It has since become one of the most highly regarded institutions in Europe under the stewardship of the <a href=\"http://www.slam.nhs.uk/our-services/hospital-care/bethlem-royal-hospital\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NHS</a>.\r\n\r\nThroughout the day, students had the opportunity to explore artwork created by patients of Bethlem hospital. They also saw historic photographs of the institution and read from a selection of letters written by staff and patients over the years.\r\n\r\nThe excursion took place as part of the school’s burgeoning Psychology curriculum. Teachers designed the day to help pupils contextualise modern day approaches to mental health issues.\r\n\r\nThe trip continued LOGS’ ongoing efforts to create a more open discussion about mental health. A few months ago, staff underwent mental health first aid training. In the junior school, teachers have also tasked pupils with ‘Happiness Homework’.\r\n\r\nHead of Psychology, Lauren Burns, said: “It was fascinating to see how attitudes to mental health have changed. The stigma and discrimination of the late Middle Ages has fortunately been replaced by a much better understanding.\r\n\r\n“Our students really came to terms with how stigma can affect treatment and recovery. I think we all left feeling informed and inspired.

We would not have been able to relocate to our beautiful new home in Cuckfield without the incredible support of Nass and his Business Pulse Network.

Thanks to them, we now support more than 40 families with access to free weekly hands-on early intervention sessions, music therapy and swimming sessions, as well as outreach support in their own homes.”\r\n\r\nThe Dame Vera Lynn Children’s Charity supports children under 5 years of age who have cerebral palsy and other motor learning disabilities at its centre in Cuckfield, West Sussex.\r\n\r\nSince the Charity was established in 2001, it has helped more than 500 families across the South East.  It receives no statutory funding and relies entirely on the community to raise the money needed to continue providing its services.\r\n\r\nFor more information about the Dame Vera Lynn Children’s Charity, call 01444 473274 or email: <a href=\"mailto:info@dvlcc.org.uk\">info@dvlcc.org.uk</a> or visit <a href=\"http://www.dvlcc.org.uk\">www.dvlcc.org.uk</a>.\r\n\r\n--end--                                                   4 June 2018\r\n\r\n[gallery columns=\"6\" ids=\"15382,15394\"]','Networking day at Goodwood raises thousands for Dame Vera’s Charity','','inherit','closed','closed','','15381-revision-v1','','','2018-06-04 10:49:59','2018-06-04 10:49:59','',15381,'http://www.leagraham.com/15381-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(15399,9,'2018-06-04 10:52:46','2018-06-04 10:52:46','','<i class=\"icon-twitter\"></i>','','publish','closed','closed','','15399','','','2018-06-04 10:52:52','2018-06-04 10:52:52','',0,'http://www.leagraham.com/?p=15399',2,'nav_menu_item','',0),(15400,9,'2018-06-04 10:52:47','2018-06-04 10:52:47','','<i class=\"icon-linkedin\"></i>','','publish','closed','closed','','15400','','','2018-06-04 10:52:52','2018-06-04 10:52:52','',0,'http://www.leagraham.com/?p=15400',3,'nav_menu_item','',0),(15401,9,'2018-06-04 13:46:08','0000-00-00 00:00:00','Sussex filmmakers Matthew and Michael Rowney have added Hugh Bonneville to the cast of their latest project.\n\nHe will lend his vocal talents to ‘<em>Odilo Fabian or (The Possibility of Impossible Dreams</em>)’, a short film due to be released later this year.\n\nBonneville, who has recently starred in ‘Downton Abbey’ and the ‘Paddington’ franchise, will play the Narrator in \'Odilo Fabian\'.\n\nThe all-star cast already includes Kacey Ainsworth (Call The Midwife) and Isabelle Allen (Netflix’s <em>Safe</em> and Les Miserables).\n\nLouisa Connolly-Burnham (Wolfblood) and Luke Brandon-field (American Poltergeist) also have starring roles.\n\n“We are thrilled to welcome Hugh on board ‘Odilo Fabian’,” said Matthew Rowney, director of the film. “We’ve always been huge fans of his work and his distinctive voice is the perfect fit for our project. ‘Odilo Fabian’ has a really important message about hope and optimism, and there’s no doubt Hugh’s talent will lend the story the authority we were looking for.”\n\n‘Odilo Fabian’ tells the story of an optimist on the outskirts of a town called Doubt, who uses wishes and nature to grow himself a real chance at love.\n\nThe film has already enjoyed success on the festival circuit.

Dipping their paws into many aspects of live performance, they also had the chance to create the scenery and decor for the show with the help of Year 4 teacher Alice Shelbourn.\r\n\r\nIf the audience thought the costumes looked authentic that is because Julia Tucknott, the Senior School Drama Teacher, sourced them from a company based in Botswana.

Therefore, the news that the Burgess Hill Martlets Hall has been closed down and is to be demolished is a saddening one for the Forces Sweetheart and her family.\r\n\r\nHaving been built in 1972, The Martlets has contributed significantly to the live arts scene and community spirit in Burgess Hill for almost fifty years. Its closure comes as part of the £65 million project to redevelop the town centre. However, with no official plans for its replacement, Dame Vera and her family have said that they believe the Council’s decision could deprive the town of its cultural core.\r\n\r\n“The Martlets Hall is a significant part of the town’s cultural centre and has touched the lives of numerous Burgess Hill residents,” says Virginia Lewis-Jones, Dame Vera’s daughter. “It is in small theatres such as Martlets that many of today’s stars have learnt their trade and began their careers.

He is best known for starring opposite Julia Roberts in <em>Sleeping with the Enemy </em>and Harrison Ford in <em>Patriot Games</em>.\r\n\r\nHe will now appear in \'<em>Odilo Fabian or (The Possibility of Impossible Dreams)</em>\', which is due to enter the festival circuit later this year.\r\n\r\nThe cast of the fantasy film already includes Sussex actors Hugh Bonneville (<em>Paddington 2</em>) and Isabelle Allen (Netflix’s <em>SAFE</em>). Kacey Ainsworth (<em>Call the Midwife</em>) also stars.\r\n\r\nLuke Brandon-Field plays the titular role of Odilo Fabian, and will next be seen in <em>Jojo Rabbit </em>with Scarlett Johansson.\r\n\r\n\"It was great working with such talented and enthusiastic filmmakers,\" said Patrick, who lives in Newhaven. \"The storyline is different and intriguing. It bodes very well for my hope of developing a strong film community in the local area.”\r\n\r\nThe brothers filmed the majority of <em>Odilo Fabian</em> in Borde Hill Gardens, Haywards Heath.\r\n\r\nMatthew, who directed the film, added: “Sussex has been a brilliant backdrop for us - many filmmakers pay money to create the kind of locations we have on our doorstep. Working with Patrick was a fantastic experience and I\'m excited to continue building a film network in this part of England.\"\r\n\r\nMichael, who has won several international awards for his <em>Odilo Fabian</em> script, added: “We can\'t wait to bring our little film to audiences. Sussex has a rich cinematic history dating back to the silent film era and we think it\'s high time some of that spirit is revived.\"\r\n\r\n<em>Odilo Fabian</em> tells the story of an optimist on the outskirts of a town called Doubt, who uses wishes to grow himself a real chance at Love.\r\n\r\nFor more information on about the Rowney Brothers\' projects, visit their website <a href=\"http://rowneybros.co.uk\">rowneybros.co.uk</a>\r\n\r\n--end--  23 July 2018\r\n\r\n[gallery columns=\"6\" ids=\"15554,15555\"]','Brothers back Sussex film community','','inherit','closed','closed','','15553-revision-v1','','','2018-07-31 09:35:09','2018-07-31 09:35:09','',15553,'http://www.leagraham.com/15553-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(15579,7,'2018-07-31 13:06:40','2018-07-31 13:06:40','<h2>Chloe the Cat\'s Column: CATching some rays</h2>\r\nWith this gorgeous summer sun and heat-wave weather, most of you have been rushing outside to catch some vitamin D.\r\n\r\nHaving ditched the winter warmers and put aside even the lightest of jackets it is now bare legs, cotton clothing and sunglasses that are reigning over Sussex and the rest of the UK.\r\n\r\nHowever, not all of us are lucky enough to be able to switch up our closet with such ease.

I’ve experienced oxygen deprivation on balloon flights before. When you reach 10,000ft it’s like having your first gin and tonic when you get in from work… it hits you but then the body adjusts.”\r\n\r\nThe couple’s cramped, 1.8m x 1.4m super-light, British-made basket will carry oxygen cylinders and masks together with natural wool clothing and a sleeping bag to insulate them from the cold – “We will avoid static by wearing wool and cotton,” says Mike.\r\n\r\nThe couple will keep in touch with Mission Control at home in Lindfield, West Sussex, primarily via smartphone and a solar-powered iPad, loaded with a unique app that allows Mike to monitor the flight while Deborah is asleep.

But the #BalloonthePond flight will be his toughest yet.\r\n\r\n“More have failed than succeeded in crossing the Atlantic by balloon,” says Mike, who is currently training to improve his physical endurance with Deborah.\r\n\r\n“I find exercise is a big motivator and a boost, both physically and mentally.

It condenses more than half a century’s experience of family history research in a detailed yet easily accessible guide from a researcher with an enviable international reputation.\r\n\r\n“I have used my own genealogical journey to cover every aspect of family history, offering tips and shortcuts to smooth the beginner’s path in what can be a treacherous field”, explains the author. “The popular TV shows do make it all look rather easy when in fact it is much more involved than it appears on the screen. That said, this is not a book just for the inexperienced”\r\n\r\nThe guide has been endorsed by the county archivist for East Sussex. Christopher Whittick says: “You may not be a Street-wise genealogist when you start this book, but you certainly will be when you finish it.”\r\n\r\nLady Teviot has decades of experience to call on, having run the professional genealogical research company Census Searches which provides expert scrutiny into family history, probate and media investigation. This has taken her on lecture tours across the globe and she was made President of the Federation of Family History Societies, and is now a life vice-president.\r\n\r\nProviding a practical, expert and insider-guide to tracing family history, the book covers research methods from the traditional paper-based ones to the wealth of online resources now easily accessible. “My aim, from the outset, was to unravel the mystery because I hear from so many people who say they begin the journey only to hit a brick wall early on. Their instinct is to give up at that point when, with a little help, they could continue in what could well be a fascinating personal endeavour”, adds Lady Teviot.\r\n\r\nWhatever point you are at in researching your past, whether just beginning the journey or at a complete halt along the way,this Street-wise guide is sure to be of enormous benefit. It can help you overcome obstacles and provide much-needed pointers in the direction of where to look next.\r\n\r\nThe book is available from Lady Teviot’s Census Searches website <a href=\"http://www.ladyteviot.co.uk/\">www.ladyteviot.co.uk/</a>\r\n\r\n---ENDS--- 30 August 2018','Going back to your roots','','inherit','closed','closed','','15624-revision-v1','','','2018-08-30 12:31:48','2018-08-30 12:31:48','',15624,'http://www.leagraham.com/15624-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(15635,7,'2018-08-30 13:38:57','2018-08-30 13:38:57','<strong>Bio-Productions make a splash with doggy paddle pool</strong>\r\n\r\nCleaning chemicals company Bio-Productions are proving that every dog has its day, by helping cute canine Bella get fighting fit.\r\n\r\nUntil recently, the nine-year-old Whippet/Staffordshire terrier cross was having mobility issues due to injuries sustained to her back and legs. Now, her owner Eric Martyr says his dog is bounding and barking like a six-month-old pup.\r\n\r\nThe remarkable difference is down to a cunning plan he hatched with the help of Bio-Productions.\r\n\r\n“I had taken Bella to receive laser treatment but it didn’t do much good,” Eric says. “The vet suggested that we take her for hydrotherapy sessions but the costs were adding up and it wasn’t sustainable.”\r\n\r\nAs a retired science technician, Eric’s wife, Cheryl, encouraged him to get creative and he soon spotted an industrial bulk container (IBC) outside Bio-Productions’ purpose-built facility on the Victoria Business Park in Burgess Hill.\r\n\r\nThe IBC, which is designed to store an impressive 1,000 litres of liquid, was the perfect size for a stay-at-home hydrotherapy pool and Eric wasted no time by getting in touch.\r\n\r\n“I spoke with Phil Karn, a director at Bio-Productions, and explained why I wanted to the tub,” Eric continues. “Bella was abused as a puppy and kicked repeatedly by her previous owner. Creating a hydrotherapy pool was really our last attempt to try and restore some mobility for her. Through that, we wanted to give her back some quality of life – and we have.”\r\n\r\nWith Bio-Productions’ blessing, Eric set about adapting the tank for hydrotherapy. The process involved relocating the container to the bottom of his garden and balancing the water pressure to a tepid 27 degrees Celsius. With the project successfully completed, Eric takes Bella on regular rehab sessions in the converted IBC which resides in his back garden.\r\n\r\nAnd, while Bella could only manage one minute in the pool at first, she now manages to doggy paddle for a full three minutes, equivalent to three-miles of exercise.\r\n\r\n“Bella’s story really struck a chord with our team,” Phil Karn comments. “Our whole company philosophy centres on recycling, but never before has that meant turning one of our massive containers into a pool for pooches! We were more than happy to help, and I’m so happy to hear that Bella’s sessions are going well and that she’s back on her paws again.”\r\n\r\nBella’s unconventional rehabilitation was just the start of a friendship between Bio-Productions and animal-loving Eric. As a thank you to the Burgess Hill business, he has donated funds to a team member’s Race for Life sponsored walk, which is set to take place on September 1.\r\n\r\n---end---     30 August 2018\r\n\r\n[gallery ids=\"15639,15640,15641,15642,15645\"]','Bio-Productions make a splash with doggy paddle pool','','publish','closed','open','','bio-productions-make-a-splash-with-doggy-paddle-pool','','','2018-08-30 13:54:55','2018-08-30 13:54:55','',0,'http://www.leagraham.com/bio-productions-make-a-splash-with-doggy-paddle-pool/',0,'post','',0),(15636,7,'2018-08-30 13:40:33','2018-08-30 13:40:33','','Bella-group','','inherit','closed','closed','','bella-group','','','2018-08-30 13:40:33','2018-08-30 13:40:33','',15635,'http://www.leagraham.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Bella-group.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(15637,7,'2018-08-30 13:41:24','2018-08-30 13:41:24','','BioBella2','','inherit','closed','closed','','biobella2','','','2018-08-30 13:41:24','2018-08-30 13:41:24','',15635,'http://www.leagraham.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/BioBella2.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(15638,7,'2018-08-30 13:53:39','2018-08-30 13:53:39','<strong>Bio-Productions make a splash with doggy paddle pool</strong>\n\nCleaning chemicals company Bio-Productions are proving that every dog has its day, by helping cute canine Bella get fighting fit.\n\nUntil recently, the nine-year-old Whippet/Staffordshire terrier cross was having mobility issues due to injuries sustained to her back and legs.

They observed an Olive Ridley turtle at close range, before helping local conservation workers measure and tag her.\r\n\r\nThe three week trip was organised by Lewes-based Working Abroad, which matches volunteers with environmental and social projects across the world. Playa Tortuga is a non-profit biological research and education centre founded by two citizen scientists to promote research, data gathering, species monitoring, and community education and outreach programmes.\r\n\r\nAmong the students’ other tasks was to place cameras in the rainforest to track mammals, including racoon, agouti and ocelot, make ‘monkey walks’ to observe capuchin and howler monkeys, and assist rangers in finding and measuring tree boa and caimen.

This conservation expedition was quite literally a chance to expand pupil’s horizons by sailing into the vast expanse of the ocean and we are very grateful to the Tethys Institute for allowing these young people to be part of their research.”\n\n--end--\n\n[gallery columns=\"6\" ids=\"15702,15701,15700,15699,15698,15697,15696,15695,15694,15693\"]','Sussex students broaden their horizons in Italy','','inherit','closed','closed','','15690-autosave-v1','','','2018-10-08 10:10:53','2018-10-08 10:10:53','',15690,'http://www.leagraham.com/15690-autosave-v1/',0,'revision','',0),
