Work with NHS colleagues across two counties to enable them to be ready to deliver a COVID-19 vaccination programme.   The NHS are seeking great volunteers to work as stewards at local vaccination centres which will be open from 8.00am-8.00pm seven days a week. 

If you are interested in joining this unique new team please contact us by email: epunft.recruitment.covid-19@nhs.net.  Please see the web page for full details: https://eput.nhs.uk/about-us/working-at-eput/vaccine-recruitment/

 An invitation to come and Kahoot! with us

                                                                                                             

For those of you who don’t know about Kahoot, it is simply a quiz.  As we haven’t been albe to hold our Footsteps Multi-cultural Banquet fundraiser this year, we decided to have an online quiz instead. 
 
Why not come along and join us on Friday December 11th  @ 6.30pm  No need to organise a team, you can simply come as yourself, catch up on news from Footsteps and enjoy the quiz.

We will be meeting on Zoom, so you will need access to that.  Please let us know if you need any instructions for how to use Zoom.  Ideally you will also have a second device, like a mobile phone, where you have your Kahoot screen.  You can simply go to Kahoot.com, or on a phone download the free Kahoot app, and you are ready to play.  If that isn’t possible, please don’t worry.  We can link you with someone else and you can join in the fun by texting or phoning them with your answers to the questions (let us know in advance if you’d like to do this).
There is no charge to come and join the fun and all are welcome.  However, we are receiving donations from any who are able to contribute to our work of providing counselling to 11 -25 year olds.  

Please contact Jo or Christine if you would like to join us and we will send you the Zoom details.

Home, but not alone 

 The Home, But Not Alone phoneline, which supports vulnerable people in our communities who may be struggling with the impact of Coronavirus, is now live again.  The service was paused in August because of low call demand and the lifting of Covid-19 restrictions. However, the service is now up and running again.
The telephone number is freephone 0800 876 6926 and will be staffed from 9.00am to 5.00pm Monday to Friday.   The success of the service relied on the amazing local networks that sprung up across towns and villages in Suffolk and looked after those most in need.
