First scarecrow festival is straw good


Gisburn’s first-ever scarecrow festival was a big hit with villagers and visitors of all ages. More than 40 scarecrows, based on characters from children’s stories, were created by the village’s children, grown-ups and businesses and placed all over the village in an effort supported by the whole community. “It was a fabu­ lous weekend, and everybody said they want to do another festival next year ” said one of the organisers.

Work starts on £400,000 church restoration scheme


Work has started to change Clitheroe’s Trinity Methodist Church from a building with restricted use to one that will not only be a joy for worship, but also practical for other users. The church has received


£10,000 from the National Churches Trust Communi­ ty Grant towards a £400,000 p ro je c t to create more space, install new toilet facili­ ties and improve disabled ac­ cess. Built in 1887, Trinity Meth­


odist Church in 1963 became the new church for all Meth­ odists in Clitheroe. Since then there has been little change to the church itself. However, thanks to fund­


ing, plans have been drawn to create modern spaces and fa­ cilities which will enable it to work in partnership with oth­


er organisations with shared priorities. Currently, the building


is only open for services and other special events, but the project will enable it to be used for a wide range of ac­ tivities. Some of these projects,


under plans drawn up by ar­ chitect Ivan Wilson, include: more space for Clitheroe Food Bank; a creative/flex- ible space and recreational area; and more room allow­ ing people of all ages to get together. New, efficient heating will


be installed and old pews and redundantvestriesremoved, ’ creating more space central­ ly and a welcoming entrance that can be used for other purposes. ■ Access for disabled us­ ers will also be improved,


and suitable toilets installed. Trinity is also working in


conjunction with Ribble Val­ ley Borough Council to de­ velop a space to co-ordinate partnerships with agencies concerned with the wellbe­ ing of older people, especially those with dementia. A spokesman fo r the


church said: “The whole work could not have been done without the generous support of the church fam­ ily and the people of Clithe­ roe who have raised well over half of the money needed to embark on this £400,000 project. “Other organisations that


have supported us include- the Joseph Rank Foundation, Garfield and Weston Trust, Norwood and Newton Trust, the Duchy of Lancaster and the Methodist Church.”
