Members of Draycott United Under 14s are
planning a further trip to Uganda in April 2009 to help a local community
level an area of land and create a sports field. The trip follows a
previous visit which took place in September 2007 in which 5 footballers
went over to take stationary and football equipment. A total of
£15,000 is needed to fund the next trip, so the club are seeking donations
and sponsorship. To support the venture, or if you'd like to find
out more, contact Dave Stone on 07856 626812 or Lindsay Stone on 07835

A scheme to make vital medical information
readily available in the event of an emergency is taking off in Erewash,
thanks to funding support from Erewash Borough Council. The ‘Message
in a Bottle’ scheme, which has been organised in Erewash by the Long Eaton
Lions Club, helps individuals who feel most vulnerable to have necessary
medical evidence inside a special bottle in their home, such as:repeat
prescriptions; contact details of carers and/or family members;
information about any pets that need looking after if you get taken into
hospital; and; information on any known allergies.
The scheme also provides the individual with a
sticker for their window to show the emergency services that they have a
‘Message in a Bottle’. The details in the bottle could be of real
assistance to the emergency services as they attempt to assess the medical
situation quickly and accurately. Residents in Breaston,
Draycott, Long Eaton, Risley and Sawley, will benefit from this scheme
thanks to the Long Eaton Lions Club, who obtained part of their funding
from Erewash Borough Council. The funding of £750 was awarded through the
Community and Voluntary Fund.
Long Eaton Lions Club launched ‘Message in
a Bottle’ on 2 October at Sawley Community Hall, from 6.30pm. Councillor
Carol Hart, Deputy Leader and Lead Member for Community Services, said:
“This scheme could be a real comfort to those who live alone and may find
themselves in need of assistance from the emergency services one day.
It will also make the job of
those medical professionals treating patients that bit easier, as they
will have a basic knowledge about a person’s condition and will be able to
make decisions about their immediate care based on this evidence.”
