In an effort to support those members of our community who are currently self-isolating, due to the COVID-19 coronavirus, Muckhart Community Council fully endorses and supports the Church’s Muckhart Lend a Hand initiative.

If you would like to help and support those members of our community, less able to cope with the current situation, then please complete and submit the on-line Support Form.

The Support Form can be found under Local Groups or through this link – http://176.32.230.19/muckhart.org.uk/covid-19-muckhart-lend-a-hand/

On behalf of our community, many thanks, in advance, for your support.

With the ongoing escalation of the COVID-19 virus, and the undoubted impact it will have on our community, MCC is looking at ways in which we can help to support local initiatives focussed on helping the more vulnerable residents within our community.

We hope soon to be providing a ‘registration facility’ on the MCC web-site where local volunteers can sign-up to offer their support on-line and plan to co-ordinate these efforts with other groups and initiatives within the community. We are also considering providing an on-line ‘help request’ facility, to be used by any residents who may require support, and how best to co-ordinate any support requests that may come in.

In the meantime, the CTSi has provided a community health guide (please see below) of services and organisations who might be able to provide some sort of assistance  within the constraints of the Government and NHS guidelines.

We’ve launched our latest solution to tackle Dog Fouling!

‘DO IT FOR YOUR DOG’

This weekend 11 million viewers watched the 2020 Crufts Best in Show wire-haired Dachshund  ‘Maisie’ do what dogs do and take a toilet break on her victory lap of the NEC arena.

Her owner Kim McCalmon came well prepared and immediately scooped up the mess with a bag. If only all dog owners would follow in Kim’s footsteps and act so responsibly! But sadly we know all too well that this isn’t the case.

Our latest research into Dog Fouling found that 15% of dog owners admit to letting their dog poop in a public place without picking up, leading to 76% of adults stepping in dog poop in their lifetime.

This is why we’ve launched our latest campaign to tackle this noxious problem. The campaign features dogs as the messenger, appealing directly to dog lovers and leveraging the levers of both pride and shame to remind owners to pick-up their poop because it’s what their dog would want them to do.

Get in touch with our Network team today to find out more about how the campaign can help tackle Dog Fouling in CLACKMANNAN and make sure more dog owners know to Bag it & Bin it for their dogs!

Please send any enquiries to:
network.enquiries@keepbritaintidy.org

Do you (or does someone you know) live with myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME)?

If so, the Scottish Health Council is looking for people who are living with a diagnosis of ME to give their views about what support they would like to see in place.

These views will be used to help the Scottish Government to address particular gaps in knowledge and understanding about the care and support needs of those who are affected.

If you would like to be involved in this piece of work, you can complete an online survey at: www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/MyalgicEncephalomyelitisSurvey/

If you would prefer to take part in a telephone interview or participate in a face to face discussion (as part of a group or individually), please contact our local office and we’ll be happy to arrange.

There is a flyer attached which can be shared and/or printed and displayed. We want to make sure we have done everything we can to reach individuals living with ME, so are very grateful for any sharing of the flyer/this email/the survey link!
