CONGREGATION members at a Clitheroe church heard at first­ hand about the local Muslim com­ munity’s hopes for a place of wor­ ship and community partnership centre in the town. At the invitation of Canon Rod­


the church agreed that there were major differences between the two faiths, but Mr Arshad believed that there was more that followers of each faith could hold in common about their approach to life. He stayed for the rest of the service, which followed the Christ


the King Sunday theme, and then accompanied Canon Nicholson to his second service at Chatbum. Our picture shows, from the left,

Big Sam’s stand against bullying


SOME fo o tb a l l managers might employ “bully-boy” tac­ tics, but not Bolton Wanderers boss “Big Sam” Allardyce (pic­ tured). He and his Premier League club


have teamed up with Clitheroe- based schoolwear manufacturer Trutex to raise awareness of the damage bullying can cause and of the help that is available. During last weekend’s home


game against Arsenal, 30 ball boys and girls wore T-shirts supplied by Trutex and promoting a website


(www.gethelpwithbullying.org.uk) which offers help and advice for those affected by bull3dng. The tie-in between Bolton Wan­


derers and Trutex marked the cli­ max of national Anti-Bullying Week 2006, which ran from November 20th to 24th. Sam Allardyce showed his support for the campaign by wearing a limited edition pin badge endorsing the Anti-Bullying Alliance, the organi­ sation which aims to reduce bully­


ing and create safe environments in which children and young people can live, grow, play and learn. Trutex, in-conjunction with the


Anti-Bullying Alliance, has also produced a limited edition lanyard, which is being given out to school- children across the UK. It can be attached to bags, mobiles and pen­ cil cases and can also be used as a key ring. The Alliance’ anti-bully­ ing website is featured on the lan­ yard as well as the T-shirts worn


during the football match. Commenting on the partnership,


Trutex marketing director Clare Rix said: “This was a.fantastic opportunity for both Trutex and the Wanderers to demonstrate our commitment to supporting such an important campaign. Wanderers’ boss Sam added:


“Anti-Bullying Week encourages us all to come together to focus on defeating bullying. We must sup­ port children and young people to have the confidence to speak out against bullies.” As the first official sponsor of


Anti-Bullying Week, Trutex and the Anti-Bullying Alliance have already introduced a national poster campaign, where schools, the voluntary sector and others were invited to enter posters designed by children and young people into a competition to be this year’s Anti-Bullying Week poster. The winning posters have now been produced and displayed by all


schools to promote Anti-Bullying Week.

of the appeal to go, we still need your help! As in the previous two


years, the Clitheroe Adver­ tiser and the Salvation Army have teamed up to bring hope and help to some Ribble Valley families who find the festive season a really trying time. For them, finding the


extra finances to provide presents is extremely diffi­ cult and no parent wants to see their child disappointed, particularly on Christmas Day. In the past two years the


people of the Ribble Valley have rallied to the cause, supplying fantastic gifts suitable for children of all ages, from babes in arms to


“Trying to define how O


these families feel at Christ­ mas is difficult,” said Capt. Elizabeth Smith, of The Salvation Army, Clitheroe. “Week by week they

struggle to make ends meet, so Christmas is an added burden, especially because little children do not understand the situa­ tion fully. That is why they rely on the community sup­ porting them over the fes­ tive period. The Toy Appeal really does help bring smiles to children’s faces and we have the proof from parents that what your readers do really does make a differ­ ence.” Support agencies can con­
