Hello & welcome!

Happy New Year! This is the time to reflect on all

that has passed in 2022, take stock of what we

have achieved, things we could’ve done better

and how we can improve our lives as we go into

2023.

It is true to say life has become tough, but these

external influences which could either drag

us down, or we find the inner strength to find

positive thoughts, words and actions to help us

through.

Congratulations to Julia Woodward who won the

Christmas hamper kindly donated by Waitrose

Beaconsfield. The store does some amazing

community work and if you see the lady selling

The Big Issue outside, please do go and speak

to her. If you can’t afford to buy the magazine - a

kind word and smile goes a long way.

Daily gratitude for what we have in this life keeps

us grounded and if we try and help others as

much as we can, this will surely bring us good

health, happiness and abundance.

its doors in

Beaconsfield

New Town

Florence Nightingale Hospice Charity will

be opening the doors to its newest shop,

on The Broadway, in January.

The shop promises to bring high-quality,

sustainable shopping to Beaconsfield

with a range of premium preloved fashion,

homeware, toys & more.

All the profits from the shop will go direct to

the charity, which is dedicated to delivering

the best hospice care for everyone who needs

it across Buckinghamshire and its borders,

wherever and whenever they need it –

whether that’s at the Hospice in Aylesbury

or, increasingly, in patients’ home, including

right here in Beaconsfield.

Lily Caswell, Head of Retail for Florence

Nightingale Hospice Charity, tell us “We’re

thrilled to be coming to Beaconsfield, bringing

with us sustainable shopping and raising

awareness of the work our charity does in

Buckinghamshire.“

The charity is hopeful the January opening

will result in plentiful donations of stock as

people clear out their cupboards and

wardrobes this New Year. Florence Nightingale

Hospice Charity is also seeking volunteers

to help make the shop a success – if you

would like to make a difference for your local

community in 2023 you can find out more by

visiting www.fnhospice.org.uk/retailvolunteer

or calling 01296 429975.

The new Florence Nightingale Hospice

Charity shop is located at 14 The Broadway,

COMMUNITY NEWS

Mind Buckinghamshire

We are Bucks Mind, the mental health

charity and our vision is that everyone

with a mental health problem gets

support and respect.

We deliver services in our local communities,

in Buckinghamshire and East Berkshire. We

promote wellbeing and recovery; we prevent

mental ill health; we offer talking therapies and

we provide support in times of crisis.

We are an independent charity that is proud to

be affiliated with national Mind.

Could you help us? We are always looking

to recruit more volunteers, particularly in our

Befriending service, which involves meeting or

calling and supporting someone each week for

around 6 months.

We work with anyone over 18 years and try

to use the volunteer’s skills and experience to

benefit the service user. An understanding of

mental health issues would be helpful, but we

offer regular training and development sessions

and ongoing support, if needed. We recognise

that everyone’s mental health is important and

we are here for all.

We match volunteers with someone that we

really feel they will get on with and be able to

help, to make the experience worthwhile and

enjoyable for them, as well as the person they

befriend.

Please do call us on 01494 463364 for more

info or see our website www.bucksmind.org.uk

where you can complete our application form.

Volunteers needed

Do you have free time, skills or experience to share?

Could you make a difference to the lives of people

with a mental health problem?

Beaconsfield WI celebrates Diwali!

Having celebrated Diwali, we have plans

to celebrate Christmas with a meal and

entertainment.

We meet once a month at 7-30pm in St Teresa’s

Parish Hall on the third Monday of the month. Also

available to members are a Craft Club, a Book Club

and a Walking Group.

Outings have included a Gin tasting, a visit to see the

Strictly Dancing dresses being made and a visit to the

Foundling Museum in London.

During the year we have supported Wycombe

Woman’s Aid with fund raising and in more practical

ways.

Community issues are also supported. We have

campaigned for a Refill Water Fountain in the centre

of the town, to remind people to use less plastic

bottles, and taken part in the Mosaic project to

brighten up the town and to thank the many

people who supported the town during the Covid

pandemic.

LOCAL BUSINESS

Give your new

year detox the

green light

With research indicating that indoor air

pollution is over 3 times more polluted than

outdoor air pollution in the UK and 45% of

homes are showing significantly increased

levels of Volatile Organic Compounds (found

in many home cleaning and personal care

products), we asked a local eco-friendly

business, Eco-Homemaker, their thoughts

on this.

“With two young

children ourselves,

we know that for

parents there’s

nothing more

important than

creating a safe

environment and

taking care of health

and hygiene in their

homes. But whilst

many of us think a

clean house means

a safe house, we are often not made aware of the

harmful toxins and chemicals found in our high street

cleaning and personal care products.” Victoria,

co-founder explains. “Sadly, this is evident when

you look at your cleaning product labels and find

‘hazardous’ or ‘corrosive’ warnings. With the new year

detox period upon us, now is a great time to reflect

on how you can make small changes that could make

a significant impact on you and your family’s health.”

Eco-Homemaker’s top tips to detox your home:

• Use naturally derived surface cleaning products

and look out for non-toxic sprays and bleach

alternatives

• Replace your washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets

and rinse aid in your kitchens with naturally derived

alternatives

• Use plastic-free cloths, sponges and where

possible replace plastic bottles/containers with glass,

stainless steel, ceramic or wood

• Use soaps and shampoo bars made only with

naturally derived ingredients

• Go for natural materials where possible in the

bedroom – wooden bed frames, a mattress or

topper made of natural materials, natural fibres for

bed linen, sheets, duvets and pillows

• Use toxin free paints and stains for walls and

furniture

Eco-Homemaker, an online shopping platform, is on

a mission to make your life easier when it comes to

eco-friendly shopping for your family. They stock

refillable non-toxic cleaning products such as a

bleach alternative, anti-bac surface cleaners, oven

cleaner, glass cleaner and floor cleaner – and all have

been meticulously tried and tested so you can be

assured of their effectiveness.

GET MONEY

SMART!

How to save money and access help- news from Citizens Advice Bucks

At Citizens Advice Bucks we know times are hard and

people are struggling with the cost of living. We are

doing the best we can to help. Part of this help is our

Money Matters project.

Money Matters is a FREE financial education

programme. The project aims to give people the

confidence, knowledge and tools to help avoid debt

and manage crises.

Financial capability-or being ‘money smart’- is often

not taught in schools and not being money smart can

make life more difficult, expensive, unstable and

stressful than it otherwise would be, especially for

people living on a low income.

By joining this course- which is delivered in small

bitesize, easy to follow 30 minute sessions, the

learner gains access to information & support early

on and finds access to services should they need

them. These sessions aim to financially empower

people by allowing them to take control of their

Household Costs to learn how to manage, track

and reduce your outgoings by identifying your

needs and wants.

Insurance for understanding how to protect

yourself from financial risk(s)

Banking to be able to distinguish between

different types of accounts, payment

methods and features available

Budgeting & Income Maximisation can help

to identify ways to increase your income and

reduce your spending by budgeting

Tax & Employment helps us to understand

our payslips, pensions & tax codes

Savings & Investments to establish different

types of investments and ways to save.

Credit & Borrowing helps us to evaluate the true

cost of borrowing and products available.

Debt to learn about the implications of not

paying bills and how to manage and cope

LOCAL CARE

Will you have enough money to look

after yourself in later life?

This is something that everybody needs

to consider. Often, it is an awkward

and difficult question to have honest

conversations with family about.

Now, more than ever, it is important to consider

how much money you need to continue to live

comfortably.

Many people assume they will need to sell their

home and move into a residential care home if

family is no longer living nearby and can’t be on

hand to help. If every day tasks are becoming

too much, then ask your local council for a care

needs assessment. This works out what would

help people remain independent at home. With

permission, GPs or district nurses can refer you.

If your local council agrees you are eligible for

support, they will do a means test, taking into

account income and savings (Certain types of

funding may not be counted).

If you are eligible for financial support to pay for

home care, your local council can arrange care, or

you can choose to receive direct payments and

select your own home careprovider. Costs for

home care vary across the country.

Energy saving tips for your home

Some of these energy-saving tips may seem

obvious but they can make a big difference

when it comes to reducing your fuel bill.

Set your heating to come on just before you get up

and switch off after you’ve gone to bed. If it’s very

cold, set your heating to come on earlier and turn

off later rather than turning the thermostat up.

• If you can’t heat all the rooms you use, heat the

living room throughout the day and your bedroom

just before you go to bed. Remember to close

curtains and shut doors to keep heat in the rooms

you use most.

• Consider adding draft excluders to maximise the

heat in the house and minimise drafts and cold

getting in.

• If your heating system uses storage heaters, make

sure that are set up in the most efficient way possible.

You can use this guide to do so.

There’s really useful advice in the Keep Warm Keep

Well booklet produced by the Government. This

booklet aims to help you maintain good health

during winter and take advantage of the financial

help and benefits available. It is aimed at over

60s, low-income families, and people living with

a disability.

EYE NEWS

Eyes on 2023

If you eat well and keep fit, have you

considered what more you can do for

your vision and the health of your eyes?

Your eyesight is the most precious of your

senses, so it makes sense to look after it.

Start with a diet rich in fruit, vegetables and grains.

Omega 3 (found in salmon, tuna and sardines) can

reduce the risk of eye disease and helps with tear

function. Vitamin A (carrots, sweet potatoes and

apricots) are good for your retina. Vitamin C (found in

citrus fruits, red peppers, tomatoes and strawberries)

help repair cells and protect the body. Make sure

you have regular sight tests - usually every 2

years (unless you are a child or have certain health

conditions: such as Diabetes or Glaucoma). Look

out for sudden changes in your vision particularly

flashes or floaters, which may need further checking.

Any sudden change in your vision or light sensitivity

should be looked at promptly.

Make sure you make the most of your vision. As

an Optician for many years I’m puzzled why, when

advising a patient that their vision can be improved

they respond that they are happy with their contact

lenses or glasses. Who wouldn’t want to have the

best vision they could ?

Always ask your opticians what they would

recommend. Reading lenses have a fixed, shorter

working distance, but with phones, tablets, laptops

and hobbies most of us require a longer range than a

reading lens can give. Office or Occupational lenses

(as they are known) are much better for modern-day

activities. Newer contact lens designs and materials

can improve vision and longevity of lens wear. Above

all, make time for an eye test and listen to your

Optician as they can answer all your eyecare

questions.

Greyhound

owner named

Master of

Culinary Arts

Daniel Crump, co-owner of the Greyhound in

Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire, has been

named as a Master of Culinary Arts (MCA) –

becoming one of just 25 people to have ever

achieved the accolade for service in the UK.

Crump, 33, was presented the award at Claridge’s

hotel in London on Friday 28 October in front of

more than 300 high-profile individuals from across

the hospitality sector, including Michel Roux Jr,

Alain Roux, and Raymond Blanc.

Launched in 1987 and held every four years, the

MCA recognises outstanding craftsmanship in

hospitality. As part of the MCA, professionals are

taken through a rigorous assessment process

and must prove advanced technical skill and

professional ability; demonstrate comprehensive

knowledge of the principles of sustainability

and the viability of our food sources throughout

the scope of the food chain; and support the

development of others.

Crump said: “I could not be prouder to have been

named a Master of Culinary Arts. It’s something

so many hospitality professionals strive to

achieve during their careers. This, along with

opening the Greyhound, is one of the proudest

moments of my career to date.”

On the 26th November,

residents gathered in

the Old Town for the

Town Council’s Christmas

market, to see the Mayor

Cllr Alastair Pike turn

on the Christmas lights,

accompanied by the Town

LEGAL ADVICE

Eyes Up & Forward

How to cope with divorce and separation

The breakdown of a relationship and the separation that follows,

married or not, children or not, is one of the worst times in anyone’s

life – and having to deal with solicitors and the legal process of

untangling your relationship can, if you are not careful, become a

corrosive process.

Having been a divorce lawyer for 27 years, I have seen both

men and women struggle with moving forward – no matter how

amicable and constructive both parties might be. The situation

becomes even harder when one party is making it difficult or

trying to solve old hurts through the separation/divorce/financial

distribution process.

One of the problems I see so often is where clients become

entrenched in a “pain cycle”. The more they “revisit” a negative

aspect of the process, the more deeply they drill into that

negativity, uncovering further layers and spiralling downwards –

sadly very easy to do when you are hurt and your emotions are

already heightened.

The legal process will conclude with the outcome always in the

same range of possibilities, whether you are intensely negative

or intensely positive. How you think about the process and your

former partner, and how you feel at the end of the process, is very

much a matter of perception and your understanding.

However, there are some “tricks of the trade” that can help you

navigate difficulties and come to a resolution that suits you - here

are some ‘top tips’ that have helped my clients:

to be in 3 or 5 years’ time and focus on it – keep your “eyes up”,

looking forward.

Imagine yourself having moved on, in a home you love, spending

time with your children and loved ones, financially secure and able

to be cordial with your ex. This last point is particularly important if

you are going to need to co-parent.

Keep busy - unfortunately, individuals can quickly fall into a pain

cycle if there are no external diversions. For some parties, on

relationship breakdown there is a sudden void. What used to be

time with your partner is now free time. So think about other things

to do – start a new hobby or sport, get back into a pastime you

used to enjoy but have set aside; you can re-establish who you are

now that you have separated.

Avoid emotional vampires - people who feed on negative

processes. They may seem to provide help and support but

actually they are just ‘feeding’ off your situation, very often making

it worse, not better – focusing on negatives and accelerating

hostilities between you and your ex. Take a step back and listen –

is their advice helping, or hindering and conflicting with your

lawyer’s advice.

Seek professional help. The end of a relationship causes

significant changes. Speaking to a properly trained counsellor,

psychotherapist or psychologist is often of real assistance, helping

you understand your situation a little better and less negatively.

People who go through this process invariably have a “nicer”

divorce - they have a better perspective about what is happening

around them.

Constructively applied, these tips could help you get

through a difficult time and come out the other side

exactly where you want to be.

Bring your Cash

ISAs to life!

Millions of pounds still sit inside cash ISAs

earning low rates of return.

The question is, was it a mistake by investing in the

first place? The answer in many cases is no. The

reason is having the option to organise an ISA

transfer, which is effectively moving the tax-free

ISA value across to a product that might be more

appropriate and with the potential for better

returns.

This can involve increasing the investment risk,

however is does not necessarily mean moving

from low to high risk. The most popular choice is

for retirees to move cash ISAs across to an income

portfolio and although this does mean introducing

higher volatility, the income stream from a wellmanaged

portfolio can be extremely consistent,

currently delivering tax free monthly income

above 4%.

often provides an attractive solution using the

following fund profiles:

• Cautious • Moderately Cautious • Balanced

• Moderately Adventurous • Adventurous

What makes this opportunity even more viable

follows the introduction of the new Personal Savings

Allowance (PSA). This is the amount of interest

which can be earned tax free and for a basic rate

payer this amounts to £1,000 per annum. A deposit

account can be seen as an extension to the cash

ISA allowance, leaving your proper ISA open to

find a better home.

A tribute to

David Owen

Readers will be sad to hear of the passing of

long time Beaconsfield resident David Owen,

who died last September at the age of 95.

David was Youth Club Leader at Beaconsfield Youth

Club from 1960 to 1987 at what is now known as the

Curzon Centre. He built the centre up to become a

Youth and Community Centre which not only housed

the Youth Club but also a number of other local

groups such as the Gymnastics Club and the Young

Theatre, as such this was ahead of its time.

He provided a range of activities at the Youth Club

including the Duke of Edinburgh Awards, musical

shows, archery, tennis, netball, five-a-side football,

a weekly disco and big band concerts. He also

organised caving trips and annual holidays abroad.

All of these activities were greatly appreciated by

the young people of Beaconsfield, illustrated by

the wonderful messages that David’s family have

received from ex Youth Club members following the

announcement of his passing. After his retirement

from the Curzon Centre he remained on the Board

of Trustees, a position that he held right up until his

death.

Music played a huge part in David’s life. In particular,

he enjoyed singing and he had a wonderful voice.

David performed at local restaurants and pubs and

in residential and care homes. A particular highlight

came in 2018 when David was 91 and he performed

as the Unexpected Star on Michael McIntyre’s Big

Show at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane. This was a

wonderful surprise for him and he brought the house

down with a fantastic performance of his favourite

song ‘My Way’. When this was broadcast on Saturday

night prime time television, for David this was the

fulfilment of a lifelong dream.

David also passed

his love of music

on to others.

He provided

opportunities for

young people at

Beaconsfield Youth

Club to develop as

performers through

the musical shows

that the Club

produced. After

retirement he

continued his work

with young people

in a voluntary

capacity through

his charity ‘Musical Rendevous’. This was an

organisation that provided opportunities and funding

for young musicians to develop their skills through

performing at concerts organised and compered by

David. A number of young people benefited from

this and went on to become professional artists.

David will be remembered for a long life lived to

the full, for his support for young people, for

bringing entertainment to so many, particularly

those living in care homes, and, of course, for his

wonderful voice.

Climate Emergency

UK reveal how they will

score UK councils on

their climate action

Climate Emergency UK have published

their methodology for scoring all UK councils

on the action they are taking to reduce

greenhouse gas emissions. The Council

Climate Action Scorecards will be the first

comprehensive measurement of councils’

climate action.

The methodology sets out the process Climate

Emergency UK will use to score each council in

2023, based on publicly available information

from councils and national data sets. There will be

a three stage marking process, including a Right

of Reply for all councils.

These Scorecards are a useful tool for campaigners

and councils alike to better understand what

climate action is possible from UK local authorities,

and hold councils to account on their progress.

Climate Emergency UK is revealing the criteria

on which councils will be scored. These criteria

have been created through 9 months of research

and consultation with over 80 organisations and

individuals within the sector. They focus on the

actions that councils have control or influence

over, which have the biggest impact on carbon

emissions and biodiversity loss. The 7 sections

that the Scorecards cover are: Buildings &

Heating, Transport, Governance & Finance,

Planning, Biodiversity, Collaboration &

Engagement and Waste Reduction & Food,

covering a total of 90 questions.

Those consulted include

councillors, council

officers, The Campaign

to Protect Rural England,

Anthesis, Campaign for

Better Transport, Possible,

Keep Britain Tidy

and many more. An

Advisory Group, with

representatives from the

sector including councillors, council officers,

Ashden, mySociety and climate campaign groups

met monthly to provide more in-depth comments

on developing the Scorecards.

Hannah Jewell, Campaigns and Policy Officer at

Climate Emergency UK said “Earlier this year we

published our Climate Action Plan Scorecards,

evaluating every councils; plan for taking climate

action. It is much more of a challenge to score

what council are actually doing, which is why

we have put so much effort into developing this

methodology and we’re excited to share it today.”

“We hope that publishing the methodology

before we start marking will help to ensure that we

score councils as accurately as possible. This gives

councils some time to prepare, and make sure all

those important documents and evidence of their

climate action is publicly available for us to find”.

One of the members of the Advisory Board, Cllr

Donna Stimson (Conservative), Climate Lead

at Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead

Council, said “It’s been a real pleasure working

with Climate Emergency UK on creating the

Scorecards methodology. They have dived deep

into the complexities of local government and

the differences across the UK. This methodology

is a really useful barometer of what climate action

councils could be doing and this methodology

will be a useful tool for climate action officers all

around the country, even before the Scorecard

results come out next year”.

Hannah Jewell added “As the international

climate change conference, COP27 ended a few

weeks back, it is clearer than ever that urgent

climate action at all levels is needed. We believe

that our Scorecards can support systemic change

across UK councils, exemplifying what councils can

do within current constraints that can have a real

impact on their community’s carbon emissions”.

Climate Emergency UK will start scoring councils

on their climate action in January, with the

Scorecard results to be published in Autumn

2023.

Safe & gentle ear wax

removal at a clinic

near you

What is ear wax?

What is it, why do we have it in our ears and why does it sometimes cause hearing loss. Earwax, also known

as cerumen, is produced inside your ears to keep them clean and free of germs. It usually passes out of the

ears harmlessly, but sometimes too much can build up and block the ears.

It protects the skin of the human ear canal, assists in cleaning and lubrication, and also provides

some protection from bacteria, fungi, insects and water. In other words, ear wax is a good thing!

The amount of ear wax that the body produces differs from person to person, the amount

that is retained within the ear also differs for each of us - these differences are for a number

of reasons; Age; Diet; Lifestyle; Personal anatomy; Genetics; Ethnicity.

Many people will produce a small amount of wax their whole lives, which leaves the ear

canal naturally, and never have any problem with it. For others, their ear will produce a larger

amount of wax, which will not fully leave the ear canal and will become blocked, which leads to

them having reduced hearing ability and also a blocked feeling in the ear.
