PHOTOS AND THINGS

IF I GET THIS RIGHT YOU SHOULD SEE SOME PHOTOS FROM THE LAST NEWSLETTER ALONG WITH THE FULL VERSION OF OUR VERY OWN QUEEN LIZ WHEN HER STREET CLOSED FOR THE WEDDING YOU KNOW THE ONE
ROYAL WEDDING STREET PARTY 29 APRIL 2011




On Friday 29 April 2011 Prince William married Kate Middleton at Westminster Abbey and Elmwood Avenue in Crosby held a street party to celebrate and join in their celebrations.






A group of the neighbours got together and held a series of meetings to decide what was going to happen on the day. First, permission had to be sought from the local council to close the road to traffic and this was given in due course. All the residents were asked if they wanted to be part of it and with just a few exceptions most of the road were glad to join in. We were kept informed of the progress made at each stage by a newsletter. The ‘committee’ bought tablecloths and bunting and all the necessary items out of a small contribution from each household and it was decided to have bouncy castles and games for the children to go on during the course of the day. On the evening before some of the men were asked to put the bunting up between the numerous trees in our road and hoped that it was not too windy for it to blow away before the morning. Lots of rosettes in red, white and blue were also put on the tree branches and as I write, there is still evidence of some of them still around.






On the ‘day’ the residents had to put their cars in the surrounding roads, to keep the road clear for the tables and chairs. The party did not officially start until after the Wedding was over to give everyone a chance to watch the service on the television, although the majority audience was mainly women! The tables, mostly pasting tables, were covered in union jack tablecloths and decorations, and many a cake and drink was blown on to the floor by the wind. All the children looked as if they were having a good time and we all met neighbours we had never seen before or only knew by sight. I have lived in Elmwood Avenue for 18 years, so it was lovely to meet them. During the day there were 2 bouncy castles, one at each end of the road and a notice board with a timetable to tell the children when their activities were starting, such as football games etc. We also had a rock band courtesy of the son of our immediate neighbours.






Most of the neighbours had got into the spirit of it all and the front drives were full of garden tables and chairs, barbecues and garden awnings, as there was a bit of a chilly wind. My family also came to the party, although the small babies did not know what was going on. The local newspaper came along to take a photograph, but I had just taken my granddaughter for a walk to get her to sleep when they came, so I missed my moment in the newspaper as did baby Emma, so baby Dylan had his moment in the paper – not me!






As it got dark, we lit the cheminea and lots of people came to warm themselves by it and the rock music grew louder! As you can imagine the adults began to take over for the evening and a good time was had by all, dancing in the street and karaoke and even dancing on the garden walls, which all seem to have survived quite well. The road was re-opened for traffic at midnight.






There were lots of headaches, tired faces and hangovers the next morning as the clearing up began. As with all good occasions it was sad to see everything almost back to normal very quickly. I wonder if the next celebration will be for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee – I have saved all the flags and bunting – just in case we do it all over again. I wish to thank all the neighbours who made it happen.

AND YES I DID GET IT RIGHT ALTHOUGH I SEEM TO HAVE LOST A PHOTO I USED OF A BOY AND A CAKE SO NEARLY MAYBE

NEURO NEWS MAY/JUNE 2011 ISSUE 20

This was the original version the new amended gives more information about the next stage of the review



FUNDRAISING TO KEEP US ALIVE?


You may be aware that Neurosupport is going through some difficult times. At the end of March, we lost 2 members of staff from the Neurolife section of Working Life as funding came to an end. The Department of Health grant, of around £260,000, was awarded in March 2008, to help people in their recovery and possible return to work, by providing access to a variety of courses. I remember when we first got the grant, as we were facing a similar difficult time regards jobs and funding, and this is the short announcement that went in our very first Neuro News.



“I have some good news! Neurosupport have been awarded a grant from the Dept of Health to fund our ‘Neurological Lifestyles’ Programme for 3 years. (To become Neurolife) As you will be aware we have been running the confidence building courses art, tai -chi, drama etc for some time but on a shoestring budget. We now have the opportunity to develop the programme with a view at the end of the 3 years to being able to demonstrate that the programme is effective and make a business case so that we can be paid for running the programme. The funding will enable us to appoint a new member of staff to work with the Working Life Team and preparations are already underway to recruit that person.” Maureen Kelly.



I write this, 3 years later, and we are again facing difficult times. We await the results of a review undertaken on instructions from the trustees. The firm involved has spoken to all members of staff, volunteers and the people who use the centre in order to compile a report/review. The trustees will meet to view this review on 11th May. The recommendations of this much awaited report, will dictate the way for the centre’s future and are due to be made public towards the end of May. So by the time you read this “all as they say will be revealed”, but not I hope, in a Tommy Cooper way (an old magician for those too young to know him) . Some of the blame must lie in the hands of the bankers (see page 3 for the solution to our financial troubles) who have caused the financial meltdown that has resulted in the tightening of belts and the need to find different ways of doing things. Fundraising and room hire will certainly help Neurosupport and the people who use our services in the difficult times ahead, but the way people hire our rooms may have indirectly been affected, so if you belong to a support group or know of anyone who may need to hire a room pass them on to Chris Wall who will be able to help, at very reasonable rates of course! Alan Clark.

The trustees have accepted the report from the review with lots of positives and Adrienne is going to draw up an outline business plan for the future.

FUNDRAISING TO KEEP US ALIVE- PART 2




So! how can we, as volunteers, help Neurosupport to find some of the money needed? As part of the fund-raising committee myself, I am aware of several things which will allow us to help, attend, spread the word about and generally get involved. The first would be to donate items for our (now) monthly raffle (see below). During the past months the raffles we have held, have proved very successful. In Brain Awareness Week, at our tea party for the young persons group around £360 was raised and the recent Easter egg raffle raised approx £100, so as you can see from some effort in selling raffle tickets and by donating those unwanted gifts, in a couple of months we raised nearly £500, hence the reason for the monthly raffles. Other things that you might like to get involved in to help out Neurocinema street, store collecting, DAD in Warrington and of course out Brain Bike Ride 3rd September. Check our latest edition of Glance.



Our ’Race Night’ on 20th May, also helped raise some money. Thanks to the staff and volunteers who had a hand in the organising this event. I have devoted most of the news about the race night to pictures and a few chosen words from some the sponsors (mainly yourselves) on the night, these comments ranged from “I need to get another loan” to “never again” but in all seriousness we did manage to raise around £1100 that evening, according to Geoff at least half came from him, so well done to everyone who went, helped and generally joined in. Tracy who works in the kitchen on a Tuesday had a great time, as did Liz and Wendy. I did hear that the man who won 1 race put his winnings back in the pot so to speak and at £90 that is a good pot to put his money in, so a big thank you to him. Check our very own website http://neuronewsletterspart1.blogspot.com/ for other pictures and more of Liz’s story.




THE FIX OF ALL ILLS


Dear Mr. Cameron,



Consider the following plan, as my suggestion for fixing England’s economy : You can call it the Patriotic Retirement Plan or Big Society Plan if you like.

There are about 10 million people over 50 in the work force. Pay them £1million each severance pay for early retirement with the following stipulations:

They MUST retire. Ten million job openings– unemployment fixed.

They MUST buy a new British car. Ten million cars ordered– car industry fixed.

They MUST either buy a house or pay off their mortgage– housing crisis fixed.

They MUST send their kids to school/college/university— crime rate fixed.

They MUST buy £100 worth of alcohol/tobacco a week…..and there is your money back in duty/tax etc. Cheers!

Our own Queen Liz and a ‘Right Royal’ Wedding party



On Friday, 29th April 2011, Prince William married Kate Middleton at Westminster Abbey and to celebrate, Elmwood Avenue in Crosby held a street party to join in their special day. On the ‘day’, residents had to put their cars in the surrounding roads, to keep the road clear for the tables and chairs. The party did not officially start until after the wedding was over, to give everyone a chance to watch the service on the television, although the majority audience was mainly women!

I wish to thank all the neighbours who made it happen. Liz Tunnicliffe.


A VOLUNTEERS STORY - Liz Tunnicliffe




My name is Liz Tunnicliffe and I am a volunteer at Neurosupport, working at the reception desk.

On 20th September 2006 I had a CVA, (cerebrovascular accident) which caused a blood clot in my brain. This had followed a year in which I was in hospital on numerous occasions and would eventually be diagnosed with chronic kidney disease. At approximately 9.00am, the CVA happened, fortunately Harry, my husband, came home shortly afterwards and I was rushed by ambulance to Aintree University Hospital. Dr Sharma and the stroke team met the ambulance at the door, I was given an MRI scan and was a suitable candidate for the clot busting drug (this drug cannot be given if it had been a bleed on the brain, but mine was a clot) and fortunately I was within the 3 hour window for the drug to be administered. I write this from what I have been told happened.

Whilst initially I made a good recovery, I think because I was so pleased that I had survived the stroke, but the reality soon set in and there were still many issues to be addressed. I had been badly affected by emotional liability and it would be a long time before I was able to cope with this side of the stroke and I am still dealing with it. I had a lot of support from the Family Liaison Officer from the Stroke Association. I remember he once said to me, as I was recovering, ‘The first time he saw me he was reminded of a little wounded bird and gradually he began to see the changes in me’. His help was invaluable. I had physiotherapy, speech therapy (to help my speech and swallow), which I still have issues about. I had good support and encouragement from Harry, my family, friends and also members of the team at Neurosupport. A year later in 2007, I had to have a pacemaker fitted. Sadly I had to give up my job, as a medical secretary, as I would have found it to difficult to cope and this took me quite a while to accept. I have a different life now but try to always remain positive and look to new challenges without exerting myself too much. I look forward to a good future especially now that Harry and I have 2 lovely grandchildren.

Liz Tunnicliffe. 12th May 2011.

LAST NIGHT DVD RECORDER AND TV STOPPED TALKING TO EACH OTHER SO WHERE WILL THIS STORY TAKE US AS THEY SAY WATCH THIS SPACE

missing

Why do i have no time any more a question we all must ask ourselves over the years where did that week go and why haven't i been able to put our own Neuro News our very own newsletter
Well different things have happened the man fell off the roof fixing a plant that was growing through the roof luckily it was a small fall and no injuries apart from a very old gutter and that was the cause of a few days lost in a world of DIY not my forte i must admit i was just the gofer to see if we could get the old one a mixture of cast iron and aluminium, but in plastic my trip around Liverpool and surrounding areas and varying yards and places that i did not know existed i have passed them by these mini industrial estates on the outskirts where you always pass until someone falls off the roof and the words as you take in the 5 ft sample" have you tried there "or most definitely not here and off you go again with your bit of gutter for all the world to see as it's your passenger for what seems the whole day but in fact was only around 4 hours and around 2 gallon of now very expensive petrol so the quick and cheap job did turn in to a long and expensive job with repairs as the only answer to the problem
Another missing was a quick break only for a night down in Shropshire the car was the start of my missing when it wouldn't start around 70 miles from home and as you have guessed a quick fix was about but at a price not the quick and cheap break i thought but life can be like that sometimes

All the holidays have not helped well who needs them all of us of course and how good was the timing of the wedding
so with luck i will try and bring you the ramblings of a volunteer

MARCH/APRIL 2011 ISSUE 19

BRAIN AWARENESS WEEK 14TH -18TH MARCH 2011

What a strange world we live in, (or is it just me), when you look at the picture of the brain, do you ever wonder how we came to be here?
Brain awareness week (BAW) will have passed by the time you read this newsletter, but I just wanted to remind us all of how we all ended up here, here being Neurosupport (if you came in by mistake for the coach to Birmingham and have stayed, thank you, although auntie Betty might wonder where you are) and The Walton Centre. BAW is held the same time of year that Sally was discharged from hospital all those (15) years ago, you may recall my story of a carer and why daffodils mean so much, this time of year always makes us remember. Early in March, as I drove around (not walking as I should) Sefton Park to look at this years display (they were nearly in bloom), I wondered why I never seem to have the time of late enjoy such simple pleasures, as a walk around the park. A classic example is I am writing this in a café, as Sally and a friend buy up Marks& Spencer, well it is sale time and as the New Year sales for Sally came and went while she lay in bed not watching the world go by and missing the sales, this has at least brought us out. I realise I will have to learn to say no when someone says “there is a meeting”, or “somewhere to go” to raise awareness etc. for Neurosupport and the Walton Centre.
My visit on 10th March to our Patient Information Desk did not go well. Our temporary or should I say new desk, seems to be as on the plan, but it may be changed, so we are not sure where it will end up. I only stayed an hour; as they say watch this space!! At the moment membership of the Walton Centre Foundation Trust seems high on the agenda with a need to sign up new members, so putting on my governor’s hat, if there are any volunteers who have not yet signed up, can I urge you and any family members (as long as they are over 16 years of age) to do so, no fee involved, but your signature is needed (my governor’s hat is now off).
So back to raising awareness and how we came to be here, (no! not the bus station) for some of us it means we are not the same as when we were born, that sudden injury, infection or something that defies even the doctors has led us to be involved with the neurological world. However some of us have been born into that world with a condition that is visible and/or invisible. I was talking to someone recently who has

cerebral palsy, their condition is very visible and although they are part of the bigger community and things have gotten better as regards access and people’s understanding, they still feel as though they are a community on their own, as some people still lack understanding. please discuss why this is so! Alan Clark.

TESCO COLLECTION ON TUESDAY 15TH MARCH

I am the one behind the camera (doing my David Bailey act). I was joined by Ron, Carly, Jackie, Verity and Janet who gave up their time to collect and shake a bucket at Tesco in Allerton. With the help of Christina, Tommy and Keith on the other days, we managed to raise just short of £1000. So a big thank you to everyone who shook a bucket for Neurosupport, and to those who helped behind the scenes. A Thank you too, to the generous people who gave their hard earned cash, to Tesco and their staff. Alan Clark.


Please note we have 2 other events coming up when you can help shake that bucket, a street collection in June Carer’s week and of course the bike event on Saturday 3rd September so let Carolyn know if you can make either or both of those events.

Fate

A young person said to me today
Can you come and show me the way
“Where are you going” I said with a smile
“I'm going on a trip I am on my last mile”
“Where is this place you are going in a hurry”
“It's a place in town I've no time to worry
I have got my hat to wear and I'll soon be there”
So off we go to the place where people really care
I took her hand as she could not see
And found she was going to the same place as me
“It's Brain Awareness week at Neurosupport
Wait till they see what I have bought”
Out of the bag she took her hat
“Does it suit me or does it look a bit tat?
It was the last one in the shop the end of a line”
“I said no you don't, it suits you just fine”
A cup of tea, some cake and a raffle
If you could see it would be half the battle
Our paths had crossed was it just fate?
As I ate my food off a paper plate
I looked around but she had gone
I wondered where she had come from
But I had this cold feeling, shivers down my spine
On a table was a note which said” I've run out of time”
Then a white feather floated down from the ceiling
Why had she been here and what was the meaning?

A HEAD MATTERS TEA PARTY - 16th MARCH 2011
The ‘Head Matters’ tea party was held for Brain awareness week and as a und raiser in aid of the Young Persons Group, based at Neurosupport. At this moment of writing, the funding for the group is no more, although funding applications are on-going. Familiar faces as well as members of the public turned up in support, along with most of the young persons group. Alas there were no hats/bonnets! On offer were a selection of home-made cakes, tea and coffee. Highly recommended by Sally and Alan was a delicious cream cake made by Pat’s (see back page) daughter-in-law. It was not the place to be if you were on a diet. There was a raffle, with the prizes being donated by staff & relatives of the Young Persons Group. Maybe next year we can all get in the party mood by wearing silly hats (staff as well) to show that your head does matter, that hats can protect your head from head injury. What about getting a local school involved making hats and then invite them to the tea party. Food for thought indeed!!




A VOLUNTEER’S STORY— PAT FOWLER

I work as volunteer at Neurosupport and have lived with epilepsy from when I was a child. I have good times and bad. The type of epilepsy I have is called Parsial, which means I have
unaware fits as well those known as petit mal. At this present moment I am having unaware fits, these started over a year ago. Dr Weismann of The Walton centre is helping me with my condition by trying new drugs, in order to control them. Over the years I have been to many hospitals including, a long time ago, The David Lewis centre in Knutsford, where they helped me sort out my tablets.
I have worked, in the past, as a telex operator, at Stork and for Park Hampers, but for the last 20 years I have been unable to work because of my epilepsy. When I first spoke to Neurosupport and Merseyside Regional Epilepsy Association (MREA) they were able to help me in different ways. For the last 6 years I have worked as a volunteer on reception, this involves, amongst other things, answering the phone. I enjoy working at Neurosupport and love every minute I am on duty. The staff here are great, they respect all the volunteers and the work that we do. I love seeing everyone at our meetings and our days out. I would like to thank everyone over the years that have helped me.
I have a great family, my son, daughter-in-law and my 2 lovely grand-children help me a lot with my condition. I will not let epilepsy rule my life, I take each day as it comes, whether I have a fit or I don’t.

17 MILES ON 17TH MARCH 2011 FROM SOUTHPORT HOSPITAL TO THE WALTON CENTRE THE START AND FINISH OF AN AMAZING JOURNEY.

The day for me and Joe started with an interview on Radio Merseyside at around 7.25am just before the news, me getting in my car in South Liverpool to meet up with Joe and his friends and Joe himself talking about the walk and his brain tumour on the radio from his home in Southport.
I arrived at Southport Hospital with suit carrier in my car with time to have tea and the magic bacon butties to revive me as my day had started at 5.00am, so at around 8.30am it was just what I needed for the day ahead. At around 9.00am, Joe and his son Matthew arrived along with other walkers and by 9.30am we were all assembled for the start of the walk in good spirits as you can see from the photo below.

After an official photo for Joe’s local paper “Champion” they set off for the 17 miles ahead, however I cheated and set off in my car, passing them on the way to the A 565 Liverpool road before turning off to meet up with the Trans Pennine trail then onto Lydiate where they then followed the Leeds-Liverpool canal as far as Aintree, before arriving at the Walton Centre at around 5.00pm, a journey of just over 16 miles as the pedometer told us on the day, so not quite 17 but near enough for me. On my way to the Walton centre from Southport, I called in for a cup of tea and a few laughs at Gordon and Brenda Milward’s house, 2 of the speakers for later in the day, a patient and a carer, as well as them also looking after the Parkinson’s information table, it came as a welcome relief for what would for me be a busy afternoon.
The reason for the suit carrier will now become clear. I am a Merseyside governor for the Walton Centre, where I also volunteer and along with asking Joe to do this walk in what is Brain Awareness Week I had also arranged for what we called Brain Awareness day, a chance for members of the public and members to get information about the Trust and talk to fellow governors, as well as get information from around 25 neurological charities on the day, which started at around 2.00pm and finished at 5.00pm and that finishing time is important because along with the charities in the lecture theatre we had a doctor giving a presentation about epilepsy, a physiotherapist talking about her work and for me the highlight, patients and carers telling their stories of how they live from day to day with their condition.
I know personally all of the 5 people who talked about themselves and I was the link to present them to members of the public and as I sat and listened to very moving stories of their lives, in another part of the site Joe and his friends had at last made the nearly 17 mile journey, they had arrived at the entrance to the Walton Centre. Time had been running against me meeting up at the end as throughout the afternoon I had phoned Joe and the original time of 3.30pm had become a distant memory and the presentations were also running late, I could not be in 2 places at once with my trusty camera. Fortunately we did have as they say a plan B in the shape of my link to the Walton Centre, Karen Lloyd and Michelle Barry who with the Trust’s camera have supplied me with the final photo.

I would like to thank everyone who has been involved in the walk and brain awareness day, whether it was in raising money through sponsorship, which now stands at around £550 with more money to be collected for Neurosupport and The Brain Tumour Support Group. Everyone from the Walton Centre who helped with the organisation and members of the public who supported the event, charities who turned up as well as people who supported Joe by sponsoring him on his walk, the whole purpose of both the walk and the Brain Awareness Day was to raise awareness to people who maybe are not aware of The Walton Centre and Neurosupport and neurological conditions and how they can affect peoples’ lives and their families.
