Youngsters
praised for crime-busting DVD
PUPILS have been praised
for producing a DVD designed to highlight the devastating impact of
anti-social behaviour.
Lancashire's Police and Crime Commissioner Clive Grunshaw will visit
All Saints C of E Primary School, in Clayton-le-Moors, Accrington,
on Friday, 26 April 26013, to meet the youngsters who have devised
the crime-fighting film.
The DVD; which involves the school's year 6 pupils; tells the story
of Freddie who is pressured by friends into spraying graffiti at
school and shows his subsequent arrest, police interview and the
impact his behaviour has on him, his family and the community.
Tackling anti-social behaviour is one of the commissioner's key
priorities, and he will present the pupils involved with
certificates alongside Chief Superintendent Bob Eastwood.
Clive Grunshaw said:- "I am delighted to have the opportunity
to meet with the pupils from All Saints C of E Primary School. They
are to be applauded for their work to raise awareness about
anti-social behaviour (ASB) among young people, and the impact it
can have not only on them but on those around them. ASB can have a
serious detrimental impact on victims; raising their fear of crime
and affecting their quality of life. Lancashire Constabulary has a
good performance record in tackling ASB but we are not complacent
and improvements can always be made."
Divisional Commander for Eastern Division, covering Blackburn with
Darwen, Hyndburn and the Ribble Valley Chief Superintendent Bob
Eastwood said:- “This is a fantastic and creative way for
children to learn about the consequences of anti social behaviour.
It was a fantastic way to engage with children whilst allowing them
to highlight important issues. We know the devastating impact anti
social behaviour can have on a community. It really concerns people
and makes them feel less safe. Our neighbourhood policing teams are
committed to taking action to improve the quality of life for
members of the local community. Where it does happen they will work
closely with agencies such as the Council and the housing
association to tackle the issue.”
Ian Spencer, head teacher at the school, said:- "It is a
fantastic opportunity to strengthen the link that exists between the
police and the school and I'm very proud of the children for the
hard work they have put into the DVD."
Anyone concerned or wanting help with Anti-social behaviour can
contact their local neighbourhood policing team. Help and advice can

DO YOU HAVE THE CHEEK TO BE A
BUTLER?
AS unemployment in
Merseyside is on the rise yet again, Butlers in the Buff have the
answer for the alternative job of the year on offer to the men of
Merseyside. They’re on the search for the most confident, charming
males aged 21 to 35 years of age to sign up for the online
recruitment day being held on the 22 May 2013, as the demand for
good looking men soars in Liverpool.
Butlers in the Buff is a ‘male’ order company who
provide the hottest men to serve drinks, host events or bring a
cheeky edge to any party or event. Wearing only cuffs, collars and a
bottom revealing apron mean that not only is looking the part
important, but a winning personality and buckets of charm is also
just as vital.
The current butlers can earn anything up to £1,000 per month as a
second income, working part time hours socialising at parties on
weekends. As figures released by the Office for National Statistics
showed the total number of people claiming jobseeker’s allowance
rose by 1.3% in Liverpool to 20,622 people this February, the
opening could not come at a better time.
So Butlers in the Buff are holding an online recruitment day
specific for the cheeky men of Merseyside, as the demand for men is
so high. They simply need to go online and fill out the application
form along with a couple of photos on the Butlers in the Buff
website, including a topless shot.
Joe, Allerton, Liverpool who has been a butler for two and half
years recommends the job for anyone looking to earn extra cash in
addition to their day job:- "It has to be the perfect extra
job, you get paid to chat and look good, it boosts your confidence
getting attention from the ladies and it’s a great side earner.
Totally beats your average Saturday night, 2 hours of work and you
can get your travel expenses paid too."
Hopefuls must complete an application form online and will be
invited for a Skype interview. Anyone interested in earning £25 an
hour to socialise should apply now by longing onto:-

Carl Smith &
Janet Marshall
A leading bowel cancer
charity is looking for volunteers to join its team of volunteers in
Southport.
Beating Bowel Cancer now has a fundraising and awareness group in
the town, but they are looking for more members.
Regional Community Fundraiser, Rachel Thomas, said:- “The
group has been formed by 2 bowel cancer survivors from the town,
Janet Marshall and Carl Smith, but we are looking for more people to
get involved.”
Janet was diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2011, and following surgery
to remove a tumour, has successfully beaten the disease. Carl was 47
when he was diagnosed in 2010 and after treatment is back at work.
Janet said:- “1 in 4 people are touched by bowel cancer in
some way, either directly or through a family member or friend. We
want to unite everyone affected by the disease in the Merseyside
area to help talk openly about bowel cancer and help us to support
the great work of Beating Bowel Cancer."
Carl said:- “I know what a huge impact bowel cancer can have,
not only on the patients, but on family and friends. We’re
supporting the charity Beating Bowel Cancer because they give vital
support to patients and their families. If, like me, you have been
personally affected by bowel cancer, please join up and help us to
raise funds for this important cause.”
The group is holding a collection in Southport Town Center on
Saturday, 11 May 2013 and is looking for volunteers to help raise
vital funds by shaking a bucket for bowel cancer.
Beating Bowel Cancer works to save lives from the UK’s second
biggest cancer killer and all money raised from this fundraising
event will be used to help raise awareness of bowel cancer and
support patients and their families coping with the disease.
The charity needs volunteers to help from 11am until 3pm and will
provide volunteers with charity t-shirts and collection buckets.
Anyone interested in helping at this fundraising
event should call Rachel on:- 07825 910943 or send the an
email.
Bowel cancer is the UK’s second biggest cancer killer because many
patients are diagnosed too late. Each year more than 41,000 people
across the UK are diagnosed with bowel cancer. However, if diagnosed
early over 90 per cent of cases could be cured.
