A Word From the Deputy Director of Public Health

Welcome to the latest DAAT Newsletter. We hope that you find these of interest. We are continually on the look out for contributions of articles, artwork, poems and photographs etc so please send your items to Catherine Draper. If there is something specific you would like to see in the newsletter please let us know. Please email articles/suggestions to [email protected] Since the last newsletter, the DAAT team and partners have been working together to im-plement the Hampshire Substance Misuse Strategy and the articles in this newsletter are illustrative of some of the work and initiatives being delivered. We have also been running a series of themed workshops on the local priorities identified in the strategy to develop local plans to tackle the issues identified in a coordinated way. To date we have covered ‘New Psychoactive Substances’ (NPSs), ‘Prevention & Educa-tion’ and ‘Criminal Justice Pathways’ with the next on ‘Developing Social Capital’ on 17th November. In this edition we are pleased to include an introductory article form the new Hampshire Integrated Adult Substance Misuse Recovery Service provider ‘Inclusion Recovery Hamp-shire’, plus artwork from some of our younger service users from the Catch 22 service. Congratulations to Yateley school, winners of the 2015 national finals of the Global Rock Challenge award! The articles in this edition from ARC and substance misuse services provide a valuable insight into what we all do together and as always I learn a lot from them. Thank you.

By Howard King — Head of Service Development, Inclusion

Community substance

misuse services for adults

in Hampshire are being

provided by a new organi-

sation from 1 July 2015.

Inclusion Recovery Hampshire has been cho-

sen to run the services

which were previously pro-

vided by Solent NHS, CRI

and Parent Support Link.

Inclusion Recovery Hamp-

shire is part of South Staf-

fordshire and Shropshire

Healthcare NHS Founda-

tion Trust and is a national

organisation which works

with individuals, families

and communities who are

affected by drugs, alcohol,

crime and mental health.

The service will be deliv-

ered from eight primary

sites and a number of

smaller satellite venues

across the county.

The primary aim of the ser-

vice is to help service us-

ers recover from the ef-

fects of substance misuse

and there will be a range

of medical, one to one and

groupwork interventions

available.

Inclusion’s vision for drug

and alcohol services is to

develop, with local part-

ners, a recovery-orientated

integrated system that pro-

vides service users, their

families and carers with

information, treatment,

support and evidence-

based interventions.

Across the service, our fo-

cus will be upon support-

ing service users to active-

ly address their substance

misuse, associated offend-

ing behaviour and underly-

ing psycho-social issues

with a choice of both medi-

cal interventions and talk-

ing therapies.


These will be delivered by

highly motivated staff

teams who are well trained

and effectively managed.

At Inclusion, we believe

that service users are ca-

pable of changing their

lives and our role is to fa-

cilitate that change through

enhancing motivation and

providing evidence-based

interventions and alterna-

tives to addiction.

Inclusion and the new ser-

vice in Hampshire please

Reduce Your Risk

By Juliet Turner — The Stroke Association

Did you know that some-

one in the UK has a stroke

every three and a half

minutes?

Many people believe that

strokes only happen to old-

er people and it is a fact

that the risk of having a

stroke doubles every dec-

ade after the age of 55.

However, what isn’t so well

known is that a quarter of

all strokes happen to peo-

ple under the age of 55.

A stroke is a brain attack

which happens when the

blood supply to the brain is

cut off, caused by a clot or

bleeding in the brain.

A stroke can cause difficul-

ties with speech, reading,

writing and counting, de-

pression, extreme fatigue

and physical problems.

The good news is that up

to 80% of all strokes could

be prevented.

High blood pressure is the

main cause of strokes in

adults and often has no

signs or symptoms.

Other risk factors include

high cholesterol, diabetes,

smoking, lack of exercise,

a poor diet, increased

weight and drug or alcohol

abuse.

Eat a healthy diet, stop

smoking, take regular ex-

ercise, lower your alcohol

intake and get an annual

health check with your GP.

Be aware of a heart condi-

tion called Atrial Fibrilla-

tion, a type of irregular

heartbeat which can cause

a stroke – ask your GP for

more details.

Signs of a stroke usually

occur down one side of the

body. Remember F.A.S.T. – Face, Arms, Speech and Time to call 999.


Facial weakness, weak-

ness or numbness and tin-

gling in the arm or leg

and /or disturbances to

speech can all be signs of

stroke, as can disturb-

ances to vision and bal-

ance and a sudden and

very severe headache.

It is very important to call

an ambulance as soon as

you suspect a stroke is

happening.

The Stroke Association is

a charity that offers infor-

mation, advice and support

for stroke survivors and

their families.

They also run free “Know

Your Blood Pressure”

events and stroke aware-

ness presentations for

community groups and

businesses.

For more information and

advice you can visit the

Stroke Association website:

www.stroke.org.uk or call

The Stroke Helpline on

0303 303 3100.

ARC Angels

By Melissa Wheeler — Eastleigh ARC

I am writing this article, to show my appreciation to the members of Eastleigh ARC (Active Recovery Community).

I began the ARC group in Eastleigh at the beginning of March this year and I am so pleased with the way that it has taken off.

We meet up on Tuesday evenings for 90 minutes, with an average turnout of 10 people.

The group is made up of a mixed bunch who come together to help and sup-port each other whilst hav-ing a great time.

We put on a fortnightly quiz, which is everyone’s favourite time, as it can

have hilarious outcomes, a sort of laughing therapy.

On the other weeks, we make plans and organise fundraising events. These events are so successful as every single member has something unique to offer.

The first event we organ-ised was a jumble sale which took place on the 6th June at The Bridge in Eastleigh.

The whole group pitched in and supported the project. It was a long day, but it was a lot of fun.


The second event, was the local car boot sale on the 21st June. It was a 7am start, now that’s dedica-tion!

We were lucky with the weather and had a blast and even managed to dress up.

I took on Tez Cook’s chal-lenge to sell the most ugly, burgundy, old granny dressing gown, with the promise of doubling the money.

This was a tough chal-lenge but I completed it. I’m still waiting for the £2 TEZ!

Combined events raised an amazing £301.23 for the Eastleigh ARC. Great work guys!

We put on a garden party on the 26th June, to say goodbye to Paul, one of our keyworkers.

Everyone took part to pro-vide food. This was a chal-lenge as it had to be gluten free but we managed to put on a great spread and we had a lovely afternoon.

We have had a busy month and have big plans for the summer.

I would like to say a mas-sive thank you to all the members of the Eastleigh ARC.

It’s down to teamwork that the group is so successful and we have a GREAT TEAM, so keep it up and see you Tuesday!

Rock Challenge 2015

By Glyn Wright — County Inspector/Adviser Personal Development Learning, HCC

Rock Challenge is an inno-vative diversionary activity which, not only provides young people with a drug free high, but also increas-es their resilience, self-esteem and, importantly, their physical activity lev-els.

Initially brought to Hamp-shire in 1996, Rock Chal-lenge is now happening in 47 events across the UK, from Inverness to Bourne-mouth.

Rock Challenge engages 20,000 young people each year, making it the biggest youth activity in the coun-try.

In addition to increased physical activity levels, evaluations show that

young people are more aware of healthy lifestyles through being involved.

In each of the schools, young people decide on a theme and put together an eight minute dance perfor-mance to music of their choice.

As well as the theme, the young people design the costumes, the make-up, the hair design and the set.

Participating schools can have up to 100 young peo-ple on stage and up to 34 backstage. Performances are energetic and some-times exhausting to watch.

The young people re-hearse from September for

a couple of hours a week until the heats that start in February or March.

For those schools lucky enough to win their heats, the rehearsing and physi-cal activity opportunities continue until the Southern and Northern finals in June.

To pay for the costumes, make up, travel and set, the young people work hard fund-raising; often washing cars, packing bags, doing dance shows, ‘dancethons’ or other sponsored physical activi-ties.

Initially the event was only for secondary schools but, in 2005, a primary school event was introduced in


Hampshire, with just six schools taking part.

Now primary schools across the country have become involved in the event known as J-rock and the standard is exception-ally high.

Some schools use it as an afterschool activity or club but others commit an after-noon a week to preparing

for the performance, rec-ognising the important link between physical activity and attainment.

Whilst boys are increasing-ly attracted to Rock Chal-lenge and some of the win-ning entries have come from all boys schools, it does provide an excellent opportunity to engage girls who might be reluctant to take part in other forms of

physical activity.

2015 saw the third national event taking place in Mil-ton Keynes with a total of 450 schools taking part in the competition. Schools from across the UK, in-cluding Scotland, came together to compete.

The winning school was Yateley School from Hampshire.

Yateley School, Winners of the 2015 national finals of Rock Challenge

Issue 10

Their theme was “The Scheme” which told the story of the orphans and others in children’s homes that were shipped to Australia between 1945 and 1969 to save Britain money and to increase the white population of Australia.

Impact of Rock Challenge:

In the annual survey of secondary school participants:

71% of students said that they spent 3 or more months rehearsing with 64% spend-ing 3 or more hours per week on their production (outside of curriculum time).

More than 178,000 man-hours were spent rehearsing for Rock Challenge®. Of the respondents, 7,364 felt their self-esteem had improved, with teamwork skills

improving in 93% since they became involved in Rock Challenge®. In the annual survey of primary school participants in the J RockTM event: 2,741 participants said that they spent 3 or more months rehearsing their produc-

tion (outside of curriculum time). 3,692 of the 3,877 students surveyed reported they enjoy school more since be-

coming involved in the event. 94% of respondents reported they have better relationships with their teachers fol-

lowing involvement in the event.

Rock Challenge provides a very valuable alternative physical activity opportunity for young people. It attracts many who may not flourish at competitive sport, it provides an opportunity to dance and perform to some young people who would not be able to afford to engage beyond the school day.

The Wizards of Aus

By Helen Wearing — Joint Head of Dance, Yateley School

Yateley School won their regional heats of Rock Challenge in March and then went on to win the Southern Open Finals (Group A) on Thursday 18 June.

We then received incredi-

ble news that we were the highest scoring school in the South and we had se-cured a place at the Grand National Finals at Milton Keynes on Monday 6 July.

The final brought together nine teams across the

country, with Yateley being crowned National Champi-ons for 2015.

The school opened the second half of the show with their retelling of how orphans were shipped to Australia between 1945

Students from Yateley School with volunteer, John Nicholson, who helped direct the piece (front left)


and 1967, known as the ‘child migration scheme’.

The school were awarded Performer’s Choice. This award is nominated by all other schools and colleg-es taking part in the event.

We also achieved Awards of Excellence for Cultural and Educational Achieve-ment, School Community Support, Entertainment, Visual Enhancement, Costuming Character, Set Design and Function, Drama, Concept, Stage Use, Performance Skill, Choreography, Lighting and Soundtrack, Best Stage Crew and Best Vid-eo production.

The Be Your Best Foun-dation Patron, Baroness Ruth Henig, presented the award for first place and said: “This is the third national final we have had in the UK and the standard was the highest I can remember. It was unbelievable”.

Joint Head of Dance at the school, Helen Wearing said “it has been an in-credible year for our team at Yateley School; there is such a positive atmos-phere on site. Everyone is very proud of our talented students.

We are delighted to have had the opportunity of working alongside John Nicholson, it has helped us grow and develop in Per-forming Arts at our school.”

Next year Yateley School will be entered into the Premier League.

I would also like to thank all our incredibly hard working staff who helped behind the scenes to give such amazing and enrich-ing opportunities to the students. This will be something that they will remember for the rest of their lives.

Just before the students were due on stage Mar-garet Humphreys, Direc-tor of the Child Migrants Trust, called Mr Nichol-son and wished us the best of luck and said that she was delighted that we were raising cultural awareness.

Hampshire Active Recovery Community

Welcome to ARC. We are a peer-led organisation based across Hampshire, helping people on their journey to recovery from substance misuse and alcohol problems. Our aim is to show that a life free from the burden of addiction is both achievable and attractive. Our community is made up of people who are in recovery themselves and others who have an interest in supporting our aims.

ARC runs independent support groups across Hampshire and also works with public sector agencies in related fields.

Our facilitators are formally trained in group working, using recognised models such as Self Management and Recovery Training (SMART); Recovery Available for Women (RAW); and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

The activities organised by ARC co-ordinators in different areas are varied and usually devised locally. We all agree, however, that it is essential to have fun in recovery!

Some of our members like to develop individual expression through art, creative writing or music groups. Others enjoy taking part in organised sports activities. Social events such as quizzes are held regularly.

ARC is proud to promote recovery, both within its own community and with other agencies that influence policies and provide the services available to overcome addiction problems.

ARC representation at a strategic level with public bodies gives us a voice to help improve services and reduce the stigma around addiction issues.

Within ARC we feel it is important to give our members opportunities for personal development to enable them to live and work happily and productively in the wider community.

Our members have a variety of valuable skills, and we encourage development through training programmes and support with social enterprise projects such as our new joint initiative Sandwich Bar opening shortly in Gosport.

Recovery is free and contagious!

Come and join us!

Over 10,000 visitors from all around the country came to watch the Gurkha Cup, a 1-day football league event, held in Queens Avenue, Alder-shot.

This was the 14th annual event organised by Tamu Dhee on Sunday, 24th May.

Aside from the football matches, people also en-joyed the food stalls which were all donating their profits to the Nepal Earth-quake appeal.

This year the event also marked G200 celebrations to commemorate 200 years of Gurkhas in the British Army.

Parachute freefall, dance and the Brigade band dis-play were the additional items for this year.

For the last five years, I have been coordinating the information stand for essential local services to display on the day.

Service Provider Involvement in the Gurkha Cup

By Nem Thapa — Community Support Officer, Rushmoor Borough Council

The President and organising team from TAMU DHEE


For the convenience of the visitors and local services, the display space acts as a one-stop shop for infor-mation leaflets and free-bies.

Using the DAAT funding, a carrier bag was given out to people to store the leaf-lets which had a logo print-ed on it saying ‘working together for the communi-ty’.

One of the visitors who vis-ited the information stand said, ‘it’s good to see local services taking part in this event’.

The service providers in-cluded Hampshire Police, Diabetes UK, Solent NHS Trust, HOMER, Catch-22, My Time Active and Rush-moor Healthy Living, Know the Score Project & Rush-moor Borough Council.

I am grateful to volunteers from Naya Yuva – Tri Chandra Limbu, Gaurab Rana Darai, Bishal Thapa, Pustam Ghale and Suman Ale for their support throughout the event.

Sarah Green from Catch 22 said “We have been

proud to be part of this event in partnership with Nem Thapa and the Safer Rushmoor team for the fourth consecutive year. “

Dambar Gurung from Dia-betes UK said, ‘it would not have been possible to make our presence at Gur-kha Cup if you had not organised this. We hope that you continue to do this in future.’

Changing Lives….Building Futures

By Kirsteen Harris — Hampshire ARC Co-Ordinator

Today Hampshire ARC (Active Recovery Commu-nity) and ATP (About Turn Project) celebrated the growth of the About Turn Project Group.

The group takes place every Wednesday from 9.00 am — 2.30pm with a

healthy free lunch at St Mi-chael and All Angels Cath-olic church, 437 Dunsbury Way, Havant.

This is an open group for anybody to attend who wants recovery from drug or alcohol addiction includ-ing those caught up in the

Criminal Justice System.

The group is facilitated by Hampshire ARC and ser-vice user involvement!

Kirsteen Harris who facili-tates this group would like to thank everyone for their


commitment and engage-ment within the group and would like to invite anyone from any background to come and join us.

The About Turn Project is a drop in group for anyone in the community who want to make changes to their substance misuse and lives.

There is other support available here such as…housing, health, training, employment, mental health, and debt issues.

The About Turn Project (which works closely with both Inclusion Recovery Hampshire and the Inte-grated Offender Manage-ment Service), is adminis-tered by Hampshire and IOW CRC and is support-ed by Hampshire DAAT, the Society of St James, Hampshire Police and the ARC.

Potential Group Facilita-tors are recruited from Ser-vice Users who attend the

Project and are supported by the DAAT and the ATP (CRC) to attend training in various subjects to help them achieve this goal.

We want to change lives and build futures…. We want to listen and under-stand… We want to be-lieve in YOU and motivate you to believe in YOUR-SELF!

We want to encourage change, step by step and watch you grow.

Recovery is contagious and we want you to catch our gift.

Come and Join us and re-ceive a very warm wel-come.

You’re important and you matter!
