“Residential fires are devastating, particularly when individuals are unable to escape due to mobility challenges or other risks. We are seeing an increase in fatal fires, and investigations show that some, if not all, of the SAME4 factors have contributed to these tragedies.” - Adam Southcombe, Home Safety Manager, Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service.

On behalf of everyone at Millbrook, we wish Camilla all the best and would like to thank her for her years of dedication to GHC😊

Goodbye and Good Luck, Camilla! 💐
After eight years with GHC, we’re saying farewell to our nurse practitioner Camilla, who is heading off on new adventures.
Camilla has been a vital part of our team, providing exceptional care and support to patients with long-term conditions and women’s health needs. She has also played a key role in our seasonal vaccination programme, helping to keep our community healthy year after year.
Her compassion, professionalism, and care will be greatly missed by everyone here at GHC. Camilla would like to say a heartfelt thank you to all the patients who have shared such kind words and thoughtful gifts as she moves on.
We wish her every success and happiness in this next chapter — she will always be part of the GHC family. 💜

Carymoor is an environmental education charity based on a former landfill site near Castle Cary. They have regular volunteer groups that help us maintain and manage the site for wildlife. Their friendly volunteer groups help with wildlife monitoring, practical conservation tasks, preparing resources for our education team and helping with maintenance of the site.

They also run a number of courses in partnership with Somerset Council which are funded for anyone with a mental health need or on low income. They offer willow weaving courses, family Wild Tots, practical outdoor courses such as Scything and Hedgelaying and educational courses such as Wildflower ID. These, and other Community Learning courses, can be booked via this website https://www.stepupsomerset.org.uk/
