๐ŸŽ„๐Ÿ’š Helfy Elfโ€™s Christmas Kindness โ€” Day 13! ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŽ„

Today, our โ€œHelfy Elfโ€ Elsie has been thinking about being community conscious ๐Ÿค and shining a light on something thatโ€™s especially important at this time of year โ€” homelessness. ๐Ÿ โ„๏ธ

Elsie saw the amazing story of Liam and his buddies, who are raising money for the incredible team over at West End Impact ๐Ÿ™Œ โ€” real community heroes who give warmth, food, safety, and support to those who need it most. โค๏ธ
Liam and his buddies choosing to do something small, but meaningful.

๐ŸŽ…๐Ÿšซ Elsie the Helfy Elfโ€™s Festive Message on Day 12 : DONโ€™T DRINK OR DRUG DRIVE! ๐Ÿšซ๐ŸŽ…
This oneโ€™s simple, but it could save lives โค๏ธ
As the parties ๐ŸŽ‰, nights out ๐Ÿป and celebrations ๐ŸŽ„ roll in โ€” remember:
๐Ÿ‘‰ If you drink or take drugs, donโ€™t drive.
๐Ÿ‘‰ If you drive, donโ€™t drink or take drugs.
๐Ÿš” Operation Limit is running across the UK this December, aiming to stop drug and drink-related tragedies ๐Ÿ’”
Last year alone, police carried out over 2,000 breath tests and made 314 arrests for drink and drug driving ๐Ÿšจ โ€” and sadly, that number keeps rising ๐Ÿ˜”

๐Ÿ’ญ Men aged 20โ€“39 make up more than half of all offenders โ€” often still over the limit the morning after!

So pleaseโ€ฆ
๐Ÿš– Plan your taxi in advance
๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘ง Ask a friend or relative to pick you up
๐Ÿ™ Donโ€™t be tempted. Donโ€™t risk it.
Letโ€™s keep our roads safe this Christmas โค๏ธ๐ŸŽ…

๐Ÿงโ€โ™€๏ธ๐ŸŽ„ Helfy Elf is back with todayโ€™s elf message โ€” and itโ€™s an important one! ๐Ÿ’ฌโค๏ธ

This oneโ€™s all about something that affects every GP surgery and every frustrated patient who needs an appointment but cant get oneโ€ฆ โŒ WASTED APPOINTMENTS! ๐Ÿ˜ž

In October alone, Bay Medical Group had 811 missed appointments ๐Ÿ˜ฑ โ€” thatโ€™s 811 chances for someone else to get the medical care they needed ๐Ÿ’”

We know December is a busy month โ€” parties ๐Ÿฅณ, Christmas films ๐ŸŽ…๐Ÿ“บ, catch-ups with friends โ˜• โ€” but please donโ€™t forget your appointment if you have one booked! ๐Ÿ—“๏ธ

๐Ÿ’ก Elsieโ€™s top tips:
๐Ÿ“ฑ Set a reminder
๐Ÿ“ฉ Canโ€™t make it? Reply โ€œCANCELโ€ to your appointment text reminder
๐Ÿ“ž Or call our dedicated cancellation line โ€“ Option 6
***You can re book if you need to cancel

Every appointment counts ๐Ÿ’š Letโ€™s work together to stop the waste and keep our community helfier! ๐ŸŒŸ

๐ŸŽ…๐Ÿ’š Elsie the Helfy Elfโ€™s Christmas Tip! ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŽ…
Day 9, our โ€œHelfy Elfโ€ is all about something that could save a life โค๏ธ โ€” CPR!
Do you know what to do if someone collapses and isnโ€™t breathing? ๐Ÿค”
Think Vinny Jones style โ€” hands-only CPR to the beat of โ€œStayinโ€™ Aliveโ€ ๐Ÿ•บ๐ŸŽต (those adverts he did were great!).
๐Ÿ’ช But you donโ€™t have to be a superhero to save a life โ€” just knowing the basics could make all the difference.
๐Ÿ‘‰ Check out the British Heart Foundation website for easy-to-follow tutorials โค๏ธhttps://bit.ly/4rT8zOq
๐Ÿ‘‰ And keep an eye out around our community for defibrillators (defibs) โ€” theyโ€™re often closer than you think โšก๐Ÿ’›
Letโ€™s keep each other safe this festive season ๐ŸŽ„

๐ŸŽ„๐Ÿงโ€โ™€๏ธ Helfy Elfโ€™s Christmas message โ€” Day 7! ๐Ÿ’šโœจ
Today, our Helfy Elf Elsie wants to talk about something that can quietly steal your Christmas cheer ๐ŸŽฐ๐Ÿ’ธ โ€” gambling.
With all the extra time that's coming our way over the holidays ๐ŸŽ…๐ŸŽ, it can be tempting to place a few bets โ€œfor funโ€... but itโ€™s easy for that fun to turn into stress, money worries ๐Ÿ’”, and even debt.
Elsie says ๐Ÿ‘‰ โ€œDonโ€™t let gambling take your sparkle this Christmas!โ€ ๐ŸŒŸ
Instead, do something different โ€” get out for a winter walk ๐Ÿšถโ€โ™€๏ธ, meet a friend for a brew โ˜•, volunteer ๐ŸŽ, or find a new hobby ๐ŸŽจ.
Small changes can make a big difference to your wellbeing ๐Ÿ’š

Today, our Helfy Elf Elsie is talking about something that touches so many hearts at this time of yearโ€ฆ ๐Ÿ’” grief.
Christmas can be a beautiful season of love and laughter ๐ŸŽ„โœจ โ€” but it can also be incredibly hard for anyone missing someone special. ๐Ÿ’ญ
Elsie was inspired by the wonderful people at Matilda's Mission ๐ŸŒˆ โ€” who remind us that itโ€™s okay to talk about our loved ones, to cry, to smile, and to keep their memory shining bright. ๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ๐Ÿ’–
In todayโ€™s picture, Elsie is with a photo of her babies ๐Ÿ‘ถ๐Ÿงธ โ€” because love doesnโ€™t end when someone is goneโ€ฆ it just changes form. ๐Ÿ’ซ
