Sussex Community Foundation Trust Matching donors to needy people and causes. By Veronica Cowan This year the Sussex Community Foundation Trust - which awards grants to charities and community groups in Sussex, in four general grant rounds per year, and manages funds on behalf of a range of Kevin Sussex donors, conRichmond necting them to CEO groups and communities they want to support - celebrates its tenth birthday this year. The Duke of Richmond, who founded the trust, thought the establishment of such a foundation would highlight the smaller charities and community groups that are often overlooked when local people and companies think about giving to charity, but perhaps can’t identity where the need is. He said at the time. “Sussex Community Foundation has been set up to bridge this gap and to make it easy for local people and companies to give to local communities.”

The Duke brought together a small steering group of

people from across the county, and following an extensive feasibility study, a number of individuals, companies and trusts were approached to become founderdonors. Their support funded the initial costs of setting up the organisation. Kevin Richmond was appointed as its first Chief Executive, and explains further: "The Duke of Richmond and Gordon had the idea to set up [the Foundation] in 2006 because he felt that many people see Sussex as a wealthy county which, in places, it is. However, there are some areas of Sussex that are in the top 10% most deprived in the UK. There are also many donors who wish to give locally.”

The project started with enough funds secured to cover three years’ running costs, and the Foundation’s record in the past ten years has been impressive, in that it has given a massive £10 million in grants. The deprivation is still there, and this autumn, the Foundation will be updating, and relaunching, a report it commissioned in 2013 - Sussex Uncovered - which revealed the hidden disadvantage existing in the county.

Mr. Richmond grew up in Somerset but fell in love with Sussex and Brighton, in particular, when he went to Sussex University at the age of 18. He has worked in a wide range of local and national charities, and was director of the Carers Centre for Brighton & Hove from 1999 to 2006. The Foundation, with its opportunity to put generous donors in touch with needy people and causes, was an attractive move for him: “Happily, we can bring donors together with the causes, charities and community groups they wish to support,” he said. Do they find it easy to get ambassadors? “We have found that many people are attracted to the Foundation, either as donors or other sorts of supporters, when they see what a great and quite unique sort of organisation it is, Mr. Richmond comments, adding: “We can maximise a donor’s charitable giving and put them in touch with smaller local charities and community groups across Sussex that they wish to support.”

A recent example of this is the Sussex Lund grants programme, launched by Peter Baldwin and Lisbet Rausing, which is a collaboration between their charitable fund, Lund, and Sussex Community Foundation.

It aims to support small-scale, practical projects that improve the ecology and landscape of the High Weald, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Charities, community groups, schools, churches, councils, farmers, landowners and anyone with a good idea about progressing this project were invited to apply for a grant of between £500 and £10,000. It attracted over 50 applications, and whilst the first call for applications has now closed, it will be open for applications again in the Spring of 2017.

30 Local Charity Other local grant recipients include Liaise @ Frontline, which provides free help and advice about debt and welfare benefit entitlements, at drop-in centres in Petworth and Storrington.

This charity received a Competing in the Regional RDA grant o f Countryside Challenge £1,000 last year. Home Start Arun, whose volunteers visit families at home, giving practical and emotional support, which is directed at improving life chances for vulnerable children, received £5,000. And the healing power of animals was recognised when Hope in the Valley Riding for the Disabled Association received a grant of £973 last December. This charity caters for physically disabled children aged between 3 -16 and was delighted to “receive a generous award from the Noel Bennett Fund through the Sussex Community Founda-

SUSSEX LOCAL tion,” said Liz Mills, its Honorary Secretary.

So how did they use the grant funding?

“We spent the money on the upkeep of our ponies, without [which] we would not be able to function at all.

Keeping and caring for ponies becomes more expensive every year and donations such as this are vital to our continuing existence. Items covered include shoeing, feed, grazing and routine vet bills,” explained Ms. Mills.

The Foundation doesn't want to rest on its laurels, and Mr. Richmond believes there is still much more it could do. Accordingly, its target for the next four years is to reach a total of £17.5 million in endowment funds for Sussex and to give out £1.5 million in grants each year. He notes in a recent Newsletter

In Your Garden Monthly gardening ideas and tasks by Andrew Staib of Glorious Gardens If not you could think about a Rose covered Arbour, a live Willow chamber, creating a canopy with a weeping feature tree or a Summer house with a fridge full of cold drinks - you can even get lovely ‘Gypsey’ wooden caravans on line. You could even create a room with hedging inside your garden where you can sit and connect back to yourself away from the tugs of war of daily life!

Step 3.

Can you introduce curved paths and classical shapes like old pots and vases that give your space a gravity that hints of a time gone by, or the time that is timeless.

Creating more Romance in your Garden and therefore in your Life.

Design a Romantic Garden for Yourself...

Is your garden looking stale with barren or empty areas? Is it a place that continually invites you into its’ arms? Can your garden reflect the values you have about life and what is important?

If not why not suffuse it with more romance?

A place where lovers meet, a space to let yourself be overwhelmed with the sensuality of nature and where mysterious nooks and crannies can lead to a meditation on beauty and impermanence!

Step 1.

Are all your 5 senses delighted?  The fragrance of climbing Roses, Chamomile paths and Lavender.  The sound of gushing water and the wind in tall grasses.  The furry touch of Lamb’s Ear and glossy Fatsia leaves.  The sight of Romantic colour combinations.  The taste of Grapes, Fennel, Apples and Chives.

Step 2.

For a trist with your loved one or to feel your love of nature in quiet contemplation ask yourself: is the seating cosy with a sense of intimacy.

Step 4.

Can you let your romantic planting design be more relaxed and spontaneous like a summer party where the guests are slightly tipsy and people merrily bump into each other?

Where to go in August This is your very last chance to see Chiltern Lodge this year. An exquisite garden developed by Lady Collum for over 40 years, it features a series of interlocking rooms, each one with a different purpose and feel- a herb garden, pool room, water rill room and classical sandstone summer house.

Look to abundant planting like tall ornamental grasses, Allium heads, Day Lillies , the scrabble of Nasturtiums and wild Geraniums.

You can let your Wysteria be a bit more wild, let Roses climb up all the big trees and drainpipes, allow great heavy headed Peonies to flop about without stakes, and intersperse the planting with intense bright colour spots of Poppies, Delphiniums and Phlox- and of course lots of shrub Roses.

To create a Romantic garden you need to ask yourself ‘what does love look like?’ -and then make this happen!

A beautiful water feature reflecting the still heart of all things, a hot coloured flower border full of passion and generosity, a well crafted seat for two tucked away from the house catching the evening sun where

The garden is lovingly tended with an eye for detail and simple colour palettes.

It is open to the public just a few days of the year so put the date in your diary now.

What to do in August Obviously keep up the watering in sustained hot weather Top up the mulch to retain moisture and keep weeds down (don’t forget they kept on growing until Xmas last year!)

Keep pinching out your tomatoes and sowing new rills of lettuce, radishes and spinach

Time to prune the bigger shrubs that have just finished flowering like Wygelia, Philadelpus, and Sprirea- cut out the old flowering wood back to new growth that next year’s flowers will bloom from Mow your lawn on a higher setting now to keep moisture in the grass to help mitigate against summer browning in dry spells Apply a nitrogen feed if Red Thread fungus is taking over your lawn

38 Village Hall

Pulborough Village Hall Celebrating it’s 20 year anniversary this September On the 6th of September this year, Pulborough Social Centre (Pulborough Village Hall – as it is known) will be celebrating 20 years since it first opened its doors to the public. A very popular venue with an average of 1,000 people using the facilities on offer every week.

This replaced the much loved old Village Hall, which many of you will remember was situated next door to the Oddfellows Arms in Lower Street. The building had sadly become beyond economical repair, following storm damage in October 1987.

The ‘new’ hall is located in Swan view, just south of the library, where you will find a large, modern building with four halls of various sizes and meeting room for hire, plus a dance studio, all with disabled access; three kitchens, including one ‘industrial’ sized, complete with a new push-through dishwasher, hot cupboard and newly purchased commercial gas cooker.

Two of the main halls (and meeting room) have amazing, uninterrupted views over Pulborough Brooks and the South Downs, making it an ideal venue for wedding receptions and family celebrations. Another good sized hall comes with its own enclosed courtyard.

The hall has charitable status and as such, is overseen by a board of specially appointed (volunteer) Trustees, representing some of our founding member groups and the Parish Council.

The hall is run on a day to day basis by a dedicated and enthusiastic team, headed up by Manager Denise , Assistant Manager Bev and five other part-time

MOT Test Lane at LMC

For most of us, motor repairs and MOT tests are a unwelcome necessity in day to day life.

At LMC Auto Services Owner Lee Cripps aims to offer first class service at competitive prices. He told Sussex Local that he and his fully qualified team of mechanics endeavour to maintain a high quality of workmanship coupled with a genuine aspiration to help the motorist.

Lee thinks that little extras, such as free collection and delivery within 20 miles, free vehicle wash with a service and an online discount on MOTs, keep his customers happy - and happy customers recommend others. LMC will also be opening a motorcycle MOT lane in the near future - so watch this space!

After an apprenticeship and four years of study Lee started LMC as a mobile mechanic with his trusty Escort van! The company has now been at their current spacious premises at the Station Approach Estate in Pulborough for over five years.

suspension, cam belts and exhausts together with engine/gearbox rebuilds and electrical diagnosis.

44 Parish Council News

West Chiltington Parish Council Internal Audit - Mulberry & Co are the parish council’s internal auditors. The purpose of internal audit is to review and report to the council whether its systems of financial and other internal controls over its activities and operating procedures are effective.

Internal audit’s role is to assist the council in fulfilling its responsibility to have and maintain proper internal control arrangements and those for the prevention and detection of fraud, error or mistakes.

Following the visit of the Internal Auditor in April, the Council was pleased to learn that the overall systems and procedures in place are entirely fit for purpose and, in many respects, a model of good practice.

The audit was conducted in accordance with current practices and guidelines and testing was conducted in line with the inherent risks assessment.

The following areas were covered. Review of: Financial Regulations, Risk Assessments, Budgeting Process, Proper Bookkeeping, Income, Salaries, Fixed Assets, Trust information, End of year accounts Only two minor items were identified for review, both of which have been completed.

Skate Park Plans for the replacement of the skate park at

the recreation ground have progressed following a SurveyMonkey survey carried out, to which there were 61 responses. Most of the responses were positive and supportive of a new facility. We have been lucky to be supported by a small group of younger residents who have a keen interest in the facility who are now working with our approved contractor Radaii Ramps to develop the scheme to a final design proposal. Our former Locum Parish Clerk, Sam Shippen, is progressing an application for funding and we are hopeful that installation will happen in September.

New Parish Clerk The Council is pleased to welcome our new permanent Parish Clerk, Anna Chambers, who started with us on 27th June 2016. She is new to the world of parish councils but joins us with a wealth of administrative and management experience. We wish her well as she settles into her new role. The Parish Office will now be open regularly on a Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday 10am-12noon and 2pm3pm. Anna can be contacted on 01798 817434 or wcpcclerk@aol.com.

Tax on savings Sarah from Monks on the new Personal Savings Allowance Bank interest rates are predicted to reach new lows following the Brexit vote as talk of further interest rate cuts are mooted. However, there is a silver lining as many taxpayers won’t have to pay Income Tax on their savings income. In the current 2016-17 tax year, taxpayers with total taxable income of less than £16,000 will have no interest to pay on their savings. This figure is based on the starting rate limit for savings of £5,000 added to the current personal allowance figure of £11,000. However, where non-savings income exceeds the personal allowance the savings Income Tax band is gradually reduced to zero.

Of more relevance to most taxpayers, will be the introduction of the new Personal Savings Allowance (PSA) on 6 April 2016. For basic-rate taxpayers the first £1,000 interest on savings income is tax-free. For higher-rate taxpayers the tax-free personal savings allowance will be £500. Anyone earning over £150,000 will not benefit from the new PSA. Taken together, basic taxpayers with a total taxable income of £17,000 or less will have no tax to pay on their savings income (note that earned income i.e. not savings interest must be £11,000 or less).

Interest from savings products such as ISA’s and ‘premium bond wins’ do not count towards the new limit. A basic-rate

taxpayer with ISA interest and premium bond wins can still benefit in full from the relevant PSA limits.

Given the low interest rate environment, it is worth reviewing the interest rates you are earning on any savings to ensure that they are at or near the top of the interest rate charts. It is also important to bear in mind the current £75,000 bank deposit guarantee limit. The limit is per depositor per bank.
