are extremely proud to be able to support our local Rugby League
club. St Helens did tremendously well in winning the Challenge Cup
and we would like to wish them good luck for the rest of the season.
We sponsored their home coming because we wanted to show our support
for the team. Our vehicles actually share many of the qualities
needed in rugby, including power, performance and control.”

Letters to the Editor:- "In response to Tony Blair’s
announcement"
"In response to
Tony Blair’s announcement on 31 August 2006 about the government’s
Early Intervention plans. There is no doubt there are families who
need support. Some children are being brought up in a family whose
needs are so complex that they are struggling to function. Early
intervention can break this negative cycle of behaviour for good and
prevent the children of struggling parents today being the
struggling parents of tomorrow.
It is important to build on families’ strengths and work intensively
alongside them in the most difficult situations. Support within the
family is the most effective way to change behaviour. A child being
taken into care must be a last resort because children in care have
such poor outcomes. Intensive support can build the confidence and
self esteem of parents, giving them tools to pass onto their
children for years to come." Clare Tickell, Chief
Executive of NCH.
