Scaffolders support Chairity
Once again Mitchells scaffolding in lancashire rose to the occasion at a local charity event organised by Oakleigh Dental Centre in Oswaldtwistle. The event took place at the newly refurbished Trickys public house on Thwaites Road.
Mitchell’s sponsored the event providing a wagon for decoration with bunting and banners to promote the event. Providing the sacks for racing and on the ground support throughout the night with the scaffolders in burnley and blackburn manning the various tombola’s and stalls.
The night was a great success with over £600 raised, egg and spoon, sack and three legged races aimed at adults and children all added to the fun.
As ever the competitive nature of scaffolders came to the fore as the staff vied for first place in all the racing.

Rochdale College
The extensive scaffolding requirements at the main entrance to Rochdale College posed a numbers of access issue.
The objective to ensure safe and continuous access for college students and members of the faculty.
The finished scaffold has created a safe and people freindly rout too the main campus and allows the main contractor a safe platform to work on.
Create a temporary disabled access.
Erect cradle support above entrance.
Link disabled ramp to access the entrance spanning the sunken service road.
All aspects of the work undertaken allowed the college to operate with minimum disruption during this very busy time.
Working very closely with the main contractor Mitchell's ensured that the time scale was appropriate to both the college and contractor needs.
Extensive beam work spanning the entrance foyer and patioed areas had to be put in place forming a cradle over the entrance before work could begin cutting away the existing handrail.
The spanning of the service road required the use heavy duty steel ladder beam, additional handrails, the structure to be boarded out prior to the addition of Ply wood, removing any potential trip hazard and finaly a none slip cover is to be added for pedestrians.
Once complete the link had to be made from the temporary wheelchair / disabled ramp.
The linking of all 3 aspects called for accurate workmanship with no tollerance for any deviation to the design.
The overall covering required smooth precession joints from the scaffold boards to allow plywood facing to be laid prior to the anti slip top covering being laid.

Mitchells Help Raise money for Madison Allan
Raffel Tickets Prizes and clothes donated by Coronation Street stars raised more than £2,000 for The Madison Allan Appeal on 9th October 2010.
Mitchells Scaffolding workers and former chairman of Darwen’s local business association Andy McAllister, helped out providing security in the shape of black tie and tuxedo-clad, they also helped out selling raffel tickets raising money at the event.
Actress Shobna Gulati, who plays Sunita Alahan in the ITV soap, collected dresses, tops and accessories from fellow Corrie cast members and sold them at a stall in Darwen Market.
Madison, six, of Lord’s Crescent, Lower Darwen, needs money to pay for treatment outside the UK for her rare form of cancer, neuroblastoma.
An appeal to pay for last-chance treatment has so far raised £62,000, but more is needed.
Shobna, who has been a friend of Madison since she was first diagnosed with stomach cancer aged 10 months, sold hundreds of her own items.
Shobna said: "Maddi needs these vital funds to continue her life saving treatment. She is a very brave girl who deserves a chance at life back home with her family in Darwen."
Customers were treated to five-minute celebrity style consultations from glamour guru Armand Beasley, who has worked on Gok Wan’s How To Look Good Naked.
And the day ended with a raffle of Coronation Street 50th anniversary memorabilia, including Stan and Hilda's flying ducks and limited edition prints of Deidre behind bars.
The Madison Allan Appeal.

The Youth Group based at Darwen Vale High School, Lancashire meet every Wednesday, to learn the techniques for screen acting with Scott Wright of Coronation Street, Manchester fame heading the Group.
Mitchell’s had the opportunity to support the group according to Spokes person Karen Turner and became involved thanks to Granddaughter Ashley Turner’s involvement with the group.
Business Executive, Karen Turner, pictured being presented with the award .
Karen said “the day was a great success and being awarded second prize was the icing on the cake” the youth group and Mitchell's worked very hard to put together the float.
Christine Hargreaves, family member and friend, said they were only able to begin dressing the wagon that morning. And due to the distance had to take the vehicle to the start up point before they could begin but the end result had been worth the effort.
