An important request to everyone from wildlife and animal organisations
As temperatures exceed levels that our wildlife is used to, especially over the next few days, could we ask people to please leave out bowls of water in our gardens and allotments to help them. It’s also particularly important to leave bowls of water on the ground and in accessible places overnight for hedgehogs and other wildlife to find.
Another important reminder from the RSPCA regarding domestic animals is to please remember not to walk your dogs, especially not on hard (potentially very hot and dry) surfaces, during the heat as this could cause heat stroke or prove fatal.

North Luffenham Good Neighbour Scheme: we need your help.
The North Luffenham Good Neighbour Scheme (NLGNS) was first set up 8 years ago and has provided support to villagers over those years. Many of our original supporters have now left, due to illness or moving away from the village. We had hoped to relaunch just as Covid closed down all activities.
During the lockdown it was the NGNS, partly supported by furloughed villagers, that kept up deliveries of prescriptions and coordinated collections from the local surgeries.
Now many of those volunteers are back at work and only five households support GNS. This is not sufficient to offer help every week since volunteers do not coordinate their holidays or times away.
A meeting to present how the GNS works is being held this Wednesday evening ( June 29th) in the Community Centre at 7pm. It should only take an hour.
Please come and hear about this voluntary scheme which is not too demanding but does fulfil an important function in our community.
