Think CO success story

The Gas Safe Charity runs free, on line ‘Think CO’ workshops to raise awareness of carbon monoxide (CO) risks in the homes of vulnerable people. They are aimed at those staff and volunteers who provide support in the home. After the training you will be more aware of the sources, signs and symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning and understand what to do if you suspect a CO incident. Earlier this year a member of the North Yorkshire County Council’s reablement team was visiting a client, only a few weeks after attending the Think CO workshop. He spotted a gas fire showing signs that it was not working properly and the client described headaches, nausea and dizziness. After an emergency visit from a Gas Safe registered engineer, the fire was condemned because it was leaking carbon monoxide. This is an example of why this training is so important; it raises awareness and it can save lives.

Community Solutions and One Hounslow Connect Event

Date: Wed 19 May 2021 11:00am-12:00pm

The Community Solutions Offer to residents builds on the success of the CouncilÂ’s Community Hub and the significant collaboration with and across HounslowÂ’s VCSE sector, volunteers and community groups, which was initially in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. Â It is a collaborative model involving cross sector partners, and aims to better connect residents to local activities and services, and to get advice and guidance to enable them to live healthier, happier and more independent lives. Â Residents will be able to access support and information in person at community locations across the borough, via phone, and through the One Hounslow Connect platform (an online information, advice and guidance hub).

Community Solutions represents a real shift from traditional methods of service delivery and we welcome the opportunity to work closely with VCSE partners on its development and delivery. Â Please join us at the Hounslow Voice Network on 19 May to find out more about the Community Solutions approach, One Hounslow Connect, and how your organisation can work with us on it.
