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 />

I am a big fan of exercise and try to fit a workout into my<br />

think it’s important to look good whilst working out as it gives<br />
you extra motivation and as you see the pounds falling away<br />
you wont want to go for baggy tops and joggers and why<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 />

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 />

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 />
