Our Amazing Charity Shop
Many Islanders will be aware our charity shop in Elm Grove is now open following a ‘sparkle’ and improvement works. Please call in and meet our incredible volunteers whilst browsing our wide range of pre-loved clothing, household items and bric-a-brac. Perhaps finding that unique ‘quirky’ gift for somebody special.
Our shop on Elm Grove is our hub in the community. It is staffed by our amazing volunteers who run the shop.
The opening times are

If you have spectacles you no longer need
Please bring them to the shop on Elm Grove.
We will take them to our partners who will clean your glasses and grade them so that they can be shared with needy people in the developing parts of the world, so that your eyeglasses can continue to provide benefit to others.
Prostate Cancer Screening
Many of you will know that we used to hold screening days at the community centre to help many men on the Island have a simple blood test to see if they were at risk from prostate cancer, which develops silently but can will develop in 1 in 8 men.
You can now get a PSA test from your GP if you are over 50 and ask for a test and just ask for the test.
We are not planning to run those sessions again.
Message in a bottle
The Lions fund these bottles in which you can place important medical information and your current prescription list, so that if an ambulance calls to help you in an emergency, they know to look in your fridge for this bottle, which can help them and the hospital doctors look after you more appropriately.
You can pick them up from our shop on Elm Grove, at the GPs and at the pharmacies.
