and others have come through var­ ious parts of the mental health system - all need professional care in secure surroundings. But trust managers say there is


no need for any concern - and if the unit gets more patients, there will be more staff too. As we reported last autumn, a


rise in injuries caused by residents to staff resulted in concern all round and the Calderstones NHS Trust devised a strategy to min­


imise them. But the trust does have long­

Adventure beckons for Sean


TEENAGER Sean Gallagher is the envy of friends and family as he pre­ pares to take time out in New Zealand. Sean (18), the son of Mr and Mrs Chris


and Glenys Gallagher, of Herris's Farm, Grindleton, has been accepted for a GAP Activity Project which will take him to New Zealand for 12 months from August, teaching sports in schools. A pupil at Queen Elizabeth's Grammar


School, Blackburn, Sean applied for the project, never dreaming that not only would he be accepted, but that the organ­ isers would want him to go out so soon. Now he is busy working hard to raise the £2,000 he will need - the bulk of which


will go towards his fare. He has spent his weekends working at


ground floor window and took various items of cos­ tume and conventional jew­ ellery, including £200 worth of ear-rings. Police are inves­ tigating and this week were searching for the car, the reg­ istration number of which was obtained by someone who saw it being driven off.
