Supporting Arthur Rank by recycling your Christmas tree - "Start the year with a warm feeling in your heart – not only will your tree be recycled for you, you’ll be helping support your local hospice at the same time! This January save yourself the stress after the festivities and let our wonderful volunteers come and collect your tree for you, in return for a donation to Arthur Rank Hospice Charity. The Arthur Rank Hospice Charity has been operating a Christmas Tree Recycling Scheme for ten years, and in this time over £300,000 has been raised. In 2025 we want to grow the scheme even more and would love to collect to your tree!"

NHS Pharmacy First Service - Information from the NHS
Did you know that the NHS Pharmacy First Service enables children and adults to get convenient access to healthcare advice and treatment where appropriate, for seven common conditions without the potential delay of having to wait for a GP appointment?
Accessing the service may mean that we can help children feel better and get back to school as quickly as possible, as well as supporting parents/carers to also get better if they are unwell with one of the conditions covered under the service.
There is no need to make an appointment; parents or carers can pop into their local Boots pharmacy with their child and ask for help under the service.
Support for the following conditions can be accessed under the service, free of charge (unless NHS prescription charges apply):
