The annual Tesco supermarket collection will be on Thursday, 21, Friday, 22 and Saturday 23 November. As usual it will take place at the Streatham and Brixton stores which will generously add an additional 20% to the total amount collected.

A free flu vaccination is offered on the NHS to those who are at increased risk from the effects of flu. These include people aged 65 and over, pregnant women, those with underlying health conditions and children (aged 2-10). If you’re eligible, you can get your flu vaccination from your general practice or pharmacy to help protect yourself this winter. Pregnant women may also be offered the vaccine through their maternity service.
