New Charity To Help Residents With Financial Problems
Residents of the Long Eaton area who are struggling with issues such as debt and bankruptcy are to be helped after a local charity extended coverage into the area. Citizens Advice Bureau, based in South Street, Ilkeston, has now opened an outreach office at Dovedale Primary School, Dovedale Avenue in New Sawley, open between 9:30am and 12:00noon on the 1st, 3rd and 5th Tuesday of each month. The branch costs £100,000 a year to operate, funded by the Borough Council, the County Council and the Big Lottery Fund.

Local People Urged To Raise Funds To Help Give A Local Church A New Lease Of Life
Long Eaton and Sawley people are being urged to help raise £200,000 to help a church which is falling into disrepair. In 1997, the congregation of All Saints’ Church in Sawley collected £15,000 to repair the spire, but stonework on the tower of the Grade 1 listed building needs restoring and the roof needs replacing. Church staff are seeking all forms of funding, but are concerned about stonework which needs urgent work to stop the structure becoming unsafe. The church dates back to the 13th century and has a congregation of over 130 people.
Message In A Bottle
A scheme to make vital medical information readily available in the event of an emergency is taking off in Erewash, thanks to funding support from Erewash Borough Council. The ‘Message in a Bottle’ scheme, which has been organised in Erewash by the Long Eaton Lions Club, helps individuals who feel most vulnerable to have necessary medical evidence inside a special bottle in their home, such as:repeat prescriptions; contact details of carers and/or family members; information about any pets that need looking after if you get taken into hospital; and; information on any known allergies.
