good this year, the QUEST Specialist Smok ing Cessation Service is gearing itself up to sup port smokers in Ribble Valley and Hyndbum. Research shows that
most smokers want to stop smoking, but don't know who can help. I t kills around 106,000 peo ple in the UK every year - this is more than 300 people every day. The death toll from
smoking can be com pared to a plane crashing and killing all its passen gers each and every day for a year. QUEST- “QuitUsing
Expert Specialist Team” - is a specialist smoking cessation service and works across East Lan cashire - in Hyndburn, the Ribble Valley and Blackburn with Darwen. The team is managed

exceptionally high “quit rate” of 78%, compared to the national average of 23%, and achieved a sig nificant degree of success that contributed to its employing organisation - Hyndburn and Ribble Valley Primary Care Trust (PCT) - achieving three stars in the annual NHS Star Rating. Two typical stories are

up. Tony felt controlled by
smoking but knew the risks to his health. They had both seen the QUEST posters dis played at their doctor's
surgery. Having used the ser
vice, although they felt nervous and unsure they both felt a great sense of relief - particularly because the support they received to stop smoking wasn't judgmental, and instead focused on aware
deal of specialist help in a one-to-one situation as well as in groups. Howev er, the biggest source of help is those who have managed to stop smok ing and those who are trying to stop smoking" Tony agreed: "The
stop-smoking sessions are very understandable and accessible. They are for everyone and they are only a phone call away. What’s more, I felt that staff understood what I was going through. There was no pressure - just encouragement to stop" Derek added: "The
one-to-one sessions are very friendly and relaxed and the staff treat you as an individual, they are
confident and their confi dence and support gave me the courage to not just give up smoking, but deal with the stress that was the cause behind the smoking in the first place. My life has really changed for the better" Now Derek and Tony
are both looking forward to a smoke-free New Year. If you need to get help
from QUEST, you can contact the service on 01254 358095. However you do not
need to book a place, you can just turn up. There are weekly group sessions in Clitheroe, Whalley, Accrington, Darwen, Oswaldtwistle, and Blackburn. You can ring the number above to find out times and places. You can also be
referred by your GP, but you can also refer your self. Just turn up to the group and find out more. Details are also available on the Hyndburn and Ribble Valley PCT web site on the following -

ON a clear, sunny, crisp December day 11 members of Clitheroe Ram blers met for a walk in the Sabden
area. The walk started from the
recently-surfaced parking area on the Clitheroe road and followed well-defined tracks up to Deer- stones then on to Spence Moor. Very boggy conditions underfoot had been greatly improved by the
hard overnight frost although care was needed on patches of ice. Fine views were enjoyed towards the dis tant snow-topped Pennines, with Pen-y-Ghent eventually being visi ble on the horizon before being lost to view behind a wood of fir trees. The walk continued downhill to
Newchurch-in-Pendle where follow ing a visit to the witches’ shop and a photocall with some snowmen.
lunch was enjoyed on the seats in the churchyard in surprisingly
warm sunlight. After lunch the walk continued
along the Pendle Way and then on footpaths following the edge of the Sabden valley to Dean Farm, before crossing the fields, climbing to Churn Clough reservoir and re tracing part of the original route to return to the waiting cars, (s)
