Care Home Friends - Befriending and Connecting
Would you like to make a difference in the lives of local care home residents?
www.carehomefriends.org.uk
Research shows that care home residents are twice as likely to feel severely lonely as older people living at home. There are about 75 care homes on the Island and over 100 churches. Our vision is to see every care home adopted by a local church, with each church co-ordinating a Care Home Friends project, so that we can raise up an army of trained volunteers to befriend and support care home residents.
All it needs is one person in each church with a heart for older people who can recruit and co-ordinate two or three volunteers. Together we can make an enormous difference in the lives of some of the oldest and frailest members of our community.

Mobile Recycling Dates for the Summer
MOBILE RECYCLING ON THE
MOVE FOR SUMMER
The
mobile household waste recycling centre (MHWRC) is on the road again this
summer. New dates and a new venue have been added to the latest timetable; for
the first time, Niton will also be visited.
The first visit to Niton will be on 10 May, with the MHWRC located in the Norris Stores car park.
The MHWRC will be at each venue between 10am and 2pm, and will accept a set list of recyclable items. A full list of what the MHWRC can accept is found on www.iwight.com/waste under the Recycling Centres section. It will not accept garden waste or general mixed/black bag waste or wood.
Paul Southall, account director for Amey, said: “The mobile household waste recycling centre has been well received by residents, and we are pleased to be able to add a new venue in Niton. We are sure it will be welcomed by residents in the village.”
Should any other areas want to welcome the MHWRC, they should get in contact by emailing waste.contract@iow.gov.uk so the council, in partnership with Amey, can review any potential new area.
