New Dangers to Watch out For

Someone driving on a rural roadway saw
an infant car seat on the side of the road
with a blanket draped over it.
For whatever reason the person didn't
stop but once at thier destination called
the Police, they said they would check it
out, at the same time the Police advised
there are gangs and thieves plotting
different ways to get a person
(mostly women) to stop their vehicle
and get out of the car.
They place a car seat by the road with
a fake baby in it waiting for a woman
to stop and check on the abandoned baby,
the location is usually beside a wooded
or grassy area and the woman will be dragged
into the woods, beaten, raped,
and usually left for dead.
If it's a man, they're usually beaten and
robbed and left for dead.
DO NOT STOP FOR ANY REASON
DIAL 999 and report it to the police.

If you are driving at night and eggs
are thrown at you windscreen do not
stop to check the car, do not use your
wipers, water mixed with egg goes milky
and will block your vision, you are then
forced to stop and become a victim
of these criminals.

Personalisation – Are You Ready?

A free event will take place on Thursday
9th September, 9:15 – 3:45 at Leigh Sports
Village and will include a free lunch.

Personalisation is a way for people who
use social care services to have greater
choice and control over the services
they receive.
In future, many people will be
allocated their own budget which
they can then use to buy services
of their choice.
In future some health services
will also be open to people to
buy with their own budget.
People and communities are at
the heart of this change and there's
a growing recognition of the
importance of local, community
responses to what people need.

All group trips depend on the funding
being available, if we have to change trips
or take some out, that’s the reason but
we will give as much notice as possible.

We do from time to time have trouble with trip bookings, people want to go, then they don’t, then they do, at times it is costing the group money, money from funds that we can’t afford to waste, because of this we are making a clear procedure for the booking and paying of trips.

1: All closing dates are final; bookings for trips will not be taken after the closing date.

2: All bookings no matter who takes them have to be validated by the bookings officer, at the moment this is Mr Brian Robinson.

3: All trips will be given a final payment date, if you haven’t
paid by the final payment date you won’t be going, you don't have to wait for the final payment date, you can pay before or pay in portions and we will keep a record of your payments.

4: All trips must be paid for in cash, we do not accept cheque's and we don't have a system set up to accept credit cards.

5: If after you pay you find you can’t go and need to cancel we will do our best to recover your money from the venue owners, if only a partial refund can be obtained you will have to understand that we can't cover your loss, the group can not be held responsible for cancellations or for financial losses but we will take every action possible to recover you money.

Please remember, it's up to you
to check for the trips and what's
on and to book them,
we can't do it for you.
We advertise them here as
soon as we can, up to three
months in advance,
and in the next available
issue of the newsletter.
Book by phone on:
07807 210913
Or use the free way, email us on
ccsg.group@hotmail.com
