Blackpool News
Staff from a local business volunteering for a beach clean at Lytham beach.
LOVEmyBEACH Cleaning up the North West Organisations across the North West have joined forces to create the LOVEmyBEACH campaign. The Turning Tides partnership has launched www.lovemybeach.org offering lots of tips on how people can help keep beaches and bathing waters clean - from volunteering for a beach litter pick to not flushing disposable products down the toilet. You don’t have to live near the beach to make a difference - everyone across the North West region can do something, whether at home, at work or visiting the area. Annie Heslop, Jayne Foat and Emma McColm co-ordinate LOVEmyBEACH activities across the region and are busy supporting volunteer groups, schools, hotels and local people to do their bit to make a difference to bathing waters. You can’t miss them out and about in their LOVEmyBEACH hoodies! Water sampling by the Environment Agency reveals that the 32 bathing waters - from Silloth in the North to West Kirkby in the South - are dramatically cleaner than they were 20 years ago. But there’s more we need to do to meet tougher European Standards coming into force in 2015. If a bathing water, a designated area of water where people swim and paddle, doesn’t meet the new standards, signs could go up advising people not to bathe. Neil Jack, Chair of the Turing Tides Partnership and Chief Executive of Blackpool Council said: “We’re working together across the North West to make sure everyone can enjoy our beaches and
8
bathing waters for generations to come. But we need your help! Going to the beach and paddling in the waters - both along the coast and in the Lakes - is an important part of the British culture. They not only help attract millions of visitors, but also help improve our health and wellbeing. Please visit the website and see what you can do to help LOVEmyBEACH and share your ideas. Why not come and join us at a beach clean, you?ll make new friends, get some great exercise and fresh air. Who knows what you might find!” On behalf of the Fylde Peninsular Water Management Group, Cllr Fred Jackson, Cabinet Member for Urban Regeneration at Blackpool Council, said: “The new LOVEmyBEACH website offers residents, visitors and local businesses practical advice on the small steps they can take to help keep our bathing waters clean, and there’s lots of information on there about what we’re doing too. You can find out what’s going on at a beach near you as well as keep up-to-date with all the latest beach and bathing water events taking place across the Fylde.” The website has been built by Manchester based agency Creative Spark who immediately saw how important this campaign is to the North West. Founder and Creative Director, Neil Marra said: “This is our first project for Turning Tides and we are very proud to have worked on it. The LOVEmyBEACH campaign promotes a clean environment across the North West, an area close to the hearts of the Creative Spark team. We look forward to seeing LOVEmyBEACH succeed to improve bathing water quality in the region for good.”

It is hoped no one will go hungry in Blackpool again following the launch of a new network that will co-ordinate food banks across the resort. The partnership aims to strengthen the work that already exists between churches, other faith and voluntary groups and Blackpool Council to get food parcels to those in need. While the partnership is inspired by Christian faith groups, it is committed to serving the whole of the community and offers support to people of all faiths as well as those without.
Greg Smith from Together Lancashire, Cllr Simon Blackburn and the Rt Rev Geoff Pearson, Bishop of Blackburn
Blackpool News
Blackpool Food Partnership Launched
In practice, the agreement will see churches and voluntary and religious groups make referrals to the Blackpool Council Discretionary Support Scheme. People will then be assessed and, if eligible, be given food parcels. Co-ordinating the groups centrally will also help to ensure that people in crisis will receive the help and support they need, being signposted to helpful services and getting advice to prevent similar emergencies from occurring in the future.

As a result Blackpool Council provides free breakfast for all primary school pupils.
