WI Food Bank Collection
The WI will be collecting food, household goods and cash donations for New Forest Basics Bank on Saturday 1st April from 9 am to 12am on Milford on Sea Village Green.
If you can add a few things each week to your shopping list and then drop off on the day, this will really help people struggling in these tough times.
If you can help someone less fortunate, please do.
----------------------------------------------
The Basics Bank offers non-perishable food items, personal hygiene items, and basic household essentials. The food parcels have sufficient supplies for one week for one person and is increased to cover the number of family members for which a request is made.
There are many reasons why people may find themselves needing the support of a food bank. For example when the main earner in the household looses their job, a medical condition, a change in personal circumstances or a large unforeseen bill that leaves inadequate or no money for food. All parcels are a stop gap to support clients through troubled times.
Find out more about the good work the Basics Bank does in providing food and other essentials for local people in need. Please click here.

Meet The Butchers on the Green
Butchers on the Green in Milford on Sea is known not just for its fresh meat cut and joints and easy to cook pre-prepared meals, but also much more, and of course their friendly service.
Meet the two men behind making this village butchers such a success:
Keith Potter: Keith has been enjoying the south coast for around 30 years. In this time he has had a number of successful butchers shops in the surrounding areas including Southbourne and Pennington.
He prides himself on providing great customer service and ensuring every customer that walks through the door gets an unique pleasurable shopping experience each and every time. However be warned that some of his jokes are eye rolling bad but he makes up for that on being able to hold a note pretty well if you are lucky enough to be serenaded by him whilst you are perusing the vast range of meats available.
Alex Farr: Alex has around 17 years experience in the industry and has spent time developing flavours and ingredients that butcher use internationally to this day.
In his time he has visited a lot of butchers, both independent and mass production sites to identify what it takes to be successful in this industry, his mind comes up with the most unusual flavour combinations that he enjoys showcasing in his displays, and in sausages (his most recent is a margarita pizza flavoured sausage) they all seem to work and are enjoyed by (pretty much) everyone that tries them!
He also spent time demonstrating BBQ cooking techniques showcasing how to BBQ to beginners and enthusiasts.
The guys commented: “We are proud to be part of this community and are looking forward to serving the residents of Milford on Sea for many years to come.”

Safety Barriers installed on Seafront
The promenade in front of the beach huts in Milford on Sea now has a safety barrier to prevent anyone falling over the previously exposed edge.
The level of the beach in this area is ever changing, and the shingle shifts on a regular basis creating a significant and potentially dangerous drop. At present the drop is not too dramatic, but this will change at any time.
When the beach is replenished by the import of truck loads of shingle, it does not take long for the tides to take the stones down the coast to Hurst Spit.
The current beach huts on Milford on Sea seafront were completed in May 2017, This was three years after the 80mph+ winds tore down the original beach huts in the infamous Valentine's Day Storm in 2014.
