Page 16 • The HERALD • 18th April 2024 v SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL BUSINESSES v WATERSIDE NETWORK GROUP: MEMBER FOCUS by Simon Chadwick Susan Hayward began the Hayward Hub 13 years ago, using her passion for coaching and training to help individuals and businesses. e Hayward Hub has three complementary parts. e rst is business coaching aimed at supporting micro and small businesses (up to 50 or so employees). e second is mental health education and training, delivering premium mental health rst aid and mental health awareness courses for adults and young people. e third is personal development coaching, supporting and empowering clients to attain their goals. ere is a strong case for business owners to work with a business coach to improve their business in the short and long term. A business coach gives you someone to discuss challenges with, to help plan your next growth stage, or to walk with you through the di cult times. You’ll get an experienced, independent, and honest view of your business – what you need to hear, not necessarily what you want to hear. As economic and personal challenges increase, the need for businesses to responsibly care for the well-being of employees and colleagues in the workplace has grown. Mental health rst aid and mental health awareness courses meet the need for wellbeing in the workplace. At any given time, 1 in 6 working-age adults have symptoms associated with poor mental health and 1 in 4 people experience poor mental health each year. Increasing sta knowledge, skills and con dence to pro-actively support colleagues becoming overwhelmed pays dividends on manpower budgets. Based in Hythe, Susan has over 35 years of experience in the sector. She o ers business owners a free two-hour, no-strings-attached business review and a free one-hour initial chat with those seeking coaching or mentoring. To learn more, take a look at: www.

If yes, then we at Walbank Opticians know how you feel. Symptoms of Dry Eye include sore, gritty and tired eyes, intermittent blurry vision, and di culty with daily tasks such as driving. e most common cause of Dry Eye is Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (located at the lid margins). Traditional remedies such as drops and heat masks merely soothe the symptoms – they do not treat the underlying in amed and dysfunctional glands. erefore, Walbank Opticians have invested in Intense Pulse Light (IPL) treatment for Dry Eye patients. IPL is used to treat the meibomian glands and reduce the growth of abnormal blood vessels around the eyelids. e revolutionary treatment has been shown to increase production of higher quality meibum oils and improve lubrication of the eye, providing longerlasting relief and more comfort. I’m on a mission to beat Dry Eye disease and would love to help if you are su ering. If you want your eyes to feel more comfortable and be healthier, or if you want to treat the underlying cause of Dry Eye, call 023 8089 2969 to book in for a Dry Eye Assessment at our premises in Long Lane, Holbury.
