Update to our article on Junior Neighbourhood Watch in Issue 51
We are pleased to report that the first Junior
Neighbourhood Watch After School Club in
East Sussex was held at Ocklynge Junior School
during September and October, aimed at Year 6,
( the ten and eleven age group). Observations
by Ward Coordinator Nigel Parker, who will also
be assisting in future Courses:
‘Eastbourne Neighbourhood Watch, along with
Sussex NHW Federation, the Magistrates
Association, ESCC and Sussex Police started
a programme for young children and plan to
introduce this programme to all other junior
schools within Eastbourne in the near future.
The programme has been successful in West
Sussex already and we hope that it will be just
as successful here too. The children who
attended the Course seemed to enjoy the
lessons, the interaction and role play. They
worked through their individual workbooks
with us during the six week course.
Through my observations over those few weeks,
the children seemed to be quick to learn and
enjoyed the set tasks and activities. For example,
lesson 5 consisted of local magistrates who
joined us and encouraged the children to act out
a mock court case, under their guidance, which
was thoroughly enjoyed by all.
Each child who had participated in the Course
was awarded a Certificate by Police Commander
Steve Biglands, and we hope that what they have
learned will stay with them for life.
The school was also presented with a Certificate
for their participation in making the inaugural
Course possible, and Eastbourne Neighbourhood
Watch thanked them for this.
Eastbourne Junior Neighbourhood Watch was
made financially possible by contributions/
donations from the Police Crime Commissioner’s
Youth Fund, Eastbourne Borough Council,
Eastbourne Waitrose and Tesco Hampden Park.’
Come and Join us!
Eastbourne Neighbourhood Watch Association has
one of the highest percentages of membership in
the whole of East Sussex! As a result, we need

We Must Do This Again!
Who Are You Buying Presents for?
1)
Keep your home secure, and store your
gifts out of sight until Christmas comes:
A recent Coffee Morning, held in Old Town, gave
the Street Coordinators in Meads, Upperton and
Old Town the opportunity to get to know one
another. This was a great success, and
organized by our Ward Coordinators of those
areas. Everyone agreed that we should do it
again, so watch this space, and if you would like
one in YOUR area, let us know, and we would
give you a helping hand!
2)
Make sure your home looks occupied,
use time switches for lighting and close
the curtains.
Keep Your Canine
Under Control!
3)
Be a good neighbour, report
anything suspicious:
4)
Don’t leave goods and
presents on view in your car:
5)
AND DON’T FORGET – empty boxes
outside your house advertise valuables
inside.
Eastbourne Police are cracking down on
Christmas Crime, and need your help!
Don’t openly carry valuable presents from
your car in to your home, pop them in to a black
sack. once in your home, follow these tips:
Man’s best friend comes in
many guises, and some look
more fierce than others.
Please be aware that if your dog threatens
others, or their owners, Environmental Health
can prosecute, and now have more powers
following recent new legislation. So if in doubt,
keep Fido on a lead whenever you are in a
public place, and be your dog’s best friend!
Have a safe, secure and happy christmas!
Keep your Fire in the Fireplace!
You are a Winner!
Christmas decorations burn easily, so never
attach them to lights or heaters. Have your
tree lights got a British Safety Standard sign?
You have won some money or a wonderful prize,
says the voice on the phone. As Scrooge said:
‘Bah! Humbug!’ It may be tempting to go along
with such Scams, especially as Christmas can
be expensive, but please don’t be fooled – the
only person who will win, is the Con Artist!
Careful
with
Candles
Keep candles well away from little
hands and from the tree, or any
materials that can catch light easily.
Most fires start in the kitchen, so
don’t leave a cooker unattended.
Close-Coupled is a must!
That is the proper name for a secure padlock
for your shed or garage – anything less will
have the opportunist burglar rubbing their
hands with glee!

YOUR NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH WARD CO-ORDINATORS
1 MEADS: Roy Peacock: 01323 647729: ‘No domestic residential burglaries have occurred over
the past 3 months, but thefts from unforced car entries did occur. With the onset of earlier darker
nights, remember to leave a light(s) and/or a radio on in the home if leaving it, and do ensure your
car is locked when parked, and do not leave items on show that might invite someone to break in.
Be safer this winter, and may I wish you all an early Happy Christmas.’
2 DEVONSHIRE: Your Ward Coordinator has moved, so could someone spare some time to
deliver Newsletters for us in this Ward? 01323 507665.
3 UPPERTON: Colin Sargent: 01323 731909: ‘The phone rings and a ‘Police Officer’ tells you
they’ve arrested some youths who have card details – sounds very convincing – ask you to call
your bank to verify, but stays holding your line so you talk to an accomplice who tries to get your data.
Watch out for this, it happened to a colleague but he used his mobile, as I’ve warned everyone here
before, about Scammers holding a line.’
4 OLD TOWN: Marion Underwood: 07971 874846: ‘Thank you so much to all the Old Town
members who were able to come and support our Coffee Morning on Oct 4th, and make it the
success it was. The general consensus was that it was an enjoyable and worthwhile event enabling
us to get to know each other better.'
5 RATTON & RODMILL: John & Pam Rollison: 01323 507665: ‘We now have some helpers to
deliver the Newsletters, but still need someone to oversee the Ward.’
6 HAMPDEN PARK EAST: John & Pam Rollison: 01323 507665: ‘Keith Fillery has retired and we
are looking for a person to distribute Newsletters in this area. We would appreciate hearing from
anyone who could support us in this way’
6a HAMPDEN PARK WEST: John & Pam Rollison: 01323 507665: ‘If someone new is moving into
a property near you, please knock and say hello – they may well be glad of a friendly face, especially
if they are on their own. Tell them about Neighbourhood Watch!’
7 ST ANTHONY’S: Nigel Parker: 01323 645529: ‘As winter is fast approaching, we all ask to be
safe on the streets on dark nights. A member of NHW in St Phillip’s Avenue will be attending a
meeting in Lewes with Cllr David Tutt to address the speeding issues in that road this month.
We wait for the outcome. '
8 SOVEREIGN: Alan Gander 07852 245333 (leave message): ‘Winter is now upon us, so double
check all windows (put a curtain up!) and doors to sheds and garages to make sure they are closed
securely, and no tools and valuables are left laying around outside. New Newsletter deliverers
would also be welcome. Interested? Contact me at [email protected]’

Eastbourne Neighbourhood Policing Team
Eastbourne Police has a
LGBT Liaison Officer her
name is PC Vicky Bishop.
I am a Neighbourhood Schools
Officer (NSO) for Eastbourne.
I joined Sussex Police in 2002,
working as a response officer
covering Wealden for seven
years before working as a
Neighbourhood Police Officer
in Heathfield.
My role includes enhancing the
relationship between the police
and lesbian, gay, bisexual
and transgender people in
Eastbourne, in an effort to boost people’s trust
and confidence in coming forward to report hate
crime incidents. I also work to develop ways in
which we can improve our service to the LGBT
community.
As an NSO I work closely with the numerous
schools, providing a vital link between the police
and the schools themselves. I regularly visit the
schools to deliver “Inspire”, the Sussex Police
Education Programme which has been developed
to educate children and young people with the
objective of preventing them from becoming
victims or offenders of crime.
Though I do not actively investigate the reported
crime, by calling me, victims can discuss the
incident then work out the most suitable process
for the matter to be reported. I can also provide
expert advice and assistance to police
investigators. I have good knowledge of and
links to many service providers within the LGBT
community and can make recommendations for
appropriate support services.
Forming close and professional relationships with
both the teachers and pupils is key to the success
of “Inspire”, and it is clear that the young people
in Eastbourne enjoy and benefit from positive
interaction with the local police. For any parent or
student who wishes to contact me please do so
on either my work mobile telephone number
07917 263919 or by email:
[email protected].
To contact me please call 07787 685798 or
email me: [email protected]
Please feel free to contact me, however please
bear in mind that this number should not be used
to report emergencies.

BOXES FULL OF LOVE
Mustard Seed Relief Mission is a Christian
Eastbourne based charity who have worked
tirelessly over the past 21 years to support
disadvantaged children of the Ukraine and Moldova
with humanitarian aid and educational projects.
The charity is best known for its 'Love in a Box'
initiative. The charity collects, sorts and sends
35,000 shoe boxes filled with gifts for the children.
This is the only Christmas present the children will
receive.
This project is only possible with the kind support of
many hundreds of churches, schools, businesses
and organisations such as Rotary, Women's
Institute and Inner Wheel.
They all run around showing each other what they
have received. The boxes mainly contain pens,
pencils, toys, colouring books and anything that a
person thinks a child may like.
Every year the warehouse in Eastbourne is filled
with the precious gifts waiting to be transported to
the children. Each box is carefully sorted, checked
and sealed by an army of dedicated volunteers
from October through November.
When people ask why we do what we do - the
answer given is always - there is nothing more
precious than to see a child smile, safe in the
knowledge that someone cared enough to send
a gift of love to them. The present shows
compassion for these children and to us this
is truly priceless.
When the presents have gone through this process
they are loaded on to five lorries, which are hired
through a transport company and away they go on
a five day journey to reach the Mission Centres.
The boxes are unloaded and stored until the
distribution team arrives from the UK.
Then comes the best bit!! Upon arrival the team
get to work visiting as many orphanages, schools
and churches as they can. Every child receives a
gift and there is nothing better than to see a child's
eyes light up when they receive their ‘Love in
a Box’. They all sit down and carefully open
them - then the excitement takes over. Laughter,
enthusiasm and giggles of delight fill the rooms.

our charity please
