Brendoncare, the W i n c h e s t e r - b a s e d charity that runs care homes and community services for older people, has launched a new community club in Totton. The Totton Seated Exercise Club, led by a trained instructor, is now running at Hounsdown Community Centre on Fridays between 2pm and 4pm. e instructor takes club members through a series of gentle but e ective exercises, designed to improve strength and mobility, all from a seated position. Everyone then enjoys a catch-up over refreshments. Lydia Silverthorn, the Clubs’ Locality Manager said of the new club: “Our thriving network of more than 70 clubs with 700 members across Hampshire and Dorset provides a fantastic opportunity for older people to enjoy regular social events, try out new activities and make new friends. We are delighted we have extended our club network to Totton with a fun club which encourages everyone to stay motivated and keep moving. All are welcome to come and join us, enjoy some great company and have fun together.” To nd out more about becoming a Brendoncare club member or to book a free taster session for the Totton Seated Exercise Class, please call 01962 857099, email: clubs@ brendoncare.org.uk or visit the website: www. br endonca r e . or g . uk / community/communityclubs One of Brendoncare’s seated exercise clubs – a new club is opening in Totton On Saturday 25th June, 10.45am to 2pm, the Hythe Seascouts will be continuing their programme of fundraisers with a Bric-a-brac and car boot sale at e Hut, Shore Road, SO45 6DF. Funds raised will go towards replacing the boat store areas and maintenance at the headquarters of the Hythe Sea Scouts Group (4TH New Forest East). 20 tables are available to ‘rent’: £5 per table inside and 10 car (boots) available to ‘rent’ at £7 per carboot on the grass outside the hut. Hythe Seascouts request a small donation (of your choosing) from any pro t you make from your own table on the day. ere will also be 1 group table and 1 group carboot available for those people who may not want to rent a table but wish to donate good quality wares. If you have Bric-a-brac to donate please email: fundraising@hytheseascouts. org.uk ‘Shoppers’ are invited to park at the shoreline carpark in order to keep the carpark as free as possible. Teas, co ees and cakes will be available on the day. e headquarters of the Hythe Sea Scouts Group (4TH New Forest East) has been situated on Shore Road in Hythe over the last four decades. During that time 2000 local boys and girls have been active members. e Squirrels, Beavers, Cubs, Scout Group and Explorer Scouts provide a marvelous range of sea activities: sailing, boating, SUP and canoeing. Also, there are opportunities for families to take part in events such as sailing days, BBQ and fundraising events, cycle rides etc. Unfortunately, the site and boat storage areas have been eroded over time due to the vicinity of the hut to the shoreline. Much has been done over the years, with the help of local businesses and fundraising, to save the site from erosion and to ensure the safety of the area due to its special scienti c interest. During Covid, numbers in the groups remained high and the children remained engaged (even growing the troop to accommodate the littlest Squirrels!), whilst ongoing work took place to maintain and improve the boating equipment. Sadly, funds are drying up to keep the boat stores and sheds in good order. Also, the land around these storage areas has been damaged due to the recent storms and high tides. A Just Giving page for Hythe Sea Scouts has also been set up alongside the 2023 programme of fundraising. Any nancial contribution or support to this cause is also welcomed via the Hythe Sea Scouts Just Giving Page: www. justgiving.com/4thhytheseascouts Alternatively any contribution to the 2023 fundraising campaign by way of ra e prizes or any other suitable means would be gratefully accepted. Hythe Seascouts look forward to seeing you at the Bric-a-brac and car boot sale on 25th June. You never know what you might uncover amongst the jumble!
