to your LYTHAM ST. ANNES & FYLDE Magazine. O come all ye faithful into the last edition of the year, Christmas is upon us once again! A special time to touch base and spend time with family and friends while enjoying the festive season. There are many events in the what’s on section once again to keep you busy over this period and into the New Year…. We’ve had a fantastic year helping 100’s of local businesses showcase themselves to our readers, as well as supporting as many local events and most of all helping charity events and causes raise £1000’s. LINK-MAG is more than just local directory and free community magazine, it’s an integral part of the local community. Myself and the team here at LINK-MAG would like to wish you a brilliant Christmas and New Year and a special thank you for supporting us over the last 5+years, we’re run by independent local people and give back to the community on many occasions personally. We take a break over Christmas so our next edition will be our combined JAN/FEB issue out from mid January with 12th Dec deadline for all events up to and including Feb 2015 available online as well. Well done to last month’s winner: David Heaney for the Where Am I? Competition. £50 is on its way. Once again have a great Christmas and a Happy New Year, see you in 2015!

Daughter invests back into South Shore
Lisa Brownless daughter of Larry & Jeannette Colino, who were licensed victualers in South Shore for many years, has made a return to invest in the area she grew up. She has started up a new family run business with her son Ryan in property development, refurbishing property to a high standard for rental within the Blackpool area. Lisa also saw a niche in the market and decided to open up ‘Heaven An Hell’, a unique and exclusive adult store on Waterloo Road in South Shore. Due to the poor state of the economy you can find products in ‘Heaven An Hell’ up to 50% cheaper and for the same quality product compared to similar stores. With more styles available as well you will find something within Heaven An Hell to suit anybody’s budget. Heaven An Hell opened in August 2014, and has been very successful. They are expanding daily with new ranges of stock, Heaven An Hell Unique parties (unlike any other for any occasion), Birthday’s, Girls Nights In and Hen & Stag Parties.
Get 10% OFF when you call into ‘Heaven An Hell’, everyone is welcome within their relaxed and friendly environment. This is just the beginning for this Family Business, and won’t be the last you see of them, as expanding ‘Heaven An Hell’ to other locations within Blackpool and other areas is in the pipeline.

Local RSPCA news Can you offer a home to an animal?
Ebony was abandoned at the vets by her previous owner, they left her there to have an operation and never collected her. She is a sweet girl who can sometimes be shy so a quieter home would be better. She is thought to be 3- 5 years old, She is a very pretty cat who likes affection but sometimes just wants to lay in the sun and sleep. She is suitable to live with older children but no other animals. She could possibly live with another cat as long as it is a calm one. Marco was transferred to us from another Centre along with his 2 brothers. He is a young Degu. He is very friendly and likes being handled. He had to have his tail amputated but it doesn’t effect him. He loves his wheel and his treats. It is hoped he would be able to live with other degus but it would need to be another male and they would have to make sure they didn’t fight. Degus are £15.00 each to adopt and like to be active so need big cages. The Amazon Wishlist Christmas Tree Appeal, this year RSPCA are doing something extra special by having a Christmas Tree which has cards attached with wishlist items on. These are items from their Amazon wishlist online. You can choose a card from the tree and on it is the item you may wish to purchase for the Centre. You can then replace the card with a picture of your own pet or in memory of a previous pet if you wish. To view their wishlist online please visit http://tinyurl.com/bplrspcawishlist or pop down to the Centre to view the tree with the items on.
Ebony
Shoe box appeal, they are appealing for shoe boxes with lots of cats, small animal toys and treats in. People decorate the shoe boxes for Christmas and fill them with toys and anything they think the animals could use at the Centre. There are drop off points all over Blackpool and at the Animal Centre in Stalmine. If people are wanting to know the drop off points they can then call us 01253 703000 to find out the nearest point to drop off for you. They hope to have the dog kennels ready early next year and still have lots of cats and small animals at the moment looking for homes. There are a lot of guinea pigs and the two Degus who have been here a while now. Further info at www.rspcablackpool.org.uk. RSPCA Longview Animal Centre, Old Toms Lane, Stalmine, Poulton-Le-Fydle, FY6 0JR. Opening times 11am-5pm Tue-Sun. Contact: 01253 703000, enquiries@rspcablackpool.org

Music Sounds Better With Huw
Top Radio One DJ heads to Blackpool this December
This December the premier venue for new music in Blackpool will play host to the official authority in all things exciting and vibrant in the UK’s thriving new music scene, as top DJ Huw Stephens heads to The Blue Room to play a selection of amazing music, both new and old. Huw Stephens was born in Cardiff, Wales, the son of the author and literary journalist Meic Stephens. He joined Radio 1 at the age of 17 in 1999 as part of the station’s new regional output and became the youngest ever Radio 1 presenter. He curates the Introducing Stage, which showcases new unsigned and emerging music at the Reading and Leeds, Glastonbury, One Big Weekend and T in the Park festivals. This is a real boost for the recently reopened venue in Blackpool as it continues to give upcoming local acts a platform to perform and hone their skills locally before heading further
afield. Support will come from Blackpool band ‘The Colours’ who have been making a name for themselves across Lancashire with their (ahem) colourful and danceable indie sound. Huw Stephens: www.musicsoundsbetterwithhuw.com The Colours: www.facebook.com/thecoloursmusic The Blue Room: www.facebook.com/theblueroombpl Friday 5th December, The Blue Room, 139 Church Street, Blackpool, FY1 3NX. 9pm. Tickets £5.50 (Available through SEEtickets. com and Skiddle.com) E-Tickets + Pay On Door available.
Local Volunteer Community Health Champions sought A team of volunteer ‘Community Health Champions’ are being sought by NHS Fylde and Wyre Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG).
Continuing from the success of the previous recruitment campaign we are now looking for a second intake of volunteer ‘Community Health Champions’ to work on projects with NHS Fylde and Wyre Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG). The CHC’s will act as a direct link between local communities and the CCG, helping to shape future services and improve existing ones. These volunteer roles provide an opportunity for local people to gain new knowledge & skills, but more importantly make a real difference within their community. Community Health Champions have the opportunity to make a substantial impact on the future of health care in Fylde and Wyre. Through sharing their own feedback and the experiences of the wider community, the CHC’s have the opportunity to tell the CCG what is working well and what services need to be improved. 44
Anyone living in the Fylde and Wyre area can apply for one of these roles. People living outside of the area who have a direct link to services delivered in Fylde and Wyre may also be considered. An already existing interest in health services is not necessarily essential. To find out more about this volunteer role then contact Christine Carty on 07460 131188, 01253 344398 or email ccg@rpotential.co.uk
