Bury Pipeline ( Talking Newspaper ) Volunteers

Good Morning

Ian George, the Treasurer for our local talking newspaper, Bury Pipeline, is asking for help.

For the last 40 years volunteers at Bury Pipeline have recorded articles from The Bury Times for the blind and partially sighted.

They have recently restarted their recording activities following the pandemic. Unfortunately during this time they have lost some of their volunteers.

They are looking for help on Thursday pm/Fridays am, usually once a month for a couple of hours at Tottington Library ( on a 4 week rota basis). If anyone is interested, please contact Ian,  [email protected] and he can provide more information on the roles they are looking for help with.

Healthwatch

Dear All,

Just to confirm the attendance of Healthwatch Bury at the Cuppa and Chat session this week from 2 – 4pm, to follow up on booster/flu jabs and support residents with any other concerns they may have.

They also have two new surveys that you may be interested in completing:

  1. Urgent Care Survey- a short survey for those who have used urgent care services recently.
  2. Financial Assessment Survey- a longer survey for those who have had a financial assessment by Bury Council.

I have attached copies of both surveys for you to review. You do not have to be attending Cuppa and Chat, just turn up if you wish to speak to anyone from Healthwatch. You may want to complete the survey attached and drop it off at The Old School Thursday afternoon.

Kind Regards,

Julie Southworth

Ramsbottom Pantry at Christ Church

Dear All,

As a community organisation, we strive to help residents as much as we can. John and I have recently been meeting with other groups across North Bury with a view to working together to ensure the health and wellbeing of our communities. This may be in the form of helping to publish events or activities which are taking place to enrich the lives of our residents.

As you are aware we often put out information regarding our local foodbanks, Porch Boxes and Brandlesholme Community Centre. We also wish to make you aware of the Ramsbottom Pantry who are based at Christ Church and Neighbourhood Centre, Great Eaves Road, Ramsbottom BL0 0PX.

Below is an overview of their activities:

  • The Pantry is always in need of donations of food and other items. If you know of any groups that might be interested in collecting, let me know and I’ll provide details.
  • If anyone doesn’t have enough money to buy food from a supermarket, we can help them.
  • If anyone is feeling a bit isolated and lonely and would like a coffee, cake and a chat then encourage them to come to the cafe in church, open from 10:00am to 12:00 each Thursday morning, where they’ll receive a warm welcome.

Best Wishes

Julie Southworth
