A special appeal


by Natalie Cox


CHRISTMAS is coming. For many families the focus of. the festive season is the giving and receiving of pre­


sents. But for some, finding the extra money


needed to buy festive treats is a burden too


much to bear. In Clitheroe, as elsewhere, there are


babies, toddlers and teenagers whose parents simply cannot afford to spend money on pro­ viding gifts to go under the tree. But this year, in a bid to bring a little


Christmas cheer to some of these families the Clitheroe Advertiser and Times has teamed up with the local branch of the Sal­ vation Army to launch a Toy Appeal. We want readers to donate new toys and


gifts suitable for youngsters of all ages, from birth to 14 years, which will be handed out. via the Salvation Army. The church will work in conjunction with local agencies to identify those most in need. By giving a toy, a CD, a pack of nail var-


-nish, hair accessories or gift tokens, you could help bring a smile to the face of a youngster who may otherwise have had nothing. Help us light up a child’s Christmas. Local Salvation Army leader Capt. Eliza­


beth Smith said; “We have been in CUtheroe for just oyer a year and in that time we have discovered that there are families in need. “Last year we gave toys to children who


would have had absolutely nothing had we not provided them with gifts and food parcels. Without these donations they would have had very little at Christmas and what we gave certainly made a difference to them.” This year, for the first time, the CUtheroe


Advertiser and Times has teamed up with the Salvation Army to organise a Toy Appeal.

and other gifts in Clitheroe can take them along to the Salvation Army’s base in Low­ ergate on Tuesday afternoons between 1 and 6 p.m. and on Friday mornings from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. until December 10th. Said Capt. Smith: “This is the first time


this appeal has been run in conjunction mth the Clitheroe Advertiser and Times. Fami- Ues have been suppUed with toys in the past, but this is the first time we have joined forces with the local newspaper and started an


appeal. “I t is a great thing for us to be working


with the newspaper, making people aware of what is happening. The people of Clithetoe are really kind and generous and whenever we have made an appeal we do know they


will support us. Lt Brenda Wise added: “This year we


have provided food for people who cannot afford to buy groceries for themselves and their families throughout the year so there will certainly be no spare money at Christ­ mas to provide for their children.” Helping them by taking part in our Toy


Appeals simple. TOien you are out and about in the Kibble


Valley doing your Christmas shopping why not buy an extra present and take it along to the Salvation Army - it really could make a big difference to someone.

A SERIES of handwashing sessions for clients at Calderstones NHS 'Trust will take place in the run-up to Christmas to improve personal hygiene and raise awareness about the spread of germs. To highlight how easily infection can


spread with poor handwashing, an invisi­ ble dye will be put on some of the clients’. hands that can only show up under ultra


violet light. Clients will then be asked to wash and


dry their hands and then shake hands with people who in turn will put their hands under ultra iriolet light to expose


the dye.Following the sessions, clients wili be


asked to become handwashing bug busters and watch out for people not washings their hands properly. A poster competition has also been launched and clients have been asked to be at their most creative and design posters that show bugs and the importance of handw^hing. Josephine Raw, healthcare facilitator,


said: “Correct handwashing is one of the most effective ways of controlling the spread of infection and one of the easiest ways to teach clients about improving hygiene. We will be running 12 sessions before Christmas and asking clients not only to wash their hands properly hut to encourage others to do so as well.”

LAND grazed by horses will be eligible for payment under the Common Agricultural Pol- icy’s new Single Payment


Scheme. This announcement was


made by Government Minister


Alun Michael. Speakng after the annotince-


ment, the DEFRA Minister said: "This is good news for the horse industry and demon- strates the Government's com­ mitment to boost the role of the horse in British society. “Horses provide healthy recreation for people of all ages


and abilities; they are an inte­ gral part of our traditional landscape and make an impor­ tant contribution to the rural


economy. "It is not only traditional


farmland grazed by horses that is potentially eligible.


“It is any land provided it is


kept in good agricultural and environmental condition and is not used for a non-agricultural


purpose. So, for example, racecourses,


gallops and showjumping courses, where the main use is recreational, are excluded.
