RAISE THE FLAG FOR ARMED FORCES DAY – JUNE 19TH 2023

Monday 19th June 2023 – 10:00 am

Grounds of Oakham Castle,
Market Place, Oakham, LE15 6DR

 

A brief flag raising ceremony to mark the start of the week leading up to Armed Forces Day is taking place in the grounds of Oakham Castle on Monday 19th June. This year the flag will be raised by personnel from 1 Military Working Dogs Regiment based at St George’s Barracks.

This annual event in the Rutland calendar follows the success of the first ever national Armed Forces Day in 2009. Traditionally the Armed Forces Flag is raised on Government buildings and landmarks at 10.30 am at the start of the week leading up to Armed Forces Day itself, which this year is the 24th June.

Please arrive at Oakham Castle at 10:00 am to enable us to gather before the short ceremony starts at 10.20 am.

There is no need to confirm your attendance; this event is open for all members of the community to attend.

Due to the event taking place outside, parking will not be permitted in the Castle Grounds

FOR RUTLAND GRAND BOTTLE TOMBOLA

The For Rutland Grand Bottle Tombola
Sunday 4th June 2023
at The Rutland Showground

 

Dear Friends & Neighbours,

We are looking for donations of bottles of any type from lemonade to Lambrini, shampoo to champagne or beer to bubble bath for our Tombola.

Why? – For Rutland raises funds for Citizens Advice Rutland (Reg Charity No 1107907) to pay for Specialist Advisers who provide non-medical advice to people of all ages living with long-term health conditions in Rutland and the surrounding community.

Since June 2014 when For Rutland was formed our Specialist Advisers have returned on average £1m per year in grants, debt write-offs and benefit funding to those living with conditions such as cancer, dementia, heart disease, multiple sclerosis and mental illness.

Without this specialist knowledge available on our High Street, we believe many people would not be able to gain access to the support they need.  By donating your bottles to For Rutland, you are helping to keep this vital service in our community.

SO PLEASE GIVE GENEROUSLY

Please leave any  bottles or donation with Liz Simpson at New House, Main Street  or in their greenhouse.

Bottles and donations can also be left at the following village locations

Before Tuesday 30th May
Barrowden Community Shop
Cottesmore Post Office & Shop
Edith Weston Village Store
Ketton Post Office & Shop
Market Overton Store
Barbara’s Store Empingham
The Fox at North Luffenham
The Blue Ball at Braunston

Please make any cheques payable to: ‘For Rutland’

Also you can drop off at :
John Porters Dry Cleaning in Oakham
OR
Nelsons Butchers Shop in Uppingham

 

MANY THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT

NHS LEICESTER, LEICESTERSHIRE & RUTLAND INTEGRATED CARE BOARD

Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Integrated Care Board
5-Year Joint Forward Plan

 

Organisations in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland are working on a five-year plan for health and care services. The NHS Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Integrated Care Board (LLR ICB), which includes our NHS Trusts (University Hospitals of Leicester and Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust), is responsible for the development and delivery of the Plan over the next 5 years – 2023/24 to 2027/28.

With the support of a range of stakeholders, we have drafted a 5-Year Joint Forward Plan. We have used insights and experiences of patients, carers, staff, clinicians, service users, voluntary, community and social enterprises and the public received over the last few years, to provide us with 5-Year Joint Forward Plan a good understanding of what matters most to local people.  This information has been used to shape and influence our plan, to ensure that we improve the health and wellbeing of our local people.

We have also produced a summary slide presentation outlining the key aspects of the plan that will practically transform the delivery of NHS care to improve performance and outcomes, reduce inequity in health and healthcare, and achieve financial sustainability.

Your views

We would now like to engage on the draft 5-Year Joint Forward Plan as part of our commitment to working with people and communities.

  • Visit our website where you will find the draft 5 Year Joint Forward Plan and the link to a short survey.
  • Email your comments to llricb-llr.strategyandplanningteam@nhs.net
  • Write to the ICB at Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Integrated Care Board, Strategy and Planning Team, Room G30, Pen Lloyd Building, County Hall, Glenfield, Leicester, LE3 8TB.

The engagement closes on Wednesday 7 June 2023.  All the feedback will be brought together into a Report of Findings, which we will publish and use to influence the next version of the 5-Year Joint Forward Plan.

We look forward to hearing your feedback.

 

Yours sincerely

Andy Williams                                    David Sissling,
