Why you need a Will!Writing a Will is essential, however few people get around to doing it. In fact, over 75% of adults in the UK die without a Will.
A Will is often thought of as just the place where one distributes ones assets after death, but a Will also has a very important role to play, particularly for all parents with young children and especially for those who are not married.
Your Will is the appropriate place to appoint Guardians for your children in the event of both parents dying. If this is not done it may be down to the Courts to decide who your children will live with. It is also the place to ensure the fi nancial needs of both your children and the appointed Guardians. Trust Funds can be set up in your Will and used for the benefi t of your children. In your Will you also name the Trustees who are going to administer these funds.
Shortland and Sawbridge are a family business and are members of The Institute of Professional Will Writers. We specialise in writing Wills for people with young children. We are happy to provide you with more information on telephone 020 8397 5176 or email [email protected]
A special discount is available to readers of The Family Grapevine. If you mention this article when making your appointment we will write your Will for the special price of just £140 each or £160 for a pair.

The long long summer holidays are nearly here. Below are our top tips for survival.
PlanMake a wall planner chart to cover the whole 6-8 weeks of sum-mer. Remember you don’t have to be doing something every minute of the day, it is good for kids have to fi nd ways to amuse themselves.
Get food inMake sure you have plenty of your kids’ favourite food and drinks. This will save the trauma of having to take children round the supermarket in hot weather.
Saving moneyThe holidays can be expensive so challenge your children to come up with ways to spend an hour, a morning or a day without spending any money.
When you go out agree the limit to spend on everything from entrance fees to ice creams. Not only will you save money you’ll also teach your kids the value of money.
The National Trust website is a great resource to fi nd places to visit in your area or see the wha’ts on guide in this magazine. There are lots of free things to do. Kingston First runs this sum-mer (see the ad on page 3)
Emergency EntertainmentTry to keep a kit available for long road trips or rainy days indoors.
This needn’t cost the earth - you can usually stock up on staple items like stationary, felt tips and art books at your local discount shop.
Organise play datesIf you have friends or family with children around the same age, taking it in turns to arrange play dates will mean social interaction for the kids, and a little well-earned ‘me time’ for you.
CookingA quarter of parents said that cooking is their ideal way of spend-ing time with the family. Challenge your kids to make recipes using just your kitchen cupboard staples.
SquabblesSome parents say that arguments in the family are what they dread most about the holidays. If that’s true for you too, take a moment to think about what it is that seems to spark off your children. Is it boredom? Is it jealousy? Is it your attention? Strong feelings can arrive in all of us without being able to stop them, but we can do something about the behaviour that feeling causes. Say-ing something like "It’s OK to feel angry, but it’s not OK to hit your brother" reminds your children of the distinction between emotion and behaviour, and will help them deal with diffi cult feelings.
Enjoy! Enjoy the time with your children. Do things you wouldn’t normally do. Spend time playing with them. Holidays with your children while they are young are precious make the most of it.

Ballet’s not just for girls, says local ballet teacher Jessica Williams who has started special ‘Boys Only Ballet’ classes for 3.5 - 9 year olds. “Boys can often lose out on the chance to dance because traditional ballet classes can get too easily dominated by pink, fairies and tutus. I aim to give boys the opportunity to come together and learn ballet in a fun and relaxed environment. I have carefully selected the music, popular boys’ themes and stories. I also use a lot props and pictures in my classes to inspire and capture children’s imagination.”
Jessica, who trained a The Royal Ballet School, also runs ‘Twinkle Toes Ballet’ and provides classes for babies, toddlers and children in Richmond, Putney and surrounding areas.
For more information on ‘Boys Only Ballet’ contact: [email protected]

COME ALONG AND JOIN THE FUN, AT THE LITTLE GYMThe Little Gym runs weekly, curriculum-based, gymnastics
classes for children from 4 months to 12 years of age. Located in Hampton
Hill which is 2 minutes from Teddington, the gym provides a safe, colourful
haven where children can gain confi dence in a non-competitive environment,
with close guidance and encouragement from highly trained and friendly
instructors. Our tailored classes help children get the most from every stage
of their development; they promote co-ordination, balance, rhythm and
fl exibility, as well as an opportunity to let off steam, make new friends and
have lots of FUN!
Our classes allow each child to grow their skills at their own pace. They
combine gymnastics, music and games and provide a personalised learning
experience that evolves week-by-week. Throughout the programme,
parents are kept abreast of their child’s individual progress. Whilst grown-
ups accompany the under 3’s, parents of older children can spectate from a
comfortable viewing lobby.
We offer a free introductory class, so that parents have an opportunity to see
the delight in their child, as they achieve there fi rst Monkey Jump or Forward
role. Classes are held throughout the day, all year round; from Monday to
Saturday. Under 3’s classes run for 45 minutes and preschool and primary
classes for one hour. The Little Gym also provides children’s parties and fully
OFSTED approved holiday camps.
The Little gym offer (OFSTED approved)
summer camps throughout the holidays.
3 hours of fun packed gymnastic based
activities, games, arts and crafts and
most importantly lots of FUN.
