Do you have old or damaged vinyl records you no longer need?

We are collecting unwanted records (any condition) to use in a creative NHS activity that helps to create awareness of mental health support in our local communities. We would be so grateful to anyone able to help us with this, and we will happily come and collect the records from a convenient place near you.

If you’d like to donate, please email Suffolk.CommunityTeam@nsft.nhs.uk and we’ll organise a convenient collection. Thank you for helping us reduce waste and support local wellbeing.

The 4Ts are signs of type 1 diabetes in children (and adults).

They’re simple to remember and if you spot any of these signs, at any time, see a doctor for a diabetes test immediately:

Toilet (increased wees and wet nappies or unusual bed wetting) 🚽
Thirsty (drinking lots) 💧
Tired (more than usual) 😴
Thinner (the child may look or feel thinner or their clothes may be looser) ⚖️

While these symptoms don’t always mean diabetes, they should be checked immediately. As if type 1 diabetes is left undiagnosed, it can make you really ill, really quickly and lead to a potentially fatal condition called diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA).

Please hit share and help spread awareness of the 4Ts.

Together, we can save lives.
