partment for Work and Pen­ sions show that in May, 2010, a total of 1,753 people in the Ribble Valley were claiming housing benefit, of which 198 were employed but not earn­ ing enough to put them above the benefit threshold.


By November, 2013, the to­


tal number of housing bene­ fit claimants in Ribble Valley had risen by 12% to 1,962 and of those claimants 315 were employed. That means the number of


people in work but still quali­ fying for housing benefit had risen by 59% over the three- and-a-halfyear period. The increase is seen as a


reflection on the failure of wages to keep pace with the


cost of living throughout the economic crisis, with more and more people having to re­ ly on state benefits. In neighbouring Pendle,


the situation is far worse, with the number of in-work claim­ ants rising from 134 in 2010 to 1,175 last year.


: That is a staggering 777%


increase, even though the to­ tal number of Pendle's hous­ ing benefits claimants rose by just 2% over the same period.

Canteen hosts impromptu Good Foxy gig


Higher education students were treated to more than lunch as Clitheroe band Good Foxy per­ formed an impromptu set at the University Centre at Blackburn College. The band, who were due to appear at Blackburn’s “Friday Night Live” event, impressed the students with a 30-minute acoustic set. Wendy Pennington, head of student engagement at Blackburn College, said: “Witnessing a live performance from such a current young band was certainly not what our students were expecting as they went for lunch. The band was definitely a big hit and I know students have now made plans to see them perform on stage.” Good Foxy is a four-piece rock and blues band which formed last year and earlier this year won the Reidy’s talent contest. The band comprise George Banks on guitar and vocals, Henry Crabtree on guitar, Freddie Bruhin-Price on bass and Callum Sykora on drums.


Wilpshire-based charity Child Action Northwest has a new face of fund­ raising. Nicola Terry has been a fund-raiser for more then eight years. She said: “I’m really look­ ing forward to my new role with Child Action Northwest. I aim to in­ crease voluntary giving and donations by putting in place a strategy which will target all available income streams. I’m aim­ ing to work alongside our dedicated staff to encourage them to share their successes, however small or large. Child Ac­ tion Northwest has some amazingprojects.” Nicola has previously workedfor Deafway in Preston and for War­ rington Youth Club.

Carers in rural Valley to benefit from partnership


Land Rover UKand the British Red Cross are launching anew five-year partnership to deliv­ er essential services to 1,000 older people facing crisis in rural locations in Lancashire. Through funding from


Land Rover UK, the charity’s volunteers will provide sup­ port mostly to older, vulner­ able carers, tailored to their specific needs. Some older people who


are typically at risk of health issues such as depression, stroke, accidents or demen­ tia will also receive help. Nalini Patel, the project’s


senior service manager, said: “Our new support service will focus on carers in the rural community of Ribble Valley. These hard-working individuals can often expe­ rience problems with their mental and physical health, financial circumstances, family life and careers, which can all be impacted by their caring responsibilities. “Although the need for


carers is rising, they typi­ cally have restricted access to support services due to their rural location. All of


these factors make our new partnership with Land Rover UK absolutely vital to carers in rural Lancashire. “Our volunteers will be


able to help these carers by offering a combination of practical and emotionalsup- port, such as help with shop­ ping, preparing light meals and making them aware of other valuable services that already exist in the commu­ nity- or even just a chat and


' acup of tea, which can bejust as important in those few weeks after a crisis.” The essential programme


in rural Lancashire is part of a new national partner­ ship, which will see Land Rover UK provide £2 mil­ lion worth of support to 11 Red Cross projects in rural locations. The company con­ tinues its long-term vehicle loan scheme to the British Red Cross during times of se­ vere weather, enablingemer- gency response workers to access hard-to-reach com­ munities at times of crisis. For more information on


the new service, call Nalini Patel on 01772 707317.
