Welcome to this, the March/April edition of <strong>Northampton</strong> <strong>Local</strong> magazine, where as well<br />
as our usual host of regular advertisers offering their most sought after goods and<br />
services and in addition to the popular competitions that we regularly run, we’re delighted<br />
also to introduce a number of newbies. Among these are<br />
Future Wills. It’s estimated that around 60% of people in<br />
the UK don’t have wills, so in the unfortunate event of their<br />
untimely death, their families would be left not knowing<br />
what the deceased’s wishes were. Future Wills are<br />
offering readers an introductory New Client offer of just £20<br />
for a Single Will (normal price £110) and just £25 (instead<br />
of £180) for a Mirror Will (terms & conditions apply. Details<br />
on page 55). So why put it off any longer, contact<br />
Future Wills today and take some of the worry and<br />
uncertainty away for your loved ones. If you’re looking for<br />
childcare for your 6 month to 12 year old then look no<br />
further<br />
further. Redrobins Nannery of Lumbertubs<br />
Lane, Boothville currently have plenty of<br />
places available. (Details on page 9).<br />
a<br />
Another New Client offer is courtesy of<br />
Hair by Nicki who are offering a Cut &<br />
Finish for just £20 (details on page 11).<br />
If you’d like to promote your business, charity, club,<br />
products or services in the next edition of the magazine<br />
and take advantage of the incredibly low prices which<br />
continue to remain on offer for yet another year,<br />
please contact advertise@northampton-local.co.uk or call<br />
07738 024 823. From all of us here at <strong>Northampton</strong><br />
<strong>Local</strong>, we wish you all a lovely Easter. Stay safe and<br />
please don’t forget to mention <strong>Northampton</strong> <strong>Local</strong> when<br />

helping a child<br />
smile again<br />
That’s our kind<br />
of fostering
nfa is currently<br />
recruiting foster carers<br />
Good foster carers provide a safe, nurturing family environment where children<br />
with traumatic early experiences can flourish.<br />
Do you have the time and energy to invest in a child or young person?<br />
You will need a bedroom for the exclusive use of the child and we will provide<br />
you with all the support you need so together we can make a difference.<br />
We would like to share with you a wonderful poem written by Chelsea, a young<br />
person who has been placed with one of NFA’s carers in Lincolnshire. Chelsea<br />
explores a difficult time in her life throughout the poem and the effects that<br />
fostering has had, helping her to develop strong, loving relationships.<br />
The relationships were horrible. Then everything was terrible.<br />
Heartbroken was how I felt all the time. Then turned into the worst crime.<br />
Every day I was so depressed. And everything turned into a mess.<br />
Smashing the house was the worst thing I’d done. And it was really not that fun.<br />
The feeling of the police at my bedroom window. All of a sudden, I felt really low.<br />
My life.<br />
Falling out with my family what can I do, a nice fresh start and something new.<br />
I had enough so I went to London. The whole thing felt terrifying and I felt done in.<br />
That night we all got high, I felt I was dancing in the sky.<br />
Hearing my name on the news. Got me shaking in my shoes.<br />
My life.<br />
I walked in the doors and it felt like a prison. The whole 7 months felt like a mission.<br />
Upset was the worst thing I’ve felt. I just wanted to hide and melt.<br />
How can depression make you feel so sad? I thought it won’t make you feel so bad.<br />
For the first few weeks I was annoyed. Everything around made me feel destroyed.<br />
My life.<br />
Leaving the place was such an achievement. So happy I thought I was dreaming.<br />
Foster care was a whole new place. Like I won my first 100-mile race.<br />
Loved is the first thing I felt. Wrapped around tightly like a seat belt.<br />
After all of this we made up. Finally, after this horrible break up.<br />
Our relationships are stronger than before. We love each other more and more.<br />
My life.<br />
Be Amazing!<br />

<strong>Northampton</strong> Area Diabetes UK Group was formed over 48 years ago. We are an active<br />
group of volunteers holding seven meetings in the Lecture Hall at <strong>Northampton</strong> General<br />
Hospital per year. All meetings are diabetes related and we offer a warm welcome to<br />
anyone who has diabetes or is interested in the condition.<br />
From the beginning there have always been strong links with the professionals from the<br />
<strong>Northampton</strong> Diabetes Team who are part of the group. It is only because we have their<br />
support that the group has been so successful. We usually hold a Diabetes Open Day in<br />
conjunction with the Diabetes Team on a Saturday morning once every year at St Giles<br />
Parish Rooms when the public can drop in and get advice from the specialist and research<br />
nurses, podiatrists and dietician as well as chat to people who have lived with diabetes -<br />
some for many years.<br />
Children and young people living with the condition are also supported. The Parents Group<br />
hold an activity day once a year at Adventure Ways in Moulton. The children and their<br />
siblings enjoy supervised craft and sporting activities all day while the parents take part in a<br />
programme of talks, discussions and workshops with a paediatric and adult diabetes<br />
consultant and other members of the Paediatric Diabetes Team. The children meet others<br />
who have the condition and learn how to cope with activity and their condition while the<br />
parents share their experiences of living with the ups and downs when a young family<br />
member has the condition. The Group raises money for research into diabetes and also to<br />
fund the Family Day.<br />

Helen Crawford, Alzheimer’s Society<br />
Services Manager in <strong>Northampton</strong>shire<br />
Spring is the ideal time to get out and get active, with the<br />
weather improving and the days getting longer.<br />
Getting more exercise and making healthier choices can go a long way to<br />
reducing your risk of dementia. While some things that affect your risk of<br />
dementia can’t be changed, such as your age or genes, there are many<br />
things you can change. These five things are especially important if you’re in<br />
your 40s, 50s or 60s - but they’re relevant to everyone.<br />
1. Get moving<br />
One of the best ways to reduce your risk of dementia is taking part in regular<br />
physical exercise. It’s good for your heart, circulation, weight and mental<br />
wellbeing. Try to do a combination of activities you’ll enjoy as you’re more<br />
likely to stick to them, such as aerobic activities that get you moving, brisk<br />
walking, riding a bike or pushing a lawnmower. Also try ‘resistance activities’<br />
that work your muscles, such as digging and shovelling in the garden, or<br />
lifting weights.<br />
2. Eat well<br />
A healthy, balanced diet is likely to reduce your risk of dementia, as well as<br />
other conditions including cancer, type 2 diabetes, obesity, stroke and<br />
heart disease.<br />
Most of us know we<br />
should eat five<br />
portions of fruit and<br />
vegetables each day<br />
but it’s also a good<br />
idea to eat fish or<br />
other omega-3 rich<br />
foods at least twice a<br />
week. Base meals<br />
around starchy foods<br />
like bread, pasta and<br />
potatoes. Also be<br />
wary of hidden salt in<br />
foods and keep sugary<br />
foods as a treat.<br />
Take action to reduce your risk of dementia<br />

L O W C O S T A D V E R T I S I N G F O R A L L<br />

3. Quit smoking and cut down on alcohol<br />
If you smoke, you’re putting yourself at much higher risk of developing<br />
dementia later in life, as well as other conditions such as cancer and stroke.<br />
Drinking too much alcohol also increases your risk of developing dementia.<br />
Aim to drink no more than 14 units per week. That’s the equivalent of six<br />
pints of 4% lager in a week or 6 glasses of 175ml wine in a week (13% ABV).<br />
4. Keep your mind active<br />
You can also help to reduce your risk of dementia by exercising your mind.<br />
Research suggests that regularly challenging yourself mentally seems to build<br />
up the brain’s ability to cope with disease.<br />
Find an activity you enjoy, as you’re more likely to keep it up. Try doing<br />
puzzles or crosswords, learn a new language, play card games, study for a<br />
course or write articles or stories.<br />
You might want to do some of these activities with friends or neighbours.<br />
Spending time with other people is an important part of keeping your mind<br />
active.<br />
5. Look after your health<br />
Taking control of your health will help reduce your risk of dementia. If you’re<br />
aged 40-74, start by getting your free NHS health check. You’ll be invited to<br />
this by your GP.<br />
It’s important to see the GP if you’re worried about health problems such as<br />
depression, hearing loss, or not getting enough sleep. All of these might<br />
increase your risk of dementia.<br />

The Advanced Driver Course<br />
The advanced driver course provides members of the<br />
public with effective post driving test training. It is<br />
appropriate for anyone with a driving licence, no matter<br />
what age. The course will raise your driving skills to<br />
advanced test standard and will build on your existing<br />
experience. It will also help those who experience<br />
difficulty with certain roads and situations. Things they<br />
may actively avoid. Motorways for example, or multilane<br />
roundabouts, both commonly present problems for<br />
some people.<br />
Those who undertake the course find it gives them much<br />
greater driving confidence. They often comment on just<br />
how much they have learned about driving. Things they<br />
were previously unaware of - even with many years of<br />
driving experience. Come along for a free assessment<br />
and find out what it’s all about.<br />

Poem donated by David Garrett<br />
L O W C O S T A D V E R T I S I N G F O R A L L<br />
As I stand by the gate looking around at the scene<br />
I see a patchwork of gardens joined by paths of dark green<br />
As men toil and till soil, fresh food for to grow<br />
By the sweat of their body and the power of the hoe<br />
Sheds of all sizes the landscape adorn<br />
Some proud and erect, some old and forlorn<br />
Old men and young men join together to fight<br />
Against the forces of nature and all her great might.<br />
Mice eat the seeds that are put in the ground,<br />
While those that they miss the birds will have found,<br />
And if quite by chance a plant may mature<br />
The rabbits will find it of that you are sure,<br />
The men grumble and groan about this abuse,<br />
But year after year food they try to produce,<br />
Too wet to plant, things are getting behind,<br />
Once planted, ground dries, no more rain do we find,<br />
Buckets of water to potatoes are fed,<br />
Seedlings struggle to survive on scorched dust dry bed,<br />
Broad beans ripe to pick go down with the fly<br />
Peas shrivel from drought and you just watch them die,<br />
Whitefly on the Brussels, immune to the spray,<br />
Thank God for the rhubarb I hear someone say,<br />
By the end of the summer these battered brave men<br />
Will all dig their gardens and start over again,<br />
But there is more to allotments than gardening and toil<br />
It’s a place to unwind from the world you recoil,<br />
A place where you meet men who think as you do<br />
Where rewards are plenty though profits are few,<br />
Fresh air and sunshine is the bonus they seek<br />
When on Sunday they forget all the cares of the week.<br />
Now if you feel that some land you would till,<br />
Just think of the problems, for the way there needs will.<br />
