The Rt Hon Norman Lamb MP joined Mental Health First Aiders from Flagship Group as the company marked Mental Health Awareness Week.

The North Norfolk MP, a passionate mental health campaigner, heard first-hand from some of Flagship’s qualified Mental Health First Aiders about the impact the training has had in supporting others. The housing provider has 75 trained Mental Health First Aiders and 100 people on the waiting list to receive the training. 

The MP, a former Minister of State for Health, also found out how the company is embedding mental health support to improve wellbeing, including through bitesize workshops, a wellbeing forum, awareness sessions, and a confidential contact point for employees to use.

Mr Lamb talked to Flagship staff reaffirming that ‘mental health shouldn’t be inferior to physical health.’ He also explained the importance of leadership in supporting mental health in the workplace. The MP also spoke about the importance of opening up, commenting that ‘the fear of sharing and also coping with mental health can be overbearing’.

Norman Lamb commented: “It is so encouraging to see that Flagship has a culture where people can come forward and get help.

“Organisations should do more to support their staff, it is enlightened self-interest for business to focus on the wellbeing of people as Flagship is both in individual and the organisation benefits. It’s the right thing to do.”

The visit was the culmination of a week of events which also saw ex-Norwich City and Bordeaux footballer Cedric Anselin give a moving talk about his own experiences with mental health.

Cedric, who at the height of his career played against teams such as AC Milan, talked about how he felt when his football career faltered, and that subsequently, he struggled with his own mental health. 

Cedric also shared how he hid his mental ill health before hitting his lowest point and reaching out to fellow former footballer Clarke Carlisle. Now, manager of Norwich United FC Cedric has taken the decision to talk openly and told the room that his experiences ‘make me the person I am today’ and ‘we must educate ourselves to care about each other.’

He said: “I’m so humble to share my story and to encourage others to open up about mental health during Mental Health Awareness Week.

“It is magnificent of Flagship to promote mental health in the workplace and I think other companies should take this as an example, helping and educating each other it’s ok, to not be ok.”

Throughout the week, staff also tried their hand at Laughing Yoga and Meditation sessions, providing people with the opportunity to try out some practical techniques to support wellbeing.  And, teams from across the group had the chance to play on the pitch at Carrow Road in a football tournament which helped to promote physical wellbeing.

David McQuade, Chief Executive said: “We are creating a stigma-free workplace, where we can have open and honest conversations about mental health, where our people can access support, and where wellbeing is promoted.

“We were delighted to meet with Mr Lamb to discuss the importance of mental health in the workplace, and share with him what we are doing.  It was also a privilege to hear Cedric Anselin talk so openly and honestly about his own struggles with mental health.

“We have marked Mental Health Awareness Week with some thought-provoking and interesting activities but for us it doesn’t stop here and we will continue to make sure that Flagship is a place where mental health is supported.”

Overview  The region’s tourism leaders are gathering in Norfolk and Suffolk on 22 and 23 May to hear the results of East Anglia’s largest Tourism, Leisure and Hospitality Business Survey.  High on the list of challenges was the weather in 2018. The survey, which is produced by chartered accountants and business advisors, MHA Larking Gowen, has been running for 14 years and is the largest independent survey of its kind in the region.    The eclectic mix of businesses within the visitor economy, leisure and hospitality sector across Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex means there is something for everyone. With a range of businesses completing the survey and the different type of visitors, their focus and interests impacted on the results. The weather in particular played a big part in the trading results for a lot of businesses.     For businesses in this sector, 2018, nicknamed recently as the “Goldilocks year” (so called because there was too much snow in March, too much rain at Easter and it was too hot for the summer) saw changes in customer spending habits, leading to mixed trading results.     Many businesses have said that the weather is a leading concern for them and in response there has been substantial investment into weather-proofing attractions. This has helped increase visitor numbers and seen a boost to the economies of our region over recent years, with the economic value of the visitor economy across Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex now being worth over £8 billion.   Chris Scargill, partner at MHA Larking Gowen, who coordinates the annual survey, said, “While we, as families, all got to enjoy the opportunity for being outside more, once the warm weather arrived, our spending habits changed, and we enjoyed more of the low cost outdoors but this has had some significant impact on a number of businesses in the sector.  It certainly isn’t all doom and gloom though, and we have seen some real positives, but there is no doubt that the unusual weather patterns impacted a number of businesses, and it came at a time when businesses are seeing rising costs in rents, business rates, rising staff costs through legislation.    Income  “In 2018, we continued to see the loss of swathes of the high street and the national restaurant chains, with some only being saved by entering into CVAs with their creditors and heavy negotiations on rents. For some, it really is quite tough out there.”    Continued Chris, “The results of the survey indicated that while 49% of businesses saw revenue levels increase, nearly one in three (31%) suffered a decrease in income.”    Plastic  A big issue in 2018 was the increasing awareness on plastic waste. The tourism sector has clearly been doing its bit, with the majority of businesses reducing plastic in their cooking, cleaning, and purchasing habits. More can clearly be done around plastic waste; 61% of businesses felt local government could help them more in their endeavours, with 57% feeling the drive should come from central government.   Employment  In this region the sector employs over 150,000 staff and three quarters of the businesses surveyed employed staff. One in four of those businesses indicated that staff retention was an issue. For the majority, staff numbers stayed the same; just over a third of businesses have increased their full-time and part-time staff numbers, and one in ten reduced staff.  Flexibility in working hours is seen as a real bonus for the sector; 51% of employers surveyed provide zero hour contracts, two thirds of which are providing, on average, between 11 and 30 hours per week. Articles in the survey results publication outline a focus on making the sector a positive career choice.   All business sectors have seen a rise in pay for staff. Near full employment levels suggest that the National Minimum Wage (NMW) and the more recent National Living Wage (NLW) have been a success. However, calculations also highlight the impact these have had on businesses. An individual working 35 hours per week, earning the NMW in 2015/16 at the time the NLW was introduced, would have cost an employer, in total, £12,550 in the year. Now, for someone 25 years or older, and following the introduction of pension Auto Enrolment, that cost is £16,077 – a rise of 28% over four years.   The introduction of the NLW and pension Auto Enrolment has been a real boost for employees as it has also had a domino effect across all staff levels, but as the costs of employing staff have increased, cuts in staff numbers or other areas of spend are being impacted as the customer is resilient to price changes. However, the survey results show that 27% of businesses are planning price increases to accommodate these legislative changes, whereas 18% accept it will simply hit their bottom line.   Social Media  Marketing spend was increased by a third of businesses, but the results highlight greater efforts in the use of social media and the selling of an experience. While the level of increase in the use of Facebook and YouTube, as marketing mediums, has remained consistent, Instagram has seen more activity, with 80% of businesses this year reporting an increase in their use of the format compared to the previous year.   Profits  The results indicate that the consequence of all of the above factors provided mixed results on business profits, with only two in five businesses seeing an increase in profit levels. Chris comments, “Profit levels are essential to allow businesses to keep reinvesting, so it was good to see profits rise for a significant proportion of the sector, especially the fact that one in three businesses increased profits by over 10% compared to last year. But with nearly a third of businesses seeing profits fall, this could be a worrying trend, particularly as two-fifths of those making a loss this year are anticipating losses in 2019.”    Chris concludes, “This clearly brings to question sustainability and risks investment long term. However, for now, investment continues, with 16% of businesses planning to extend their premises and three in five planning site improvements and refurbishment to help improve business. 2019 will inevitably be another interesting year for the sector.”   To view the full survey results, download a copy here.

Flagship Group and Suffolk Housing Society have announced that they are in talks to consider working in partnership, with Suffolk Housing potentially becoming a subsidiary of Flagship Group.

Talks are at an early stage, but the boards of both organisations have agreed that working together could generate more opportunities to invest in local communities. They share a vision to deliver excellence in customer services across East Anglia and to drive forward new thinking about how to meet the housing challenges faced in the region.

Speaking about the plans, Carole Taylor-Brown, Chair of Suffolk Housing, said, “By pooling our experiences and resources we will make faster progress.

“Most encouragingly, Flagship appreciate the importance of continually improving services to residents and share our purpose to provide homes for those who need them most. By joining forces, we can create an enhanced offer for our customers as well as increased career development opportunities for colleagues.”

Peter Hawes, Chair of Flagship Group said, “We are in very early stages of talks, but we believe that by working together we can better meet the challenges faced by all housing associations to deliver more homes, better services and continue our strength for years to come.”

Team Hatch Brenner Solicitors will once again be joining judiciary, law firms, chambers, government departments, and in-house legal teams from around the city to complete the 10k Norwich Legal Walk on Thursday 6 June, raising money for free legal advice charities in Norwich and the Eastern region.

The walkers are all fundraising to help improve access to justice for those most in need.

The Eastern Legal Support Trust (“ELST”) is coordinating the walk. As part of a network of Legal Support Trusts, working with the Access to Justice Foundation, ELST support the provision of specialist legal advice through law centres, advice agencies and other free legal advice organisations. They do this by providing the organisations, on application, with grant funding.

The Access to Justice Foundation are hoping to raise an overall total of £5,000 from the Norwich walk.

Dawn Parkes, Hatch Brenner Managing Partner commented: “The Norwich Legal Walk is always a great event and a good opportunity to support the poorest and most vulnerable people in our community, for whom access to justice can be out of reach. We are pleased to once again support ELST and will also be pledging 50% of the money raised to our charity partner MAP, the Mancroft Advice Project. Both ELST and MAP provide vital support to vulnerable people in Norwich and beyond.”

The Eastern Legal Support Trust added: “The Norwich Legal Walk helps support families living in terrible housing conditions; people who have been unfairly dismissed or who are discriminated against at work; elderly people who need support to stay living independently; people who suffer disability or illness and their carers; and women and children who have been trafficked to the UK to become domestic or sex slaves.

“The need for free legal advice centres has grown in the past few years. The recession has increased poverty and reduced support services. Meanwhile funding for the advice centres themselves has reduced. We simply can’t overcome the effects of the huge reduction in government and local authority funding over the past few years. What we can do is to ensure that many of the people most in need get help who would otherwise have been denied.”

The walkers will set off from the Forum at 5.30pm on Thursday 6 June.

Prasanth Ganguly expands his practice to cover Milton Keynes and Newport Pagnell

The Mayor of Newport Pagnell, Paul Day, joined Prasanth Ganguly on 15th May to celebrate the official opening of a new TaxAssist Accountants shop on 78 High Street, with a party for the local business community.

Prasanth set up TaxAssist Accountants in Milton Keynes in December 2015 and has enjoyed steady growth over the past three and a half years, looking after 275 small businesses in the area.

In response to increasing demand from existing small firms and new businesses starting up, Prasanth decided the time was right to open his second shop in Newport Pagnell.

“I’ve been on the lookout for highly visible, shopfront premises for some time and the High Street is the perfect location,” said Prasanth.

“The opening event gave us an excellent opportunity to thank our clients, as well as meet other businesses and our neighbours in Newport Pagnell, so they can see what we can do for them. We were delighted that the Mayor, Paul Day, kindly agreed to cut the ribbon and declare our fantastic new shop officially open.”

Prasanth, who has a background in engineering and finance joined TaxAssist Accountants after 26 years spent working for large global companies at a senior level.

He was however no stranger to franchising, as he was actively involved in helping his wife set up a tuition franchise, before being inspired to set up his own franchise operation.

“Though I enjoyed my career, my experience in project finance and personal involvement in taxation, along with a desire to be self-employed, brought me closer to TaxAssist Accountants. After attending a discovery day, meeting the team and getting to know the wider successful family out there, I was totally convinced that the opportunity was right for me.”

If you would like to find out more about joining the TaxAssist Accountants network, please give Nikki Haythorne a call on 0800 0188297. The next step is to attend a discovery day at the Support Centre in Norwich.

A special event showcasing how Norwich Airport is becoming more dementia friendly is being held on Friday, May 24th in support of Dementia Action Week.

As part of the airport’s commitment to supporting people with hidden disabilities, it will be hosting the information event alongside Age UK Norwich, the Alzheimer’s Society and Home Instead Senior Care.

For someone with dementia, travelling through an airport can be a frightening experience, something Norwich Airport, a member of Norwich Dementia Action Alliance (DAA), is working hard to change.

In partnership with other DAA members, the airport has developed innovative tools like a video walk-through so people with dementia and their carers know what to expect.

They are also encouraged to visit the airport before their day of travel so they can rehearse with staff exactly what will happen. Other changes have included improved signage, flooring and allowing more time for check-in.

Local people are invited to visit Norwich Airport on May 24th to see what it is doing to become more dementia friendly, and get information about dementia and support available to people later in life.

Jamie Price, Norwich Airport Security Manager, said: “We know that for some people with dementia, visiting public places such as an airport can be an overwhelming experience.

“Thanks to expert advice we have made a few simple changes to improve that experience for people with dementia and their families and we hope it will give them the confidence to visit the airport.

“Our mission is to make sure that those living with hidden disabilities and their families have the opportunity to enjoy their journey through our airport and receive all the help and support they need.

“We are committed to Norwich Airport being a dementia-friendly environment and are proud to be taking part in the information event. We encourage as many people as possible to come along on the day.”

Mark Johnston, from Home Instead Senior Care, said: “Almost all of us know someone affected by dementia and so we all have a reason to take action and learn more about it. When it comes to fighting dementia, awareness is key and we are passionate about supporting people to live well with dementia.”

Taking the decision to start a business is often a daunting step, especially for someone who hasn’t a business background or experience of what it involves.

MENTA has been helping people start up and grow their businesses for over 35 years and launches its start-up, Start Right workshops in Kings Lynn from June. The free package of support is ideal for people who are thinking of starting a business or have set up in the last twelve months. MENTA’s three Start Right workshops provide a whole range of business information.

There will be training on basic book keeping and self-assessment to keep the Tax Office happy. Norfolk based; Laura Remblance has turned her hobby into a business venture. Lovingly Handmade Crochet is now a full-time business thanks to MENTA’s Start Right training.

The young businesswoman says, “The three MENTA workshops and great business advice gave me confidence, knowing my unique products would sell, I established myself as a sole trader.”

Alex Till, CEO of MENTA comments, “It is fantastic to hear such a success story developing from our business workshops. More than 500 people based in Norfolk and Suffolk have completed the 12 hours of start-up training and over 270 have started their enterprises.”

Abate Pest Management loves to work on unusual projects. Recently they have created a secure outside space for a lovely rescue cat who has FIV, allowing it to have its freedom again.

Abate has previously worked with Cats before, last time it was Africa Alive! where they installed a safety solution for Lions, using tensioned wires which are usually used for bird control.

Meet Konstantin a cat that lives with Karen and Phil Turner in the Suffolk Town of Eye. Sadly, he’s FIV positive (feline immunodeficiency virus) and unfortunately can’t come in to contact with other cats, in case he passes the virus on.

The Turners adopted Konstantin from the RSPCA two years ago and figured that their small courtyard garden would be ideal for him, as it would give access to the outdoors without the worry of him escaping due to it being fully enclosed by the walls of adjoining buildings.

FIV in cats is a condition similar to the virus that causes AIDS in people. FIV cats with the virus can obviously infect others, so it is normally recommended and responsible to keep an infected cat indoors.

Karen and Phil explain the story of how Abate designed and implemented a netting system which now allows Konstantin the freedom of his garden.

We did our best to deal with any potential escape-points, but despite our efforts he managed – with some ease! – to get on both our roof and that of the building next door. Luckily on both occasions we managed to coax him back with some fresh roast chicken!

After his second escape, we put up some sections of garden netting on what we thought were the most likely escape routes, but as soon as we let Konstantin back into the garden it was clear they weren’t going to cut it.

Having had pigeon netting fitted to the balcony of her London flat, Karen had the idea to contact bird-netting installers to see if one could help. I sent requests to a several companies, Abate came back straight away reassuring us that they would be able to find us a solution.

Abate sent their Operations Manager and a Technician over to inspect and assess the garden and talk us through the options – Sam and Carl both fully understood that the netting would need to be robust and secure enough to keep a determined 8kg cat in, without being too intrusive and spoiling the look and feel of the garden. They also took great care to ensure the solution wouldn’t harm Konstantin, should he attempt to escape through it.

After their visit, we were provided with a fully detailed quote and explanation of works – we were even provided with samples of the netting and fixings so we had a clear idea of how the install would look. We felt the quote was competitive given the quality of the materials and work involved.

The Abate team arrived promptly for the install, and again talked us through what they would be doing to make sure we were happy. They worked quickly and courteously, with minimum disturbance to us and the garden.

They took great care to affix only to suitable points on our property and weather-proofed around fixings where necessary, to guard against any future issues. They also took care to leave easy access to areas like guttering and downspouts.

Once finished the team cleared away all left-over fixings and netting, so as not to leave anything that could potentially harm Konstantin.

We’re absolutely delighted with the netting install. The solution Abate came up with for us is secure enough to keep Konstantin in, without spoiling the look and feel of the garden; the fixings were kept to a minimum and the netting itself isn’t at all intrusive – it doesn’t affect light in garden at all and is installed a height so as to be hardly noticeable when using the space.

It gives us the confidence to let him roam free in the garden and has made it easier for us to use the space too – we no longer have to keep doors and windows closed when going in and out to work and relax outside.

We’re also confident the install will last too, the main fixtures and fittings are stainless steel and the netting a really high quality. Abate has also reassured us that if encounter any problems we shouldn’t hesitate to call them.

Abate Pest Management are delighted with the outcome of this project which may lead to others. It is reported that Feline immunodeficiency virus affects cats worldwide, with 2.5% to 4.4% of being infected.

If Abate can help your feline friend, please email sales@abateltd.co.uk.

To mark the Mental Health Foundation’s Mental Health Week 2019 (13th to 19th May), Pure has been looking at mental health in the workplace and some of the initiatives it has introduced to create a workplace culture which supports the mental health of its team. As the leading professional recruitment company in the East of England, we recognise that our people are at the heart of our business.

Our industry is fast paced and has many highs and lows, so we believe it is crucial to offer our employees the mental health support they need throughout their career. Positive mental health is also critical for people to be productive and engaged, which impacts on business success and client experience.

Research by the Mental Health Foundation shows that addressing wellbeing at work can increase productivity by as much as 12%. It can also have a significant impact on reducing sickness absence, as 70 million work days are lost each year due to mental health problems in the UK.

There are simple and inexpensive measures that all employers can put in place to support the mental health and wellbeing of their staff.

The Mental Health Foundation has a range of free resources to help employers and we’ve also shared some of what we have been doing here at Pure as examples.

Supportive culture We live by our values in everything that we do, one of which is ‘Pure Supports’. This includes supporting our employees to progress, supporting each other and creating a supportive workplace which is as mentally healthy as possible.

We work hard but in a fun culture where we foster and celebrate team work. We support our employees to create a positive work-life balance through part-time and flexible working options and we all work genuinely sensible office hours.

We encourage and support our consultants to focus their energy on building relationships not on meeting pressurised volumes or targets. We know that our people are integral to our success and we provide long-term, professional careers in which people’s enthusiasm and talent is supported by our resources and training.

Wellbeing policy and mental health strategy We believe healthy employees are happy employees and we encourage workplace health with initiatives including free fruit in the office, cycle to work schemes and subsidised gym membership.

Exercise and eating well has a positive impact on our mental health, but our wellbeing policy also includes a mental health strategy as well as covering physical health.

Through staff surveys our employees are encouraged to feed into our wellbeing policy and we are continuing to develop our initiatives as a result, including offering wellbeing sessions on mindfulness and stress management, lifestyle and fitness guidance and access to counselling.

Mental health first aiders We have a trained Mental Health First Aider who works with our managers to support them in supporting their teams. We recognise that our line managers play a crucial role in supporting staff who may be experiencing mental health problems.

We want to ensure they have the support they need to develop compassionate and effective relationships and feel equipped to line manage anyone who does have a mental health problem or who is showing signs of distress.

Mental health champions We have trained a team of employees to become Pure’s Mental Health Champions. Their role is to offer support and advice to employees who are struggling with mental ill-health and to help increase mental health awareness across the business and to reduce stigma and discrimination. By raising awareness of mental health and having dedicated mental health champions we will be helping our employees to support each other.

It can sometimes be easier for other people to spot early warning signs of mental health problems, such as uncharacteristic mistakes, appearing distracted or becoming more isolated, than it can be to see these traits in ourselves.

Signposts to support We have also introduced a ‘mental-wellbeing board’ in all four of our offices around the region. These highlight signs to help our employees identify if someone may be struggling, tips on how to support each other and signposts to find relevant advice, helplines and positive coping strategies.  

Great news at Norwich Puppet Theatre!

First, we are delighted to announce a grant of £25,000 from the Foyle Foundation to support our plans to uprade our critical theatre facilities and infrastructure and help us with our ambition to reinvent a New Model of a Real Theatre!

This grant is focused on materials, equipment and implementation costs and will help us address lighting and sound system reliability and flexibility, maintain our stage structure and various front of house and performer facilities. It’s all part of our 40th Year celebration and development programme.

Inevitably, this is one of the costs of cultural life in Norfolk! if your firm or you would like to support this project with matched funding through sponsorship or value-in-kind, please get in touch with us!

Secondly, we have been awarded £14,950 by Arts Council England for a collaboration with Norfolk Libraries to Pilot Puppetry in Libraries to help them in their goals to create fun opportunities for families to explore reading and culture where they live.  

There is a great opportunity for your company to invest in this project as we still need some matched funding. Any 4 figure sum would help enormously!

This is one of a number of exciting current opportunities to support projects delivering our work directly. Other very live projects are:

• An updated touring version of our Beauty and the Beast show, set in 1930s Hollywood time and theme, and all about young people and self image. This is the subject of an application we are developing right now.
• An exciting addition to our Creative Learning offers to develop workshop and skills activities for children with complex needs in partnership with their special schools and Anguish’s Educational Foundation in Norwich. This is largely funded and is in the detailed planning stage for work to start this September.
