(S131008/2). A lot of : praise for allotments! Show care


during crisis THE Bishop of Blackburn, i the Rt Rev. Nicholas Reade,! has called on Church of Eng­ land members in Lancashire to increase “prayer and care” for victims of the economic | crisis. “I hope the whole Diocese I


will continue to remember them in their prayers,” the Bishop told Anglican leaders | representing 244 parishes, i meeting a t the Diocesan | Synod in Blackpool. “The credit crunch and the I


general financial crisis has not only shocked us all but in some measure has affected us all,” th e Bishop said. The best hope was for a brief | recession., Unemployment, the repos-1


session of homes, threats to sa-vings and severe reductions to income were among crises facing many people. Charities caring for the poor, at home and overseas, faced having their activities hampered by | reduced funds. “We all have the opportu-1


n ity to show care, and to | show it to those being most | affected,” the Bishop added.

CHARITIES continue to benefit from the energetic efforts of local fund-raisers who completed the Great N o r th Run earlier this month.- . .v Friends Philip Cottier


and Da-vid Clarkson (pic­ tured right), of Clitheroe, are' thrilled to have raised more than £1,000: for the vital life-saving work of


the North West Air Ambulance. They- completed the half-marathon from New- ■ castle to South Shields in a


■ very creditable time of two hours two minutes. Tt was their first time in


the Great North Run, but proved so enjoyable that they hope i t will not be their last.
