How To Lose Lockdown Weight Gain by Alan Jones, Registered Hypnotherapist A few months ago when you faced the uncertainties of lockdown, it seemed that at least there was some comfort to be gained from tasty treats and increased alcohol consumption.

If this sounds like you, then hypnotherapy can help you to make all the changes you need to lose weight, and improve your health and con dence. It can cost much less than buying new clothes!

HAMPSHIRE’S ALCOHOL AND DRUG TREATMENT SERVICES CONTINUE Alex Completes 10K Charity Run A 21-year-old Southampton man has completed a 10k charity run for the rst time ever, just one year a er his fourth round of major open-heart surgery, raising nearly £3,000 for Wessex Heartbeat. Alex Ind, from Chandlers Ford, has lived with complex heart defects since birth. However, undeterred, Alex, a talented golfer and cricketer also, has defeated the odds and put his tness to the test – Alex’s fundraiser brings the Ind family total to over £100,000, over several years. Arriving three-weeks premature in Winchester Hospital, Alex was born with congenital heart disease and a condition which caused blockage in a part of his heart that connects to the lungs, meaning his blood was not being oxygenated properly. Although a shunt was tted to clear the blockage, investigations found he also had two holes in the heart and his internal organs were the wrong way around. Under the care of Southampton General Hospital, including ongoing a er-care support from Wessex Heartbeat, Alex has faced a lifetime of operations – including four open-heart surgeries with the most recent performed just a year ago on May 13th 2019, when he also contracted sepsis and had a mini stroke. Mark Ind, Alex’s father, who also supports the charity by putting on fundraising events across Hampshire said: “Alex continues to amaze us with his incredible resilience and passion to raise money for those who have helped him. Despite his condition, as well as living with a pacemaker, Alex decided that lockdown was the perfect opportunity to improve his fitness and hit his target of running 10k – an extraordinary achievement in light of what he has been through during his life. We are eternally grateful for all the amazing care Alex has received over the years from the incredible NHS staff at Southampton General Hospital to all those at Wessex Heartbeat and look forward to giving back to them through our future fundraising efforts.” John Munroe, CEO of Wessex Heartbeat said: “The Ind family have gone above and beyond in their fundraising efforts for Wessex Heartbeat and we are simply in awe at how incredible Alex is. He is a shining example of what a cardiac patient can achieve if they receive the high-quality care and support given by our incredible NHS here in Southampton. We urge everybody to support Alex with his future fundraising efforts by donating what you can through his Just Giving Page.” To donate to Alex, please visit: www. justgiving.com/fundraising/alex-ind- 10km To nd out more about the Wessex Heartbeat and Heartbeat House visit www.heartbeat.co.uk/ Mark and Alex Ind Alex Ind in hospital New Forest District Council’s project to encourage lming in the area, Film:New Forest, has announced that this year’s New Forest Film Festival will be postponed until 2021. Film makers in the area can still get involved locally with a short lm competition running until August. e Film:New Forest Executive Steering Group met virtually and made the di cult decision to cancel this year’s Festival which was scheduled to take place in September. Last year’s inaugural festival celebrated lms with a New Forest connection and during its 9 days, boosted the local economy by over £15,000. Natasha Davies, the Project Lead O cer from NFDC, said “The Executive Steering Group feel, like many event organisers, that it would be irresponsible to continue planning for this year’s event. Instead we look forward to planning the wider New Forest Film Festival for 2021 whilst supporting our partner SPUD with their short film competition, ‘Cleanse’.” e competition is seeking lms of under ten minutes in length, themed around ‘Cleanse’ in four categories: Under 18, Over 18, Best Local Film and Smartphone. Tom So kitis, Operations Manager at SPUD said “With plenty of time to go until the competition closes, we are really looking forward to viewing all the short films and seeing how the theme ‘Cleanse’ has been interpreted. There is an incredible amount of talent in and around the New Forest, so it is a fantastic opportunity for filmmakers to get involved with a local festival. The added incentive is that during lockdown, the decision was made to scrap the entry fee on Film Freeway”. All entries must be submitted by 1st August to be judged by a host of industry experts on the panel ahead of the awards evening on 26th September which will either be held virtually online or at Sway Cinema.
