ANOTHER faith-explaining Alpha course in Whalley is welcomed by the local vicar, the Rev. Chris Sterry. Writing in the magazine of

A communi ty-based Clitheroe Arts Centre can provide a platform for all of this. It can inspire. And it can be the starting point for activities which will continue to enrich people's lives. The Clitheroe project is based on a
belief in the value of Arts and culture in their widest interpretation. There
are no certain outcomes, but we have to believe and to convince others that their lives can be made better by what the Centre will have to offer. I hope this piece provides some argument for that.
