16 Clitheroe Advertiser 8iTimes, Thursday, December 31st, 2009 Zoe has New Year wish


AS health trainer for the Kibble Valley, Zoe Pickard knows that New Year resolutions are easy to make and easy to break. But she’s determined


to offer people the chance to keep themselves fit and well over the coming months! Funded by NHS East


Lancashire, Zoe works hand-in-glove with part­ ner organisations, includ­ ing Kibble Valley Bor­ ough Council, in putting on an extensive pro­ gramme of activities for local residents. Over the past year, Zoe


and the council’s Health and Fitnes s Develop­ ment Officer, Tracy Balko, have put on a series of healthy living programmes that look to prevention of illness rather than cure. Already, hundreds of


local people have joined in an array of activities designed to keep them ' active in body and mind. Now, Zoe’s New Year


wish is for the partner­ ship to keep the momen­ tum going in taking the healthy choice opportu­ nities right round the Kibble Valley. It all fits in neatly with


the aims of NHS East Lancashire’s “Save A


by Dunca. Smith Q h a i i c e t o k e 6 p f i t a n d w e l l w i t h v a r i e d p r o g r a m m e


Million Years Of Life” campaign, which aims to improve the health and wellbeing of the area’s residents, with on-the- ground health promoters pla3ung a crucial role. Zoe, who is 27 and lives


in Clitherpe, is certainly enjoying her role as a Healthy Lifestyle Co­ ordinator, her post being funded by the area’s com­ munity health commis­ sioner, NHS East Lan­ cashire. Up to 60 people have


been turning up for the regular exercise sessions put on at The Grand, in York Street, Clitheroe -■ and similar numbers have been attending the Swing and Line Dancing and Easy Aerobics ses­ sions. Out of Clitheroe, Zoe


and partner organisa­ tions have taken “Come Dancing” lessons out to th e catchment area of Langho, Wilpshire, BLUington, Salesbury and Clayton-le-Dale. And a rolling programme has seen the partnership s ta r t to put on “open h ou se” multi-agency events at village centres throughout the Valley,


from Dowriham to Dun- sop Bridge, from Slaid- burn to Sabden, and from Waddington to Wiswell and WhaUey. Zoe said: “It’s been a


very productive and rewarding time over the pas t year and now we have a lot to look forward to. We have learned what is popular and what peo­ ple want - and th a t ’s what we aim to provide. “The New Year offers


people the chance to make a fresh start in looking after themselves and we can help people by offering facilities and activities locally.” In addition to the


danc^based exercise ses­ sions, Zoe has linked up with partners to put on activities aimed at young people, including a “Get Healthy Day” at Kib- blesdale High School, Techology COllege taster, sessions at Kibblesdale Children’s Centre, a “Bumps and Babies” ses­ sion, a “Street .Feet” dancing event, a “Pram- bles” pram and ramble ses sion and a summer school. That’s not to mention the “seated exer­ cise” classes at Read, a


Pamper Day and, “yoga for health” events target­ ed at pregnant women. All the activities are


done in tandem with the local council, the charity Oasis Community Health and the Lancast­ er Foundation, which runs the Grand. Zoe knows th e area


and its people well, hav­ ing been born and brought up in East Lan­ cashire. She gained a Sports Studies Diploma at Bmnley College before going on to take her hon­ ours degree in Sport and Exercise Science at Leeds Metropolitan University. She did her work expe­


rience with Kibble Valley Council, working along­ side Tracy on the “Fit­ ness For Health” exercise referral programme. Now, their pro-active


work seems to be coming together for a Healthy New Year. Hopefully, with some degree of Res­ olution. Our picture shows Zoe
