The Good Morning Milton Project is concerned both with the preventative and social aspect of health and well being. As well as being a year round alert service, our members benefit from our access to a variety of safety resources.

Here are some examples of community safety advice and equipment which members have benefitted from :

• Lifeline Tubes to allow the Emergency Services quick, easy access to their medical information, in the home,
• A demonstration on Bogus Callers and Home Safety Equipment pack given by Strathclyde Police and national utility companies,
• free electric blanket testing done by the Trading Standards Authority, with faulty blankets replaced free of charge,
• A visit to the Safety Centre which has different stage sets showing potential hazards in the home and in the wider community.
• Personal attack alarm so members can feel safer when they are alone.
• Membership cards with their emergency contact details ensuring that we or their family will know if and accident has happened while out and about.

We make sure our members don't miss out on anything!

The telephone can be a lifeline for many people and to some we are literally their main contact with the outside world. By offering a 'friend on the phone' we aim to reduced the isolation sometimes felt by people. You do not need to be living alone to feel lonley or enjoy the benefits of our service.

Mr Shaw was one of the first people to use the service:
"It makes a good difference because I look forward to a call in the morning, because I might not get a call all day. I might only get one - and that's from you. I feel like it's somebody that's looking out for me."

"I've learnt about places I could go for things to do and where to go for help!"

"My daughter phones me regularly, but she gets peace of mind knowing she'll be contacted if there is anything wrong."
