is a spare room where a child or young person could feel at home. But beyond that, we don’t have any sort of blue print for foster carers. “We have a huge variety
of people on our books - sin gle, married, co-habiting, in same-sex relationships, with or without their own children, working or not, in fact; like any other cross-section of society. “We had a great response
to last year’s campaign and have gained some wonderful new foster carers. But sadly this is not a need which goes away and this September we have 1,335 children and young people who are looked after - about 40 more than the same time last year.
“ I t’s a population that
changes day to day and our foster carers are always there for us, whether it’s keeping a baby for a few weeks while a vulnerable mum gets some help, looking after a brother and sister who are waiting for adoption, or taking in a teen- agerwho can’t live at home. “But we need more foster
carers - we always need more - and we’re hoping the peo ple of Lancashire will stop to think about whether this might be for them.” Allowances are paid to fos
ter carers once they are ap proved and a child is placed with them. There is ongoing training and extensive social work support. • To find out more visit

Marathon effort for the hospice by music man
CLITHEROE record shop manager Paul McGowan completed the Jane Tomlinson Marathon Walk to raise £1,000 for the East Lancashire Hospice. Paul’s latest effort, in memory of his father,
Henry, and his Uncle Bobby, was in addition to the £1,000 he raised last year when he ran the Jane Tomlinson 10km race. Paul (46), who is manager of Townsend
Records in Moor Lane, completed the mara thon distance across the Yorkshire Dales de spite never having done any serious walking before. “I had never done anything like this before.
Last year I trained for the 10k run, but this was a big step up and a huge challenge and J am very grateful to everyone who sponsored me, both this year and last,” said Paul, who lives in Baxenden. The 26-mile marathon walk began in Settle
and took in varied terrain, including Malham- dale and two of the Yorkshire Three Peaks, Pen-y-ghent and Ingleborough. Hospice' fundraising manager Sharon
Crymble said: “Paul is'a huge supporter of the hospice and we are extremely grateful to him for taking up this challenge and raising a great amount in the process.”

The horse, named Blue, died at the scene. “After all her hospital operations,
