MP call for probe in wake of OAP ‘suicide’
Ribble Valley MP Nigel Evans has called for the Fundraising Standards Board to conduct a full investigation into the tac tics employed by charities to raise funds from members of the public. It follows the death of
92-year-old Olive Cook, who is claimed to have committed suicide after receiving hun dreds of letters a month from charities requesting money. In his letter to FSB chief
executive Alistar McLean Mr Evans wrote: “I am sure that you agree with me that while
charities should be able to be free to raise the funds they require, but that should not come at the expense of the welfare of vulnerablepeople. “There will be elderly and
vulnerable people across the country who are in a similar situation to Ms Cooke, receiv ing hundreds of phone calls, letters and emails begging them for money and many of them will feel trapped or forced into agreeing." Speaking from Westmin
ster this afternoon Mr Evans said: “Every single charity
that bombarded Ms Cooke should see the impact that their hounding can have on vulnerable people. “Iam today calling for it to
be made illegal'for charities to share or sell information about their donors to other charities or organisations and for there to be restrictions on the number of letters chari ties can send out to potential donors. “This should never be al
lowed to happen again and this case should serve as a wake-up call to charities.”
Who appoints magistrates?
More than 95% of criminal cas es in England and Wales are dealt with in local courthouses by Benches ofthree volunteer Magistrates from within our own communities. But, who selects the people who under take thatimportanttaskofsit- ting in judgement on us? It is done by a group of Mag istrate and non-Magistrate
volunteers who, collectively, are known as the Lancashire Ad visory Committee, chaired by the Lord-Lieutenant of the County. There are presently a number of vacancies on the Committee for non-magis trate members. While train ing isgiven, interviewing skills are a key requirement for this role and you must be of good
character. The work is un paid and the workload varies but can range from approxi mately six to 12 days. I f you are interested con
tact Mrs April Kilpatrick at the Lancashire Advisory Com mittee, Preston Magistrates' Court, PO Box 52, Lawson Street, Preston, PRi2RDoron 01772 208010 for more details.

Cloudy2Clear Windows - Service With A Smile!
I t ’s been a crazy few months foe CIoudy2Ciear Windows. The company wrhich specialises in repairing ' windows which are steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing the panes-not the frames has grown rapidly as homeowners take advantage of their services. Branch Manager Paul
Aspin feels that it’s all about service. ‘Our product is simple. If your double glazing is misted up we can replace the glass at a fraction of the cost of a new window, in any type of frame, and with a new 5 year guarantee. But it’s not just about saving
people money, although that obviously helps. Many tradespeople have struggled since last year and I honestly feel that during the good times a minority perhaps didn’t focus on customer care as much as they should have done. We make sure we turn up when we say we will, do the job the customer requires and leave their house as clean as a whistle. I often get comments back from customers on how they really didn't expect that sort of service which, in a way, is very sad for the service industry as a whole.’ Cloudy2Clear service
the Burnley, Padiham, Nelson & Colne areas
and Paul is finding that his approach is a major factor in his success. ‘The truth is that it’s not just the personal satisfaction that I get from doing a good job but also it makes good business sense. I get a huge amount of business from friends and family
of pcpple I’ve done . .•< work tor, which just goes to show how much a little bit of effort is appreciated.' So, if your windows are
steamed up, broken or damaged give Paul a call for a free quotation on 0800 61 21 118 and he’ll be happy to help!
