ENVIRONMENT We know how important it is to look after our planet for our future generations, which is why we love being members of the Woodland Trust Carbon Capture Scheme. In the production of our Tide Collection magazines 16m2 of native woodland is created every month.

The Carbon Capture Scheme helps us mitigate our carbon emissions by planting trees right here in the UK. We’ve helped fund the planting of 250,000 already! Each tree planted will grow into a vital carbon store, helping us reduce our environmental impact.

The UK is one of the most nature-depleted countries in the world. Working with Woodland trust helps us to protect the precious wildlife habitat that remains and plant the trees needed to create new homes for creatures big and small.

Thanks to the generosity of programme I was captured by the shift in the children’s some Members the Trust hopes to offer support for a few children who show confidence.

“As one of the most active RYA training centres on the East Coast, it is a great tribute to our Members who have shown huge support to AYC Schools Sailing Trust, both financially and by committing their time and expertise. We feel confident that the work done over the last few years has established a sustainable programme to benefit young people in the area for many years to come,” comments Johnny Dawson, Commodore of Aldeburgh Yacht Club.

Suffolk Secrets, founding sponsor of the programme, along with RF Upson & Son, James White Drinks, Stressless (Ekornes Ltd) and Ward & McKenzie Yacht Consultants continue to support AYC Schools Sailing.

AYC Schools Sailing Programme is part of the RYA Onboard initiative which gives young people the opportunity to try sailing and hopefully lead them to love water sports but also enables them to develop skills that will help them in their daily lives.

Tim, I wanted to congratulate you on achieving the exchange on Chris’s property. Without your tenacity and extraordinary effort, that wouldn’t have happened. Any other estate agent, that sale would have fallen apart. Jack Fairweather (Solicitor)

Tim provided us with genuinely invaluable guidance in our year-long search for a home in Suffolk. It would not have been possible to navigate these choppy waters without Tim’s no-nonsense, indefatigable, and always excellent advice and assistance. I have no hesitation in recommending him and his firm to anyone else looking to buy or sell on the Suffolk Coast.Richard Wald QC

THE WILDLIFE GARDEN AT ALDEBURGH

For many years the ten acres of garden at Priors Oak, alongside the Aldeburgh to Leiston road, have been open to the public on selected days, with all income going to a wide variety of charities - so far over £50,000. The owner, Trudie Willis, runs the garden on organic principles and its many habitats range from formal gardens and very productive vegetable beds to an extensive wildlife area. This includes ponds, a copse, acid grassland and a long hedge of native species. The rich biodiversity is helped by close proximity to the coast and the RSPB’s North Warren nature reserve. Reconditioned railway carriages and a chalet give a multitude of details about the garden’s creation, development and wildlife. There are also animals and a refreshment area.

One beneficiary has been the Suffolk Branch of Butterfly Conservation and it has now funded a fully illustrated book about the garden, priced at £7.50. Copies can be obtained at local outlets or from the author, Richard Stewart, at 112, Road, , Suffolk, IP4 2 XW: cheque for £7.50 to ‘Richard Stewart’. The book will also be available at future garden open days. For details go to: sites.google.com-site-priorsoakbutterflygarden.
