The local vaccination programme is continuing apace and proving very popular.  

Many thanks to all those NHS staff and many volunteers working so hard to make this such a success!

Local vaccination clinics this weekend

• A number of clinics are offering walk-in vaccinations this weekend

• Those yet to have their jab in the younger age groups are being urged to come forward

• Anyone who is 18 or over is eligible and there is no need to book
  

• The clinics are offering both first and second doses of the vaccines (second doses need to be at least 8 weeks after the first)

Don't miss out!

The first closing date (for the smallest grants) is today.

The closing dates for the remaining three pots are coming up over the next few weeks.

The Community Champions fund is open to West Lancashire voluntary, community, faith, and social enterprise organisations, to support the work they’re doing in helping communities impacted by COVID-19.

Grants range from £1,000 to £25,000.

The main priority areas for the grant scheme are to:

• Help people and communities to recover from the impact that COVID-19 has had on their life
• Improve health and wellbeing - such as helping people to be active
• Support the delivery of important and positive COVID-19 messages
• Reduce isolation
• Support the commitment to a greener West Lancashire

Applications can be for new project ideas or to support existing activities.
