DID you know that over 800,000 has been raised
for the redevelopment of St Bridgets Community

gather the last 150,000. Weve got a big feature
on the plans in this issue and details of how to
make a contribution.
Weve got more on this, as well as stories from

It was Mies van der Rohe who adoped hephrase Less is More when used in designand archiecure. Along wih Le Corbusierand Waler Gropius hey waned o sripback archiecure and design o he basics,Concree, seel, and glass were he skin andbones exposed. Many people will recogniseMies van der Rohes Barcelona chair or heWassily chair by Marcel Breuer.
Minimalism and he Bauhaus Movemenwere he way or 20h cenury archiecs anddesigners o make heir saemen. I meanaking good qualiy maerials and creaing
somehing which did no have o be overlydressed, bu really an inerior and buildingand landscape ha worked in harmony.
Te ruly sriking poin o Minimalism isha you appreciae he orm and maerial. Isno abou he quaniy o wha you have in aroom, more he qualiy. In more recen yearsMinimalism has been hijacked as a erm omean devoid o colour, shape and design.
I is worh spending ou on 1 or 2 key pieces
which will really sand he es o ime. Ialways sugges good qualiy lighfings asessenial. A saemen piece o urniure,wheher i is by shape or abric can also addineres. Balancing a room isn always easyi you don wan o have oo much in i : buwhen you do ge i righ here is a eeling oharmony and no empiness.
Te Ochre chandelier may be a bi expensive

If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind? - Percy Bysshe Shelley
GET YOUR FREE MONEY
FROM THE GOVERNMENT!
Financial column with Simon utton, rom the Hadlow Edwards Partnership
GOVERNMENs over the lat50 year have encouraged u toave toward our own retirementand be le dependant on thetate by way o incentive inthe way o penion tax relie
Tere are retriction on theamount you can beneft andthi ha changed on numer-ou occaion over theyear and i due to changeagain next April.
Te way relie is granteddepends on how you payyour pension. I you are a
member o an employerscheme at work any pensioncontribution is usually takenrom your salary beore youpay tax and National Insur-ance which means that theamount o your taxable pay isreduced by the level o contribu-tion you have paid.
I you have no company pensionscheme or are sel employed youwill usually have a personal pension plan and tax re-lie is provided by a top up to your contributions. Forexample i you are personally paying 100 per monthby direct debit the amount that would be credited toyour pension scheme would be 125.
I you are a higher rate tax payer then you couldclaim another 25 o tax relie by way o a reundrom Her Majestys Revenue and Customs (HMRC)
which works out as an equivalentincrease in your contributions o
67%. Higher rate tax payers need tobe especially careul to make surethey reclaim the overpayment asHMRC will not automatically payit back.
Some large companies runschemes known as Salary Sacri-ce where employees can giveup some o their wages to makeadditional payments to theirpension scheme. Tis is a very taxecient way o increasing yourpension savings as in addition tothe tax relie you can also save
on National Insurance pay-ments. Small companies can runsimilar schemes or employees orDirectors and i you have an op-portunity to consider this optionor would wish to set a pensionscheme up or your own busi-ness you would be well advised
to look at a Salary Sacrice scheme.
ax relie is one o the ew ways we can get reemoney rom the state and it is well worth takingull advantage o this benet. For example saving300 per month to a pension with 20% tax reliewould mean that over 25 years you would have saved112,500 at a cost o 90,000.
Interest or growth on this additional sum over 25years can boost the saving even urther and make thediference between a comortable retirement and astruggle.
