Flu can be serious, especially as you get older. The flu vaccine helps reduce your risk of becoming seriously ill or needing hospital treatment.

But this protection reduces over time and the types of flu virus the vaccine protects against are updated each year. This is why it's important to get the flu vaccine every year

If you’re 65 or over, you can get a free NHS flu vaccine.

Book via your GP, pharmacy or the NHS App ➡️ nhs.uk/bookflu

160 years of Swinton Lions! 💙

Founded on 20 October 1866, Swinton Lions RLFC celebrates its 160th anniversary today.

As Salford marks 100 years as a city, we’re also celebrating a club that’s been part of our story.

Happy anniversary to everyone at Swinton Lions RLFC- players, staff, volunteers and generations of supporters 👏

🦁💙 HAPPY 160TH BIRTHDAY, SWINTON LIONS! 🎉

On this day in 1866, the foundations of the Swinton Lions club that we know today were first laid.

At a meeting held at the old St Peter’s School, the men of Swinton Cricket Club decided to form a rugby football section to keep themselves occupied during the winter months.

This event was reported in the Parish Magazine, and marks the beginning of the incredible 160 years of history which have followed.

So a happy 160th birthday to us, and thank you everyone for your amazing loyal support, which has helped us to achieve this wonderful milestone! 🦁💙

📸 The old St Peter’s School where the 1866 meeting took place. Later became Swinton Labour Club and was demolished in the late 1960s to make way for the new precinct development.

💷 Fly-tipping isn’t just an eyesore, it’s a waste of money for everyone.

Councils spend up to £150 million every year clearing illegally dumped rubbish.
That’s money that could otherwise help fund vital public services such as 🏫 schools, 🌳 parks, 🏥 hospitals and 🫶 social care.

Keep Britain Tidy’s latest research found councils estimate rogue traders and commercial operators are responsible for more than a third of fly-tipping incidents.
So if you’re offered a cheap deal, check who you’re paying to take your rubbish away.

Protect yourself. Protect your community. Protect your local environment.
