Martin Rumsey, Watch Manager at Hardley Fire Station commented: “We decided to support Honeypot this year because Honeypot House is just down the road from the station and we know they provide much needed respite and support to local young carers. It’s good to give back to the local community whilst having fun at our Open Day.” Honeypot’s Wrap-Round service aims to alleviate social isolation, support young carers’ emotional wellbeing, and help them build the con dence and skills they need to succeed in education. Services include residential respite breaks, learning breaks, creative virtual workshops, memorable days out and the Wellbeing Fund. Viv Carter, Honeypot’s Community Engagement Manager said: “We are so grateful to Hardley Fire Station for thinking of the local young carers that we support, currently over 60 children from the SO45 postcode area. This donation is enough to fund a Wellbeing grant to buy a young carer life essential items to support them at home, like replacing a broken washing machine so they don’t need to handwash clothes or buying school shoes/ coat/backpack etc. These grants help young carers aged 5-12 build brighter futures, which is what Honeypot is all about.” If you would like to know more about Honeypot, please contact viv@honeypot.org.uk or visit www.honeypot. org.uk Firefighters from Hardley Fire Station with Bumble (Honeypot’s Mascot) and Martin Rumsey, Watch Manager - Hardley (holding cheque) as conductors. is concert was their debut and a tribute to the way they kept the orchestra going through the trials of Covid over the last few years.

A lovely venue in an open marquee next to the lake and the sunflower pyramid at Sunnyfields farm was a perfect place to perform. John Bell has been the musical director of this group of amateur musicians and has seen it develop over the years. A whole range of musicians are involved ranging from complete beginners, people returning to an instrument a er a break, to experienced players. John Bell created a very inclusive environment to develop people’s confidence as well as arranging especially devised music to suit the musical abilities of the players. Such is the inclusivity that John has stepped down from conducting and developed three of the orchestra’s players Marchwood Prelude Concert at Sunnyfields
