Winterton Care Campaign Group recently held a Hustings giving residents an opportunity to ask the Police and Crime Commissioner candidates questions on a variety of policing issues.
The Winterton Care Campaign Group held its AGM in November and is continuing the distribution of Winter Survival Kits. For details contact us via email [email protected] or ring 733441. At our last meeting, we received donations of £178 from Winterton Medical Practice & £40 from Stuart Maw Santa visits. We are most grateful to have received such support and to see that our work is obviously considered to be so beneficial to our local elderly vulnerable residents. We must also thank everyone who has donated items to the can scheme at the Winterton Co-op store. The amount donated was far more than last year. We were quite surprised to find 2 large packs of dog food which we were unable to use but we can assure the donor that these items have now found their way to Jerry Green Dog Rescue. Distribution of donated items is under way. Following the Big Lottery Award of £3685 we have now completed the purchase of equipment and waterproof clothing for our snow clearers. Four red grit bins have been purchased, they are 350 litres in size and labelled as Winterton Care Campaign Group. List of areas to place new bins have been identified but final location of these 4 has to be finalised with the Council. It is most unfortunate that our efforts to care for this community have been hampered by the actions of some individuals who have targeted grit bins already in place and wasted the supply of much needed grit. It has become obvious to many that Winterton has a lot of anti-social behaviour with a lot of residents unhappy with the situation. Winterton Care Campaign Group has now set up a Public Meeting to be held on Wednesday 9th March 2016 at 7.30pm in Winterton Methodist Church. Matthew Grove, the Police and Crime Commissioner has accepted our invitation to attend and meet with residents to hear their concerns. If you are unable to attend, we will accept questions in writing to be read on the night. Email [email protected] or ring 733441. Winterton Care Campaign Group is keeping its promise to make Winterton a place where people in advancing years will not fear isolation and loneliness. We should be able to report on our latest project in the next OAAIW issue as for the moment this is “Currently Embargoed”. Watch this space! KEEPING OUR PROMISE Winterton Care Campaign Group is keeping its promise to make Winterton a place where people in advancing years will not fear isolation and loneliness especially during the winter months. We are continuing the distribution of Winter Survival Kits and keeping our list of addresses for snow clearing up to date. We would encourage residents over 60 who are vulnerable during the cold weather to get in touch so we can assist them. DON’T DELAY! GET IN TOUCH BEFORE THE SNOW ARRIVES! For more details contact us via email [email protected] or ring 733441. This year we will be able to provide an even better service thanks to a fantastic Big Lottery Award amounting to £3685 which is allowing us to purchase further equipment and waterproof clothing for our snow clearers. We would also like to thank Niall Cooney for donating a snow blower to add to our stock of equipment. We are most grateful to people who have left monies in our collecting tins at the Butchers Arms (£31.55) and at Jason Gray’s (£25.82). Jason is also supporting our cause even further this year. He will hold his usual famous Christmas raffle commencing last week in November and the draw will take place on the 15th December. The raffle will include a top of the range COPAS turkey. There are no strings attached! People are not asked to make a purchase in the shop in order to get an entry into the raffle. Just pop in, buy a raffle ticket and win a valuable prize for your Christmas lunch. All proceeds will be donated to the Care Campaign. Stuart Maw will be once again our chief snow clearer and we will work in partnership with Winterton Town Council. Stuart has negotiated another partnership between the Co-op and the Winter Support Fund. A tub is to be located in the Winterton Co-op store so people can donate to a can scheme. These will be distributed to all those on the snow list. Stuart is also continuing fund raising for the cause and is taking bookings for Santa’s home visits. Choose between the Standard Visit which includes the chance to present Santa with a letter or a Premier Visit which also includes an early gift. Santa will be available for visits between 1st December till 20th December from 4pm. For standard visit, a minimum £10 donation is requested. Each additional gift is £5. To make a booking, contact Santa’s little helpers Stuart or Susan Maw to discuss your requirements. Call 07796 181649. Money raised will go to the Winterton Care Campaign Group’s Winter Support Fund. |
