Karen from Age UK Teesside joined us here in the Town Hall this morning to chat to residents about the Warm home initiative. This runs until March. If you were unable to attend but would like to chat to Karen about what help is available to you, you can call her on the telephone number in the poster. Karen is a great source of advice and happy to help. She was also telling us about the Age UK website, it even has an online charity shop! Or if you are having a clear out you can arrange collections from them. https://www.ageuk.org.uk/teesside/

Tomorrow in Loftus Town Hall, please spread the word and come along to find out how to help keep warm this winter.

This Wednesday in Loftus Town Hall at 10am, Age UK will be attending to hold a Warm Homes project session. The session can cover available support, eligibility criteria, energy-saving advice, and guidance on accessing grants and assistance.

A home energy check is also included in the Warm Homes programme, a trusted handyperson will visit the home to check how energy efficient it is. The handyperson can fit appropriate equipment to increase the energy efficiency. This includes things like: energy saving light bulbs, draught excluders and reflective radiator panels. They can also offer practical tips to help keep the fuel bill down.

All welcome. Please be reminded that the Town Hall is currently undergoing renovation works and there is no disabled access ramp at present.

Please see attached and below details of the free NHS Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm screening programme and information about the condition.

Calling all men of the North East

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms (AAA) are a weakening in the aorta (the main artery in your body) that can swell and rupture causing fatal internal bleeding. They usually don’t have symptoms and are most common in men aged over 65.

AAA screening is a free NHS national programme that invites men in the year they turn 65, to attend a quick and painless 10 minute ultrasound scan.

You will receive your invitation through the post when you’re eligible. Please DON’T ignore it. It could save your life!

If you need to rearrange your appointment give us a call on: 0191 445 8747

The North East of England and North Cumbria AAA screening service is hosted by Gateshead Health NHS Foundation Trust but you will be invited to a clinic local to where you live for your scan. In Teesside we screen at the following locations

Lawson Street Health Centre, Stockton
North Ormesby Village Resolution Health Centre
One Life Primary Care Centre, Hartlepool
Redcar Primary Care Centre

An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a bulge or swelling in the aorta. Screening for AAA is offered to all men aged over 65.
