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 />

contacting our host of much valued advertisers.<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 />

Q U A R T E R P A G E A D V E R T S C O S T J U S T £ 3 0<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 />

Society, or if you’d like to volunteer with the charity call our<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 />
