PLUMBING and heating firm Calder Services of Whalley has donated 13 sets of "big book- learning aids to primary schools in the Ribble Valley. The books: "Peter the Plumber
rescues mum and dad from a flood" and "Hot Water, Cool Gas" are both designed to interest young children in the world of plumbing at an early age. Aimed a t Key Stage 1 and 2
children, the books reflect almost two years of consultation and development by a partnership
between a number of associations representing the plumbing indus try and various educational bod ies to help bridge the gap between education and industry. Craig Nicholls, business devel
opment manager of Calder Ser vices, said: “The current skills cri sis in our industry is a major con cern and we are finding it very dif ficult to recruit the right calibre of tradesmen due to a shortage of school leavers pursuing trade careers. We believe that this is a problem that is best tackled at an
early age and hope that the books we have donated will help raise awareness of our industry among young children while also helping
them improve their basic literacy skills.” In the first book Key Stage 1,
children are introduced to Peter the Plumber as he is called to res cue a family when their tap bursts and floods the house. Having tried out the books over the last couple of weeks, many of the schools involved have commented on both the effectiveness of the books as a
