A N E A R L Y RISE TO HELP LOCAL JOBLESS BACK INTO WORK


C R O IS S A N T S and b a c o n t e a c a k e s g r e e te d em p lo y e rs from the Ribble Valley attending a breakfast presentation on a new initiative to help the


jobless back to work. Staff from Clilhoi-oe’s


JobCentre were up bright and early to greet their guests and. after coffee or fruit juice, details of Work


Trials were outlined. Work Trials have been


VIVIEN MEATH REPORTS


running for two years, but in s om e a r e a s h a v e experienced quite a low


take-up rate. Conse­ quently, acting manager Mrs Joan Spencer decided the time was right to raise awareness in the Kibble


Valley. Early morning guests


represented a wide range of businesses, from pro­ duction-based jobs to


ca te r in g , o f f ic e s and garages.


The scheme enables


employers to assess a per­ son’s suitability before d e c id in g w h eth er to employ them. A trial can last from one


to 15 w o rk in g days, depending on the job and t h e p r o s p e c l i v e employee’s experience, and is suitable for any full­


time permanent vacancy. T r ia ls a re fr e e o f charge, the person on trial


continuing to receive hc»nefit throughout the period and out-of-pocket expenses, such as lunches and travelling costs, which


are initially met by the employer, hut reimbursed by the JobCentre. Already, eight people


from the Clitheroe prem­ ises have taken part in Work Trials and six have found iolw through the


scheme. The guests were told


that, if a work trial proved satisfactory and the job was offered but refused,


the candidate would not necessarily lose benefit. The scheme was voluntary and had been launched in a bid to help people who were at a disadvantage when it came to returning to work in the labour mar­ ket. Applicants must have been unemployed for six


months or more and be in


receipt of benefit. During questions, Mr


Malcolm Weaving, propri­ etor of the Stirk House Hotel, Gisburn, said that, in his experience, the time factor involved in advising


the JobCentre of general vacancies and suitable


candidates being referred was often too long. Conse­ quently, many employers found it easier and quicker to a d v e r t is e d ire c t ly through the newspaper. “ There is too much red tape,” he added. In reply, he was told


that the current staff at C l i th e r o e w o re s t i l l responsible for benefit and


the labour market. From October, the Benefits


Agency would be taking over, leaving the eight staff, full time and part time, to concentrate on the employment market. Mr W e a v in g a sk e<


whether the centre would consider a campaign for businesses, such as his own, to encourage the over-f>0s to return to work, both full time and


part time. “ They often think they are on the sera-


pheap when they reach 50,


but they have a lot to offer. We do want to know them,” stressed the hotel’s new owner. A n y em p lo y e r s or


unemployed person wish­ ing to know more about Work Trials should contact Clitheroe JobCentre. P ic tu red ( l e f t ) are


representatives from local businesses and industry with staff during the pre­ sentation. (CAT 1258)

Castle survey


VISITORS to Clitheroe Castle will be asked to take part in a survey to aid Ribble Valley Borough Council’s lottery bid. From tomorrow, for the


next seven days, people using the castle and its grounds will be asked why they are there and where they are from. The aim is to find out how many people use the


.facilities between 10 a.m. ‘and 8 p.m, for what pur­ pose and whether they are ioeals or visitors.


W H A L L E Y school pupil Deborah Schofield was just one o f the many youngsters being .shown the ropes on the climbing wall at Clitheroe’s Rocfield Leisure Centre.


The tO-year-oId was put through her paces as


part o f the KocHetd Summer Camp, a six-week activity programme for Kibble Valley youngsters on holiday.


The scheme’s co-ordinator. Miss Catherine


Creig, said: “ The youngsters think it is fabulous. It is definitely something that will keep them busy and fit during the summer.’ ’


Dozens o f activities have been laid on for them,


including swimming, basketball, baseball, netball, treasure hunts, rounders and daneing.


The scheme is open to children aged between five and 13. It runs until August 30th. (CAT 137-1).

f o r w om e n ’s g r o u p A W O M E N ’S group which closed its doors in the spring has found


n e w s a b o u t


a new lease o f life. For there lias now been


an official amalgamation between Clitheroe Eve­ ning Townswomen’s Guild and its surviving sister group — Clitheroe After- n o o n T o w n s w o m e n ’ s Guild.


Members o f the old


evening group were wel­ comed to the afternoon group's August tea party, when chairman Mrs Eve­ lyn Spain announced the


t h e


amalgamation. Meanwhile, a scrapbook


o f the Evening Guild’s past activities, together with its chairman’s chain


of office, is to be displayed at Clitheroe Museum.


During the tea party,


the Sutcliffe School of Dancers gave a varied programme, from ballet to tap and disco dancing.


The energy and enthusi­


asm of the dancers, whose ages nuiged from four to tiie late teens, was very much appreciated by the audience.
