Clitheroe Advertiser & Times, Thursday, April 19th, 2007 Katie in training for run by Julie Magee
A FORMER pupil of Clitheroe Royal Grammar School is facing the challenge of a lifetime as she gears up for the BUPA Man chester 10k run. Katie Skelton (24), who used to work at
the Swan and Royal Hotel in Clitheroe as well as Sainsbury’s supermarket, will take part in the run on May 20th to raise funds for Guide Dogs for the Blind. Hoping the local community will support
her efforts, Katie decided to take part in the run to raise funds for a worthy cause, while at the same time challenging herself. “I used to enjoy keeping fit a lot when I was at university and tried to go three times
a week. But two years ago I started to get bad panic attacks, which had a big effect on my life and I lost the confidence to go back to the gym, alongside my studies being affected,” she explained. “I am hoping by doing the 10km run, I
will gain back my original confidence and perhaps inspire others with similar problems to get out there and take life by the horns!” Katie, of Wilpshire, would welcome any
sponsorship. Donations can be made via her on-line fund-raising page on www.justgiv-
ing.com/katieskelton She has set up her own on-line training
blog (diary) to record the days leading up to the run at:

SKIPPING their way to healthy hearts and a healthy donation to charity are these pupils at St Mary’s RC School in Sabden. The pupils put their books aside
to take part in a 90-mihute skipathon in aid of the British Heart Foundation and school funds. And the children loved it after
spending the previous few weeks practising their skipping skills at home and at school break times. They tried all different types of
skipping, cheered on by parents and staff who also provided drinks to keep the active youngsters going. The children were sponsored by family and friends and hope to
have raised a grand sum for the heart foundation. Later in the day the children had an egg decorating competition and prizes were pre sented at afternoon asembly. Our picture shows j'oungsters

Building societies and their history
WHEN it comes to money, did you know that today
you have a choice over 2,000 savings accounts and 4,000 mortgages, on offer from over 150 different organisations, which you can access face-to- face, over the phone, or via the internet. But it wasn't always this way... When the first building socie
ty was created in Birmingham in 1775, its sole purpose was to offer a place for local people to pool their funds to enable them to purchase land and build houses. Their need to do so was a
result of the Industrial Revolu tion, which had led to the popu lations of cities across the UK increasing sharply, as people arrived from the country in search of work. Although the numbers of jobs
available was on the rise, the amount of housing for workers to live in was in very short sup ply, leading to many families living in slums. The earliest building societies

gathered together members' money into a single joint fund which was used to buy land and' build houses, allocating a prop erty to each member in turn. When each family had finally occupied its home, the society

was wound up, its ambitions achieved.
These were known as '"termi
nating” societies and the ethos of each member having equal rights is known as “mutuality”. However, eventually these
societies started accepting deposits from individuals who didn't wish to borrow money to build a home, but instead want ed to find a safe place to invest their money and for the first time, “interest” was paid. With out the need to house these members, the building societies carried on and became the “per
manent” organisations we know today.
Of the thousands of
b u il d in g so c ie ti es which were
created over the years, today 60 remain and many, such as Skip- ton Building Society based in North Yorkshire, are more than 150 years old.
But regardless of their age, the
mutual ethos of the first building societies still holds true today - they are owned by their mem bers equally, regardless of how much money a saver has invest
ed or a homeowner has bor rowed.
This is different from banks
which are companies listed on the stock market and therefore owned by and run for their shareholders (who are not neces sarily customers of the bank). So how
does this translate into the service you receiver
For a society like Skipton,
which remains proud of its her itage and firmly believes that “mutual matters”, having its members at the heart of every thing it does (instead of share holders) means they really bene fit - from high interest rates on savings accounts to low interest rates on its award-winning mort gages; from belonging to an organisation which plays an important part in the local com munity to receiving a friendl.v, face-to-face service in its local branches, which is something that can prove especially helpful when advice is needed. There's no doubting that
financial services have come a long way over the centuries and, by taking an interest in the abundance of products and serv ices on offer and choosing wiselj', today's customers can really make their money work for them.
