It’s a fantastic time with exciting events as the nights grow shorter: We have Halloween to look forward to, followed closely by Bonfire Night, so why not find out how to make Jack-o’-Lanterns inside? If you have any events planned over the next few months, make sure they get listed FREE in LINK-MAG monthly magazine, now covering 20,000 homes in Lancaster. We’ve had a fantastic September dealing with more new businesses and enquiries, and we’re looking forward to continued growth over the coming months with even more new areas. We’ve supported Stanah School with Hi Vis vests for their pupils on trips out, so that they will be safe and visible. If you have any sponsoring options around Lancaster, please let us know. Well done to last month’s winner: Lesley Tague for the Where Am I? Competition. £50 is on its way. Have a great Halloween, and see you next month!

New project to help disabled youngsters in to work
A project to help young people with disabilities into full time work has started its first term. Project Search, a programme run by Blackpool Council, The Royal Mencap Society (Mencap), Blackpool and the Fylde College and the town’s three special schools Park, Woodlands and Highfurlong, has opened its doors to ten new pupils this week. The young people will undergo a year of classroom based activities at the heart of Blackpool Council, in its offices on Bickerstaffe Square, as well as gaining work experience within the Council, in order for them to graduate into full time employment in May. The students will take part in two months of learning skills to make them more employable, before going out in to different areas of the Council to gain work experience in their chosen career. The students work with special education teachers from Blackpool and the Fylde College, as well as a support worker from Mencap, to help the pupils achieve their goal of a permanent job. Jake Branson, 19, from Layton, said ‘I hope this will help us get a full time job. I’d like to work in a hotel as a chef so the programme is helping me to learn new skills like handling cutlery, team building and social skills.’ Lisa Marie Kent, 19 from Central Blackpool, added ‘I want to learn skills like hygiene so that I can do in to jobs like cleaning or maybe even catering. If I didn’t try this project then I don’t know what I would do – I hope it will help me find a job.’ Andrew Bradley, 20, from Marton added ‘I want to work in computers and IT so this project will give me opportunities and new skills that will help me work in a new environment and help me in the community.’ Rachel Baldwin, a job coach at Mencap, said: ‘I’ve met all the new interns and their families

and we are excited about the opportunities this project offers. This is a great chance for young adults in Blackpool and ties in with our goal to support young people with a learning disability into paid employment. We are delighted to be working in partnership with Blackpool Council and Blackpool & Fylde College to deliver on this important work.’ Julie Atkinson is one of the specialist practitioners from Blackpool and the Fylde College who is helping the new recruits. ‘This is an exciting project that we all want to work,’ she said. ‘The college is delighted to be working in partnership with Mencap and Blackpool Council with these supported internships to prepare these young people for employment.’ Cllr Kath Rowson, Blackpool Council’s cabinet member for adult social care, said: ‘This is a really good project to help get young adults in to work. Having a disability should not be a barrier towards getting in to work and becoming independent so our aim at the end of this year is to make sure that we can help all ten of these students in to permanent and full time jobs. It’s an ambitious project and one that each our partners feel we can do. I wish all of our new students the best of luck with the year ahead.’ About Mencap

Setting up a new business is a piece of cake. That’s the message from local mum Kelly Ellison, who got started as an independent businesswoman by setting up a baking activity shop in the town centre. Her new company, Cake Tin Delights, has been set up with the help from Blackpool Council’s Get Started team, which is part of the Start Up Lancashire project, supported by European Regional Development Fund. The business, based on Topping Street, offer bespoke cakes, as well as holding special activities like cupcake parties, adult baking classes and a children’s summer club. The mum of three has been baking cakes all her life, and thanks to Blackpool Council, is now hoping to cook up a storm with her new business. Kelly said ‘It has been a tough journey, juggling family and setting a business up, however, with help, support and perhaps more importantly belief, from the Get Started Team, it has become a reality. We are doing really well, and have many bookings already’
Piece of Cake as Kelly sets up new business
Cllr Fred Jackson, Blackpool Council’s cabinet member for urban regeneration, added ‘It’s always great to see a new business get started We helped to set up 100 businesses last year, and are well on our way to meeting that target again. That means more business activity in Blackpool, another boost to the local economy and hopefully helping to get more locals into jobs. I wish Kelly all the best with her new venture.’

Thumbs up for Switch On weekend The 2014 Blackpool Illuminations Switch-On Festival Weekend has been given a resounding thumbs-up. Featuring huge stars like Peter Kay, Little Mix and Pixie Lott, the seafront spectacular earned rave reviews from the vast majority of those in attendance. Businesses too have been reporting positive trends with many hotels being fully booked throughout the three day event. Now an analysis of the coverage of the event and the build up to it shows the coverage – based on buying a similar amount of advertising – was worth an estimated three quarters of a million pounds with this figure still rising. This included daily coverage from media partner Rock FM and the Bauer network, national and regional television coverage, numerous national newspaper reports and a wide range of reports on some of the most viewed websites in the world. The Switch-On Festival Weekend began with Britain’s most popular comedian, Peter Kay, switching on the Lights after a star-studded night of entertainment featuring some of the most popular names in British music. Superstar girl band, Little Mix, headlined the Friday night concert with support coming from Texas, Pixie Lott, Union J, Neon Jungle, George Ezra and Matt Cardle amongst others. Rock FM’s Hywel and Jamie, oversaw the festivities while the first ever Switch-On Food Festival ran throughout the day on Blackpool Promenade. Fireworks launched from the top of The Blackpool Tower as the lights turned on the Golden Mile and along the length of the town’s famous Promenade. The Friday night celebrations were then followed up two top quality nights of family shows on the Saturday and Sunday evenings. Saturday’s West End themed show included
performances from the cast of Thriller Live, Dirty Dancing – The Classic Show on Stage, Chicago, Priscilla Queen of the Desert, Jon Lee of S Club 7 fame and friends performing songs from the Jersey Boys and Leanne Jones, star of Hairspray. Each of the acts wowed the crowd with their repertoire of familiar musical tunes. Sunday’s show, meanwhile, featured a number of top nineties acts including Atomic Kitten, Liberty X, 911 and Damage before Rebecca Ferguson headlined the show and brought the three day festival to a close. Councillor Graham Cain, Blackpool Council cabinet member for tourism and leisure said: ‘As always the incredible PR value that switchon generates alone – from the weeks and days of pre-event coverage to the newspaper, radio and TV coverage of the weekend – makes the investment more than worth it. Based on buying equivalent advertising, we estimate that value to be worth around three quarters of a million pounds. That’s an incredible boost for Blackpool’s tourism industry and just what we need.’ He continued ‘When you couple that with bringing a world class show like Mamma Mia! to Blackpool, the new Blackpool’s Back advertising campaign which has been so successful, the arrival of Illuminasia and the quality of our existing attractions, it really has been a very good year for the town on the tourism front. We hope the three day event will become an integral part of Blackpool’s calendar for years to come and the work to plan for another fantastic show for next year will start soon.’ Blackpool Illuminations will shine nightly until Sunday 9 November
