Dear Southbourne, Tuckton & Hengistbury Head!
Welcome...
The Southbourne Link
A Very Happy New Year to You! A new year, a new start. Have you made any plans? We are planning our trips here in the South with our new van, Daichi The Dashing Dude. I definitely want to get out and about again, visiting lots of interesting, fun and historic places, of which there are many! There are also our wonderful beaches and the amazing New Forest with those beautiful horses, ponies, cows and wildlife. We are so lucky to live in such a gorgeous part of our Island, with so much to see and do.

It is Always The Season for Giving NAPRA, Northey and Padfield Residents Association, in Southbourne, is to close.
Barbara Collins founded the organisation in 2006. Barbara and Mary Holder are still on the committee that sadly closed in December 2018. In 2006 and as a reaction to some unfortunate incidents of children having to play in the road the residents association, NAPRA, was formed. It sounds easy but it took commitment and hard work. NAPRA became a Charity and worked hard to raise funds and liaise with Bournemouth Council to clear the Rookery. The Rookery is a pleasant grassed and wooded place, which had become a ‘no-go’ area full of rubbish and unsafe for children. On behalf of Bournemouth Council, Amanda
Nicholls, Assistant Community Liaison Officer supported the group throughout its life. Now the Rookery has a safe space for children to play with an area of garden supported by the Peoples Health Trust. Parents and their families have a place to play, relax and appreciate nature. How wonderful that people get together to make things happen in their community.
Even when closing, NAPRA Charity took time to gift their remaining monies to local charities and organisations for children, seniors and those with disability. Lets hope that the closing of NAPRA is a space for a new organisation to spring up in its place. L-R: Amanda Nicholls, Mary Holder, Sylvia Pike and Barbara Collins

Humphries Kirk succeeds in recovering British deposits lost in 2008 Spanish property crash Leading Dorset and Somerset law firm, Humphries Kirk, is pleased to report its success in enabling British clients to recover deposits lost on new build apartments in Spain following the 2008 – 2009 property crash. Before the crash took place, hundreds of British people were signed up to buy new build apartments in high class residential areas and holiday complexes in Spain at an affordable price. Humphries Kirk has an international practice with correspondent lawyers throughout the European Union, as well as many other countries around the world, and was approached by Spanish lawyers to offer the service of seeking relevant compensation from the local banks. The firm was able to approach a number of British clients and offer to try to recover their deposits on a ‘no win, no fee’ basis, after an initial fee to check the strength of the case and pay the Spanish official fees.
James Selby Bennett, commercial partner at Humphries Kirk, said: “I used to work in Madrid and have some working familiarity with Spanish commercial and legal practices. I am very pleased that we have been able to achieve justice for our clients. They did not know that they had recourse to the local Spanish banks under the enlightened Spanish consumer protection scheme. We have been able to unlock this compensation for them, through our close links with our Spanish correspondents.” Humphries Kirk is able to offer legal support globally through its Humphries Kirk International Network (HKI) service, a unique group of legal and business advisors who have worked together over many years for the benefit of its respective clients in the area of international business.
It was revealed that under Spanish consumer protection law, the developers were required to take out an equivalent to a protection bond with the local community bank in the areas where the development was permitted. This clarified that the responsibility to repay deposits lost by investors sat with the local banks. Humphries Kirk is pleased to announce that the success rate of those who took up the offer is 100 per cent. British investors who thought they had lost their deposits and had given up trying to recover them have been compensated, and in some cases with interest on top.

Talking about Wildlife...
Flock to Poole Harbour January is traditionally a dark and dismal month, but for over-wintering birds, this is a busy time of year, and Poole Harbour is one place we can guarantee will be bursting with (bird) life. During late summer and autumn birds start arriving back onto the Brownsea Island lagoon to over-winter. The unique location of the lagoon means it provides shelter and food sources in abundance, but its shallow waters mean it’s also still accessible for birds when the rest of the harbour is under deeper water. It’s also a thoroughfare for birds flying from far flung corners of the globe, who use the lagoon to rest and eat before migrating to other winter habitats. In the past we’ve recorded rare sightings of the semipalmated sandpiper, and in October we were treated to a sighting of the small sanderling visiting from its arctic breeding grounds. A favourite and frequent visitor to the lagoon is the spoonbill. For many years the spoonbill flock sizes have been building, and in 2014 it peaked to the largest flock of spoonbills ever seen in Britain, with 49 birds recorded in one flock. Other frequent Brownsea Island Lagoon at dawn Photo: Paul Williams
Avocet on Brownsea Island Lagoon

and easily identifiable guests are large flocks of waders, particularly avocets, which are distinguishable by their long blue legs and curved bill, perfect for si�ing through the mud for fish. They breed in east Anglia, France and Germany but the number seen on the Brownsea Lagoon is of international importance, where 1,200 or more can be seen in the winter. The black-tailed godwit breed in Iceland but can be seen through the year on Brownsea Island, with up to 2,500 visiting in the winter to feed on worms found in the lagoon. A unique partnership between Dorset Wildlife Trust, RSPB, National Trust and Birds of Poole Harbour has been set up to run boat trips around Poole Harbour during the winter months, so visitors can get a first-hand experience of the thousands of birds feeding and roosting on the Brownsea Island Lagoon, when the rest of the island is closed for winter. Tickets start from £25 and trips run on 6th, 10th 20th January and 3rd February. To book, visit nationaltrust.org.uk/ brownsea-islands/features/poole-harbourbird-boats or by calling 0344 2491895.

Wills, Property Protection Trusts and Lasting Power of Attorneys We discuss the difference between legal professionals and the benefits of home visits for clients. We are often asked what is the advantage of using a member of the Society of Will Writers and Estate Planning Practitioners (SWW) over a more conventional high street solicitor. There are many good reasons, here are just a few: 1. Members of SWW are fully trained specialists in the field of will writing and estate planning. All have professional indemnity insurance, are regulated and adhere to the SWW code of practice. 2. Members also provide clients with the convenience of attending them in their own home and at a time that is suitable. 3. Taking instructions in the privacy of the client’s home is not only about
convenience. In the absence of such a service many people who need a Will or Power of Attorney’s would go without if they were housebound, elderly or frail and could not get to a high street solicitor. As a member of SWW, Dorset Wills has a totally transparent pricing policy. Our prices are clearly shown in all our adverts and we will send you a full pricelist with confirmation of your FREE home visit appointment. We offer various packages to make the whole process of getting your affairs in order both simple and cost effective. It is estimated that 67% of people in the UK do not have a Will or Lasting Power of Attorney in place. With almost 1 million people living with dementia and the total growing yearly, perhaps now is the time to call Dorset Wills on 01202 065953.
Do you want to protect your family and loved ones? Probably the most important documents you will ever own. Wills & Power of Attorneys - £140 each

Care South renews partnership with AFC Bournemouth for fifth year Care South is delighted to renew its partnership with AFC Bournemouth Community Sports Trust.
Cherries winger, Marc Pugh and Head of Community Sport Trust, Steve Cuss visited residents at Care South’s Fairlawn care home in Ferndown, where they also met with the charity’s Chief Executive, Simon Bird, to officially announce the continued partnership, which is now in its fifth year. The partnership with AFCB encourages staff and residents of Care South’s care homes and Home Care service clients to participate in activities where they can meet players, enjoy coffee mornings and become involved in walking football and stadium visits. Marc Pugh, an integral member of the AFCB squad and ambassador for the partnership, spoke to the residents about the incredible start to the 2018/19 season AFC Bournemouth has had. Head of the Community Sports Trust, Steve Cuss said: “Care South residents always give Marc a fantastic welcome. He is a huge supporter of this partnership, and that’s what makes him such a great ambassador. He and the Community Sports Trust team are looking forward to visiting as many residents as their schedule allows, and showing his football skills to the residents and seeing a few of theirs.”
partnership with AFC Bournemouth is one that we really cherish. Over the past 12 months Steve and his team have undertaken over 90 visits to all of our Dorset homes. We’re delighted to be renewing the partnership again.
It’s great to see that despite the demands of a very strong start in the Premiership this season, Marc still has time to be the ambassador for the partnership and visit our homes – he’s very popular with all our residents. “We are always so impressed with the way that Marc, Steve and the trainee coaches help with activities, interact and reminisce with our residents when they visit our homes.” Care South is a registered charity and a leading residential and home care service provider in the South of England. The notfor-profit organisation serves Dorset, north Devon, West Sussex and parts of Somerset offering care services for young people and older people who may require temporary or permanent care services.
