Vital work needs still support to continue
THE work of charity Sue Ryder Care was outlined to Rotary Club of Clitheroe mem bers. Guest speaker was
Louise Barrett, local fund raiser for Sue Ryder Care, whose vitality and com mitment were evident from the start. A quick straw poll of
those a t the meeting showed that their knowl edge of Sue Ryder and its work was limited, but they quickly learnt that its influences are world wide, not ju s t about a small shop in a Clitheroe side street collecting for charity. Sue Ryder was born in
Leeds in 1923 and brought up in a caring environ ment which introduced her to the world of chari table works. During the Second World War she worked for the Secret Operations Executive in Poland and witnessed at first hand the devastation and appalling human suf fering. Inspired to act, she se t up the Sue Ryder Foundation and her fami ly home became the first Sue Ryder Home. Lady Ryder of Warsaw,
as she later became, had a charismatic way of obtaining what she needed to carry on her work, so proper ty and facilities were donated in the early years. Sue Ryder Care now
provides a range of spe cialist palliative and neu rological care services. These cover brain injury, Multiple Sclerosis, Hunt ington’s Disease, stroke, dementia and cancer. Louise talked through
one or two scenarios which demonstrated how the support the charity pro vides is for the whole fam ily and helps them to lead a normal life. The Sue Ryder homes
provide activities and try to make the important things to their clients pri orities in their care pro gramme.
Raiders stole £2,500 cash
RAIDERS who forced their way into a bungalow in Mellor Brook escaped with £2,500 in cash. Once inside, the offend
ers made a search of the property in Higher Com mons Lane and made off unseen with the money. Police investigations are
continuing into the break- in, which occurred between 5-30 p.m. on Sat urday and 11-30 a.m. on Sunday.
One of their clients was
a shepherd and it was not family he was missing, but his sheep, so a visit by the flock was organised! The work of Sue Ryder
goes on internationally and nationally, including projects in Africa and a jointly run study course with Nottingham Univer sity on palliative care, called “End of Life Stud ies”. All this costs and their target is to raise £100,000
per year. Louise made an appeal not for funding, but for the likes of Rotary to raise awareness of the work that Sue Ryder Care is involved in, and to see if anyone had talents or time they could volunteer. Anyone wanting to get
involved with the charity and its work can tele phone 020 7400 0440 or visit the charity’s online website on; (

coldest temperature of -27.2C, recorded at Braemer in Scotland in 1947, that doesn't mean you should be complacent this year. Cold weather and serious ill ness are directly linked. Did you know that in the average winter at least 20,000 people die as a result of the cold weath er? The number of heart attacks, strokes and deaths due to respiratory disease all rise following a fall in temperature. Flu is prevalent over the winter
months and adults and children with serious diseases or long-term conditions, as well as all older people, are particular ly at risk of serious complications. These can lead to hospitalisation and even death. By thinking ahead and taking simple steps now, you can boost your phanfPK of staying well this cold season. Here are some top tips for keeping
warm and healthy this winter 1. Keep flu at bay with a jab. If you are
65 or older, or if you are of any age (including children over six months) and have a serious heart or chest complaint (including asthma), serious kidney or liver disease, diabetes, lowered immunity due to disease or treatment, Multiple Sclerosis or other degenerative condi tions of the central nervous system or have had a stroke/TI A, you are at risk of
flu. If you are at risk, you're entitled to a
free flu jab. The jab cannot give you flu, but it can help keep you healthy. It lasts for up to 12 months and as the flu virus constantly changes, you need a new jab each year. The best time to get vaccinat- ed is in the autumn. If you are 65 or over or in an at-risk
group, contact your local GP to book yourself in for a free flu jab. Alternative ly, ask your local pharmacist. Your GP may also offer you the pneumo jab to protect you against serious forms of pneumococcal infection. 2. Plan ahead to keep your house warm .Check your heating system is working

properly and serviced at least once a year. Some gas or electricity suppliers offer free safety checks. Fit draught proofing and insulate your walls and attic space. The Warm Front Scheme gives grants
to make homes warmer and more ener gy-efficient. You may qualify if you own your own home or rent it from a private landlord, and you receive disability ben efit or an income-related benefit like Pension Credit, Income Support or Dis ability Living Allowance. Call 0800 072
0151 Winter fuel payments are made by the
Government to people aged 60 and over. They're paid automatically if you are in receipt of a State Pension or other social security benefit. 3. Keep your home warm. If you can,
keep a temperature of 210C (700F) in all the rooms you use during the day. If this is not possible, keep your living room warm during the day and heat your bed room before going to sleep. Use a hot water bottle or electric blanket, but never at the same time. 4. Dress well to stay cosy. At home,
wear several thin layers of clothes rather than one thick layer to trap your body heat. Outdoors, put on a good coat, hat,
scarf and gloves. 5. Eat a balanced diet and have plenty
of hot food and drinks. Take plenty of hot drinks on cold days, including one before bed. Eat a mixed diet and at least one hot meal a day. 6. Keep moving to generate extra body
heat. Any kind of exercise or activity will help you keep warm. Spread chores out through the day so you can alternate between rest and activity. 7. Stop smoking. Stopping smoking
will reduce your chances of a heart attack and improve your circulation. 8. Look out for your neighbours. If you
have an older neighbour or relative, keep an eye on them over the winter to make sure they're keeping safe and well. To find out more, talk to your GP or
pharmacist, visit
www.nhsdirect.nhs.uk or
www.dh.gov.uk, or call NHS Direct on 0845 4647. ■
: •. ijr WHEREVER FLU GOES,
PNEUMONIA AND BRONCHITIS MAY NOT BE FAR BEHIND.
If you suffer from certain serious conditions or you are 65 or over, your immune system may not be strong enough to fight the effects of the flu, making you vulnerable to other more dangerous illnesses. Even if you had the jab last year, you'll need a new one to protect you this winter. Contact your GP for a free flu jab.
IF YOU KNEW ABOUT FLU YOU'D GET THE JAB.
