A Fashion Show is to be held at St. Anne’s Church Hall, Tottington on

Dear All,
It was lovely, yet again to see so many at our weekly Cuppa and Chat session on Thursday afternoon, and some new faces too. We were visited by two members from The Healthwatch Bury group, who are welcoming people to ‘Have their say on local health and social care services’.
Healthwatch visit different areas of Bury to meet with its residents and they will be returning to us in the next 4 to 6 weeks. If you have something to report or make enquiries about please do not hesitate to come to Greenmount Old School between 2 and 4pm on a Thursday afternoon. The date of their next visit will be confirmed in due course. One of the main questions yesterday was ‘Are we having our Flu Jabs at our GP’. The answer to this question is no. You can find more information on this link https://www.bury.gov.uk/index.aspx?articleid=16483
Please note, if you wish to speak to a member of the Healthwatch team, you do not need to be attending a Cuppa and Chat as there will be a separate area available for anyone wishing to speak in private.

Hi all,
I hope the following information is of use to you, please do not hesitate to contact me if you need any clarification or have other questions and I will do my best to help.
Foodbanks
Austin and I visited Ramsbottom Pantry and Brandlesholme Foodbank recently and just wanted to highlight what amazing work the volunteers are doing. Both sites have experienced an increase in demand and anticipate this will increase further as benefits are cut and the impact on individuals as fuel prices and other costs of living are rising.
If you have time to give to helping others and would be interested in helping either cause as a volunteer or via donations, please contact them directly or let me know and I can connect you. Brandlesholme Community Centre are also seeking Trustees, please contact them if you would like to know more.
Vaccination information
There are two attachments regarding the roll out and the latest Covid bulletin which may be of use to you, please share this information with others you are connected with.
What’s happening in Bury North for the community?
We are currently re-mapping out what groups are in Bury North (Elton, Tottington, North Manor and Ramsbottom) so that we can develop an up to date local list so that we can signpost effectively and support groups as best we can. We appreciate that we have had lots of this information in the past via various teams in the voluntary sector and council but appreciate how much may have changed due to the pandemic.
It would be greatly appreciated if you could email an update of what groups / sessions you provide (if any), so that we can include them on the list we are collating.
