Blackpool News Parents and children by the Better Start illumination
Blackpool student gets the Llewellyn Bowen treatment as design goes up in lights Blackpool design student, Julia Maczak has had her artwork put up in lights by celebrity designer Laurence Llewellyn Bowen as part of this year’s illuminations. The 21-year-old graphic design undergraduate from Layton recently designed a new logo for the Blackpool Better Start partnership. Julia’s design was chosen by the NSPCC as the best idea for a new logo for the £45million lottery funded initiative. The NSPCC team were so impressed with Julia’s idea that she was invited to undertake an internship this summer at the charity’s creative studio in London. After putting the finishing touches to her design, the new logo has now been incorporated in a specially commissioned illumination by Laurence Llewellyn Bowen. The illumination is a celebration of the Blackpool Better Start partnership which aims to give babies across Blackpool the best possible start in life. Julia’s design incorporates a child and adult footprint in the shape of a heart. Julia said: ‘I’ve had a great summer filled with opportunities for me to develop as a designer. I had a fantastic time working with the NSPCC creative team and I’m so proud to be involved in a local project in Blackpool. I was delighted to see my final design chosen as the logo for Better Start and it’s the icing on the cake that it’s now lighting up the night sky as part of the illuminations.’
Cllr Ivan Taylor, Blackpool Council’s cabinet member for children’s services said: ‘Julia’s design is really impressive and epitomises the Better Start project really well. Even better, this design has been made locally and is a fantastic example of what children and young people in Blackpool can do when they are able to reach their potential. We want all children in Blackpool to be able to reach a similar potential but to do that some of them need to receive a better start in life. That’s why this project is so important and why we’re determined to make sure it’s successful. The results won’t be felt overnight but over the course of the next ten years we’re aiming to improve the lives of around 9,000 children.’ Better Start is a partnership between the NSPCC, Blackpool Council, NHS health organisations in Blackpool, as well as the voluntary sector and local parents. It won £45million worth of funding from the Big Lottery in June this year. The money will be spent over 10 years and aims to support parents and young families across Blackpool.

A different quality of care The team at Home Instead Senior Care in Blackpool, North Cleveleys and Fleetwood are passionate about providing care to its clients which not only improves the quality of their life but those of their families too. Owner Tara said, “We are passionate about providing the highest standard of person-centred care. Our ethos is simple – treat others as we would wish to be treated ourselves. In doing this we are improving our clients’ quality of life and helping them to remain living in their own homes.” Home Instead Senior Care specialises in providing care for older people in their own homes. The service is extremely flexible and ranges from help a few hours a day to 24 hour care. We believe that care can’t be delivered in a short, rushed visit so our care calls are of a minimum hour duration. Each and every one of our clients has a care plan tailored specifically to their own needs. Whether it’s a trip to the park for some fresh air, a visit to the hairdressers; some help around the house or assistance with shopping; right through to medication reminders and post-operative support or respite care we are here to help. We also provide a range of specialist services, which include
Alzheimer’s and dementia care, convalescence care and respite care. What’s more, we take time to carefully match our caregivers to clients so that they share common areas of interest and can form an immediate bond. We only employ the most caring, considerate and empathetic caregivers – people to whom making a difference to the lives of others is important. It is for this reason that we enjoy long-lasting relationships with our clients. Our caregivers are carefully selected, are CRB checked and have to provide six references Home Instead Senior Care are committed to making a difference, we regard it as a special privilege to look after people with love, care and compassion and we take our responsibilities very seriously indeed For more information on Home Instead Senior Care please call us on 01253 200770 or visit www. homeinstead.co.uk/ blackpoolandwyre

RSPCA Blackpool & North Lancs Can you offer a home to an animal?
They are now open at the new premises on Old Tom Lane, Stalmine, FY6 0JR. Tuesdays - Sundays 11am - 5pm with a new telephone number 01253 703000. They have 30 cats all in need of new homes and guinea pigs, gerbils, degus though there are still no dogs at the time of going to press. Four particular cats have been there the longest, since they arrived in May. Declan, Jemima, Storm and Melanie. The RSPCA are desperate to get the long stays homed, the only downside is that none of the four can live with other cats. They are only suitable for older children and quieter households too. Declan is 3-6 years, Jemima is 14 years, Storm is 7-9 years and Melanie is 5 years. Another special one is Vanilla who needs a home: Vanilla is a very friendly boy who loves attention. He was removed from a house after being found living in very poor conditions. Due to this, Vanilla has been poorly whilst at the centre so needs a home where he is the only cat . He also needs to be kept indoors. Please don’t let that put you off though, he has since made a good recovery! Vanilla is currently in a foster home as he was getting quite stressed in the cattery. If you think you can offer Vanilla the lovely home he desperately deserves, then please contact the Centre.

Vanilla
Then there is Rufus who is in need of a farm or stables type of home. He is not an indoor cat he is free to adopt due to us wanting him to just find a stables or farm. He was found roaming for food at the old RSPCA site so they brought him with them to find a new home and see that he gets fed properly. He is not suitable around children. He is about 4-6 years old. The centre also has a shop that sells animal food and products on site too. Further info at www.rspcablackpool.org.uk

Exciting journey for new Managing Director of Blackpool Transport Services An experienced transport manager with strong links to Blackpool has been appointed as the new Managing Director of Blackpool Transport Services. Jane Cole, who has more than 35 years’ experience working in the rail industry, most recently as a Senior Manager in Customer Service, Operations, Commercial and Marketing at Virgin Trains, will start work on November 3rd.
Originally from Manchester, Jane’s career began in 1979 when she took her first job as a technical officer in signalling and telecommunications. Progression in her career brought her to Blackpool – a popular holiday destination for her family – in 1989 when she took a job working at Blackpool North Station. A management promotion took her to Preston to work for Intercity in 1990 before moving to Virgin Trains in 1996. A former member of the board of the North West Lancashire Chamber
of Commerce as well as Visit Lancashire, Jane is also an active member of the Blackpool Business Leadership Forum. Jane said: ‘I am delighted and excited to now be the Managing Director for Blackpool Transport Services. With the new tramway, plans to Jane Cole extend it further to create an improved, fully integrated transport network linking to Blackpool North Station and, of course, running bus routes across the whole of the Fylde coast, the challenge is huge. These are really exciting times and Blackpool Transport is now ready to be part of the integrated transport revolution which is being strategically planned for the resort. I want people to take away a brilliant experience when they travel on our trams and buses. I intend to forge close relationships with customers, employees, stakeholders, and train and coach operators who bring people into the resort. We are a big part of the customer travel experience and I want people to leave with an amazing impression.’

Canada crowned World Fireworks Championship winners
Canadian master blasters Firemaster Productions have been named winners of Blackpool’s World Fireworks Championships 2014. The annual festival, which runs every Friday night throughout September, saw competitors from Sweden, Austria and Canada battle it out to be named the winner. And as Great British pyrotechnic experts Titanium rounded off the annual spectacle on Friday (26/9) the judges announced it was the Canadian team who were the overall victors. Sean Morris MD of Firemaster Productions, Canada, said: ‘We are very proud to have been invited to participate, and winning this year’s edition is an absolute dream. The displays by Team Sweden and Team Austria were simply fantastic and we are very fortunate to be crowned the winner. We would like to thank the crew from Titanium Fireworks for all their hard work and special thanks to everyone that attended our display. We hope to compete again soon.’ Blackpool hosts the World Fireworks Championship each year in September when tens of thousands of people make the trip to the resort each week to watch the amazing pyrotechnics light up the skies.
Cllr Graham Cain, Blackpool Council’s cabinet member for tourism and leisure, said: ‘The quality of the displays at this year’s World Fireworks Championships was absolutely incredible and anyone who attended was treated to a real spectacle. It’s pleasing the popularity of the event continues to increase. We look forward to delivering another stellar line-up next year.’ Firemaster Productions are located in Niagara Falls, Canada. Firemaster Productions has been producing worldclass fireworks displays since 2006. They specialize in large scale productions and have successfully produced Canada’s largest pyro-musical display in Toronto for the past 2 years. In addition, key members of our team were part of the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony. They use state-of-the-art software to design unique and spectacular displays using music that is fresh and modern. Photo: Canada’s entry into the Blackpool World Fireworks Championships 2014.
