Our BLEED BOX CAMPAIGN has installed emergency bleed packs all around the Metropolitan Borough (e.g. in Silver Street Bury ). Other local Rotary Clubs have joined us together with Bury Lions and other local organisations. We  received the magnificent sum of £7500 from Bury Lions towards more boxes. Many thanks to them!

Some of us are also helping at Tottington Centre with the voluntary library service which replaced that relinquished by the local council in December 2017. The library is open, Mondays to Fridays from 10.00 am to 5 pm (plus Saturday mornings 10-1). There is also a cafe: hours as library, except 10-4 pm weekdays. Rooms are available for hire and there are several activity groups for children and adults.

Whitehead Gardens, Tottington Project.  Proffitts are about to start work very shortly. Eventually, we hope to have a pleasanter park to visit and to make it part of a Tottington History Trail. This small park is a Memorial to those killed by a bomb in WWII at the site.
