Lemon Aid were grateful to be a part of this fantastic networking event. It was a brilliant opportunity to make and strengthen partnerships with organisations that provide vital support to people across Scotland.

It was also great to have a small insight in to the vital work the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service are doing every day to help make people safer in their homes. Also the extensive training facilities and the work they put in to ensuring everyone is trained to a very high standard to protect people every day.

We look forward to working closely with everyone moving forward to ensure we can support our service users as much as possible.

Carbon monoxide (CO) is called the silent killer because you can’t see, smell or taste it. Help protect your household by fitting audible CO alarms marked BS EN 50291, which will alert you if CO is detected.
