Bleed Control Kit
We've now received our Bleed Cabinet and its Bleed Control Kit to go with our Defibrilator. The cabinet and kit were donated by Leo's Fundraiser with The Daniel Baird Foundation in memory of young Leo Ross. It was supplied and installed by Turtle Medical. Lets hope it'll never be needed.
If you do need to use the bleed control kit or the defibrillator, please call the emrgency services on 999 and quote the location reference given on the cabinets themselves to gain access.
If you would like to support this wonderful charity you can donate through Leo's GoFundMe page, or direct with the Daniel Baird Foundation Donation page.
Celebrate Fairtrade
As we start a new year as a Fairtrade church, it is inspiring to look at Fairtrade’s wrap up video for 2024. It highlights the incredible achievements brought to life through the stories of farmers, workers, partners, campaigners, and supporters like all of us at Immanuel.
Little Dots Play Village is at Immanuel Church on Monday and Friday mornings.

RISE UP!
RISE UP! is a new campaign from The Mothers’
Union. It aims to raise awareness and
understanding about domestic abuse.
In support of this campaign, and in line with
Immanuel’s own policy on domestic abuse, you will see a poster on the noticeboard with the local helpline number. Please raise awareness of this.
Take Five is a national campaign that offers straight-forward and impartial advice to help people protect themselves from financial fraud. Fraudsters will use many tactics to obtain money or financial information from us. Be extremely wary of unsolicited phone calls claiming that there is an issue with your bank account or requesting assistance with an ongoing bank or police investigation.
Remember not to share your PIN, bank card, or withdraw money or buy items on behalf of a stranger, no matter who they say they are. For more information visit takefive-stopfraud.org.uk
