Our next Grief Cafe session is running next Monday (November 16th) from 2:30pm til 3:30pm. Come along for a cuppa and meet people with shared lived experiences. You can share, or just sit and listen. This is not a therapy space, but somewhere to find peer-support. Maybe you are struggling with a bereavement or loss of a relationship, experiencing health challenges or the grief of forced migration. This is a space where all are welcome to take up space. You can register here: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/e/P6qyHjtPjE

It’s Test It Tuesday! Making sure you have working smoke & heat alarms could save your life. Test them weekly to make sure if fire does break out everyone in your home has time to get out safely.

The Scottish National Blood Transfusion Service (SNBTS) has written to hospitals across Scotland to issue an ‘Amber Alert.’

This is due to a national blood shortage. There is specific pressure on group O blood stock levels and a national shortage of blood donors.

All donors, but particularly O negative and O positive donors, are asked to urgently book and fill appointments across Scotland in the coming days, weeks and months.

Appointments are available for booking until the New Year and can be booked on www.scotblood.co.uk or by calling 0345 90 90 999.

Is your vehicle insurance up to date - and does it cover how you use your vehicle?

This week, we’re supporting Operation Drive Insured, a UK-wide campaign with Drive Insured and police forces to tackle uninsured driving and help keep our roads safe.

Our officers will be carrying out checks and taking action against those driving or riding without insurance.

Before you set off, check that your policy is valid, covers you as a driver or rider, and includes the journeys you make. If you’re unsure, contact your insurer.

Find advice from the Motor Insurers’ Bureau in the comments ⬇️
