At the November Dave’s Diner at Northfield House, a member of the Avon and Somerset Fraud Protection Team came to speak with the group about the many different ways people can obtain your personal details or money. The thirty people who attended said they found it very interesting and helpful, and there were a couple of people there who had been scammed, sadly. A booklet called The Little Book of Scams was handed out but there is also an online copy available: https://www.met.police.uk/…/the-little-book-of-big-scams
A good rule of thumb is Take 5 and Tell 2 In any scenario where you are unsure about the communication you have received, take 5 minutes away from it to think about what is being asked of you, and then tell 2 people about it. It’s a simple technique, but it could save you a fortune. If you think you may be a victim of a scam or someone is trying to obtain information from you call 101 and tell the police. You are not alone.

Sunday 18th August, Liam and Zdenek completed the Frome Half Marathon on a lovely sunny day.
Liam is blind so Zdenek guides him and they run together. Thank you both so much for what you do and have achieved.
There is still time to donate if you visit the Fundraising page, to enable us to continue providing the services that we offer to visually impaired people throughout Somerset and slightly beyond. It is very much appreciated.
