Among the group was Mr Mike Walker, from the Cancer Research Campaign, in Manchester, and Mrs Sandra Fletcher, from White Hill House, officially started the walk.

Crossroads looks forward to a year of celebrations


MANY members and friends attended the annual meeting of Ribble Valley Crossroads, a local organisation which


“Cares for Carers”. The meeting was hosted and chaired in the


borough council chamber by Coun. Jenny Grimes, Mayor of the Ribble Valley. Retiring chairman the Rev. Quentin Wilson


paid tribute to the high standards and dedica­ tion of the care attendants who go into many varied family situations to support carers and give them a well-earned break. He also thanked the people of the Ribble Valley whose support and enthusiasm has enabled Crossroads to develop the service throughout the area. Dr Mike Smith, of Clitheroe, has been


appointed chairman for the oncoming year. He said: “I value the work being done to support carers and I feel privileged to have been invited


to steer the Management Committee and Crossroads staff into our 10th anniversary year. I look forward to a year of celebration as we continue to offer respite and support to many carers who live in the Ribble Valley.” Over the past year, Crossroads has provided a


range of services to 87 different families and given respite to more than 100 carers. Mrs Sue Siddall from the organisation said: “I am grateful to all the organisations and agencies who give financial support, both statutory and voluntary. I hope that the level of funding can continue so Cross­ roads can continue to offer similar service in the future.” The meeting closed with an entertaining talk by Coun. Grimes about working with the elderly support unit at Park Lee, and motivation in par­ ticular. Copies of the annual report are available from Mrs Siddall on 01200 422104.
