A Helping Hand

In this section we give you some practical advice on other avenues of support available to you to alleviate some of your fears and anxieties.

Emergency Carers' Schemes

Carers Emergency Schemes provide carers with the reassurance that, should they be involved in an accident or emergency whilst out alone, the person they care for will receive co-ordinated assistance immediately.

Message in a Bottle

The Lions Message In a Bottle scheme is a simple idea designed to encourage people to keep their personal and medical details on a standard form and in a common location - the fridge.

Family and Friends

If family and friends are willing to help out in an emergency make sure you discuss with them in advance what's involved.
