We help with claim preparation and form filling.

🔹Contact us early. You might need to ask for an extension of your deadline date.
🔹Gather your medical evidence together.
🔹Make sure you know your NI number, personal details, GP and bank details.
🔹We ask for a suggested donation of over £30 as we do not receive any funding for this service.

It’s hunt the Monster October in Longridge in aid of Headway Central Lancashire and Longridge Brownies.
A big thank you to Apricot Sulphur Design. We can’t wait to go and see all the monsters 👹

🔹Monster sheets available from G Rowles butchers PR3 3RJ

👹 ARE YOU TAKING PART IN THIS YEAR’S CHARITY MONSTER HUNT?! 👹

It’s nearly time… and this year we have OVER 50 MONSTERS hiding all around Longridge! 👀🧌

The hunt will run throughout THE WHOLE OF OCTOBER, so get your monster-hunting shoes ready! 😂👣

I’ll be explaining everything properly in a reel next week while I’m out and about painting all of the amazing monsters designed by local children! 🎨🧑‍🎨

But for now, here’s everything you need to know…

📋 Monster hunt sheets are available from 1st October from:
📍 .rowles_butchers_and_deli
📍 Karen Jayne Hudson

The sheets are £5, with money raised going towards Liz Bamber and the Longridge Brownies ❤️

Once you’ve got your sheet, head out around Longridge, find the monsters and write down their numbers! 👀 then drop it back off to one of the two shops.

AND there’s a chance to win an AMAZING sweet hamper, currently on display at Rowles Butchers, PLUS a Halfords gift voucher! 🍭🎁🫶🏻

I’ll be out painting the monsters all over Longridge this week, so if you spot me… come and say hello! 👋🏼😂

I genuinely cannot wait to see everyone getting involved with this one. It’s going to be a BIG October! 👹❤️
