BLACKPOOL NORTH MAGAZINE

JULY 2011 Editors Letter

Welcome to our JULY edition of LINK, its been a great last month with lots of exciting events going on around Blackpool with Armed Forces week and Blackpool Pride events, lots of people out and about enjoying all there is to offer locally. Lots of work still going on with the seafront, but its all taking shape now and not long before we see our new super trams, and all the work will be forgotten.

Don’t forget coming up this month on the other end of the coast 17th July is the return of the biggest FREE event of its kind, the Fleetwood Festival of Transport “Tram Sunday 2011” and I believe a tram will be present on the day, so lets support it! LINK had the pleasure of creating the programme for the event so look out soon for copies.

Due to the success of our magazines we have now taken the decision to launch our 6th magazine into FY8 Lytham St.Annes coming in August so if you want to get in it call LINK. You may also have noticed a slight change to our covers as we’ve given it a fresh look, we hope you like it as we work hard to develop our Blackpool magazines.

Congratulations LINK-Spotter John Heyes of Fleetwood who won our ‘Where am I?’ Competition. £50 is on its way to you.

GET IT COVERED, GET IN LINK! Many Thanks

SUN IN YOUR EYES… … CHILDREN NEED PROTECTION A Blackpool optician is warning parents about dangers of UV rays on young and undeveloped eyes. Lisa Barrett from Red Bank Opticians Kodak Lens Vision Centre in Bispham is encouraging parents to think of their children this summer when buying sunglasses for themselves.

For more information about the different types of sun lenses, the importance of proper eye-care protection or expert advice visit Red Bank Opticians KODAK Lens Vision Centre at 113 Redbank Road, Bispham or call 01253 350048 www.kodaklens.co.uk

“Everyone knows to protect their children’s skin from the sun, but it is really worrying that so few people are giving their children’s eyes the same protection. Given that children’s eyes are more sensitive and fragile, it is not surprising that they need even more protection against the harmful UV rays than adults.” (Lisa Barrett, Red Bank Opticians Kodak Lens Vision Centre)

Sun damage from UV rays contributes to a wide range of eye disorders from cataracts to cancer.

Recent research has shown that by the age of 16 more than half a lifetime’s worth of damaging UV light has been absorbed by a child’s eye.

Red Bank Opticians has an excellent range of sunglasses designed especially for children. KODAK lenses for Kidz are designed to suit children’s growing eyes and faces and are perfectly suited to children’s active lives as they are scratch and impact resistant, ideal for the rough and tumble.

Red Bank Opticians KODAK Lens Vision Centre offers the following tips for choosing children’s sunglasses:

• Only buy sunglasses with CE marking which means they conform to European safety standards • Only choose sunglasses that block out UVA and UVB rays as other versions could actually damage your children’s eyes rather than protect them • Think about buying a strap to hold them in place • Encourage your children to wear their glasses by wearing yours • Explain the damage the sun can do to their eyes

The first of the fundraising activities that the committee in-tend to embark upon is the 5K Blackpool Run that takes place on 3rd July.

Friends Of The Foyer is a newly formed committee of ex-residents along with staff and present residents of The Foyer based on Chapel Street, Blackpool. The Foyer is a supported housing scheme for vulnerable 16-25 year olds that provides vital help for a better future.

If you wish to know more or want to support the committee in away way then please get in touch via the website www.homelessuk.org Supported by Great Places and Mancheste Methodist Housing Group

One of our main aims as ‘Friends Of The Foyer’, is to act as a voice for present and future residents to help raise awareness and support from members of the wider community.

As ‘Friends Of The Foyer’ we hope to raise over £5,000 within the first twelve months to fund projects and initiatives that meet the needs of residents to The Foyer. Such a project would be a community garden along with a community football team. These projects will develop health, friendship, self-help, learning, social enterprise and living skills.
