How Age UK Doncaster are reducing loneliness and social isolation through Circles for Independence in Later Life. Older people are particularly vulnerable to social isolation. There are many paths that lead to this; a friend moves away; a partner dies; the onset of a restrictive chronic illness or disability and before they know it, their social circle, the one they relied on for years, ceases to exist. Social isolation is a growing problem among older people both nationally and within Doncaster. Lacking social connections has a risk factor for early death that is comparable to smoking up to 15 cigarettes a day. Traditionally, communities organised themselves to support each other but in contemporary society the way we live and interact has changed. A community circle solves this by bringing people together who are already in that person’s life and by inviting new people who can contribute positively to an individual’s life. These contributions can be both practical and social. Age UK Doncaster has secured 5 years of funding from the Big Lottery Fund to set up Circles for Independence in Later Life. It is going to be a huge community effort and we are currently looking for volunteers who will dedicate a couple of hours each month to facilitate a person’s circle. These circles will enable older people to stay connected in their community and improve their quality of life. To find out more about our new initiative or to download our volunteer application pack visit our website www.ageuk.org.uk/doncaster or ring our connectors for a chat on 01302812345.

Passwords Just a quick reminder about account security and preventing hackers. The best ways to keep your accounts safe are to: Make sure you use a variety of passwords that aren't easy to guess. Never reuse passwords on multiple accounts. Where possible use extra security such as text verification, for example with your Google account. A survey recorded the most common passwords were 'password' followed by '123456', neither of which are secure and should be changed. Handling multiple passwords can be a tedious and time-consuming job, however there are software packages – some of which are free – which can be used to automate the process. Finally, never divulge your password to anyone who may contact you claiming to be from, for example, your bank or credit card company; these organisations will never ask for such information.

Community News Rossington Hall Riding for the Disabled (RDA) is in desperate need of some more volunteers to help with the riding sessions. Rossington Hall Group is a local group (one of 500 nationwide) which has been operating since 1987 offering riding experiences to clients from Social Education Centres and Special Needs Schools. They also cater for private clients referred by their GP or Health Professional. The service operates Tuesdays to Saturdays and volunteers are needed for each of those days. Volunteers are required to bring in the horses, groom them and lead out the rides. If grooming isn’t your thing, you could just lead the horses out. Each session requires numerous volunteers, one to lead the horse and one to ‘side-walk’ each rider to ensure their safety. Without sufficient volunteers, the rides cannot go ahead. If you can help please get in touch by emailing rdarossington@gmail.com or phoning 07500 748 704. Further information about the RDA can be found at www.rdarossington.co.uk.
The Vulcan XH558 is going through a period of difficulty and the Riding for the Disabled (RDA) 30th Anniversary Ball was initially under threat. The Vulcan to the Sky Trust have been working hard with the new leaseholders of Hangar 3 and an arrangement has been reached. The Vulcan will be moved into storage, but will be returned to Hangar 3 for the RDA Ball. This will be the last opportunity to see her up close, at a function, for some considerable time. The Rossington Hall Riding for the Disabled extend their deepest gratitude to Vulcan to the Sky Trust and 2Excel Aviation, the new leaseholders, for pulling out all the stops to enable this event to go ahead. It will be a fabulous night! If you want tickets to this prestigious event, please telephone 07975 540533. Sandra Crabtree RDA Secretary www.rdarossington.co.uk
Doncaster Child sexual exploitation team 01302 737200 How Safe is your Child Online? The internet has become an integral part of everyday life for many people. Your children are growing up in a technological age, and many parents are feeling that they have been left behind. Technology is developing fast and it is not just computer’s that allow you access to the Internet. Many modern devices such as mobile phones, Nintendo’s Wii Games console, Sony’s PlayStation 3 and PSP systems all have internet browsers for surfing the internet. Even if you do not have access to the internet at home it is always available through your local Library, cyber café, retail shops, work, school and fast food restaurants. However there is also a darker side to it. The internet contains a lot of inappropriate material for children but the biggest threat of all is other humans. Top tips To Keep your children Safe on line *Install software on their devices that can filter inappropriate material and allows you to monitor what they are doing online. *Place a computer where you can see the screen. *Teach them not to give out personal information about themselves, family or friends. *Talk to them about being careful of friends online who might not be who they say they are and discourage them from meeting someone they have met online.
