The Family Information Service is here for you!

Many families may be finding the current circumstances difficult and worrying.  Whilst having more time together as a family can be a pleasure, the additional pressures of home schooling, managing your child’s anxiety and not seeing friends and loved ones is a challenge for us all.  We can help you….  We have time to listen to you.  Let us know what is going on for you and what is causing you concern.  No worry is too small or too big for us to support you with.  Once we fully understand your concerns we can think through together how you and your family can overcome your problems.  This may involve us recommending someone else to help you, we may help you access useful websites or resources or we might agree together some practical approaches you can try and call you back to see how you got on.  Unfortunately we are not able to offer legal, financial or medical advice but can always put you in touch with someone who can. How to contact us…. Our ser...

Update of Local Information and Services, from Age UK

Age UK is kindly keeping us up to date with information on services in each area.  We've updated our file each time we receive it but you can find it here. We will have some posters going up in the flats in Paganhill shortly, asking for volunteers to take responsibility for the waterless mops that the Council would like to trial to support cleaning there.  They have reinstated some cleaning, however, which should make things better.  We will also have some more flyers going around with details of how to contact the person for your area. We now have a clear method of recruiting and enrolling volunteers, and as they are interviewed, they will be given ID badges so that you can easily identify them.  They also have a letter to let the police know they are working for us, and a permit for their car, so that you know your neighbours are not just driving around for no reason!  I wanted to introduce some of our volunteers today so that you might know a little mor...

GDASS More victims seeking support as lock-down restrictions ease

More victims seeking support as lock-down restrictions ease   GDASS data is showing a steady increase in numbers of referrals and calls from victims as the lock-down restrictions are relaxed. This is  also being reported by other domestic abuse support agencies countrywide. In the same way that many patients who have worrying symptoms relating to cancer, strokes and heart conditions have not sought advice from their GPs during lock-down due to worries around Covid 19, many victims of abuse have also been riding out the lock-down until a safer time to seek help. For many victims of abuse, the abuse may have worsened or intensified during lock-down. However, victims have been unable to reach out for support due to limitations on seeing family and friends, as well as facing increasing barriers to seeing professionals such as GPs. As the restrictions ease and you see more patients and clients, remember to listen out to those subtle hints about how thi...
