Swine Flu - Can You Help?
Ashton, Leigh and Wigan NHS are looking for volunteers to work as visitors during the present influenza pandemic (swine flu).
They need volunteer help with the following roles:
A) Volunteer Flu Friend – this involves the collection and delivery of medication. (must be CRB checked).
B) Flu Friend Plus – which involves the above plus helping with shopping, walking the dog, etc. (must be CRB checked).
C) Promotion of Self-Reliance – making sure that people are aware that swine flu HAS NOT gone away and letting them know that to access medication they will need to be able to send someone to collect it for them and that they should start to consider this now.
If you feel you could help in any of these roles, then please contact Lynne Calvert on 01942-481725.

Prisoners’ Sunday and Prisons Week
This Sunday is Prisoners’ Sunday - a day of prayer and action for prisoners, their children and families, prison workers, ex-offenders and victims of crime.
The theme of this year’s Prisoners’ Sunday is ‘Hold Fast to Hope’ - a hope that is rooted in the Christian belief that the divine spark is in all people, that no-one is beyond redemption and that change can and does take place.
There will be a Second Collection today for PACT (The Prison Advice & Care Trust) - a charity which provides practical support to prisoners’ children and families, and to prisoners themselves.
