DID you know that one in five people are affected by depression at some stage in their life? And did you know up to
8.7 million cases in the UK are neither recognised nor treated. With this in mind, and
following on the heels of National Depression Week, Clitheroe’s Depres sion Alliance - part of a leading charity for people affected by the serious ill ness, has decided to go public for the first time. This step has been
taken in order to raise awareness of the lonely condition and fight the stigma th a t persists
around it. As depression .is one of
the most common medical conditions in Britain today, each year’s cam paign highlights a new and topical theme. This year’s campaign is
called “1 in 5” and it aims to provide much needed knowledge and help to suf
ferers. Therefore members of
the local support group
offer sympathy, a listening ear and moral support to sufferers - all of course in
extreme confidence. Formed nearly six years
ago, the organisation holds weekly meetings in very pleasant local premises lent by the Rib ble Valley Mental Health
Team. The group is aligned
with Depression Alliance London - the leading UK charity for people with
depression. The present group organiser has attended
courses, run by the chari ty, to ensure that the local organisation is run accord ing to their guidelines. . Anyone requiring fur

Primary school celebrates two award successes
A SCHOOL in Clitheroe has been pre sented with two of its recently won awards. Staff and children gathered in the
hall of St James’s School to receive their Investors in People plaque and Lan cashire Healthy Schools Programme Quality Mark Certificate. Mr Peter Scott, from the Learning
and Skills Council Lancashire, was on hand to present the plaque and head teacher Mr Paul Adnitt proudly dis played the certificate. Mr Scott said described how the
Investors in People Award recognises the school’s high training and people- development standards. He said: “The school receives a full-day inspection every three years and random inter views are conducted with everyone who has a role here.” This means everyone involved in the school, from catering and cleaning staff, to teachers and governors, can be exam ined. He added: “St James’s passed with flying colours.” . Instrumental in the Healthy Schools
award was teacher Mrs Sally Sharpe who is St James’s Healthy School’s Pro gramme co-ordinator. The scheme recognises the commit
ment to ensuring the emotional health and wellbeing of everyone connected
with the school, as well as the physical health of the pupils, which is being pro- moted by the current associated Healthy Eating Scheme.
Mr Adnitt said: “The Healthy
School’s Programme means that the children are involved in these awards as well as the staff.”
Failed business boss in court case
A FAILED businessman from the Ribble Valley has been dis qualified as a company director for seven years in the Black
burn County Court. David Paul Nottingham (49), of
Greenwood Farm, Bolton-by-Bow- land, was the director of a claims handling and accident repair man agement service company which failed with total debts estimated at around £551,000. The court heard that Mr Not

tingham was involved with several companies trading under various names. He was a director of Transport
Management Systems Limited, Fleetcare Limited, Wedded Bliss Limited and Transfinite Medical Solution Limited, all of which car ried on business from premises at TMS House in Bolton-by-Bow- land. He was also a director of Inter
claims Limited, which carried on business from premises at 1 Saint Chad’s Court, Rochdale, Lan cashire and Eros Dating Limited, which carried on business from Rose House, 2 The Limes, Rayleigh, Essex. Transport Management Systems Limited was placed into compulso

The failed company had an estimated total deficiency of £550,932. The Disqualification Order
made on April 15th, 2004, prevents Mr Nottingham from being a director of a company or, in any way, whether directly or indirectly, being concerned in or taking part in the promotion, formation or management of a company for seven years. Matters of unfit conduct, found
by the court, were that Mr Not tingham: 9 Knew, or should have known
