Hello, 

Wednesday lunchtime is when we round-up some of the fantastic things being done by the fine folk of Lancashire. 

A 10-year-old who has fled Ukraine has been gifted a bike by his local police force.

Nikita, from the besieged city of Kharkiv, is now able to get around in Longridge thanks to the town’s neighbourhood policing team, who have used some funding they secured to promote sustainable transport.

Elsewhere, Lancashire’s newest climbing star is a young lad with a great head for heights.

Alexander Watson is just 10 years old. But already he has been selected for the GB (Great Britain) junior climbing team, won an All Nations Bouldering Series event in the spring and this summer took home a gold award.

Then there’s the 91-year-old great-gran who isn't afraid to don a bikini and looks 20 years younger - putting her good looks down to a diet of hearty pub grub.

Thanks for reading, 

Adam
