Trust’s annual report i s ‘easy read’ version


PEOPLE with learning disabilities can now find out moi'c about Calderstones NHS Trust, thanks to the first ever “easy •ead” version of its annual report. It is a shorter summary version of the


Whalley-based Trust’s main annual report for 2003/2004. I ts aim is to make the report easier to understand and it has been produced using simple words, pictures and


vibrant colours. Within the easy-read version there is a


description of the Trust, a review of the year highlights, a look at how the Trust is improving its services for patients and a preview of what is planned for the next 12


months. Christine Whalley, Nurse Director at


Calderstones NHS Trust, said: “Calder­ stones NHS Trust is committed to provid­ ing information about the Trust and the services we provide in a format that people with learning disabilities can read and understand. “The easy-read version of the annual


report provides an opportunity to let the people we care for know about the work and achievements of the Trust. “The people we care for have played an


important role in making this another year of improvements at the Trust and they deserve to be able to read about the valu­ able contributions they have made.” The easy-read annual report is available


on request and anybody who wants a copy can contact Kachel Taylor, PALS Officer, on 01254 821152.

Don’t count on people keeping their promises this week, particularly those you don’t know all that well. If the situation is important enough it will be better to get all agreements in writing and have them witnessed. Younger people can be demanding and are likely to be asking for the latest trendy gizmos and gadgets on the market. Don t give in if it doesn t make sense to you. and if pester power continues, suggest ways they can earn the extra casli to help pay for it themselves.

There is a restless feeling around you now that is hard to shake, but you can ease it a bit by being gentle with yourself and looking after your health. So often your attention goes to other people or work projects and you overlook your own needs. Make a special place for yourself if you don’t already have one and fill it with things you love like artwork, books, pleasant fabrics and aromas. Having a private retreat ready to welcome you at the end of the day helps keep a stress- inducing world at bay.

Clitheroe Advertiser & Times, January 6th, 2005 5 Countdown to Scout group debut by Duncan Smith


m o n t h s of planning and a series of special “taster” events have culminated in the establishment of the 1st


Clitheroe Scout Group. The new group, which will


have its first meeting next Tues­ day, January 11th, is a joint venture between the Clitheroe Scout District and Clitheroe’s Medina Islamic Education Centre. Several local children from


Muslim, Christian and non­ faith backgrounds have already been recruited through the suc­ cessful taster events. The move comes as both


Clitheroe Scout District and MIEC collectively reaffirmed the commitment of their organ­ isations to providing better opportunities for local youth. Both groups have previously


expressed a strong desire to help Kibble Valley children from dif­ ferent race and faith back­ grounds to unite through play and activity and the formation of the new group is seen as a welcome realisation of those objectives. Earlier this year an initial


event was held at Trinity Com­ munity Centre, in Clitheroe, where members of Kibchester and Whalley Scout Groups wel­ comed Muslim children from the Clitheroe-based MIEC, an Islamic education centre which also works to encourage pro­ gressive ties between Muslims and the wider community. More taster sessions followed


in Kibchester and at Bowley Scout Camp, where the children got to know one another and took part in team building exer­


cises. The children enjoyed them­


selves thoroughly and expressed a desire to get involved in future


activities. Glen Fendall, District Com­


missioner for the Scouts in Clitheroe, worked with MIEC

Secretary Sheraz Arshad in set­ ting up the new group. He said: "When we say that


Scouting is open to all, we mean it. We actively promote the benefits of Scouting to every community regardless of age, colour, ability, economic background or religion. “In Scouting we are fortu­


nate in tha t we can provide common ground and shared values recognisable to all. Across East Lancashire we are working hard to actively pro­ mote diversity throughout our movement, the formation of this new group provides tangi­ ble evidence that we are mak­ ing progress." Mr Arshad said he hoped that getting children from dif­

Speaking about the new group, he said: "I'm pleased that all the hard work on the part of Clitheroe Scout District and MIEC staff has finally paid off and we now have a new group ready to meet. “I have a lot of respect for


the Scout movement and have been keen to get children from the Muslim community in the Kibble Valley to enlist. “By sponsoring the new


group and fielding adult mem­ bers of MIEC as leaders, I am confident that we will be able to get children from the Mus­

January 17th a t the Calf’s Head Hotel, Worston, when Fr


lim community to take part in Scouting, which has previously been difficult as members of our community have often wrongly thought of Scouting as something which is not tradi­ tionally open to them." The new group will be led by


Helen Varley, Mr Mohammed Sarfraz and Mrs Kehana Zaheer and will meet on Tues­ days at 6 p.m. The first meet­ ing is at 6 p.m. next Tuesday at the Scout and Guide HQ, in Lowergate, Clitheroe. People interested in enrolling


their children (aged seven to ID can obtain further informa­ tion and application forms from Sheraz Arshad on 01200 422035 or Simon Nanson on 01200 425885.


John Chaloner will be guest speaker. There is also a commit­ tee meeting on Monday at the Calf’s Head.
