Raglan Community Charitable Trust to fund flu jabs for community services card holders
Raglan Community Charitable Trust Chairman, Peter Storey says in the past 12 months, the Trust has provided around $78,000 to Raglan organisations to support their incredible community work.
“Along with our annual grants to the community Christmas lunch, New Year’s fireworks and Christmas in the Park, we’ve funded a vehicle for PRIME and additional community defibrillators, given grants for training for PRIME practitioners and first aiders and made grants to Raglan Fire and Emergency and Raglan Volunteer Coastguard for vital equipment.”
Peter says the Trust now wants to offer 200 free flu vaccinations to Community Services Card holders and their dependents and to children who live with (or are in regular contact with) someone aged 65+ years.
“Raglan Medical will administer the vaccinations, so please give them a call on 825-0114 to check if you qualify for a free flu jab. Meanwhile, play it safe this flu season and remember to wash your hands with soap, cough and sneeze into your elbow and stay home if you feel unwell.”
