Tetley is an inquisitive rabbit who isn’t that keen on being picked up. However he soon settles and begin to enjoy company. He loves his veggies and he will need plenty of fresh hay to munch away on his new home. Tetley is also looking for a female bunny who will provide him with much needed companionship. For further information on suitable rabbit accommodation and what is required in terms of space, please contact the branch.

Wyre Council, in partnership with Fylde Coast YMCA will be delivering health screenings across the borough over a three-year period. The Workplace Health Screening Project will target businesses with employees aged 50+ and SMEs that experience lower levels of productivity as a result of poor employee health. The screening tool and associated training programme have been developed by specialists from the University of Central Lancashire’s (UCLan) School of Medicine and are consistent with the approach used in NHS medical practices to identify conditions that can lead to poor health in later life. Businesses will then be offered a range of supportive interventions for employees, based on the outcomes of the screenings, encompassing both physical and mental health support. The interventions will be delivered by a range of Lancashire-based providers and will empower employees with the tools to improve their overall health, whilst employers will benefit from increased productivity and resilience within their workforces. The project brings together a range of local and national partners and forms part of the wider ‘Business Health Matters’ programme which helps SMEs understand how they can support their staff; an issue that has been identified in a survey of more than 400 local business over the last 12 months.
