Domestic Abuse and Stalking in the Workplace<br />

Would you know the signs?<br />

Or what your legal obligations are?<br />

In England and Wales domestic abuse costs £1.9billion a year in lost economic<br />

output. This is due to decreased productivity, administration difficulties from<br />

unplanned time off, lost wages and sick pay. Domestic abuse can impact negatively<br />

on and employees health and wellbeing. It can impact on staff morale as well as<br />

organisational image and reputation.<br />

With research showing that 1 in 4 women will experience domestic abuse at some<br />

point in their lifetime, it is likely that all workplaces have staff that have or are<br />

experiencing abuse as well those who are perpetrators.<br />

Developing an effective workplace policy is essential.<br />

In Partnership with the Police and Crime Commissioner, the Hollie Gazzard Trust is<br />

holding a free conference for all businesses in Gloucestershire. Speakers include:<br />

Richard Berry, Gloucestershire Police Assistant Chief Constable<br />

Polly Neate, CEO Women’s Aid<br />

Fiona Bowman, Stalking survivor<br />

Laura Richards, CEO Paladin Anti-Stalking Advocacy and Criminal Behaviourist<br />

Nick Gazzard, Chairman Hollie Gazzard Trust<br />

you extra motivation and as you see the pounds falling away<br />

HOLIDAY PREPARATIONS<br />

NAILS - SKIN - HAIR - TAN<br />

It’s that time of year when we are all worrying about preparing ourselves for our<br />

holidays. Our hands and feet need some care, our skin needs smoothing and our hair<br />

needs removing!<br />

I have written some tips and ideas for you based on the most popular (and important)<br />

holiday preparation treatments at my salon.<br />

MANICURES AND PEDICURES<br />

Any TLC for hands and feet is appreciated by our skin and nails! Over the winter we<br />

do tend to neglect our hands and feet as they are covered and hidden by woolly<br />

gloves and big cosy boots. But now is the time to start treating them well! Basic or<br />

luxury nail care treatments are available and why not try the extremely popular and<br />

newest addition to our nail care options - GELERATION. It is a new and kind system of<br />

gel polish, long lasting and hard wearing in a range of beautiful colours.<br />

(prices range from £10 to £30)<br />

BODY SCRUBS<br />

We are able to offer a choice of deliciously scented scrubs. The salts in our Chocolate<br />

Orange or Green Tea and Mint scrubs remove dry/ dead skin to reveal smoother,<br />

softer skin perfect for holiday prep and perfect treatments to ensure your skin is<br />

glowing and sun tanning ready! (Body scrubs £20)<br />

WAXING<br />

That hair needs removing before your holiday. Although waxing may not be the most<br />

pleasant on our list of treatments it definitely is worth it. If you have waxing on a<br />

regular basis, because the hairs re removed right from the root, they will eventually<br />

start to grow back much less and much finer - meaning you will end up spreading<br />

appointments out much more meaning less maintenance. (Hooray!) And if done<br />

before a holiday any hairs that may grow back while away should be lightened by the<br />

sun anyway so it’s a win-win!! (Waxing ranges from £5 to £25)<br />

SPRAY TANS<br />

Who wants to go away feeling pasty and pale? No-one, is the answer. Everyone feels<br />

better with a tan so it’s a very popular treatment to have as part of holiday prep. A<br />

full body subtle spray of tan to suit your colouring will make you feel much more<br />

comfortable and happy in your bikini. Sun care is still needed but at least while<br />

your natural tan is building your gorgeous artificial spray is protecting you from<br />

the dreaded lily white insecurities! Available in three different shades and also an<br />

express tan option. (Spray tans are £20)<br />

MARIA’S TOP TIP:<br />

Extend your holiday time by using the week before you go to really prepare your<br />

body, with the treatments that will help you feel better on that beach. It’s all about<br />

that HOLIDAY PREP girls!!! …… Have a great summer and enjoy your holidays! x


Maria Young<br />

Beauty Editor for <strong>Unique</strong><br />

Hello my name is Maria Young. I am a business owner and beauty therapist. I qualified<br />

in 2009 and have been passionate about making others feel good ever since.<br />

When leaving school I was unsure of what I wanted to do for a career so I ended up<br />

choosing beauty because my best friend was doing it. Thank goodness I did because<br />

I can’t imagine doing anything else. Throughout school I was made to feel unhappy<br />

about my size and my looks, I was picked on and at times very unhappy in my own skin<br />

but now that I have experienced the job satisfaction you get from making others feel<br />

good. Perhaps I should thank those bullies because that negativity may be exactly what<br />

planted my passion for making people feel the opposite way.<br />

There is nothing better than knowing you have<br />

brightened someone’s day, made them feel<br />

good or more happy with them self. To know<br />

that person is walking out of my salon feeling<br />

better in some way than when they came in<br />

really warms my heart.<br />

I started off working for a company called Clarins<br />

where I was put on very exclusive training in<br />

London. I was then a skincare and makeup<br />

consultant for them as well as building up clientele locally by doing treatments for<br />

people at home. I went from Clarins to working in different Spa Hotels and also covering<br />

for local salons while my local clientele kept gradually building. Eventually I was able to<br />

go it alone and rent rooms within a salon. The business grew to a point where I needed<br />

more space and took on staff.<br />

From the point of leaving college, and while I was working and proving my dedication<br />

to my business, I had contacted Bells Hotel in Coleford. It took me years to get them<br />

to listen to my ideas. But it eventually paid off and now I have a beautiful salon within<br />

the hotel, where we have four treatment rooms,<br />

our own reception area, facilities for packages<br />

including afternoon teas and a wonderful team<br />

of talented therapists who share my passion<br />

with me.<br />

It took me five years to be here and I am nowhere near my goal but it is always good<br />

to see progress and I love that others can share it all with me. I am very honoured to<br />

be asked to be writing for <strong>Unique</strong> and will be providing you regularly with some of my<br />

favourite health and beauty tips, I hope you enjoy the read! :)<br />

Best wishes<br />

Maria<br />

x<br />

I have received four regional business awards<br />

and am selected again this year. When I first<br />

started my business I remember looking at the<br />

achievements of others and wanting to be a part<br />

of it and now I am in my own right.<br />

I was referred to LNH Management Solutions when<br />

looking to setup a new business venture. I’ve been very<br />

pleased with the time Lee initially spent with me advising<br />

on the business structure and helping with all of the<br />

necessary set-up and registration requirements. Since<br />

this, Lee regularly keeps contact to ensure the business is<br />

running smoothly and has always been available to offer<br />

his support in a personal and approachable manner. I’ve<br />

been highly impressed with his services and would have<br />

no hesitation in recommending him to other small businesses.<br />

people’s kitchens and bathrooms. Bathroom<br />

company have told me they do so as the<br />

project management is excellent, her<br />

quotes competitive and the finish is superb.<br />

They know their customers are in<br />

very safe hands and hence she is their preferred<br />

supplier. I would not hesitate<br />

Dear Chris and Caroline, Thank you again for the<br />

outstanding service. As you know, I had a specific<br />

idea in mind which had some unusual features.<br />

I did not feel confident that the first company I<br />

approached could achieve the design I wanted<br />

after their repeated failure to provide a drawing<br />

to my specifications. In contrast you provided the<br />

drawing I needed quickly and efficiently which,<br />

together with your professional and caring<br />

approach, left me in no doubt about placing an<br />

order with you. My mother and I are delighted<br />

with the stone, and I know my father would have<br />

liked it. It’s funny but it seems so appropriate for<br />

him, with its height, slim width and stylish<br />

features. I hope I can equal your high standards<br />

in the small planting area in front of the stone<br />

with my flowers.<br />

You both do such an important job and you do it<br />

extremely well.<br />

Best wishes Julia Wynn<br />

The Everyman<br />

Behind The Scenes<br />

18 19<br />

I was one of the lucky 15 people to have the opportunity on Friday 24th April to see<br />

behind the scenes at The Everyman Theatre in <strong>Cheltenham</strong>. John our tour guide rounded<br />

us up and took us upstairs to Matchams bar area as he went through the history of<br />

both Everyman Theatre and Frank Matcham the architect who designed and built The<br />

Everyman where it is today.<br />

Frank Matcham was born in 1854 in Newton Abbott and his first theatre project was The<br />

Elephant and Castle in London.The Everyman Theatre was built in 1891, but most of<br />

you wouldn’t know is that the first theatre in <strong>Cheltenham</strong> was based where Lloyds TSB<br />

is now in the High Street and was called the Assembly Rooms. When Frank Matcham<br />

started the project it was decided by the backers that it would<br />

now be built in Regent Street.<br />

Stage<br />

John then took us out into the theatre itself and we could see the<br />

set of Rebecca which was on Thursday<br />

evening it was eerily quiet but you could<br />

really see the theatres beauty. Then we<br />

were on the stage itself which was very<br />

intimate we got to feel like how the actors<br />

and actresses felt when they perform as<br />

you could see every face clearly.<br />

Then we got to see the props from Rebecca including the brilliant<br />

puppet dog from the show, cigarettes and lanterns. The whole<br />

behind the scenes layout was like a military operation, everything<br />

had its place. John the tour guide again asked if there were any<br />

questions, and he had the answers for<br />

all of them. We then got to see the scene dock where all the<br />

equipment is kept and also miniature show sets so the producer<br />

and main protagonists could plan the layout and show itself.<br />

Wardrobe Department<br />

John spoke in depth about the many different costumes from<br />

pantomimes including Jack and The Beanstalk, we then went<br />

into two of the dressing rooms which were all fitted out with<br />

showers for the actors.<br />

We were then taken up to The Fly Floor where<br />

the Flyman operates all the curtains, props<br />

and in the case of Rebecca a boat, it was a<br />

good job none of us had real height issues as<br />

we were up with the gods.<br />

Studio<br />

Then John finally showed us into the<br />

studio where small productions and music<br />

productions are performed, John also<br />

explained that originally the studio was<br />

used for rehearsals. It really was a great<br />

opportunity to see behind the scenes of the<br />

Everyman and I really enjoyed it and would<br />

certainly recommend it.

Pay It Forward<br />

So many companies now understand the importance of being kind. Traditionally<br />

businesses have always been focused on gaining customers and growing their<br />

business by using hard-hitting sales campaigns and measuring strict ROI. But what<br />

a wealth of forward thinking companies, such as Waitrose and Pret A Manger now<br />

understand is the added benefit to their business by just being kind.<br />

Pret A Manger, the leading snack retailer now allow their staff to give away free<br />

coffee’s to anyone they choose, ‘a simple nod to kindness to perk up somebodies<br />

day’. They get nothing direct in return for their kindness; just a simple message. We<br />

care. Caring about your customers and those you do business with is imperative<br />

to growing your business in this fast moving yet kind conscious economy.<br />

Luke Cameron<br />

I started my own personal journey by setting up a humble blog a year and a half ago<br />

and writing about doing ‘random acts of kindness’. A good deed for every day of the<br />

year; a huge feat, but an endeavour I was fully commited too. I now get paid to travel<br />

the country and assist charities, doing ‘good deeds’ on a corporate scale. Holding<br />

the ‘Nicest Job in Britain’ I get paid by UA, to travel the length of the UK, visiting a<br />

different charity each week and help in whatever capacity needed. I use my skills,<br />

knowledge and network to positively impact those charities and make a real lasting<br />

difference to their operations. But one thing I have come to learn is that you done<br />

have to be a charity to be philanthropic.

<strong>Unique</strong> Food<br />

Tarragon<br />

28 29<br />

We were welcomed into the restaurant by our waiter for the evening - Gabor. a<br />

delightful Hungarian waiter who was charming, friendly and attentive throughout<br />

our meal. We noticed on arrival that Tarragon has a cosy intimate feel to it so it was<br />

little wonder that after seven it quickly fills up with diners.<br />

For starters I had Bruschetta with fresh tomatoes, focaccia<br />

garnished with fresh basil leaves and my girlfriend opted<br />

for the Crayfish with Mango and Advocado salad.<br />

For the main course I had Braised Lamb which was tender<br />

and succulent to taste served with spring vegetables which<br />

consisted of carrots vitolette potatoes, duo of tomato, confit<br />

garlic mushroom and a lamb jus. This is my first time dining<br />

out at an International restaurant and I wasn't quite sure<br />

what to expect but was pleasantly surprised by the quality<br />

of the food.<br />

base was thick and once my girlfriend saw the gratification on my face she decided<br />

to ask Gabor for a spoon and dived in commenting that it was the best cheese cake<br />

she had ever tried, I have to say I agreed, I am not usually<br />

a fan of cheesecake as I sometimes find it too heavy but<br />

this certainly was not the case here.<br />

On the whole we really enjoyed our visit to The Tarragon<br />

and although there isn't a large choice on the menu there<br />

is something to suit every palate. The prices are a bit on<br />

the expensive side with a main dish starting out at £16.00<br />

but the quality of the food really does justify the cost. For<br />

those of you with less money to spend you could opt for<br />

the early bird menu which offers two courses for £15.95<br />

or three courses for £19.95 between Monday-Thursday<br />

5pm -7pm. Well done The Tarragon.<br />

The other main was the<br />

marinated supreme of chicken, served with boulangerie<br />

potato, baby shallots, confit garlic, girolle mushroom and<br />

puree of spinach and carrot with a red wine reduction.<br />

The boulangere potatoes were layered and delicately<br />

seasoned with fresh thyme and went perfectly with the<br />

chicken. The dish was beautifully presented and very<br />

colourful.<br />

Still room for the dessert, my<br />

girlfriend opted out as she<br />

said she was full to bursting, I<br />

went for the baked strawberry<br />

cheesecake with strawberry<br />

three ways. When it arrived I was pleasantly surprised at<br />

how big the portion slice was, I loved the presentation, it<br />

was served on a black slate platter with a dusting of icing<br />

sugar with fresh strawberries on either side and fresh mint<br />

for decoration. The cheesecake had a luxurious yoghurt<br />

like texture to it and was absolutely divine, the digestive

<strong>Unique</strong> Football The Robins<br />

41<br />

@CTFCofficial<br />

So here we are Robins fans with just two games left, with the Robins in<br />

23rd place and one point behind Hartlepool in 22nd place. Unfortunately<br />

<strong>Cheltenham</strong> haven’t made the most out of their last four games as we only<br />

managed one 3 - 1 Win against Cambridge. The good news is that Gary Johnson<br />

is now at the helm now so we may be able to pick up some points and hope<br />

Hartlepool slip up.<br />

Our last game saw us go down 2-0 away to Northampton Cobblers forward<br />

Ivan Toney finished Lawson D’Ath’s left-wing cross to score his 10th of the season<br />

and Marc Richards’<br />

right-foot strike sealed victory for the hosts.<br />

New <strong>Cheltenham</strong> Town manager Gary Johnson told BBC Radio Gloucestershire:<br />

“If you don’t play with any sort of quality then you’re going to get<br />

beat, you make substitutions in the hope of changing things but not a<br />

lot changed.<br />

“I’m not going to get excited about five minutes of play, we didn’t have<br />

enough play. We didn’t play enough to warrant anything today and I feel<br />

sorry for our supporters.<br />

got to pick that up again. It’s going to take work on the training ground and I hope<br />

I’ve got enough time.”<br />

The Robins last two games are Shrewsbury in Second place at Home on Saturday<br />

25th April and last but by no means least Wimbledon in thirteenth place Away on<br />

Saturday 2nd <strong>May</strong>.<br />

Well the end of the season does not get any tougher than this, hopefully Gary<br />

Johnson can fire up the lads to achieve possibly the greatest escape of his<br />

managerial career.<br />
