Sprake & Tyrrell - Building your future
A Waveney Valley based building company, Sprake and Tyrrell Ltd is a family owned business which has been creating quality, stylish homes which live in harmony with their environment for more than 35 years.

Our roots are firmly established in traditional building skills which also encompass the latest techniques and modern technology with attention to detail and finish being our priorities.

As well as the many new homes we have constructed, including numerous projects for local housing associations, a large proportion of our work has been in the conversion of agricultural barns, and in 1997 we were awarded a commendation by the Civic Trust for our work on Old Hall Barsham for the quality and appearance of the work.


When requested to construct a property for a private home owner, consultation at the planning or building regulation stage is paramount before we undertake the build, thereby ensuring that your project - whatever the size is completed to the highest quality of workmanship to stand the test of time - a home to be proud of.

'Eco-friendly' builds
Nowadays many clients are requesting ‘eco-friendly’ builds be they from sustainable products or using the energy surrounding us for their future. All this is being taken on board and we are pleased to have produced two such builds in the area, one of which is featured in the new series of
Grand Designs.


We specialise in:
New Build, Conversions, Renovations, Extensions/alterations,
Community Projects, Factory units.


We are members of the Federation of Master Builders and NHBC.

StigmARTa
Michelle Payne is backing the StigmARTa exhibition because she has suffered depression, and with the support of the NHS and counselling was back on her feet within weeks. But it is always there, the fear she may fall down, because it was never expected. She is also an arts gallery owner, and many of her clients and exhibitors have been involved with mental health as the arts often touch on the subject in one way or another. Its hard to be involved, as mental health affects one in four.

Michelle says:'A close family member ridiculed me for having counselling. I was quite angry, then I realised it was simply a case of ignorance on their part. They haven't ever had face those issues, so why would they care or understand?. I am not afraid to go to counselling if I feel it is required, quite simply because when depression hit me, I didn't recognise it for what it was, and it was awful! much worse than people imagine. Who says these things out loud?'

Arts are used in the mental health service to bring confidence and voluntary communication back into the public life and work situations for mental health users.

Michelle Payne is linking up with CAMHS the children and adult mental health service to bring an arts show to the general public, helping to dispel the myths and stigmas that surround the word MENTAL, and those service users who suffer with depression, bipolar, Anxiety disorders, eating disorders and schizophrenia and personalty disorders.

The Upstairs Gallery has regular volunteers who suffer with panic attacks, confidence issues, disorders or who just want to get back into employment. The volunteers also understand what the gallery is supporting. Its owner Michelle Payne does not discriminate.

The exhibition preview nite is May 16th 7pm onwards. The Exhibition will continue May 16th - May 31st 2012

Prejudice and discrimination
People with mental health problems experience prejudice and discrimination in almost every aspect of their lives. Many have said the stigma of mental ill health is more disabling than the illness itself.

Research has shown that people with mental health problems are pre-judged, find it hard to get jobs and sustain friendships and relationships. Research has also shown that ignorance, fear, and stereotypes presented in the newspapers, on the TV and at the cinema, all contribute to negative attitudes towards mental ill health. Most people have little knowledge about mental illness and their opinions are often factually incorrect.

People with mental illness also get a worse deal from some NHS services offering care for physical health problems, and from travel, insurance and financial services.

More than 700 people with a diagnosis of schizophrenia in 27 different countries were interviewed as part of INDIGO (International Study of Discrimination and Stigma Outcomes), a research study carried out by the Institute of Psychiatry in collaboration with the World Psychiatric Association’s (WPA) Global Programme Against Stigma and Discrimination because of Schizophrenia.

47 per cent of those interviewed said they had found it hard to make or keep friends, 43 per cent said they had experienced discrimination from family members, 29 per cent in finding a job, 29 per cent in keeping a job and 27 per cent said had experienced discrimination in intimate or sexual relationships. 64 per cent said the anticipation of discrimination stopped them applying for work, training or education programmes and 55 per cent said it stopped them looking for a close relationship. 72 per cent of those interviewed said they felt the need to conceal their diagnosis.

People who have experienced psychosis may also feel discriminated against because of mental health law, which allows compulsory treatment. Side effects of medication – such as involuntary movements – may also make them feel set apart and seen as ‘different’.

Language used to describe mental ill health also contributes to discriminatory attitudes. Research carried out by the Institute of Psychiatry and the charity Rethink Mental Illness asked nearly 500 secondary school students to describe people with mental health problems. They came up with 250 different words and phrases, most of them derogatory and used as insults in the playground.

Share some of the experiences that service users go through, and share some of the understanding.

Beccles Cycle For Life 2012

The Rotary Club of Beccles, in association with Velo Club Baracchi, invites you to join us on May 13 2012, to raise funds for charity via a sponsored cycle ride. We are continuing the category of team riders for business and other social groups again in 2012. So why not join our single riders and family groups by getting a team together from your work, club, pub, to help make 2012 an even greater success than last year!


Free Prize Draw

Individual riders in the 2012 event who bank at least £20 in sponsorship by the required date (16 June 2012), will automatically be entered into a FREE PRIZE DRAW for a new bike worth £300, thanks to Norfolk and Suffolk Financial Services Ltd and Life Cycles.



Last Year's Event

The 2011 event proved to be a great success, with just under 400 riders. The total money distributed from the 2011 event was £7,660. This was shared equally between two charities. £3,830 went to East Anglian Air Ambulance, with the other £3,830 going to the Rotary Club of Beccles Charitable Trust. This fund is a charitable trust that has distributed a total of over £10,000 (as at July 2010), to support international disaster relief aid, Waveney Sailability and many other local charities and good causes.
