Get your Covid booster and flu jabs

Viruses like flu and Covid-19 spread quickly when we’re all crowded together inside. That’s why it is more important than ever to get vaccinated this autumn.

 Your winter vaccines invite should be arriving soon - either by text or a letter in the post. Look out for yours.

Take the Citizens Advice Cornwall survey

CAB Cornwall is seeking the views of people across the county to find out how it can best help them with their needs.*

They'd love to hear from as many people as possible to help them plan and shape their service for the future.

If you can spare 10 minutes, please hit the button below to take the survey.

* Last week's link to the Citizens Advice Cornwall survey was broken so we're including it here again this week with our apologies.

Orange button scheme launched

🟠 People who are struggling with mental ill health, having thoughts of suicide or worried about a friend or family member can now 'push the button' when they see someone displaying a distinctive orange badge and ask for information and support.

The Orange Button is worn by people who have undergone mental health first aid or suicide prevention training. While they are not able to counsel people, they can help you find relevant services.

Leisure centres consultation

There is still time for residents, community groups and organisations to have their say about our draft Leisure Resources Strategy, which includes proposed changes to the provision of leisure centres in Cornwall.
 
The pandemic has had a devasting impact on the leisure sector across the country, and the loss of income due to the pandemic is having a long term impact on how leisure services in Cornwall can be provided in future.
 
You can find out more on the Let’s Talk Cornwall website and complete our online survey. Paper copies are available by calling 0300 1234 100. The consultation closes on 31 October.
