Donation station available at Beechwood, thank you for all your donations so far ❤️

Huge thank you to everyone who has donated to our food drive so far — your generosity is already making a real difference for families in need. ❤️

We’re off to a strong start, but we’re not done yet! Demand is higher than ever, and we still need more non-perishable items like canned goods, pasta, rice, and cereal.

If you’re able, please consider adding a little extra to your next grocery trip or spreading the word by sharing this post. Every contribution, big or small, helps feed a family in our community.

Thank you for caring. Let’s keep the momentum going! 🙌🥫

With Bonfire Night fast approaching, it’s important to know how to respond to burns.

Recognising whether a burn is superficial, partial thickness, or full thickness can help you provide the right first aid promptly. 💥

We hope everyone enjoys themselves whilst staying safe! If you see our volunteers, be sure to give them a wave! 👋

Due to high demand on our services please consider how you can keep yourself and those around you well at home.

💊 Ensure your repeat prescriptions are ordered, and consult with pharmacists if you need help managing medications.

❌ Cancel any appointments that are no longer needed - these can be made available to those who need them.

🚨 Please remember you may be seen quicker at a more appropriate service and it keeps our emergency department and ambulances for serious or life threatening illnesses or accidents.

➡️ Consider visiting a Pharmacy, Urgent Treatment Centre, or using NHS 111. For children, check the Alder Hey Symptom Checker.

🩵 We'd like to thank everyone who continues to use our health services wisely 🩵
