The annual Healthwatch Northumberland Survey is available and residents are encouraged to take a few minutes to provide valuable feedback about their experiences of health and social care services in Northumberland over the last year. This will help the authority to set their work priorities for the coming year.

The survey can be accessed at the link https://healthwatchnorthumberland.co.uk/annual-survey-2019-share-your-experiences/

Or a papercopy can be requested by phoning 03332 408468. The survey closes on 14 March, 2019

The Trustees of the Rede, Tyne and Coquet (RTC) Sports Centre in Otterburn are appealing for your help.

The Centre, which is managed by a small group of trustees and volunteers, is in urgent need of additional help to stay open.

Gill Chilvers, the Chair of the Trustees, asks that people with a couple of hours to spare each month would be most welcome. If you have a specific skill relevant to the Centre such as in social media, marketing, planning events such as the Rede River Rocks music festival, maintenance of the grounds, health and safety, fundraising or human resources then these are especially welcome.

But any time or skill you could contribute would help save this important community resource.

For those interested to find out more, the Trustees are hosting an open evening at the Centre on Wednesday, 13 February, between 7pm and 9pm. Food and drinks will be provided.

For further information please contact Gill by email at gchilvers@rtcsports.co.uk

Due to over subcription of the training session before Christmas two more dates have been booked.

These are both to be held in the Village Hall at Byrness. You can find out more details and book a place via the links below
