Lifesaving Lottery 

Scheme Raises Vital 

Charity Funds 

A charity that provides pre-hospital care to critically 

ill and injured patients is thanking generous 

Worcestershire residents for 13 years of support for one 

of its most important fundraising schemes which has 

raised millions of pounds to help fund its vital work... 

Midlands Air Ambulance Charity’s Lifesaving Lottery – which sees 

people pay £1 per week to be in with a chance of winning cash 

prizes of up to £1,000 – marked its thirteenth year in 2022. 

The decade-old fundraiser currently has 70,000 members 

generating more than 96,000 weekly chances in play each 

week – and now the pre-hospital service is asking the public to 

get involved and help the charity reach its milestone target of 

100,000 plays every week. 

Anyone aged 18 years and over can pay monthly, bi-monthly, 

bi-annually or annually and their support will help save countless 

lives in their local area. 

Emma Wood, head of fundraising and marketing at Midlands Air 

Ambulance Charity, said: “Our Lifesaving Lottery scheme has 

been really popular since its launch ten years ago. Thanks to the 

generosity of our supporters, it generated £4.9 million last year 

alone which directly helped to make more than 2,000 missions 

possible. 

“Taking part couldn’t be easier - you can play online via our 

website, call our lottery office on 0844 567 0844 or sign up via 


one of our canvassers who operate across the six counties we 

cover. In doing so, not only will you help raise vital funds for 

our lifesaving pre-hospital service, but you will also be in with a 

chance of scooping the weekly top prize of £1,000.” 

Midlands Air Ambulance Charity operates and funds three air 

ambulances and three critical care cars covering Gloucestershire, 

Herefordshire, Shropshire, Staffordshire, the West Midlands 

and Worcestershire. It costs between £11-12 million a year to 

maintain the charity’s three aircraft and three cars and provide 

a lifesaving service with each air mission costing an average 

of £2,950. Each critical care car mission costs an average of 

£288. Midlands Air Ambulance Charity does not receive any 

government or National Lottery funding and is entirely reliant on 

the support and generosity of local people and businesses. 

Midlands Air Ambulance Charity is licensed and regulated in 

Great Britain by the Gambling Commission under account 

number 42471.

Saving Lives By Saving Time

How the boarding 

sector is prioritising 

mental health 

Boarding house staff strive to create a secure, supportive and nurturing 

environment for students, so there is no wonder boarding schools are 

well placed to prioritise pupil mental health and wellbeing. 

Following a turbulent period of 

uncertainty in the wake of the pandemic, 

mental health and wellbeing has never 

been so important. 

In a recent article on this topic, Andrew 

Russell, Headmaster of St David’s 

College in North Wales said: “When 

parents are looking for the right boarding 

school for their family, three of the most 

important questions they usually have 

are: Where will my child sleep? What 

will they eat? Who will support them? 

In the past, support may have been 

academically focused but now more than 

ever there is a need for pastoral support.” 

(Source: www.ukbsa.com) 

Mental health has long been at the heart 

of the pastoral care package at boarding 

schools. Prioritising pupil wellbeing, 

offering them regular opportunities to talk 

freely about how they feel, and putting 

their welfare at the heart of boarding 

culture allows the potential for children 

truly to flourish. For example, Fettes 

College in Edinburgh instils a “culture 

of openness and acceptance around 

mental health in the school community” 

and Queen Margaret’s School for Girls in 

York states that “…wellbeing is ingrained 

into everything we do, from the pupils’ 

perspective. We have truly been able to 

put our pupils’ wellbeing at the centre of 

our practice.” 

Boarding school is all about learning to 

live with others, experiencing a shared 

space, working together, having extra 

time to try new things and learning to 

stand on your own two feet. All of these 

experiences build a sense of resilience 

and independence. 

Much of this independence and 

confidence comes from being with other 

young people – but it also the support of 

highly trained, caring and professional 

boarding staff who put pupil wellbeing at 

the heart of the boarding experience, to 

ensure that students prosper and thrive 

on solid foundations. 

According to Downe House School, “A 

boarding environment allows a school 

to support the wellbeing of a pupil in 

many real and tangible ways. Sleep is 

so important for all teenagers to enable 

them to function effectively. Boarding 

staff are utterly committed to ensure 

each pupil is getting enough sleep. We 

stress the importance of healthy eating 

and in a boarding environment we know 

whether a pupil is following our advice. 

Similarly, we support an active lifestyle 

but we can see if pupils are stretching 

themselves too far on the sports pitch. 

Lines of communication are always open 

between departments. The support pupils 

receive in a boarding school is not just 

theoretical but practical and real. The aim 

is to furnish them with a ‘toolkit’ for life, 

which will allow them to face the many 

challenges in the world beyond school, 

to prepare them for the unknown and to 

enable them to flourish.” 

(Source: www.ukbsa.com) 

So, if you are considering boarding 

school for your child, know that in 

addition to the wider internationally 

regarded academic teaching and 

learning, mental health and wellbeing 

is also at the heart of the boarding 

experience. 

Robin Fletcher, CEO, Boarding 

Schools’ Association (BSA) 

and BSA Group 


Impact of food waste 

on climate change 

When people talk about climate change and 

how you can help reduce its effects, what 

is the first thing that springs to mind? 

Driving an electric car? Cutting down on 

air travel? Going vegan? All big changes 

to your life that you may not be able to 

achieve... 


The easiest thing that people can do to cut their impact on the 

climate is by reducing their waste, especially food waste. 

Globally, the production of food accounts for up to 37% of 

greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and requires significant 

resources including land, energy, and water. However, up to 40% 

is wasted. In the UK, 70% of UK food waste (post-farm gate) 

comes from households, equivalent to a value of over £14 billion 

a year and 20 million tonnes of GHG emissions 

But the environmental damage is only part of the problem; the 

financial implications for both householders and councils who 

have to deal with the waste is significant. The average family 

throws away around £700 of edible food each year and this could 

hit family budgets at a time when they are already stretched. 

A lot of people deny throwing food away, but the bag of lettuce 

that isn’t opened in time, the piece of cheese left at the back of 

the fridge or even the extra portions of rice and pasta that you 

cook all have needed to be produced, transported, packaged and 

stored prior to you buying it……and then it ends up in the bin. 

The Love Food Hate Waste website: 

(www.lovefoodhatewaste.com) is a great resource to help 

families be more proactive in reducing food waste; from menu 

planning and shopping lists, through storing food correctly 

(so many people have their fridge at the wrong temperature), 

checking dates and then throwing together a meal with what’s in 

the fridge and cupboard one evening a week! 

Cutting food waste is easier than you think and the first lockdown 

showed that with a bit of thought and time it can be achieved as 

nationally food waste went down by 13%. 

Now that, is food for thought……..

WILD 

AT HEART 

TV star Ben Fogle is about to take a walk on the 

wild side with a new UK tour. Editor Katie Thomson 

caught up with him to find out more... 

Your tour follows on from your wildly successful ‘Tales from the Wilderness’ 

a few years ago. Are you excited to get out in front of a live audience again? 

Yeah I loved doing the last tour. It was a great opportunity to meet people who 

have championed me and watched my shows over the years. What I wanted 

to do with this one was bring something that is maybe even more 

relatable for people. My last show was all about my experiences 

with expeditions and how I’ve used them to build my confidence. 

But what I wanted to do this time was to make a show about 

how to find happiness and how to live a simpler life. Not 

necessarily like some of the examples I’ll be sharing of people 

who have gone to live in Siberia or outer Mongolia, but 

just how to live a happier life. So yes, I can’t wait to start 

touring again. 

I can imagine it’s nearly impossible to encapsulate 

all the experiences you’ve had and how they’ve 

shaped you and put that into an evening. Was it 

an interesting process to take stock of everything 

you’ve done to be able to pull the show together? 

Yeah, the last one was kind of quite easy because 

there was a chronology to it. My journey from being 

marooned on an island through to rowing oceans 

and ultimately climbing Mount Everest. This one 

is a little bit different as this is sort of a journey 

around the world meeting different people and a 

behind the scenes look at some of the places I’ve 

been and the people I’ve met and kind of what 

I’ve taken away from that. So this was actually 

quite an interesting way of analysing some of 

the experiences that I’ve had, from walking 

through the remains of Chernobyl in Ukraine 

through to people who are trying to bring 

back the woolly mammoth in Siberia. But at 

the heart of it all is this idea that happiness 

is kind of a journey, not just a destination. So 

many people kind of just trudge through life 

waiting for that metaphorical summit that they 

will eventually reach. What I have discovered 

over the years is that there are so many people 

who just enjoy the whole process and make the 

most of the whole journey and that’s what I’m trying 

to bring together. 

I guess, in that way, you’ve never really conformed 

to the nuclear life. We ask a lot of our children these 

days; even though we know as adults how broad 

and diverse our interests and abilities are, we still 

ask children to conform to one form of standardised 

testing. Would you say you would cover that in the 

show, that there’s much more to life than ticking boxes? 

Absolutely, I think that it’s almost like society wants to make 

everything homogeneous. They want all cars to look the same, 


all people to look the same, to learn the 

same, to have the same education, to live 

in the same sort of house. My upbringing 

was always very different to that anyway, 

in that I spent a bit of my time in central 

London, Dorset, a bit on a little farm in 

Sussex and a bit of my time in the wilds 

of Canada. It meant that I had quite an 

eclectic list of experiences and I think 

for me, my struggles with academics 

and the fact that I wasn’t very good at 

sport or exams meant that everyone 

looked at me like I was a bit of a freak, 

and it meant that I was forced look for 

alternative ways of being me. I was able 

to find that freedom in the wild. The ‘wild’ 

is obviously quite an expansive word, and 

it’s down to your interpretation really. But 

that is, as you very astutely said, is one of 

my big things in life; trying to encourage 

youngsters, families, individuals, couples 

to do what they want to do, not what 

society expects them to do and that’s 

what I’m trying to share with this show. 

I’ve sort of done bits of it over the years 

with the expeditions I’ve been on. A lot 

of people say, “why would you go and 

climb Mount Everest?” “Why would you 

row across an ocean?”. And the answer 

is because you should try to enjoy each 

day, not just sleepwalk through it. 

Would you say it is your struggles 

with self-doubt that push you to do 

these more extreme challenges? You 

surround yourself in many of them 

with these athletes and Olympians 

that have this mental fortitude beyond 

anything the regular person would 

have. Is it a case of confidence is a 

muscle you’ve got to exercise, it’s not 

just something you naturally have? 

Absolutely, I think we all need some form 

of validation, either from ourselves or 

SO MANY PEOPLE KIND OF 

JUST TRUDGE THROUGH 

LIFE WAITING FOR THAT 

METAPHORICAL SUMMIT 

THAT THEY WILL EVENTUALLY 

REACH. WHAT I HAVE 

DISCOVERED OVER THE YEARS 

IS THAT THERE ARE SO MANY 

PEOPLE WHO JUST ENJOY THE 

WHOLE PROCESS AND MAKE 

THE MOST OF THE WHOLE 

JOURNEY... 

from others and by surrounding myself 

with people who excel in whatever 

field it might be, whether it is cycling or 

rowing, it does help build your own self 

confidence. Certain my last tour, ‘Tales 

from the Wilderness’, focused quite a 

lot on that, and there will be a little bit 

of a cross over here because it’s about 

how to improve your own self esteem. 

I think so many people are racked with 

self-doubt, especially in this age of social 

media where you are constantly looking 

at other people and you are looking at 

their appearance and what they have and 

what they have achieved, where they go 

on holiday and their homes and so many 

people then start having self-doubts 

about what they’ve done with their life 

or what they’ve achieved. But actually, 

it’s all relative to who you are and what 

you’ve done, and I think as soon as you 

start comparing to others that’s a very 

dangerous place, but when you work with 

others it can actually create a beautiful 

working relationship. 

I guess travel must have really shaped 

who you are as a person. Solo travel 

is a huge passion of mine and I think 

it’s because you are forced to problem 

solve and it builds a certain sense 

of resilience. Do you find that the 

experiences you’ve had have given 

you almost a tool kit to tackle other 

everyday challenges in life? 

Absolutely. I think travel teaches you 

so many things about yourself. It gives 

you perspective on where you live and 

what you have, or what you don’t have, 

or others don’t have and for me it has 

been like a parallel education. I’ve learnt 

more over the years through my travel 

and journeys and encounters with people 

than I ever learnt in formal education, 

without a doubt. It has armed me with 

tools that I have used in life far more than 

any of my educational years and I’m a 

huge supporter of gap years and travel 

generally because I think it makes you 

curious and it teaches you how other 

people live. It opens your mind; it makes 

you less insular. 

It’s that quote ‘The further one travels, 

the less one knows” isn’t it? The more 

you travel, the more you realise there 

is to see. Do you still find yourself 

surprised and enlightened when you 

go away? 

Yeah! And I still absolutely love it. I still 

get that flutter of excitement, and I go 

away almost every week, but every 

time I get that excitement of meeting 

other people, eating different food, 

experiencing different weather, different 

environments. I find it so exciting, and I 

feel so incredibly that I get to do all those 

things. It’s one of the reasons I wanted 

to put this show together; so that I can 

bring a bit of the Columbian jungle and a 

bit of Antarctica and a bit of Siberia into 

theatres and share images and video and 

experience some of those things that I’ve 

been able to do with those who haven’t, 

and maybe inspire people to pack a 

rucksack and go off, and if not then to 

live it vicariously through me during the 

show. 

With your tour, would you say there is 

a sense of that we have to stop looking 

at the actual destination and instead 

enjoy ride a little bit more? 

Yes, it is about enjoying the journey itself. 

So many people sleepwalk through life. 

It’s almost like it’s a trial and it doesn’t 

have to be that way. Now obviously 

people are struggling financially and there 

are all sorts of reasons why people are 

experiencing mental health problems 

and many other things, but what I’ve 

realised over the years is that human 

nature is to aspire and to want more. So, 

whether you want that job promotion, 

or you want the bigger house, the better 

car, or the newer phone. But actually, if 

you simplify everything, then suddenly 

those aspirations are all relative and it 

means that to actually find that nirvana 

of happiness becomes much easier to 

attain. Sometimes the things that give 

you great happiness are much easier 

to actually find and hold on to. That’s 

what I’ve discovered the wilderness and 

the wild has done for me. To be in the 

jungle in the trees, on a river, on the sea, 

in the dessert. Away from the pressures 

of social media and the excesses of the 

internet, all those things. I find myself so 

much more content and happy. I just had 

a whole month in Antarctica for a new 

show and it was revolutionary in terms 

of not having any internet, email, any 

contact. All I had was a satellite phone 

to make a few calls to my family, and it 

changed my whole psychology. I found 

myself less anxious, happier, I chatted 

more to people around me. I lived in 

the now, rather than in someone else’s 

little world. I think that’s the nuts and 

bolts of what this show ‘Wild’ is going 

to hopefully help people attain; not by 

showing how climbing a mountain can 

change your life, but just how in some 

ways, changing your perspective can 

do that. I hope the tour can be a bit 

of a medicine for modern life that will 

hopefully leave people smiling and feeling 

uplifted.

HOME EXTENSIONS: 

Where to Start? 

With the hassle and costs that come with 

moving house, it’s no surprise so many of 

us choose to extend our homes to create 

more space and add value too. But there’s 

a lot to think about when you’re extending 

your home. So we’ve asked the property 

advice site HomeOwners Alliance (hoa. 

org.uk) about some of the essential things 

you need to ask yourself first. 

1. HOW MUCH VALUE WILL MY 

BUILDING PROJECT ADD? 

Firstly, it’s a good idea to establish 

whether your planned extension will add 

value to your home. A good local estate 

agent should be able to give you an 

indication of how much your extension 

would increase your property’s value by. 

They will be able to say what houses like 

yours locally have that puts them in the 

higher price bracket, whether that’s an 

extra bedroom, bathroom or something 

different. This is important research and 

may have a bearing on how much you’re 

prepared to spend and what projects you 

tackle first. 

2. DO I NEED PLANNING 

PERMISSION? 

You can perform certain types of work 

without needing to apply for planning 

permission; these are called “permitted 

development rights”. Whether or not 

your home extension is covered under 

permitted development will vary on a 

number of factors such as whether your 

house is detached, a semi-detached or 

a terrace and the size of your proposed 

extension. And there are other conditions 

that must be met: for example, if the 

extension is more than half the area of 

land around the original house, you will 

need planning permission. For more 

information visit Permitted development: 

guide for homeowners at hoa.org.uk. 

3. DON’T FORGET BUILDING 

REGULATIONS APPROVAL 

Regardless of whether or not planning 

permission is required, a house extension 

will need to comply with building 

regulations. Speak to your builder about 

who will be responsible for submitting 

a building control application. They 

should then work with building control 

officers in your local council to ensure 

compliance. But remember ultimately it is 

the homeowner’s responsibility to ensure 

this has been done. So once the building 

work is complete, you should obtain a 

completion certificate. This confirms that 

the building work complies with the local 

authority regulatory standards. It is a 

good idea to get this before handing over 

final payment to the builder. 

4. DESIGNING YOUR EXTENSION 

There’s no law saying you need to use an 

architect, even for large renovations and 

builds. But it’s certainly easier to have 

a professional draw up the designs and 

using an architect will generally mean 

you’ll get a better end result. Architect 

fees can range from 3% to 15% of the 

total build cost; the amount you’ll pay will 

depend on various factors including your 

location and the amount of involvement 

you want your architect to have with your 

project. So if you’re using an architect 

you’ll need to factor these fees into your 

budget. To search for architects in your 

area visit hoa.org.uk/services/find-anarchitect-near-me/ 

5. GETTING STRUCTURAL 

CALCULATIONS 


You’ll likely need plans and technical 

structural drawings if your extension 

requires any structural changes. These 

will be an important part of getting 

planning permission, complying with 

building regulations and for your builder 

to follow. A structural engineer can 

provide these. Shop around and speak to 

a few structural engineers to get the best 

price and service. 

Ca’Pietra 

6. FINDING THE RIGHT BUILDER 

The key to any successful home 

extension are professional, reliable 

trusted tradespeople. When it comes 

to getting the right builder, personal 

recommendations from friends or family 

members who have used the builders 

is a good starting point, and also look 

at online review sites when comparing 

builders and other contractors. 

Once you’ve narrowed down your search, 

ask to visit one or two of the builders’ 

completed projects to ensure you’re 

happy with the work and level of finish. 

Bear in mind you may need to wait 

several months to get the builder you 

want. So start the search early. 

7. GET QUOTES 

The cost of a home extension will depend 

on the type of extension, the size, the 

structural work involved (will you need 

steels?) and where you are undertaking 

the project. According to Checkatrade, a 

standard 20m² extension could typically 

cost £36,000 (+VAT) to £52,000 (+VAT), 

whereas a garage conversion typically 

costs £7,500 (+VAT) -£20,000 (+VAT) 

and a 30m² loft conversion could cost 

£37,500 (+VAT) to £60,000 (+VAT). 

However, whenever you are undertaking a 

renovation project, it’s always a good idea 

to shop around. We recommend getting 

quotes from three different contractors 

for the work. You’ll usually need to ask at 

least five firms to get three quotes. 

8. SETTING A BUDGET 

When setting a budget for your job, start 

by making a list of everything you would 

like included. Compare your quotes 

item by item and when pricing services 

and materials always check the VAT is 

included. We’d also recommend setting 

aside around 10% of the total cost for 

unexpected additional costs. 

Where to splurge on your extension 

We would recommend that if you can 

afford it, you engage an architect for your 

extension. You will pretty much always 

end up with a better end product. They are 

highly trained and especially good at seeing 

the “big picture”. They make the best use 

of the space you have, give interesting 

designs, ensure the light is right, the feel is 

good, and the house works. 

Architects are usually good at ensuring the 

work is professionally done. They are aware 

of planning and permitted development 

guidelines and will ensure the build meets 

the requirements of building control and 

that you have a structural engineer if you 

need one. An architect can also help you 

find the best builder, project manage the 

whole works, and keep within budget. 

The architect is the expert eyes and ears, 

whose job it is to represent your interests 

with builders and local authorities. They 

could save you a lot of time and hassle. 

How to save on your extension 

An extension is big bucks. There’s no 

getting around that. So take advantage 

of sales to get what you want for the best 

price. Don’t wait. This goes for everything 

from tiles to sofas. With current supply 

issues being experienced by many 

companies, you’ll be pleased you ordered 

early. And don’t forget to ask your builder 

or architect if they can get you a trade 

discount for anything you have said you 

would source. 

A lot of people choose to save money 

on building projects by doing elements 

themselves. For some people, knocking 

down a false wall or destroying and 

removing an old kitchen themselves will 

save some money. At the other end of the 

project, if you’re a dab hand at DIY then 

you may decide to save by painting and 

decorating the rooms yourself. 

9. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS 

Party Wall Agreements and your 

neighbours 

A party wall is the shared wall, usually 

between a terrace or semi-detached 

house, and divides the homes of two 

separate owners. It also includes 

garden walls built over a boundary and 

excavations close to a neighbour’s 

property (within three or six metres, 

depending on the depth of the new 

foundations). Party Wall Agreements 

are most commonly needed for loft 

conversions and extensions that need 

the insertion of steel supports, a damp 

proof course and/or digging of new 

foundations. 

Your home insurance cover 

And before starting your project it’s 

important that you contact your home 

insurer to advise them about the works. 

The extension will likely increase the 

rebuild cost of your house. Insurers 

take this into account when pricing 

premiums. While building work is being 

undertaken, it could put the property at 

risk of damage. And if you don’t let your 

insurer know and there’s a problem with 

the property at some point, you may find 

your policy is void. 

You should also check that any 

builder working on your property has 

professional indemnity insurance to cover 

the costs should something go wrong.

DINING 

Al Fresco 

Cox & Cox 

As the evenings get lighter and warmer, so we 

venture outside for our meals. Whether you’re 

hosting friends or just having a moment out-ofdoors 

to yourself, we’ve got some tips for creating 

an atmospheric dining space

Luna Geometric White & Grey Outdoor 

Rug from £19.99, homescapesonline.com 

LIGHT IT UP 

As well as being essential for utilising 

the space, good lighting is key to 

making a space inviting. You’ll need 

a mix of safety lighting that covers 

pathways and walls, and then some 

softer light to pool on the table. 

Rechargeable table lamps are a great 

option, as are festoon lights. You can 

string these on metal shepherds hooks or 

even get a bar that clips to the table so 

you can hang them along the length. 

Cast Iron Fire Pit, £120, roseandgrey.co.uk 

DINING OUT 

There are a myriad of options for 

seating, including rising tables to allow 

you to transition from lounging to dining. 

When you’re choosing your furniture, 

make sure you go for one with a good 

guarantee as you’ll want it to stand the 

test of time. 

Also think about how many seats you 

will need - it’s better to go for an option 

that suits you 95% of the time, with 

options to supplement with additional 

modular seating as and when required. 

SOFT FURNISHINGS 

Adding texture and softness really 

transforms a space. You can use regular 

cushions and blankets, just make sure 

to bring them in at night. 

Covering the floor with an outdoor rug 

can really make the space feel complete.

Adding texture to 

the table 

with a 

table runner, placemats and fabric 

napkins can really set the scene too. 

BEAUTIFUL 

TABLEWARE 

Vibrant salads, grilled meats and 

delicious desserts all look even better 

served in lovely ceramics - large serving 

bowls and platters help to encourage 

everyone to dig in and share. 

FEEL THE HEAT 

On cooler evenings, heat sources can 

keep the fun going - patio heaters are 

an efficient way to keep the cool air at 

bay. Fire pits and bowls are great for 

atmosphere - just 

make sure you are 

burning seasoned 

wood.

PAUL PRUDHOMME 

With supermarket shelves empty of certain items and predictions 

of shortages to come it might be time to be a little, or a lot, self 

sufficient and grow our own. You don’t have to have a lot of land; 

a little ingenuity will give you options and the thrill of eating what 

you have produced is considerably greater than that of paying for 

it at the checkout! 

A friend of mine was in India recently and saw a very ingenious 

use of space – plastic water bottles halved horizontally, a few 

holes in the bottom, compost and string to hang and hey presto; 

a hanging herb container. Large bamboo sliced similarly for 

herbs, half coconut shells strapped to trees for orchids, making 

use of what is to hand is the most economic and environmentally 

friendly way to go. 

Hanging baskets for tumbler tomatoes and herbs, old dustbins 

for early spuds, old metal buckets and jam pans, even car 

tyres can be repurposed and used so with a little creativity you 

have containers ready to go. The water bottles can be hung on 

a frame, one above the other, which makes for a great space 

saving feature, and brackets on walls can also be utilised. 

Seeds are cheap and with a little research and a chat with other 

gardeners you can choose the best options for your space. If 

you are lucky enough to have a garden or allotment then the 

options are endless, from ‘step over’ apples to a full sized tree, 

and getting the family involved is great too so the kids learn 

about where their food comes from – and how precious it is.

FROM GOOD TO GREAT 

WHAT MAKES GREAT CARE IN LATER LIFE 

We explore the details of what makes for great care in later life... 

As we age, our needs change, and we 

require more specialized care to maintain 

our quality of life. Great care in later life 

is not only about meeting the physical 

needs of older adults but also about 

providing compassionate and respectful 

care that promotes their overall wellbeing. 

We explore the key elements that 

make great care in later life, including 

compassionate and respectful care, a 

safe and comfortable living environment, 

and activities that promote well-being 

and independence. 

Great care in later life should prioritize 

treating older adults with dignity and 

respect. This means showing empathy 

towards their physical, emotional, and 

social needs. Caregivers should take 

the time to listen to their concerns and 

preferences, and provide personalised 

care that meets their cultural values. 

For example, older adults may have 

specific dietary requirements, or they 

may prefer to receive care from someone 

who speaks their native language. By 

acknowledging these preferences, 

caregivers can create a more positive 

and supportive environment for older 

adults. Furthermore, compassionate and 

respectful care should extend beyond 

meeting basic needs. Caregivers should 

also prioritise social and emotional 

support, recognising that loneliness and 

isolation can have a significant impact 

on older adults’ overall health and 

well-being. This can involve providing 

opportunities for social interaction, such 

as group activities, or simply taking the 

time to engage in conversation and build 

relationships with older adults. 

A safe and comfortable living 

environment is essential for great care 

in later life. This involves ensuring that 

the living environment is clean, safe, 

and accessible. Caregivers should 

take steps to prevent falls and other 

accidents, such as removing tripping 

hazards and installing handrails. They 

should also provide appropriate medical 

equipment and assistive devices, such 

as wheelchairs and walkers, to help older 

adults maintain their independence. 

In addition to meeting physical needs, 

great care in later life should also 

prioritise emotional comfort. This 

can involve providing a warm and 

welcoming environment, with comfortable 

furnishings and decor that reflects the 

personal preferences of older adults. 

Caregivers should also take steps to 

ensure that older adults feel secure and 

supported, such as providing access 

to emergency response systems and 

ensuring that they have access to 

assistance when needed. 

Finally, great care in later life should 

prioritise activities that promote wellbeing 

and independence. This can 

involve offering a range of social and 

recreational activities, such as exercise 

classes, art therapy, and music therapy. 

These activities not only promote physical 

health but also provide opportunities for 

social interaction and emotional support. 

In addition to structured activities, 

caregivers should also encourage 

older adults to pursue hobbies and 

interests that they enjoy. This can involve 

providing access to books, movies, 

and other forms of entertainment, or 

simply encouraging older adults to 

explore new interests and hobbies. By 

promoting independence and autonomy, 

caregivers can help older adults maintain 

a sense of purpose and fulfilment, even 

as they age. 

Great care in later life is about more than 

just meeting physical needs. It involves 

providing compassionate and respectful 

care that prioritises the overall well-being 

of older adults.

DRIVE SAFELY: 

HAVE YOUR CATARACTS 

REMOVED 

At The Wye Clinic’s specialist cataract 

clinic, we see many people with 

cataracts... 

Cataracts are cloudy lenses inside your eye – we all get them 

to a degree as time passes – and they can be miserable to live 

with. Your sight goes blurry, spectacles need constantly changing 

and as your cataract worsens, driving becomes hazardous if 

not frankly illegal. Many people wait before seeking help, some 

thinking they’re doing the right thing, others waiting for surgery 

on the NHS. 

You really don’t need to wait. In fact, earlier surgery at The Wye 

Clinic offers swift recovery, typically less risk and a greater 

number of years living with the benefits of the procedure, like 

being able to drive without spectacles. It is crucial that you only 

drive if you are legal to do so… and that means being able to see 

well. If you stop driving as a result of cataract, it’s much harder 

to get back behind the wheel if you’ve waited a long time for 

surgery. 

Having your cataract dealt with privately at The Wye Clinic means 

you choose who does your operation and crucially when it is 

done. Quality is crucial – ideally you should choose a surgeon 

who has had a lot of experience, performed typically thousands 

of cases and for whom complications are rare. All The Wye 

Clinic’s surgeons are highly experienced and routinely train the 

next generation of cataract surgeons within their NHS practices. 


The Wye Clinic offers you personalised care in a luxury 

environment and cataract surgery without the wait. Every 

aspect of your care is carefully considered, including a choice of 

monofocal or premium lenses, the latter not being available on 

the NHS. The Wye Clinic’s surroundings are stunning, within the 

listed nineteenth-century Moorfield House, along with its beautiful 

private garden. In 2021, the building was renovated throughout to 

meet and exceed modern safety standards. 

Live the life you want to live, now, with The Wye Clinic’s eye 

surgeons in Hereford. No trainee doctors, your choice of lens and 

no compromise. And you don’t even need a referral. For more
