Committee members were impressed both by the pupils’ current initiatives and by their ambitions. Deputy Headteacher Mrs J Brenig-Jones said: “The children got so much out of the meeting so thank you to Hythe and Dibden Parish Council for having us. They came back with such a buzz as they ‘felt so important’ and were so proud of themselves for speaking. It really helped open their eyes to the workings of a Parish Council.” This engagement followed a Year 5 project on 12th September, in which pupils explored Hythe’s foreshore alongside representatives from BMP, Southampton Solent University, and local botanist Shaun Russell. In addition, Councillor Philip Dowd met with teacher Alison Ison and the School Council on 10th October to answer questions about the role of a councillor. The thoughtful and wide-ranging questions from children in Years 1 to 6 highlighted how important it is for young people to understand and engage with local democracy, helping prepare them to be active members of their community in the future. Hythe Primary School’s Eco Group outside The Grove Have you ever wondered what it would be like if your loved one could stay at home, safe, happy, and cared for every single day? For many families, the idea of home care is comforting, but visits a few times a day can leave gaps. Live-in Care changes that reality. Live-in Care means a trained professional lives in the home with your loved one. ey help with meals, personal care, and medication, but they do more than just tasks. ey provide companionship, reassurance, and someone to share daily life with. e same caring face every day brings consistency, reduces loneliness, and gives both the client and their family peace of mind. You might think short home care visits are enough. ey can help with basic needs, but what about the small moments that matter most? Who is there to notice when your loved one is feeling anxious, to celebrate a small achievement, or to simply sit and chat? Live-in Care lls these gaps. It creates a supportive environment that allows people to stay independent while feeling truly cared for. Live-in Care is exible and can be arranged for overnight, weekends, or long term support. Families get the help they need, and loved ones stay in the place they know and love. It is more than assistance—it is safety, dignity, and companionship all in one. If you care about your loved one’s comfort and happiness, Live-in Care is something worth talking about. Could this be the solution your family needs? Sometimes, the best care is the one that surrounds your loved one with attention, understanding, and heart every single day.
