Have you got the bottle?

Message in a Bottle is a simple way for people to keep their essential personal and medical details where they can be found by emergency services. It means that first responders can save valuable time by identifying an individual and knowing if they have any allergies or take any special medication.

Paramedics, police, fire-fighters and social services all support this life-saving initiative and know to look in the fridge when they see the Message in a Bottle stickers displayed in the home.

The free kits are available in the village at Elevenses on 21st February and 21st March,10.30am to 12 noon. If you can’t come to collect one at Elevenses, please contact the Village Voice to request a kit for your home. Elevenses has bought 100 bottles for Cannock Wood and Gentleshaw from Burntwood Lions and will order more if demand is high.
