GET YOUR FREE LIONS MESSAGE IN A WALLET
IT COULD HELP SAVE YOUR LIFE!
Make your important contact and medical details readily available for when an emergency arises!
WHAT IS MESSAGE IN A WALLET?
‘Message in a Wallet’ is a new offering by Windsor Lions Club and it sits snugly alongside our successful Message in a Bottle.
Whereas the bottle is designed to contain emergency medical and contact details and sit in your fridge at home, Message in a Wallet does the same thing for when you are out and about.
Simply fill out the details and pop the credit-card sized fold-out leaflet in your wallet. It will be quickly found by responding services if they are called to your aid when you are away from home.
Having this information to hand will enable members of the emergency services to help you - and could make all the difference in a life-threatening situation.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Message in a Wallet is a credit-card sized fold-out leaflet, designed to fit into your purse or wallet which will allow it to be found quickly in an emergency.
Filling in the form
You should fill the form in with the following information:
-
Your name and details of any allergies
-
The name, address and contact number for your doctor
-
A brief description of any medical conditions you have or medication you take
-
The contact information for two emergency contacts
-
If you are a carer, the details of the person you are a carer for
-
A copy of your repeat prescription list if you have one.
WHO CAN GET MESSAGE IN A WALLET?
The scheme is free and open to anyone in the community.
It’s suitable for anyone – from the vulnerable people who find it difficult to recall information or communicate (such as people living with dementia or learning difficulties), or people whose first language isn’t English – to anybody who is out and about and would like to feel a little bit safer if they were to be in an emergency situation.
