Welcome to the August edition
of the Community Scene!
After such a wet and disappointing July, with so many
local community events having to be cancelled, let’s
all hope that August gives us the chance to get out
and about and to support our communities once more.
The Olympics continue until 12 August. If you missed
our guide to the games in the July edition, then you
can view in online at:
http://www.issuu.com/the_scene_magazine
This month we have featured the Paralympic Games,
so turn to pages 23 – 26 for the schedule and also
learn about sports exclusive to those games.
We have a fabulous giveaway too this month, to win a
meal for four at the Angel Hotel in Bourne. Good luck!
Stay in touch if you’re planning a local event

DEEPINGS RUFC OVERWHELMED BY SUPPORT FOR CLUB
MAKEOVERDeepings Rugby Club is celebrating a successful weekend of hard work, thanks to the volunteers who came in great numbers to lend a helping hand to the club’s RBS RugbyForce Weekend. Everyone worked together to help the club prepare for the 2012/13 season by repairing, tidying and making all as part of the RBS RugbyForce Weekend programme.
RBS RugbyForce 2012 provided clubs across the UK with tools and resources, to help them plan and deliver their own activities. The programme is a cornerstone of RBS’s sponsorship of the RBS 6 Nations Championship, seeing RBS support the sport at every level.

DEEPING SPORTS AND SOCIAL CLUB -
SUMMER BALLDeepings Sports and Social Club recently hosted their 1st Annual Summer Ball, at Outgang Road in Market Deeping. The organisers organised a stunning marquee to be sited on the cricket outfield, accommodating 200 guests. Everyone enjoyed a three course meal, with entertainment by The Kommitments. DJ Michael Dean, from The Box, provided the disco. During the evening a silent auction and tombola were held to raise money for the two chosen charities, Parkinsons UK Bourne Branch and The Deeping Men’s Group.
The sum of £2,500 was raised on the night and the Summer Ball committee would like to thank all sponsors and guests for supporting the ball.

CASTLE COTTAGETony Robinson and his crew from Chanel 4’s Time Team stumbled
upon a hidden gem in Oakham in June. The Castle Cottage Cafe
is tucked away behind the red door in Church Passage, but the
super sleuth time detectives had no problem in unearthing the
perfect venue for a party following their archaeological project in
Oakham. The Time Team was in Oakham at a ‘dig’ to investigate
12th Century remains inside Oakham Castle. The crew were
excavating for three days and made some exciting discoveries
including a 13th century horseshoe.

Alternatives also offer post abortion and baby loss counseling. Working in partnership with referral agencies (local GPs, health visitors, midwives) they are able to signpost to further services as appropriate.
Recently, Alternatives also ran a week of tutorials at New College Stamford exploring relationships with students. This allowed discussion and debate with students around relationships. The work is undertaken in partnership with Stamford’s SureStart Children’s Centre.
Alternatives vision is to provide help and support to women and their partners in the Stamford area who find themselves dealing with an unplanned pregnancy. To reach out to women, to partners and husbands to provide a safe, confidential environment where any person can access unbiased advice and information and talk through their options with trained advisors.

HARLEYS DINER ROCKS MARKET DEEPING
Harleys Diner in Market Deeping hosted the first Trans- Atlantic Harley Rocks, Biker Party in the UK to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of Kegal Harley Davidson in Rockford Illinois USA.
300 invited UK guests rocked the night away on Saturday Night at the same time as Kegal Harley Davidson hosted 4000 customers and friends with a BBQ and Live Bands in the afternoon.
The UK Harley Rocks event was co-ordinated by Cellet Travel on behalf of Rockford Illinois Visitors Bureau to promote tourism to America and Illinois in particular.
The evening started with a “Rolling Thunder” cavalcade of 100 Harley Davidson Motorcycles and other vehicles from Stamford to Market Deeping. Harley Davidson Motorcycle Clubs from throughout the UK attended this event to celebrate Kegal Harley Davidson’s special day and demonstrate that American style motorcycling is alive and well in the UK.
As the Bikes roared into town, Cheerleaders from the local Ministry of Dance School welcomed them into town and add a touch of Americana. Guests then tucked into an authentic American Style BBQ and sampled a wide range of specially imported Hand Crafted American Beers to give them a taste of “Real America”
The event also raised £150 to contribute to the term fund raising efforts for Afghan Heroes.

I wanted to go along and see for myself how the restaurant had been improved and to sample their new menu.
We were greeted by a waitress called Debbie, who was lovely and really made us feel welcome and that nothing was going to be too much trouble.
After sitting with a drink in the bar, we were shown to our table. There was a party of 14 in the restaurant that evening, but this did not detract from the service and attention we received.
After perusing the menu my partner Steve and I were immediately attracted to the taster menu, where you got to sample 3 starters, 3 main courses and 3 desserts – perfect! Our friends opted for the al la carte option, which had a varied selection of dishes, such as - Beer Battered Hake with triple cooked chips, Surf and Turf, BBQ Rack
of Ribs, Potato Gnocchi with Spiced Chicken Breast on Pea Puree as well as vegetarian options and a superb grill menu too. With a childrens menu from £3.95 it is also a great place for families to enjoy superb cooked food. You have to leave a little room for dessert too, the difficulty will be deciding which one to have; Orange Crème Brûlée, Apple and Cinnamon Crumble, cheese board? The list goes on.
The menu had been well thought out, using produce that is sourced locally, which is what a lot of chefs aim for, but do not always achieve. Craig Sampson, the headchef at the Angel is totally committed to using local farms and businesses for his ingredients to prepare the best dishes.
The Angel Hotel also has function rooms available for up to 150 guests, a funky cocktail bar which is ideal for a smaller gathering and can be hired exclusively for private functions.
Do not miss out on the hilarious Angel Comedy Nights – the next one is 24th August 8pm.

You could say that gardening is in my blood, my grandfather as his father before him, a head gardener, my dad a keen and very capable gardener, I think the path I chose was probably inevitable!
Gardening doesn’t just offer us great pleasure but also our children; just the simple act of sowing a seed waiting for the first shoot to appear and watching it grow is enough to inspire a future generation of young gardeners.
To capture the imagination of your young gardeners maybe we should look at plants that excite the senses –• Calendularalovelyannual,brightflowersandastheyfadeseedsof three very different shapes.• Stachysbyzantineor‘lambsear’swithsoftfurryfoliagethatyou can’t resist stroking.• PickingfreshStrawberriesoreatingrawpeasfromthepodnochildcouldresist!• Growingpotatoesinthegroundorifspaceislimitedinlargepotsonyourpatio, when it’s time to harvest them it’s like searching for buried treasure!

A nice way to introduce your children to fruit and vegetable growing is to build a simple raised bed, the wood can be painted and decorated. Put in a strawberry plant, sow successional crops like lettuce, spring onions and beetroot, and longer term crops like carrots, peas and French beans that can just be dug up or picked and eatenraw.Don’tforgettosowarowortwoofannualflowerslikeNigellatoattractlots of bees and other insects for pollination.
A few plants to perhaps avoid in a child friendly garden –• AnythingveryspikylikePyracantha
and Berberis.

Stamford Foodbank is based at All Saints’ & St John’s Church Centre, although all of the Churches in Stamford are pulling together for this great cause.
The Churches involved are - Church Baptist, Life Church, Salvation Army, St Mary & Augustine’s RC, St George’s, St Martin’s, St Mary’s, United Reformed.
How a Foodbank worksFoodbank is an organisation which provides a safety net of 3 days emergency food for people in a financial crisis. Only people with a genuine need of assistance will benefit from this charity, and there is a network of frontline care professionals, trained to identify those people in need.
How you can helpSchools, churches, businesses and individuals donate non-perishable, in-date food to the Foodbank at various collection points around the town.
Supermarket collections are one of the main ways that food is donated, and you will find a shopping trolley at the entrance/exit of the Sainsbury’s store in Stamford, with a list of what food they need most. All they ask is that you purchase one or two extra items within your weekly shop, to give to this worthy cause.
Want to help even more? Could you start a Foodbank collection point at your work, school or church?

OLYMPIC THEME!With the olympics coming to London in the summer of 2012, many people are turning their attention to sports of all kinds. We must remember that when we see all those athletes going for the gold medal, there is so much going on behind the scenes that has propelled that athlete to their current peak position. Years of dedication, motivation & commitment to physical training to hone their skills to where they are today, but it’s not just all about the physical body!
Athletes are great at training the body but many forget
about the mind, failure to recognise the importance of mind
control can hinder sports performance.
Top governing bodies/coaches are at last recognising the
importance of this aspect of development. If your sport does
not already employ someone to help you, then you are at a
disadvantage!!
As a sports hypnotherapist/peak performance consultant,
I can help you to focus on goals & develop the complete
athlete - from improving your golf swing to increasing your
motivation in the gym, all sports benefit from hypnotherapy/
NLP.
Sports psychologists work with sports participants across
both team & individual sports & from amateur to elite
levels of competition. The aim is to predominately help
athletes prepare psychologically for competition & to deal
with the psychological demands of both competition &
training & helping athletes to deal with the psychological
& emotional consequences of sustaining an injury. Exercise
psychologists are concerned with the application of
psychology to increase exercise participation & motivational
levels in the general public - optimising the benefits from
exercise & helping individuals with the implementation of a
plan to take more exercise.
If YOU need assistance in your motivation/commitment
to personal & professional goals,

After all our constant hard work each month, making sure we produce a fabulous magazine for you to read, we decided it was time for some serious R&R for the Scene team. We, therefore decided to head to The Olde Barn at Marston, just north of Grantham.
This charming rustic Spa hotel is set in beautiful countryside and the character and charm of the place is very inviting. We all booked a massage and some of us went for facials, whilst the others had manicures and pedicures using OPI products – it was pure luxury!
The pool, Jacuzzi, sauna and steam room really added to the experience and meant we could all totally relax and unwind. For the more energetic there is a fully equipped gym available, but we were there to chill and chat, so the treadmill was ignored on this occasion.
After a delicious lunch, we continued with our treatments, in between relaxing by the pool. It really was a great day out and only 30 minutes north of Stamford on the A1. We all detoured into Downtown to do some shopping on the way home, which was a perfect ending to a perfect day.

BOCCIA
Boccia is a target sport that tests muscle control and accuracy,
demanding extreme skill and concentration at the highest level.
Believed to have Ancient Greek origins, Boccia is a tough
test of nerve, tactics and skill. Played on a rectangular court
by individuals, pairs and teams, the sport offers both tension
and excitement, as athletes aim to land balls close to a target
ball, across a series of demanding ends. The sport is similar to
boules or petanque and is played competitively in more than 50
countries worldwide.
Boccia is played by wheelchair athletes with cerebral palsy and
related locomotor conditions, with players required to be in a
seated position within a throwing box at one end of the playing
court. A classification system ensures an even playing field for
athletes to compete against others with similar disabilities.
GOAL BALL
Played competitively in more than 100 countries, Goalball
is one of the most popular Paralympic sports. Since it was
developed as a rehabilitation activity for injured soldiers
returning from World War II, Goalball has spread around the
world. Played by visually impaired athletes using a ball with
bells inside, it is among the most exciting team sports on
the Paralympic programme.
Did you know?
Athletes wear blackout masks (eyeshades) on the playing
court, which allows persons with varying degrees of vision
to participate together.
The ball reaches speeds of 60 kilometres per hour – players
literally put their bodies on the line to stop the fast-moving
ball crossing the goal line.
The aim is to score by rolling the ball at speed into the
opposition’s goal, while the opposition attempts to block
the ball with their bodies. Spectators must be quiet during
play so that players can hear the ball (and each other), but
they are free to cheer when a goal is scored. The team that
scores the most goals is the winner.

HISTORY OF THE PARALYMPIC GAMES
In 1948, as the Olympic Games took place
in London, the seeds for future Paralympic
Games were sown. History of the Paralympic
Games Pioneering neurologist Sir Ludwig
Guttmann organised a sports competition at
Stoke Mandeville Hospital to coincide with
the Olympic Games Opening Ceremony. He
had already seen the rehabilitative power of
sport for spinalinjured World War II veterans
and wanted to build on this experience.
Guttmann then continued to repeat the event
every year at about the same time. In 1949, he
is reported to have said in his opening speech
that ‘maybe one day there would be Olympics
for the disabled’. Three years later, in 1952,
Dutch athletes joined the event, creating the
first international games for athletes with a
disability.
In 1960, Rome became the first Host City to use
its Olympic venues for the Paralympic Games,
with 400 athletes from 23 nations participating.
The first Paralympic Winter Games took place in
Örnsköldsvik, Sweden in 1976.
By the time of the Sydney 2000 Games, 18
sports were part of the programme, with
Paralympic Sailing and Wheelchair Rugby
making their debut. The Barcelona 1992 Games
featured 3,021 athletes from 82 nations. The
London 2012 Paralympic Games will feature 20
different sports with as many as 4,200 athletes
from 150 nations taking part.

“Don’t Run before you can Walk!” or
“ Listen to your Body!”
The Olympics can’t help but inspire us to
have a go or increase our exercise levels.
Healthcare professionals encourage daily
exercise and I am no different. However
don’t run before you can walk!
Don’t try to run a marathon without entering
into a structured training programme and
warming up and cooling down pre and post
exercise. Muscles and joints are most vulnerable
when asked to work in a way we haven’t before
or at least not for a long while.
Build exercise regimes up slowly. 20 mins
daily is a good place to start. Begin gently but
enough to raise your heart rate; brisk walking,
jogging, swimming or gardening. Be aware of
your limitations. If you carry excess weight,
start by walking, building gradually and loose
some weight first before you sign up for
exercise classes that look like such fun.
If you start exercising and end up in pain, listen
to your body. It may go away with time but is
just as likely to return unless you get it sorted.
It is difficult for the lay-person to identify
whether pain originates from joints, muscles or
both so my advice would be play it safe. Use
an ice pack rather than heat, especially when
dealing with back pain.
If you want more advice or to discuss an
individual problem then please call Bridget
Bath at Greenacres Chiropractic centre,
Glinton on 01733 254239 (leave a short
message if no reply) or drop me a line at

Viking invasion – with Katie (aged 10)In June I was invited to visit the Peterborough Museum for
the official opening of the Viking Exhibition. I really enjoy
going to museums where I can try things out, play games
and feel like I have been transported back in time. At the
exhibition, I played a Viking game about bartering with
my Mum and also tried loading a model ship with cargo
(without losing any into the sea!). If also got to stand at
the front of a Viking ship trying to sail it across the North
Sea whilst imagining warrior battles and adventure. The
museum is on my Summer ‘to do’ list, so I might see you
there!
** SUMMER OFFER **Until the start of September entrance to the Vikings
exhibition will be half price at just £2 for adults,
£1.25 for children, £1.75 for concessions and £6
for families. Entry to this exhibition is also FREE to

Hair, Pampering & Cakes - with Matthew (aged 7) & Katie (aged 10)We were really lucky to recently be invited to the evening
opening of CJ’s Kids & Teens on Wentworth Street in
Peterborough. The salon looks so cool, with little racing
car seats for toddlers and they can watch DVD’s whilst
they have their haircut. For older children, like us, there
are video games and DVD’s, so Mum can chat away to the
stylist whilst we catch up with a favourite show. Next door
to CJ’s, Margaret’s Tearoom served drinks, sandwiches and
yummy cakes. What a great evening!
Matthew says ‘The salon is so cool! I want my hair cutting
more often now, so I can keep going back’
Katie says ‘I loved the salon, it looks grown up and it’s
still great for children of all ages. I can’t wait to try out
the teens’ side’.

The two key looks this season seen on the catwalks were ‘New Edge’ and ‘Technicolor’. From the catwalk to the high street, these two trends have been adopted by the biggest stores in the business providing fashionable attire from toddlers to teenagers.
H&M’s ‘Celebrate Summer’ collection blends both looks mixing the 80s hot-trend of dungarees with bright neon T’s to create a thoroughly modern, fresh look. The girls are spoilt for choice with checked shirts and frilly dresses a la Cath Kidston whilst the boys will look oh-so-cool in bleached denim and festival-style shirts.
A much less known kid’s collection is that of River Island. Only recently created, the high-street brand has tailored its infamous style to kids producing the first-port-of-call for any fashion-savvy parent! With dresses from £10, jeans from £12 and accessories starting at a mere £1, who could now say no to a child? Vibrantflowerprints,folksyshifttopsandcutesyshortsawait the girls – although a punky comic-book T teamed with bubblegum pink shorts, or punchy leopard-print
denim ensure that there’s just the right about of attitude. Similarly, boys have soft yet vibrant tones, with city-print T’s, neon shades and cool denim to give a stylish LA vibe.
And who can forget good old Debenhams? The giant of the high-street ensures the best of the catwalk comes to you. Jasper Conran’s nautical inspired trends for Debenhams (J by Jasper Conran) give a ‘New England’ feel with miniature chinos, cardigans and Breton T’s for a classic lookthatsuitsbothboysandgirls.‘Butterfly’,byMatthewWilliamson, plays on the eponymous name with sweet girly prints for the younger age range, promoting candyfloss-cute dresses and tops.
All of the high street stores, from H&M to the Debenhams collections, are available online so there really is no excuse for not making sure the little angels look fabulous this summer – although, make sure they don’t outshine the very fashionable you!

MOTORING
The Vauxhall Insignia needs better
wing mirrors. They’re just too small
and narrow to give you a confident
view - especially when changing lanes
on motorways. The other small niggle
is the steering wheel. It’s big enough
to belong in a bus. But these minor
issues are eclipsed by the motor’s
merits.
For a start, the Insignia is a good
looking estate (Sports Tourer in
today’s parlance). It comes loaded
with equipment; it’s practical; it’s
comfortable, and it’s satisfying to
drive. But the model on test here - the
BiTurbo SRi Sports Tourer - is not just
the usual griffin labelled, load-lugging,
mile-muncher. Why? Because under
the bonnet, Vauxhall has shoehorned
in its most commanding diesel engine
ever. It produces 192 bhp and 295 lb/
ft of torque, and yet CO2 emissions
are only 134 g/km.
The heady, twin-sequential
turbocharged oil-burner is based on
the existing 1956 cc unit that powers
key models in the Insignia, Astra
and Zafira Tourer range. However,
in BiTurbo form it delivers an extra
34.5 bhp and a significant 37 lb/ft of
further ‘get-up-and-go’. The result for
the Sports Tourer is 0-60 mph in 8.4
THERE ARE many things I like about this car and just a couple of tiny things I don’t. Let’s get the grumbles out of the way first.
seconds. It’s the sort of acceleration
that gives you that perceptible ‘pulled
back into your seat’ feeling.
Complementing this power gain,
Vauxhall’s FlexRide adaptive damping
is standard on all Insignia BiTurbos
(normally a £790 option on front-
wheel drive models). The system
can ‘learn’ how you drive the car and
adapts the dampers accordingly. You
can also select Tour and Sport buttons,
and configure the throttle, steering
and damper settings in Sport mode
separately.
The result is a car which is more
rewarding to drive than many other
large turbo diesel motors on the market.
In Sport mode it’s taut, quick, and it
takes corners on rails. In Tour mode it’s

one which will give you a magic carpet
ride to work. In normal mode, it’s
simply a good estate car with poke.
Unsurprisingly, the Sports Tourer has
a big area for loading, and cleverly,
under the powered tailgate (which
incorporates the rear light clusters),
there is an additional set of rear lights,
making the car highly visible to other
road users if you need to sort out your
luggage after the sun has gone down.
Finally, thanks to a package of eco
features – including standard Start/
Stop across the range – the Insignia
BiTurbo Sports Tourer manages to
achieve a combined 55.4 mpg. This
is the last piece of the jigsaw to
make the car a great all-rounder. It’s
economical and spacious enough to be
the main family car; its emissions are
low enough to make it an affordable
yet very smart business motor, and, of
course, the potency of its engine will
bring out the devil in you when you feel
the need for speed.

The Great Migration
A Safari is never complete without witnessing one of the most
spectacular phenomenon’s that is forever the subject of books
& documentaries, the annual migration from the Serengeti
in Tanzania to the Masai Mara in Kenya. The main spectacle
takes place during July & August each year when hoards of
wildebeests, zebras and gazelles make the 500 mile trip with
the pinnacle being the excitement of the river crossings. Also
seen are elephants, black rhinos, buffalos, hartebeests, hippos
and crocodiles, which all in all make for a breath-taking sight.
Outside of these months you can still witness the migration as
the herds move around the plains of Tanzania’s Serengeti.

route you take, reaching the summit is all too spectacular
with some unrivalled views above the Tanzanian clouds and
looking over Kenya. This is the ultimate African adventure with
climbs taking between 5 to 9 days, it’s wise to not take Mount
Kilimanjaro lightly and allow for acclimatisation, and for those
who prefer something less demanding there is the alternative
of Cape Town’s Table Mountain in South Africa which is more
leisurely for the casual walker with over 350 different routes.
Sardine Run
The ‘Sardine Season’ starts in May and runs through to the
end of July, and the best place to be for this fishy frenzy is the
South African region of KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) and its endless
coastline. The season is triggered when millions of sardines
travel from their spawning grounds near the southern tip
of Africa and head east following the South African coast
northwards toward KZN. They follow a route close to the shore,

where countless fishermen prepare to catch them as bait.
With the vast shoals of fish, it’s a hotspot for predators such

this such an exciting natural wonder.

our very own tropical island, well the newfound ‘Capital of

exclusive island paradise as you live the life of a superstar
doing what you want, when you want!
White-Water Rafting on the Zambezi
After hurtling down the spectacular Victoria Falls, the Zambezi
River cuts through a slender gorge for roughly 75 miles and
creates some of the most exhilarating rapids in the world.
Unlike others, this can be completed by a beginner, so long
as you’re willing to hold on tight as you tear down the Grade
5 rapids in a little inflatable! Or if you’d rather not swim with the
Hippos, so to speak, take a flight over Victoria Falls and really
appreciate their force and sheer size from above or see the falls
up-close from both the Zambian & Zimbabwean side. This is
really the perfect place for the inner adrenaline-junkie!

NEW feature! Recommended by South Lincolnshire Libraries
A Room Full of BonesBy Elly Griffiths Quercus, 2012. £7.99
The Submission by Amy Waldman Windmill Books £7.99
A jury gathers in Manhattan to select a memorial for the victims of a devastating terrorist attack. Their fraught deliberations complete, the jurors open the envelope containing the anonymous winner’s name. The discover he is an American Muslim.
The fourth in a series featuring forensic archaeologist Dr Ruth Galloway. “You can bury the coffin but you can’t bury the secret…” - it is Halloween night, and the local museum in King’s Lynn is preparing
for an unusual event – the opening of a coffin containing the bones of a medieval bishop. But when Ruth Galloway arrives to supervise, she finds the museum’s curator lying dead beside the coffin. A gripping novel with a Norfolk setting, this is an absorbing read with an engaging
and realistic heroine in Ruth Galloway. A read that takes you to Norfolk, into a world of bones, history, and sinister happenings and keeps you turning the pages. If you prefer to read the series in order, the first is ‘The Crossing Places’ (2009).
The Great Silence: 1918-1920 Living in the Shadow of the Great War By Juliet Nicolson John Murray Publishers Ltd. £9.99
Peace at last, after Lloyd George declared it had been ‘the war to end all wars’, would surely bring relief and a renewed sense of optimism? The Great Silence is the story of the pause between 1918 and 1920. A two-
minute silence to celebrate those who died was underpinned by a more enduring silence born out of national grief. Some struggled to come to terms with the last four years, while others were anxious to move towards a new future.
Change came to women, who were given the vote only five years after Emily
Davidson had thrown herself on the ground at Ascot race course, to the poor, determined to tolerate their condition no longer, and to those permanently scarred, mentally and physically,bytheconflict.Whetheritwasembraced or rejected, change had arrived as the impact of a tragic war was gradually absorbed.
They are cast into a debate about grief, art and the meaning of Islam. When the news of the selection leaks to the press, outraged family members collide with hungry journalists, wary activists and opportunistic politicians.
Great holiday read!

£Who Cares Who Pays?
The media is full of talk about the government’s latest efforts to fund care for
the elderly. The latest ‘Big Idea’ is to allow people to borrow against the value
of their home to fund care, with the home being sold to pay off the debts after
the elderly person has died.

The media is full of talk about the government’s latest efforts
to fund care for the elderly. The latest ‘Big Idea’ is to allow
people to borrow against the value of their home to fund care,
with the home being sold to pay off the debts after the elderly
person has died.
What this doesn’t do is to solve the problem of assets that
you have amassed in your lifetime being used up to pay for
care instead of being passed on to you family. So is there
anything that you can do to protect your assets for future
generations.
The short answer is YES but only if you make the right plans.
One in three of us will need long term care in later life, but
the sad fact is that very few of us plan for the care we might
need. What your plan involves will depend on where you are
on your journey towards care and will differ greatly if you are
on the cusp of going in to care. But you can rest assured that
all is not necessarily lost, your care plan will include Lasting
Power of Attorney Documents and an appropriate Will. It may
include, reordering your investments, placing assets or your
property in trust. Purchasing insurance or annuities may also
form a part of your plan.
The bottom line is that every person’s circumstances are
different, so if you want to avoid the care lottery you need to
talk to somebody.
Call us today to arrange a free initial consultation
to discuss your personal circumstances
and needs – 01778 342291.
