Thank you so much for your kind words. We’re incredibly proud to support Hempstead Valley Football Club and the Under 15s this season. It’s fantastic to see the hard work on and off the pitch paying off, and we’re delighted to have been able to play a small part in the team’s journey — including the China tour. Wishing everyone continued success for the rest of the season and beyond 💙⚽

As you will have seen this week, a sad and difficult decision has been taken to cancel Christmas lights across Medway.

In Rochester – the place where a five year old Charles Dickens fell in love with the ‘most wonderful time of the year’ – we CANNOT allow this to happen. The Christmas we all celebrate today is thanks to our associations with the ‘the man who reinvented Christmas’.

So, today The Rochester City Centre Forum has launched THE ROCHESTER CHRISTMAS LIGHTS LEGACY FUND - a crowdfunding initiative to ensure Rochester can give all of us a focal point at the time of ‘Goodwill To All’ for many years to come.

TIME IS SHORT! We have just TWO WEEKS to gather the money to:

1. Have the existing lighting put in place for this Christmas – and pay the running costs

2. To purchase additional festoon (that’s light strings across the road) and cross street lighting to provide a full coverage from end to end in Rochester High Street.

3. To provide a fund to extend and modernise the lighting provision, and maintain it into the future

ALL MONIES CONTRIBUTED WILL BE RING FENCED SOLEY FOR PROVIDING AND MAINTAINING THE CHRISTMAS LIGHTING IN ROCHESTER

The Rochester City Centre Forum will be kicking this off with a donation of £1,000.

Local organisations, businesses and residents are encouraged to make as generous a contribution as they can.

AND we want to encourage as many members of the public – whether you’re a local resident or a visitor who loves Rochester especially at Christmas time – to contribute whatever you can afford – from as little as ONE POUND!

ALL – and we do mean ALL – contributors will have the opportunity to have their involvement recognised on a ‘Board of Contributors’ so everyone visiting Rochester can see just how many of you are behind this.

So, it’s over to YOU. If you love Rochester, and want see the same sense of wonder on the faces of children in the same way that Charles Dickens felt over 200 years ago, please help us by contributing to the ROCHESTER CHRISTMAS LIGHTS LEGACY FUND.

Thank you for your generous support and please share this as far and wide as possible.

With best wishes
Castlerock Wealth Management.

To provide Christmas lights in Rochester this year, and to provide a fund to ensure 'The Home of Christmas' has lighting every year.

Time is running out! ⏰

Don’t let your tax allowances go to waste!

The April 5th is the end of the 2021/22 tax year with the case of many allowances being 'use it or lose it' 😱

Are you making the most of this year’s £20,000 allowance? If your over 18 an ISA is a great way of making your money work harder for you. Everything you earn from it is free of Income Tax, Capital Gains Tax and Dividend Tax – so you won’t pay tax on interest, withdrawals or profits.

ISAs are also a good way to start investing in stocks and shares because, as well as giving you all these tax benefits, they’re very simple.

Don't delay, make sure you use as much of this year’s £20,000 allowance as you can before its use-by date on 5 April 2022 – as you can’t carry it forwards.

There’s a little-known tax ‘sinkhole’ that could catch you unawares and leave you paying more tax than you need to.

Of course, you may feel comfortable with paying more tax than you need to, perhaps viewing it as a philanthropic measure during difficult times for the country. But if you would prefer not to do that, there’s almost always some action you can take to avoid or reduce the impact of tax sinkholes such as the 60% tax trap.




The levels and bases of taxation, and reliefs from taxation, can change at any time and are generally dependent on individual circumstances.

Although investing poses risks, not investing also can be a risk to your financial future.

The key is finding balance – taking on an appropriate amount of risk to ensure you have enough growth potential to reach your long-term goals.

Are you the kind of person who leaves things until the last minute? ⏰

Even if that’s only occasionally the case, you might not already have taken full advantage of the tax reliefs and allowances available to you during the current tax year. 📅

Remember: it’s important to take action before their use-by date of 5 April 2022 – the end of the current tax year – as in many cases it’s ‘use it or lose it’.

The value of an investment may fall as well as rise. You may get back less than the amount initially invested. If the income taken exceeds the growth on the Plan, the capital will be eroded.
