Help Direct - Safe Trader Scheme in partnership with Lancashire County Council Trading Standards
Help Direct's Safe Trader Scheme is funded by Lancashire County Council and managed by Lancashire Trading Standards Service. The service aims to help citizens of Lancashire find a reliable trader, as well as supporting local businesses.
All members of the Safe Trader Scheme have met minimum requirements, set out by the Trading Standards Service and have all committed to adhere to a Code of Practice. Not only does this give you added peace of mind when choosing a trader, but the support of Lancashire Trading Standards Service also means that there's someone to help if things don't go to plan!

At present I hold a luncheon Club at Penwortham Community Centre, Mondays, 11pm. until 1.30. This Year the group sponsored the Penwortham Garden in Bloom, which was a great success and hope next year will be even better.
Last Year I was elected as Mayor of Penwortham, it was exciting and a wonderful experience, meeting lots of interesting people including, children from the local high school, primary school children dancing around the maypole, brings back memories. The monies raised from events held helped the Alzheimer's Galloway for the blind, who received £1000.
£1500 was given to Keys for the homeless (18-25yrs) to help them get on ladder for private renting.
I also do voluntary work with Preston Young Offenders once a week.
The committees and sub-committees I sit on are:
· Education Scrutiny Committee
· County Council
· Health Scrutiny Committee
