2017 PGP's Appeal

THE CROKUS CLUB

An Introduction

The Crokus Club was originally established 17 years ago by the staff on the Ear, Nose and Throat Ward at Edith Cavell Hospital in Peterborough for those affected by cancer of the larynx. Regular meetings were held for patients and their families, with friendships forming and advice and experiences exchanged. The group became affiliated to The National Association of Laryngectomee Clubs and gained charity status.

As with many laryngectomy clubs throughout the UK, the decision was made in 2011 to offer support to not solely laryngectomees but to those affected by all the other head and neck cancers, and the group became The Peterborough Head and Neck Cancer Support Group – the Crokus Club.

This move proved to be very successful and support is now given to – and by – patients and families living in a large area of East Anglia.

We have a good “Buddying” system; if requested, committee members are happy to visit patients before, during and after treatment. We also meet every other month on a Wednesday afternoon when and all patients, carers and family can get together if they feel like it. For patients – or family members – who would like contact but prefer not to have face to face meetings, regular phone and email contact can also be made if requested.

Epilepsy Action

Epilepsy Action's aim is to raise awareness of epilepsy, changing attitudes towards epilepsy, and to make available, information on epilepsy for those affected or those who are looking after someone with epsilepsy, whatever their age. It's membership has in it's ranks, people with epilepsy, families, friends and professionals, who by their experience are highly regarded by medical organisations and government alike. Epilepsy Action has a network of branches throughout the UK, with the Peterborough Branch being one. The Peterborough Branch are trying to raise enough funds to bring in a Sapphire Nurse (The Sapphire Nurse Scheme originates from Epilepsy Action's 45th Anniversary [Sapphire Anniversary]), into this area, who will be able to act as a specialist in the diagnosis, treatment and care of people with epilepsy. These nurses would also manage clinics, offer counselling, advice and discussion concerning epilepsy. This would provide the Peterborough area with a specialist who could give assistance to those that need it, locally.

What is Epilepsy? Epilepsy is repeated sudden bursts of electrical activity in the brain, causing disruption in the transfer of messages to the brain, this then mixes up the correct function of the body. There are several reasons for people to develop epilepsy, these include difficult births, head injuries, strokes, infection, etc, but suprisingly, for the majority of cases there is no known cause. There are about 40 different types of seizures, ranging from brief absent moments through to convulsions, but epilepsy is not to be feared by the general public. With the right education, provided by epilepsy action, epilepsy can be understood and the right course of action can be taken in the event of someone having a seizure, to ensure their health and safety. It is known that 1 in 131 people have epilepsy in the UK, with treatment being by administering anti-epileptic medication, which helps in controlling the seizures.

Epilepsy Action helped over 680,000 people last year and has initiated and administered the Sapphire Nurse Scheme since 1995, funding 87 Epilepsy

Specialist Nurses across the UK.

Bro. Pete has had to use Epilepsy Action for advice and assistance when Bro. John Dudley CP, his son, became epileptic, 'completely out of the blue', and not

having a history of epilepsy in his immediate family, found that it came as a complete shock. The local GP and the A+E department put Bro. Pete onto

Epilepsy Action, through their advice and what signs to look for, was able to get Bro. John to hospital,(where they had to resuscitate him) and thus saved his life. He is now on medication to stabilise his epilepsy, but has since found out that some other Brothers of the Province and Order are also with epilepsy. It was then that Bro. Pete felt it would be a good cause to support, not only for our fellow Buffs, but with the aim of the local branch of Epilepsy Action, be able to bring a much needed Sapphire Nurse to Peterborough. Epilepsy can happen to us all and at any time, for whatever reason and as Bro. Pete found out, regardless of age or fitness.

Should you need advice or guidance on Epillepsy, check out the Epilepsy Action Website or contact one of the branches local to you, also to be found on the Epillepsy Action site.

Talking Newspapers for the Blind Update,

The Treasurers Report.     

                Peterborough and District

Talking Newspaper Association

(Charity No. 280999)

DIGITAL SWITCHOVER

The Peterborough & District Talking Newspaper was founded in 1980, with the aim of producing a summary of the Evening Telegraph on cassette tape, which was then distributed to visually impaired listeners in Peterborough and the surrounding area, enabling them to keep up with local events, and so feel part of the community. After nearly thirty years, it was becoming apparent that the use of cassette tape was becoming outmoded and it was necessary to switch to some form of digital recording and distribution. Following a lengthy assessment of the systems available it was decided to move to one based on thumbdrives (also known as memory sticks).

This effectively involved a completely new way of recording the newspaper, duplicating it and providing listeners with a specific machine on which to play the product. The overall cost of this was just under £11,000. Initial support came from The Peterborough Province of the RAOB with a donation of £5,000, and this enabled the Association to obtain matched funding from the Cambridgeshire Community Fund. A further grant of £250 was received from the Lions Club.

The changeover took longer than expected with delays in delivery of equipment and some initial teething problems, but the whole system went into operation in late September and has bedded down well. The most successful results have been that a format is in place which should stand the test of time for the foreseeable future, and that the quality of the sound recording and reproduction has been much improved.

The rollout of the players meant that each listener had to be visited to be shown how the new system worked, and this enabled a full review of our database to be completed, together with establishing a strong link between listener and volunteer, which the Association had not had before.

Overall the venture has been a success. Initially, it was considered that the raising of the £11,000 would be a major stumbling block, but with the donation from The Peterborough Province of the RAOB, which made the obtaining of other funds from the government source so much easier, this was achieved relatively quickly. The Association is extremely grateful for The Peterborough Province of the RAOB for their support which really allowed the whole scheme to get underway.
