The bottles are supplied by the Lions to health centres, doctors’ surgeries and chemists, local Lions clubs, Neighbourhood Watch, Age Concern and housing associations. We are proud to be working in partnership with the Lion’s Club International to help protect people in our communities through the Message in a Bottle scheme.

Message in a Bottle allows you to keep your personal and medical information in a place which can easily be found in an emergency – your fridge. A copy of your repeat prescription list if you have one. This is incredibly useful for our staff when they treat you.The scheme is free and open to anyone, although it is particularly suitable for vulnerable people and people that experience difficulty recalling information or communicating with our staff. For example, people living with dementia, learning difficulties and people whose first language is not English.
