PR professionals are engaged to maintain a positive image and build a strong association with your brand. It is a discipline that looks after reputation, with the aim of influencing opinion and long-term behaviour.\n\nThink of it as future-proofing. There are many elements of PR, including organised networking, communicating with the media, and directly addressing your audience via social media. All should be part of a planned, integrated and sustained effort to establish and maintain goodwill and mutual understanding between an organisation and its public.\n\nMarketing has much shorter term objectives. It’s primarily interested in seeing a fast return on investment through sales – and ROI is often measured in the number of new customers a campaign attracts. It uses a slightly different tool set, including advertising, events and promotions, to get an instant action from the consumer.\n\nMarketeer’s skills complement those in PR, since a successful marketing campaign leverages the awareness and goodwill, even susceptibility, that a well-thought out PR strategy creates.\n\nLGA offers a range of above and below-the-line promotional services, including:\n<ul>\n 	<li>PR strategy</li>\n 	<li>News release and feature writing</li>\n 	<li>Copywriting</li>\n 	<li>Media management</li>\n 	<li>Social media advertising</li>\n 	<li>Copywriting for external newsletters</li>\n 	<li>Copy-editing</li>\n 	<li>Product launches</li>\n 	<li>Social media campaign building</li>\n 	<li>Blogging and vlogging</li>\n 	<li>Broadcast media training</li>\n 	<li>Commercial photography</li>\n 	<li>On location and in-studio video production</li>\n</ul>\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row]','External public relations and marketing','Over the years the company has actively encouraged work experience placements from young people - some still at school and others in full-time degree education studying media and public relations.','inherit','closed','closed','','12634-revision-v1','','','2017-02-13 15:00:54','2017-02-13 15:00:54','',12634,'http://www.leagraham.com/12634-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(13059,3,'2017-02-13 15:10:07','2017-02-13 15:10:07','','PREVIEW','','inherit','closed','closed','','preview','','','2017-02-13 15:10:07','2017-02-13 15:10:07','',12,'http://www.leagraham.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/PREVIEW.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(13060,3,'2017-02-13 15:10:21','2017-02-13 15:10:21','[vc_row full_width=\"stretch_row\" css=\".vc_custom_1480063504702{padding-top: 26px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;background-color: #ecebe7 !important;}\"][vc_column width=\"1/3\"][vc_column_text]<a href=\"https://www.leagraham.com/contact-us/free-initial-consultation/\" target=\"_blank\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1322\" src=\"https://www.leagraham.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/GIFT.png\" alt=\"gift\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" /></a>[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=\"2/3\"][vc_column_text]\n<h1>Meet the team</h1>\n<h2>LGA is known for its imaginative and powerful campaigns, innovative solutions, strong client relations, collaboration - and our success is down to our collective experience and a closely knit team.</h2>\nAs original thinkers, we are passionate about PR and have an impressive track record.

Some companies are shy of offering work placements to young people –we’d urge them to embrace it because over the years it’s repaid us a thousand-fold.\n\nThe students have gained much from working in a small, full-service PR consultancy where they have experienced all aspects of public relations.\n\nAt the same time, the Lea Graham team has learned what tomorrow’s media professionals are being taught, benefited from their insight as young consumers and learned an awful lot about new social media! LGA is still in regular contact with the majority of those we’ve mentored, many whom have gone on to fulfil their ambitions in high-profile positions within the media industry.\n\nAnd it’s not just young people who need a guide – new enterpreneurs of any age and individuals looking for a career change or a return to work can also benefit from the wisdom of someone who’s been there, done that and got the T-shirt. Which is why LGA\'s MD Susan Fleet recently agreed to become a ViewVo mentor.\n\nViewVo is a unique initiative set up by chartered business psychologist Lucy Standing, which allows individuals to \'test drive\' alternative careers in order to find the right vocation for them.

Its members are bound by the motto: ‘In action faithful and in honour clear’.\r\nAt any one time, there are just 65 Companions of Honour throughout the Commonwealth, including the sovereign; the Queen currently has 48, featuring such luminaries as Dame Maggie Smith and Dame Judy Dench, Stephen Hawking and Desmond Tutu. Just eight of the Companions are women.\r\n“I am truly delighted to become a Companion of Honour,” said Dame Vera. “In accepting this award, I do so in remembrance of all our wonderful brave boys who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. And I am grateful for the opportunity it gives me to highlight the work of the charities I am associated with. It\'s a chance for me to show my admiration in particular for the children affected by cerebral palsy and the carers who support them.\"\r\nDuring the Second World War, Dame Vera Lynn became a household name with classic songs We’ll Meet Again, The White Cliffs Of Dover and There\'ll Always Be An England.\r\nIn 1941, she began her own radio programme, Sincerely Yours, sending messages to British troops abroad and performing songs most requested by them, accompanied by her own quartet. She visited hospitals to interview new mothers and send personal messages to their husbands overseas, and later toured Egypt, India and Burma, giving outdoor concerts for the troops with piano accompaniment from Len Edwards.\r\nIn addition to her renowned entertainment career, she has also dedicated more than six decades to charity work for ex-servicemen, disabled children and breast cancer. In 1953, she formed a cerebral palsy charity SOS and in 1976, The Vera Lynn Charity Breast Cancer Research Trust was founded.\r\nIn 2002, Dame Vera became the founder and figurehead of the cerebral palsy charity The Dame Vera Lynn Children’s Charity, based in Billingshurst, West Sussex, which provides support and education for affected families.\r\nShe remains involved with countless other charitable organisations throughout the UK and beyond; within the last few months, she has been given an outstanding contribution award from the Soldering On Charity and has become honorary president of St Peter &amp; St James Hospice close to where she lives.\r\nThe honour is not the first time that Dame Vera has been recognised by the Queen.

Its members are bound by the motto: ‘In action faithful and in honour clear’.\r\nAt any one time, there are just 65 Companions of Honour throughout the Commonwealth, including the sovereign; the Queen currently has 48, featuring such luminaries as Dame Maggie Smith and Dame Judy Dench, Stephen Hawking and Desmond Tutu. Just eight of the Companions are women.\r\n“I am truly delighted to become a Companion of Honour,” said Dame Vera. “In accepting this award, I do so in remembrance of all our wonderful brave boys who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. And I am grateful for the opportunity it gives me to highlight the work of the charities I am associated with. It\'s a chance for me to show my admiration in particular for the children affected by cerebral palsy and the carers who support them.\"\r\nDuring the Second World War, Dame Vera Lynn became a household name with classic songs We’ll Meet Again, The White Cliffs Of Dover and There\'ll Always Be An England.\r\nIn 1941, she began her own radio programme, Sincerely Yours, sending messages to British troops abroad and performing songs most requested by them, accompanied by her own quartet. She visited hospitals to interview new mothers and send personal messages to their husbands overseas, and later toured Egypt, India and Burma, giving outdoor concerts for the troops with piano accompaniment from Len Edwards.\r\nIn addition to her renowned entertainment career, she has also dedicated more than six decades to charity work for ex-servicemen, disabled children and breast cancer. In 1953, she formed a cerebral palsy charity SOS and in 1976, The Vera Lynn Charity Breast Cancer Research Trust was founded.\r\nIn 2002, Dame Vera became the founder and figurehead of the cerebral palsy charity The Dame Vera Lynn Children’s Charity, based in Billingshurst, West Sussex, which provides support and education for affected families.\r\nShe remains involved with countless other charitable organisations throughout the UK and beyond; within the last few months, she has been given an outstanding contribution award from the Soldering On Charity and has become honorary president of St Peter &amp; St James Hospice close to where she lives.\r\nThe honour is not the first time that Dame Vera has been recognised by the Queen. She was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in 1969 and Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE) in 1975.\r\n------\r\nCITATION:\r\nWidely known as the Forces’ Sweetheart, Dame Vera Lynn is an English singer, songwriter and actress whose voice moved and inspired the entire country during the Second World War, during which she toured Egypt, India and Burma, giving outdoor concerts for the troops with the Entertainment National Services Association.

I wish Mike a happy 15th Anniversary and wish him and his team the very best for the future.”\r\n\r\nThe party followed the first in a series of expert daytime seminars to be staged by Mike Oliver Associates and MOA Estate Planning Ltd.\r\n\r\nEntitled ‘Live Long and Prosper’, it explored key areas of financial planning throughout life such as mortgages, protection, pensions, savings, retirement options, estate planning, and the sensitive issues around care and how to pay for it. There was also a special insight into cyber security and keeping safe online.\r\n\r\nThe presentations were a taste of things to come, led by Mike Oliver and delivered by protection specialist Kevin Kent, wills and estate planning adviser Jeff Meers, information security graduate Sabrina Brookfield as well as Andra Houchen and Fatima Mirza from Haywards Heath Town Council.\r\n\r\n“Judging by the brilliant response to our first financial health seminar there is clearly a real appetite for more forums like this where people can receive impartial information on key areas of financial concern and ask questions of expert advisers. So we have decided to roll out further sessions later this year,” said Mike.\r\n\r\n…end… 13 February 2017\r\n\r\n[gallery columns=\"6\" ids=\"13075,13076,13074\"]','Singing IFA hits all the right notes','','inherit','closed','closed','','13073-revision-v1','','','2017-02-14 10:35:50','2017-02-14 10:35:50','',13073,'http://www.leagraham.com/13073-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(13079,3,'2016-07-14 10:36:15','2016-07-14 10:36:15','<h1>Award is icing on the cake in agency’s 30th anniversary year</h1>\r\nLea Graham Associates received a surprise 30th birthday present on Friday night with an award for its founder and MD.\r\n\r\nSusan Fleet, who set up Lea Graham Associates (LGA) in Burgess Hill in 1986 and went on to launch its sister agency Lea Graham Entertainment with her husband Graham in 1990, was honoured for her Outstanding Contribution to the Community in front of colleagues and clients at the Gatwick Hilton.\r\n\r\nThe Sussex Business Matters Award recognised not only Susan’s achievement in delivering PR and marketing services for more than 30 years, but also her profound personal impact on the local community through fundraising, mentoring and pro-bono services.\r\n\r\nA ‘Burgess Hill girl’ and talented semi-professional singer, Susan organised her first charity event at the tender age of 13, staging the first of what was to become a remarkable series of concerts that have raised hundreds of thousands of pounds for good causes over the past 45 years.

You can seem like a true magician, guru or Jedi. Great when it works, but can you afford to charge ahead and get it wrong? Sometimes it pays to communicate as well as anticipate. Why? Because your clients are human.\r\n\r\nA clear lesson from 2016 was that human beings are not predictable creatures. Polls and data failed to predict the outcomes of two significant public votes –the UK referendum on EU membership and the US presidential election. Voters don’t always do what you expect, what they did last time or what their demographic says they should. Clients are no different – they can and will surprise you.\r\n\r\nOne of the highest grossing films of 2016 was Rogue One: A Star Wars Story - a highly anticipated new instalment of the Star Wars franchise, now owned by Disney. As the year progressed, news emerged that the film had been subjected to a substantial reshoot. The eager fans rolled their eyes and took to the internet message boards. It was clear what must have happened.\r\n\r\nThe film was due to be a dark, gritty tale of conflict and espionage set within the (usually family friendly) Star Wars universe. As the film was to be a prequel, the audience already knew the situation the story had to travel towards and thus knew it required a tough, bleak conclusion. A reshoot was obviously meddling on the part of Disney. The happy, fluffy, Mickey Mouse corporation had clearly demanded a more sugar-coated version be released – one that made less sense plot-wise but better suited their brand. Only this wasn’t the case.\r\n\r\nThe reverse was true. The director, Gareth Edwards later explained to Empire Magazine that the initial screenplay had tried to anticipate such a position by Disney. The client’s needs had been assumed and a ‘Disnified’ story written. Only the client had surprised the writers. Disney had recognised the fact that a saccharine filled version of the story would make little sense and, if anything, the reshoot was eventually undertaken for the opposite reasons than those posited by fans back in the summer – to darken the tone and tell a more engaging, workable story.\r\n\r\nThe film was a success. There was little to no sugar. Hollywood studios can afford to reshoot and rectify this kind of wrong assumption. Not every small business can. Closer communication between the parties could have prevented this situation. Given the unpredictability of humans, how confident are you that you have 100% anticipated your client’s needs? Can you afford to be? This example is particularly pointed as the studio initially made what they knew to be the ‘wrong’ style of film based on what they thought their client would appreciate.\r\n\r\nSuch incongruity should warrant a discussion before forging ahead.\r\n\r\nYou may not be penning a sci-fi blockbuster this year, but you may be in a position to gain an advantage by anticipating a client’s needs. If you’re 100% confident , then great. If you have any reservations – especially if you feel you’re doing the wrong thing on the assumption that the client believes it to be right – there is certainly cause for communication.\r\n\r\nThere’s nothing wrong with wanting to get things right first time.

Our job is to help you choose the right channels, fit the content to the purpose and make sure you’re heard.\n\nThat might involve writing a press release for local or business media; almost certainly it will include social media messaging. It could be that you need us to author a bid document that communicates just how good you are, or sometimes just to create the right environment and let the organisation and the individuals do the talking for themselves.\n\nTraditionally, all these communication roles have been siloed in different departments or with multiple outside agencies. At LGA we’re fortunate in having access to expertise in every area that influences how an organisation is perceived.\n\nUsing our combined skills and experience across a diverse range of industries, including PR, project support and corporate entertainment, we can help you start some great conversations.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=\"stretch_row\" gap=\"15\"

Then let’s plan your escape...</h2>\nIs your team fed up with forced bonding over paintball? Are your clients jaded by presentations in anonymous executive suites with floppy corporate canapés?\n\nThrough our innovative partnership with Basecamp Southdowns, LGA can provide a unique, alternative work or play day only a short hop from London in a glorious location with award-winning local food.\n\nLed by Debbie and Darren Greenfield, Basecamp Southdowns builds its corporate away days and team building around themed \'guided walks and activities (some seasonal, such as grape picking!) in the Sussex Downs, providing your staff with a wide range of beautiful and inspirational thinking spaces, far from the routine and demands of daily workloads, that will definitely blow away the corporate cobwebs.\n\nWalks are structured to cater for different fitness levels and interests and are designed to be inclusive and strengthen relationships among the group as we discover the secrets and stories behind the landscape together.\n\nFor those seeking to include a more formal element to the day, we have a wide variety of exceptional venues ‘far away from it all’ in the folds of the Downs where we can facilitate or provide workshop leaders and inspirational speakers. This can be organised as a standalone event or part of a bespoke multi activity day to meet your key commercial objectives for teams or clients.\n\nWe can offer a range of alternative activities inspired by the landscape and heritage of the Downs, all designed to support client management and team bonding, enable focused planning, raise performance and develop leadership. And whatever package you choose, we promise to take you on a gastronomic adventure you won’t forget with the best locally produced food and drink.\n\nWe will work with you on all the logistics and planning to ensure your day runs smoothly and you return inspired, relaxed and with renewed commitment and purpose… plus, maybe, a few bottles of Sussex wine!\n\nLet us reinvent away days for you.

As professional communicators we can co-ordinate and add value to these expert activities and so gain greater impact for the client on all business fronts – whether that’s building PR collateral for a successful tender or helping an organisation manage change through team building and improved staff communication,” said Susan.\r\n\r\nThe multi-sector agency, which has a sister entertainments service, Lea Graham Entertainments, has also developed a bank of downloadable resources for SMEs. While it has retained its original branding, the agency’s new motif is based on Chloe the office cat, who now features on all its digital channels.\r\n\r\n“Chloe keeps us sane,” says Susan. “And more than anything else, she illustrates that we’re ‘people people’. Clients love seeing her in the office and often ask after her. She thinks the new website is the cat’s whiskers.”\r\n\r\nCaption: The LGA management team (left to right): Sue Scott - PR Director, Graham Fleet – Financial Director and Susan Fleet – Managing Director\r\n\r\n...end...        10 February 2017','Lea Graham crosses a new PR frontier… with a little help from its feline friend','','inherit','closed','closed','','13082-revision-v1','','','2017-02-15 11:26:29','2017-02-15 11:26:29','',13082,'http://www.leagraham.com/13082-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(13168,3,'2017-02-15 11:27:28','2017-02-15 11:27:28','<h1>Don’t just anticipate – remember to communicate</h1>\nBeing able to identify a client’s needs before they are explained to you is very useful.\n\nBeing able to identify their needs before even they are aware of them can be even more so. You can seem like a true magician, guru or Jedi. Great when it works, but can you afford to charge ahead and get it wrong? Sometimes it pays to communicate as well as anticipate. Why? Because your clients are human.\n\nA clear lesson from 2016 was that human beings are not predictable creatures. Polls and data failed to predict the outcomes of two significant public votes –the UK referendum on EU membership and the US presidential election. Voters don’t always do what you expect, what they did last time or what their demographic says they should. Clients are no different – they can and will surprise you.\n\nOne of the highest grossing films of 2016 was Rogue One: A Star Wars Story - a highly anticipated new instalment of the Star Wars franchise, now owned by Disney. As the year progressed, news emerged that the film had been subjected to a substantial reshoot. The eager fans rolled their eyes and took to the internet message boards. It was clear what must have happened.\n\nThe film was due to be a dark, gritty tale of conflict and espionage set within the (usually family friendly) Star Wars universe. As the film was to be a prequel, the audience already knew the situation the story had to travel towards and thus knew it required a tough, bleak conclusion. A reshoot was obviously meddling on the part of Disney. The happy, fluffy, Mickey Mouse corporation had clearly demanded a more sugar-coated version be released – one that made less sense plot-wise but better suited their brand. Only this wasn’t the case.\n\nThe reverse was true. The director, Gareth Edwards later explained to Empire Magazine that the initial screenplay had tried to anticipate such a position by Disney. The client’s needs had been assumed and a ‘Disnified’ story written. Only the client had surprised the writers. Disney had recognised the fact that a saccharine filled version of the story would make little sense and, if anything, the reshoot was eventually undertaken for the opposite reasons than those posited by fans back in the summer – to darken the tone and tell a more engaging, workable story.\n\nThe film was a success. There was little to no sugar. Hollywood studios can afford to reshoot and rectify this kind of wrong assumption. Not every small business can. Closer communication between the parties could have prevented this situation. Given the unpredictability of humans, how confident are you that you have 100% anticipated your client’s needs? Can you afford to be? This example is particularly pointed as the studio initially made what they knew to be the ‘wrong’ style of film based on what they thought their client would appreciate.\n\nSuch incongruity should warrant a discussion before forging ahead.\n\nYou may not be penning a sci-fi blockbuster this year, but you may be in a position to gain an advantage by anticipating a client’s needs. If you’re 100% confident , then great. If you have any reservations – especially if you feel you’re doing the wrong thing on the assumption that the client believes it to be right – there is certainly cause for communication.\n\nThere’s nothing wrong with wanting to get things right first time. You never know, you may have been on the same page from the beginning.\n\n&nbsp;','Don’t just anticipate – remember to communicate','','inherit','closed','closed','','13128-autosave-v1','','','2017-02-15 11:27:28','2017-02-15 11:27:28','',13128,'http://www.leagraham.com/13128-autosave-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(13169,3,'2017-02-15 11:27:51','2017-02-15 11:27:51','<h1>Don’t just anticipate – remember to communicate</h1>\r\nBeing able to identify a client’s needs before they are explained to you is very useful.\r\n\r\nBeing able to identify their needs before even they are aware of them can be even more so.

It was clear what must have happened.\r\n\r\nThe film was due to be a dark, gritty tale of conflict and espionage set within the (usually family friendly) Star Wars universe. As the film was to be a prequel, the audience already knew the situation the story had to travel towards and thus knew it required a tough, bleak conclusion. A reshoot was obviously meddling on the part of Disney. The happy, fluffy, Mickey Mouse corporation had clearly demanded a more sugar-coated version be released – one that made less sense plot-wise but better suited their brand. Only this wasn’t the case.\r\n\r\nThe reverse was true. The director, Gareth Edwards later explained to Empire Magazine that the initial screenplay had tried to anticipate such a position by Disney. The client’s needs had been assumed and a ‘Disnified’ story written. Only the client had surprised the writers. Disney had recognised the fact that a saccharine filled version of the story would make little sense and, if anything, the reshoot was eventually undertaken for the opposite reasons than those posited by fans back in the summer – to darken the tone and tell a more engaging, workable story.\r\n\r\nThe film was a success. There was little to no sugar. Hollywood studios can afford to reshoot and rectify this kind of wrong assumption. Not every small business can. Closer communication between the parties could have prevented this situation. Given the unpredictability of humans, how confident are you that you have 100% anticipated your client’s needs? Can you afford to be? This example is particularly pointed as the studio initially made what they knew to be the ‘wrong’ style of film based on what they thought their client would appreciate.\r\n\r\nSuch incongruity should warrant a discussion before forging ahead.\r\n\r\nYou may not be penning a sci-fi blockbuster this year, but you may be in a position to gain an advantage by anticipating a client’s needs. If you’re 100% confident , then great. If you have any reservations – especially if you feel you’re doing the wrong thing on the assumption that the client believes it to be right – there is certainly cause for communication.\r\n\r\nThere’s nothing wrong with wanting to get things right first time. You never know, you may have been on the same page from the beginning.\r\n\r\nThis blog was originally published by <a href=\"http://www.davidmellormentoring.com\" target=\"_blank\">www.davidmellormentoring.com</a>','Don’t just anticipate – remember to communicate','','inherit','closed','closed','','13128-revision-v1','','','2017-02-15 11:27:51','2017-02-15 11:27:51','',13128,'http://www.leagraham.com/13128-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(13170,3,'2017-02-15 11:37:21','2017-02-15 11:37:21','<h1>Dame Vera Joins Queen\'s Companions of Honour</h1>\r\nThe renowned Forces’ sweetheart, Dame Vera Lynn became the oldest person to be invested as a Companion of Honour to the Queen yesterday – one of the rarest decorations.\r\nDame Vera’s admission to the Order was announced in the 2016 Queen\'s Birthday Honours list, which recognised the 99-year-old singer for her services to entertainment and charity over nearly eight decades.\r\nThe investiture took place at her home in Ditchling, West Sussex, presided over by the Lord Lieutenant for East Sussex, Mr Peter Field, while Carola Godman Irvine, a family friend and Deputy Lord Lieutenant of the county, read the citation (see below).\r\nThe Companion of Honour is a special award founded by George V in 1917 to recognise those who have made a major contribution to the arts, science, medicine or government over an extended period. Its members are bound by the motto: ‘In action faithful and in honour clear’.\r\nAt any one time, there are just 65 Companions of Honour throughout the Commonwealth, including the sovereign; the Queen currently has 48, featuring such luminaries as Dame Maggie Smith and Dame Judy Dench, Stephen Hawking and Desmond Tutu. Just eight of the Companions are women.\r\n“I am truly delighted to become a Companion of Honour,” said Dame Vera. “In accepting this award, I do so in remembrance of all our wonderful brave boys who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. And I am grateful for the opportunity it gives me to highlight the work of the charities I am associated with. It\'s a chance for me to show my admiration in particular for the children affected by cerebral palsy and the carers who support them.\"\r\nDuring the Second World War, Dame Vera Lynn became a household name with classic songs We’ll Meet Again, The White Cliffs Of Dover and There\'ll Always Be An England.\r\nIn 1941, she began her own radio programme, Sincerely Yours, sending messages to British troops abroad and performing songs most requested by them, accompanied by her own quartet. She visited hospitals to interview new mothers and send personal messages to their husbands overseas, and later toured Egypt, India and Burma, giving outdoor concerts for the troops with piano accompaniment from Len Edwards.\r\nIn addition to her renowned entertainment career, she has also dedicated more than six decades to charity work for ex-servicemen, disabled children and breast cancer. In 1953, she formed a cerebral palsy charity SOS and in 1976, The Vera Lynn Charity Breast Cancer Research Trust was founded.\r\nIn 2002, Dame Vera became the founder and figurehead of the cerebral palsy charity The Dame Vera Lynn Children’s Charity, based in Billingshurst, West Sussex, which provides support and education for affected families.\r\nShe remains involved with countless other charitable organisations throughout the UK and beyond; within the last few months, she has been given an outstanding contribution award from the Soldering On Charity and has become honorary president of St Peter &amp; St James Hospice close to where she lives.\r\nThe honour is not the first time that Dame Vera has been recognised by the Queen. She was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in 1969 and Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE) in 1975.\r\n------\r\nCITATION:\r\nWidely known as the Forces’ Sweetheart, Dame Vera Lynn is an English singer, songwriter and actress whose voice moved and inspired the entire country during the Second World War, during which she toured Egypt, India and Burma, giving outdoor concerts for the troops with the Entertainment National Services Association. During those difficult years, she became the voice of hope for those deployed overseas and for many back home.\r\nDame Vera’s career continued to flourish after the War, and she is still today held in great affection by veterans.\r\nIn the year 2000 she was named the Briton who best exemplified the spirit of the 20th century. In 2009, during the year she published her autobiography, she became, at 92, the oldest living artist to make it to No. 1 on the British Album Chart, and in 2014 she celebrated 90 years in show business.\r\nIn addition to her outstanding music and show business career, Dame Vera has devoted much time and energy to charity work connected with breast cancer, disabled children and ex-service men.\r\nIn 1976, she founded The Vera Lynn Charity Breast Cancer Research Trust, and in 2002 she became the President of the Vera Lynn Trust for children with Cerebral Palsy. She is also patron of the Forces Literary Organisation for ALL, The Dover Memorial Project, and Help 4 Forgotten Allies.\r\nFor outstanding service to the United Kingdom in the fields of Entertainment and Charity, Her Majesty the Queen is pleased to bestow upon Dame Vera Lynn ‘membership of the Companions of Honour’.\r\nPhoto link: http://lucycarnaghanphotography.zenfolio.com/p837065264\r\nCaptions: Dame Vera Lynn pictured with the Lord Lieutenant of East Sussex, Mr Peter Field.

Last year, she competed in 20 competitions nationwide and boasts an incredible personal best of 37.37 metres.\r\n\r\nJudges said they were impressed that Anouska had achieved so much in a short amount of time and praised the strength of her application, which was supported by a letter from Robyn Stone, Head of Gifted and Talented at LOGS.\r\n\r\nRobyn said: \"When Squadkit asked for applications, Anouska immediately came to mind. She is an exceptional sportswoman who has represented the school in a myriad of sports. We are all so happy for her and I\'m sure Olympic medals will follow in her future!\"\r\n\r\nChosen by Olympic Hockey players Chloe Rogers and Hollie Webb, as well as former Scottish Rugby player Jason White, Anouska will receive support with kit, funding to enter international events, and mentoring from the former athletes.\r\n\r\nHer mother, Elizabeth Fairhurst, said: \"The scholarship means that Anouska can afford to travel to competitions around the world, which is crucial for achieving her dream of becoming an Olympic gold medallist. We\'re over the moon, and so grateful to Squadkit and LOGS for their support. I couldn\'t be prouder.\"\r\n\r\nLater this term, the young athlete will be awarded with the Scholarship and a trophy during a school assembly.\r\n\r\n\"Winning this award is just awesome.

It took 10 years before she realised that the physical discomfort and rollercoaster emotions she’d been experiencing were all related to symptoms of the menopause. But by then it had cost her a job she loved and very nearly her marriage.\r\n\r\nEight million women will be putting a brave face on their feelings this festive season, just as Kathryn did.\r\n\r\n“Boxing Day and New Year’s Day will be the worst,” she says. “That’s when you’re really feeling pretty awful about yourself, but for the most part we’ll suffer in silence, trying to hide it from friends, family and colleagues.”\r\n\r\nWhich is why she’s making a resolution to change the way we talk about the menopause in 2017, starting with a special event in January.\r\n\r\nMaking Sense of Menopause at Stanhill Court Hotel at Charlwood near Gatwick, will be led by a panel of female experts and is an opportunity for women to discuss and learn from their shared experience of the menopause. But it’s just the start.\r\n\r\n“We need a menopause revolution,” says Kathryn, who went through ‘10 years of hell’, convinced she was suffering a mental breakdown before discovering that her ‘crazy hormones’ were to blame. “Nobody’s telling women what they need to know – we need to make it headline news, not a sideshow.”\r\n\r\nKathryn’s experience led her to set up a support and advice service called Simply Hormones in 2005, which has agitated for better information on menopause to be made more widely available, not just to women, but also to their partners, families and employers. This year saw it launch the first training service in the UK aimed at making managers aware of the occupational health issues facing women who are coping with menopausal symptoms.\r\n\r\n“There are many things employers can do to help,” says Kathryn. “Simple things, like making sure there is sufficient ventilation – be it a fan on the desk or access to windows that open – to alleviate the hot flushes many women suffer; perhaps rethinking the design of uniforms that can become suffocatingly hot during the menopause; and taking a more flexible attitude to working hours and additional toilet breaks. These are all things that could help improve the lives of millions of working women.”\r\n\r\nThis month, the Royal College of Nursing became the latest organisation to issue guidance on adapting workplace policies to take account of the many thousands of women who hit the menopause while employed in health and social care. The RCN said it would like to see all employers recognising it as an equality and occupational health issue.\r\n\r\n“We are making progress,” says Kathryn. “But there is still a long way to go and the more women understand what is happening to them, the more empowered they are to ask for help and support, be it from their employer, partner or GP. That’s what the Making Sense of Menopause event is all about. Sharing experience and making sure no one has to go through the hell I did.”\r\n\r\nTo book a place at the Making Sense of Menopause Day at Stanhill Court Hotel near Gatwick on January 21, go to simplyhormones.com\r\n\r\n...end...\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n[gallery columns=\"6\" ids=\"12968\"]','Menopause \'revolution\' starts here','','publish','closed','open','','menopause-revolution-starts-2','','','2017-06-20 09:22:32','2017-06-20 09:22:32','',0,'http://www.leagraham.com/?p=13179',0,'post','',0),(13180,3,'2017-02-15 13:07:17','2017-02-15 13:07:17','<h1>Menopause \'revolution\' starts here</h1>\r\nKathryn Colas spent too many Christmas and New Year holidays feeling hot, tired, moody and overweight – and it wasn’t down to one too many Bucks Fizz’ and mince pies.\r\n\r\nIt took 10 years before she realised that the physical discomfort and rollercoaster emotions she’d been experiencing were all related to symptoms of the menopause.

The RCN said it would like to see all employers recognising it as an equality and occupational health issue.\r\n\r\n“We are making progress,” says Kathryn. “But there is still a long way to go and the more women understand what is happening to them, the more empowered they are to ask for help and support, be it from their employer, partner or GP. That’s what the Making Sense of Menopause event is all about. Sharing experience and making sure no one has to go through the hell I did.”\r\n\r\nTo book a place at the Making Sense of Menopause Day at Stanhill Court Hotel near Gatwick on January 21, go to simplyhormones.com\r\n\r\n...end...\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n[gallery columns=\"6\" ids=\"12968\"]','Menopause \'revolution\' starts here','','inherit','closed','closed','','13179-revision-v1','','','2017-02-15 13:07:17','2017-02-15 13:07:17','',13179,'http://www.leagraham.com/13179-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(13181,3,'2017-02-15 13:07:27','2017-02-15 13:07:27','<h1>Menopause \'revolution\' starts here</h1>\nKathryn Colas spent too many Christmas and New Year holidays feeling hot, tired, moody and overweight – and it wasn’t down to one too many Bucks Fizz’ and mince pies.\n\nIt took 10 years before she realised that the physical discomfort and rollercoaster emotions she’d been experiencing were all related to symptoms of the menopause. But by then it had cost her a job she loved and very nearly her marriage.\n\nEight million women will be putting a brave face on their feelings this festive season, just as Kathryn did.\n\n“Boxing Day and New Year’s Day will be the worst,” she says. “That’s when you’re really feeling pretty awful about yourself, but for the most part we’ll suffer in silence, trying to hide it from friends, family and colleagues.”\n\nWhich is why she’s making a resolution to change the way we talk about the menopause in 2017, starting with a special event in January.\n\nMaking Sense of Menopause at Stanhill Court Hotel at Charlwood near Gatwick, will be led by a panel of female experts and is an opportunity for women to discuss and learn from their shared experience of the menopause. But it’s just the start.\n\n“We need a menopause revolution,” says Kathryn, who went through ‘10 years of hell’, convinced she was suffering a mental breakdown before discovering that her ‘crazy hormones’ were to blame. “Nobody’s telling women what they need to know – we need to make it headline news, not a sideshow.”\n\nKathryn’s experience led her to set up a support and advice service called Simply Hormones in 2005, which has agitated for better information on menopause to be made more widely available, not just to women, but also to their partners, families and employers. This year saw it launch the first training service in the UK aimed at making managers aware of the occupational health issues facing women who are coping with menopausal symptoms.\n\n“There are many things employers can do to help,” says Kathryn. “Simple things, like making sure there is sufficient ventilation – be it a fan on the desk or access to windows that open – to alleviate the hot flushes many women suffer; perhaps rethinking the design of uniforms that can become suffocatingly hot during the menopause; and taking a more flexible attitude to working hours and additional toilet breaks.

photography for publicity and brand ID</h1>\r\nAs the old adage goes, a picture says a thousand words and as press releases are usually around 500 words, that means pictures do a lot of the talking.\r\n\r\nRecently, one of our clients had their press release rejected by a publication simply because they were unable to provide a high resolution image to accompany the story.\r\n\r\nWe live in a visual age (just look at the phenomenal $25billion success of the <a href=\"https://www.snapchat.com/\">Snapchat</a> app), and the importance of attaching visual content to written copy cannot be understated.\r\n\r\nA good press release can get you a sizeable amount of column inches; a good photograph can get you a full page.\r\n\r\nA recent study found that only 5% of readers will read a newspaper front-to-back. A picture can grab the reader’s attention, draw them in to an article, and provide a visual reference that helps them remember the content for longer.\r\n\r\nAs journalism increasingly becomes an online industry, pictures will continue to grow in prominence. While we still see press releases printed in magazines and newspapers without accompanying photographs, it is almost unheard of online.\r\n\r\nAccording to research compiled by <a href=\"http://www.mdgadvertising.com/\">MDG Advertising </a>:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Articles with relevant images average 94% more total views than articles without images.</li>\r\n 	<li>A press release with photos gets nearly 15% more online views than a text-only press release.</li>\r\n 	<li>60% of consumers who use online search say they prefer to contact a business whose listing includes an image.</li>\r\n 	<li>Nearly 70% of e-commerce website shoppers say the product image is very important when making their purchase decision. (See infographic below)</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nWant to make sure your press release is noticed? Follow these top tips:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><strong>Size - </strong>Make sure photographs are more than 1 or 2 MB and at least 2000 pixels wide.

A picture can grab the reader’s attention, draw them in to an article, and provide a visual reference that helps them remember the content for longer.\r\n\r\nAs journalism increasingly becomes an online industry, pictures will continue to grow in prominence. While we still see press releases printed in magazines and newspapers without accompanying photographs, it is almost unheard of online.\r\n\r\nAccording to research compiled by <a href=\"http://www.mdgadvertising.com/\">MDG Advertising </a>:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Articles with relevant images average 94% more total views than articles without images.</li>\r\n 	<li>A press release with photos gets nearly 15% more online views than a text-only press release.</li>\r\n 	<li>60% of consumers who use online search say they prefer to contact a business whose listing includes an image.</li>\r\n 	<li>Nearly 70% of e-commerce website shoppers say the product image is very important when making their purchase decision. (See infographic below)</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nWant to make sure your press release is noticed? Follow these top tips:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><strong>Size - </strong>Make sure photographs are more than 1 or 2 MB and at least 2000 pixels wide. That\'s why our <a href=\"https://www.leagraham.com/essroom/\">Press Room</a> offers the option to download all our images in a variety of hi-res formats.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Content – </strong>Make sure the content of your photograph relates to your press release and shows the subject in a positive light - and don\'t forget to caption!</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Quality –</strong> Make sure everything is clearly visible in the photo and within the frame; blurred, noisy or dark photography will likely be filed in a newspaper’s deleted box. No red eyes, closed eyes or distracting backgrounds</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Invest in good images –</strong> If staged, framed and lit well, photographs taken on a mobile phone can be fine for uploading online, but they are rarely good enough for quality printed publications.

Unlike some of the school\'s more formal events which are programmed by the music department, students were invited to put themselves forward to perform music of their choice in the style of an open mic night.\r\n\r\n“Throughout January, all pupils in Years Seven to 13 were invited to sign up to perform at FishAid. It was entirely up to them to choose the music they wanted to share and the school made time for them to rehearse in the music department,” explained LOGS Head of Music, Amoret Abis.\r\n\r\n“The response and quality of the performances was fantastic with many wonderful singers performing solos, duos and in small groups of all levels of ability. There were also two amazing guitar solos from Year 9 students, Blaise Levine and Ronan Wilson.”\r\n\r\nThe line-up included two girl bands that came together especially for the occasion. In year 9, Iona Foster-Gandey, Alicia Davidson and Connie Pike performed as a group, while LOGS staff member Dimitrious Frosynou lent vocals and guitar to another band which included his daughter Olga on violin, Lily Ellis on vocals and Madison Synnott on piano.\r\n\r\nThe evening ended with a stellar performance by the school’s Rock Orchestra playing Boulevard of ‘Broken Dreams’ and ‘We Can Work It Out’ with singers Oscar Williams, Scarlett Fox and Yasmin O\'Mahoney.\r\n\r\nTeachers also lent their talents to the show, including Will Ellis, Susana Prada-Garcia, Gemma Rham, Kit Wood, and Rachel Munro, who was also joint-organiser of the event.\r\n\r\n“It was a truly amazing evening, with some really gifted pupils and staff entertaining more than 100 people for two hours,” said Anthony’s mum and chair of the charity, Gill Johnston. “The event raised a fantastic amount, which will be put towards research into osteosarcoma, the primary bone cancer that cut Anthony\'s life so tragically short.\r\n\r\n“The continued support of the staff and pupils at LOGS is fantastic and is really appreciated by all at APBCT.”\r\n\r\nKnown by his schoolmates as ‘Fish’, Anthony was diagnosed at the age of just 14 with osteosarcoma, a rare cancer that attacks growing bones, in 2001.\r\n\r\nThe disease spread rapidly and he passed away in 2002, but not before attending the first FishAid concert in his wheelchair.\r\n\r\nTo find out more about the Anthony Pilcher Bone Cancer Trust, go to: <a href=\"http://www.apbonecancertrust.org.uk\" target=\"_blank\">www.apbonecancertrust.org.uk</a>, where you can donate to and buy ‘Follow Me’, a book chronicling Anthony’s story.\r\n\r\n-- end --\r\n\r\n<strong>CLICK ON THUMBNAILS TO DOWNLOAD HIGH RESOLUTION IMAGES:</strong>\r\n\r\n[gallery columns=\"6\" ids=\"13219,13220,13221,13222,13223\"]','Student concert raises hundreds in memory of schoolmate ‘Fish’','','publish','closed','open','','student-concert-raises-hundreds-memory-schoolmate-fish','','','2017-02-23 19:08:02','2017-02-23 19:08:02','',0,'http://www.leagraham.com/?p=13218',0,'post','',0),(13219,3,'2017-02-21 15:10:43','2017-02-21 15:10:43','','FishAid-Logs_090_JH','Students perform at FishAid, a concert in memory of Anthony Pilcher','inherit','closed','closed','','fishaid-logs_090_jh','','','2017-02-21 15:11:19','2017-02-21 15:11:19','',13218,'http://www.leagraham.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/FishAid-Logs_090_JH.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(13220,3,'2017-02-21 15:11:01','2017-02-21 15:11:01','','FishAid-Logs_128_JH','A student performs during the FishAid concert.
