Meals on (different) Wheels
These will no longer be delivered by the WRVS but they will still be delivered and they will be delivered 7 days per week. Those who can manage will get frozen meals once a week, but those who need it will get a hot meal personally delivered, daily.
Extra Help
Many people need extra help when they come out of hospital. Lancashire County Council provide this in the form of a Reablement Service. Often after 6 weeks of intensive support, they are back on their feet and able to cope. If they are not they will be assessed for long term care.
Smoking and Drinking
How many wish they had never started? The age for purchasing tobacco went up to 18 in October. Trading Standards, Environmental Health and the Police have stepped up their test purchasing to see if shopkeepers are willing to break the law. Child volunteers are used under strict supervision and without trying to trap the trader their adherence to the law is tested.
