Volunteering In Rossendale is a brand new initiative to encourage, support and celebrate volunteers in Rossendale. Rossendale Borough Council have partnered with REAL, BPRCVS, Rossendale Citizens Advice, Lancashire Wellbeing Service, and Lancashire Adult Learning to launch Volunteering In Rossendale. Volunteers are an important part of our local Rossendale communities. Without their vital support many community groups and organisations couldn’t deliver the activities and services that matter so much to Rossendale’s residents. Whether you’re looking for work experience while studying or want something to do after retiring, if you’re a caring person that wants to put back into your community or you want to get back into paid employment… Volunteering is the perfect answer. Throughout Rossendale there are a huge number of voluntary opportunities out there for you to get involved in. Your local Volunteer Centre is the perfect place to discuss anything about volunteering. If you’re interested in a voluntary position or you’ve got questions that need answering the BPRCVS Volunteer Centre is here to help. Call the Volunteer Centre on 01282 433740. Drop in to the Volunteer Centre every Friday at BPRCVS’s Rossendale office at 21 Market St. Bacup and watch out for Volunteering in Rossendale activities and events taking place across the valley over the next few months.

Natalie of Rossendale based Soulsense Hypnotherapy looks at the importance of our mental and emotional wellbeing In today’s busy world, with what can feel like constant pressure, it’s more important than ever to look after ourselves holistically. Holistic health and well being is something that our ancestors were well aware of, and practiced as part of their everyday lives. In certain parts of the world a holistic approach is still taken, and meditation, is part of a healthy lifestyle, as it has been for centuries. In many non western cultures there is no word in their languages for depression, which raises the question as to why there are so many mental and emotional health issues within modern western society. By considering our health holistically, many emotionally based issues and imbalances can be overcome, pain and ongoing symptoms can be alleviated and managed, and all our energy systems are brought into balance, and general sense of peace and wellbeing can be restored. The Holistic approach recognises that we are mind, body and soul, and if one of these areas is out of balance, it will have an effect on the others. Hypnotherapy, NLP and Mindfulness are wonderful practices enabling the mind to let go of unnecessary behaviours or responses, and restore peace. Hypnotherapy is highly affective with the majority of issues, some of which are listed on the website. www.soulsensehypnotherapy.com Spiritual, Shamanic and Reiki Healing bring the mind, body and soul together in alignment, restoring balance, and easing symptoms and in many instances eradicating them. Holistic Massage is used with healing to alleviate physical symptoms, assist healing in affected areas, and of course relax and sooth. Do something today that your future self will thank you for; make your Holistic Health a priority. 26

Rossendale based Graham Woodward, inventor and creator is the genius behind the strip based learning system KNOW YOUR TIMES TABLES learning system which has sold over 4,000 units worldwide in the last 2 years
32
Graham has been a practicing home tutor for over 20 years and has a lifetime of experience in education. He has worked with and tutored children and adults of all ages and currently teaches 25 children in the Borough every week, becoming a private tutor 18 years ago after working as a draughtsman and managing director of a sports events company. Graham has frequently featured in national magazine articles and the educational columns of newspapers. Graham says “ I initially created and devised my unique system (I’m loathe to use the word ‘game’ because of the seriousness of the situation) because as I visit children to tutor them I find more and more that they do not know their times table very well. I strongly believe the times tables are still the basis for all future maths knowledge as children progress into secondary school and eventually into the workplace”. “The 380 piece system ‘Know Your’TM Times Tables, has specifically developed to be different and to keep children more interested than any other methods. Many children I tutor find that they actually enjoy using my system, and I have had some truly amazing results with children of all ages and abilities. Some parents of dyscalculia’s, dyslexic, aspergers and special needs children have become emotional at their new found knowledge”. The games are invented, developed,designed and manufactured in Rossendale and Graham is continually working on developing his existing games and broadening the range to yet more titles. The games are unlike anything in the marketplace. You can search for them on YouTube, Amazon, Google and Facebook. One of Graham’s 5* Amazon Reviews “This is an excellent activity for all children to use their Times Tables. I have used it with groups of children and individuals with the same success . Children gain confidence doing the activity and are not just using their memory skills to complete the task but also reasoning skills to find the answers. Children who have previously struggled to learn their times tables make very good progress. Highly recommended for parents and teachers”.

Linda Healey of Pets Stay gives useful tips on dog boarding I’ve been running my home dog boarding business for about three years now and can honestly say it’s the best job I’ve ever had, as I get to meet lots of lovely dog owners and lots of gorgeous dogs. For those of you who’ve never heard of home dog boarding, this is where your dog goes to stay with a carer while you’re away on holiday or for business. While they are on their ‘holiday’ they’re treated like the family pet; played with, taken for walks and given lots of cuddles. All my carers are carefully vetted. They have to be home during the day, they have to have a secure garden and, most importantly, they have to be dog lovers with experience of caring for dogs. A lot of the carers are active, retired folk; they may always have had a dog, but may have decided to make the most of their retirement by taking long holidays abroad. This means they can’t have a dog full time, but they can become carers and enjoy the company of dogs as well as earning a bit of money for those trips away. To ensure your dog has a lovely (and safe) time on their holiday, here are a few things to look out for when choosing home dog boarding: Meet the carer – Ask to meet the carer in their home, so that you can ensure your dog will be staying in a suitable environment with an experienced carer.
38
Home boarding licence – All carers should be able to show you a licence from their local authority. This means they’ve been vetted by the council as fit and proper carers.
Rou�nes – During the meeting the carer should take details of your dog’s routines; what they eat, where they sleep, any medication needed etc. They should also take details of your dog’s vet and any pet insurance cover, just in case. Does the carer take dogs from different households? – Check that the carer will not be boarding dogs from other families while your dog is with them, as there’s no guarantee that your dog will get on with the other dogs or will get the level of attention you would like them to have. Insurance – All carers are legally required to have insurance, in case a dog causes an accident or injury or damages someone’s property. Your dog is a much-loved member of your family, so naturally you will want them to be happy and well cared for while you’re away. If you follow these guidelines, you’ll be able to enjoy your holiday in the knowledge that your dog is having as good a time as you are!

Ruth answers this issues questions from local residents. Do debts die with the deceased? Anonymous Debts are inherited in the same way assets are inherited. The debts will initially be claimed from the estate and will need to be settled before any assets are released to the benificiaries. If there are not enough assets the creditors will commonly write off outstanding balances unless there was a joint debt. Will my family decide upon how my assets are divided.? Anonymous Unfortunately, if you pass without a will then all assets and liabilities will follow the rules of intestacy; your family may not be able to decide what happens with your assets. The rules of intestacy do not account for modern families so unmarried partners and any step-children will not be provided for.
