grant money made available, to the Lancashire Local com­ mittee by Lancashire-County Council is £5,159 - which ■ means there is still £1,695 for future funding applications by local voluntary youth groups before April 2009; . County . Coun. Chris Holtom, chairman of Lan­


cashire Local Kibble Valley,: said: “We are delighted to approve these grants to both the Kibble Valley Netball Club and XCavate as consid-. ered and recommended by young people themselves as members; of the d is tr ic ts Youth Council. I’m sure both - groups will benefit enormous­ ly. There is still a fair size sum of money left for this financial year and we would encourage more.local youth groups to consider applying for these grants to help support youth. activities and ultimately ben­ efit and bring fun and enjoy­ ment to young people across the Kibble Valley.” Four Kibble 'Valley county


councillors and four Kibble Valley borough councillors form the Lancashire Local Kibble Valley committee. Together, they are responsible for shaping local services to local need, with members making joint decisions dele-
