3tfm Community Radio for Health

The idea of a Careers Show on Community Radio was conceived during April 2006 when a local steering group. Chaired by Jim McHarg of Community Learning & Development set up a radio station called GVFM (Garnock Valley FM).

This group had been granted a four week broadcasting license and my idea was to take careers information into a new medium and this provided the ideal opportunity to experiment.

The initial concept I had was a show to highlight various careers interspersed with music and local information and the four week run of the show proved very successful. GVFM was later granted a further four week license and from there the show grew from strength to strength.

    Catalogue for Incontinence
    A new and comprehensive range of products for men and women. We have worked in this area of health care for over 15 years and have selected briefs, pads and accessories to help 1 in 3 women and 1 in 10 men continue with a normal life.

    Shown below is just a sample of the products available:

    Briefs. Our briefs are made from a fine cotton/lycra with high quality elastics and trimmings for comfort and durability. The briefs have a sewn in absorbent gusset that will absorb as much as a disposable pad for light incontinence. No need for disposable pads. We have designed and made four styles with absorbent material that does not move around and so is ideal fo the more active and for sportswear. The briefs are dignified and comfortable. They are easy to wash and are therefore both economical and better for the environment. Arelle Legged Ladies Brief and the Arelle Male Brief have a sporty style with legs and a suspended pad that provides an extremely snug fit - exclusive to this range.

    Pads. In our carefully selected range of pads we are sure you will find those suited to your own requirements. All the pads are highly absorbent and we are confident that you will be satisfied with their effectiveness. Pads need to fit comfortably and close to the body and so we recommend you select a brief from our section on Stretch Briefs. A pad fitted correctly works better, so you need fewer. We suggest you select our Economy Stretch Pants or Abri Leaf Stretch Pant to hold the waterproof backed disposable pads in place.
    · 9 varieties, all high quality · Wide choice to satisfy all requirements · For both day & night use

    Bathing/Toilet Accessories. This is a strong lightweight bath seat for those who have difficulty rising or lowering into the bath. Large specially designed seating area has cut away for personal cleaning and is lightly textured to prevent slipping. Fixes to the bath with four large suckers.

    Bed/Seat Protection. Washable bed pads are popular because they are a dignified way of providing protection at night. Just lay the Bed Pad on top of the sheet. It is highly absorbent with a waterproof backing. the Arelle Bed Pad can be used without any disposable pad in order to allow the skin to breath. Similarly, the Arelle Seat Pads discretely protect furniture. All the Arelle Bed and Seat Pads are suitable for light/moderate incontinence and can be washed in a domestic wshing machine. Take advantage of our special offer and buy a pack of three - one in use, one in the wash and one in reserve.

    ASLdeafined, LLC

    Every person in every walk of life has the need to know some sign language, even if you are not going to use that skill on a daily basis. For example, doctors, nurses, teachers, law enforcement, retail workers, and government employees are constantly frustrated with their inability to communicate with those who cannot hear because of their lack of sign language.

    Your skills in signing will increase your ability to communicate with a class of people that you can no longer afford to ignore. Police officers, retailers, and all aspects of society need to reach out to those who are deaf, to better serve the entire community, and not just certain parts of it.

    Brainandspinalcord.org

    Whenever a person or family is suddenly confronted with the world-changing experience of a catastrophic spinal cord injury or brain injury, there are a host of questions but seemingly few solid answers. These questions involve a wide spectrum of issues: health, rehabilitation, hope for recovery, current research, financial, legal, and the list goes on.

    Medical providers are often reluctant to give too much information based upon a legitimate concern of giving false hope. Providers are also pressed for time, making it logistically difficult for them to spend time with a new brain injury or spinal cord injury survivors and their families answering questions in detail. Moreover, there are many questions that doctors and their staff are unable to answer, including questions about pressing financial and legal issues. Support groups, government resources, and other sources of potential assistance are also difficult or impossible to easily identify.

    Leeds Society for Deaf and Blind People

    The Leeds Society for Deaf and Blind People has existed since 1866. Throughout its long history, the single objective has been to respond to the expressed needs and aspirations of deaf, hard of hearing, deafblind, blind and partially sighted people. This has been achieved by the active participation of sensory-impaired people, both as members of committees at every level and as members of staff.

    The success of the Society is without doubt due to the active pursuit of this policy. However, sensory-impaired people recognise the value of the large number of people who have given and continue to give their time and talents in a voluntary capacity, and this valuable input has been a significant factor in the progress of the Society.

    Outsiders

    OUTSIDERS is a self-help, international community providing regular mailings, and unthreatening events where people meet up and practice socialising. Members appreciate a club where they are totally accepted, and some of the most amazing relationships have been formed. Outsiders is for people who feel isolated because of socially and physical disabilities. The club helps them gain confidence, make new friends and find partners. We welcome people of all sexualities, whether they are single, divorced, separated or married, and we discriminate against no one. Our members appreciate a club where disability is accepted and people can relax and be themselves. The first step may be to acknowledge the persons sexuality, and offer support in asserting their right to a private life, and seeking love in a society where status normally stems from good looks and money.
