Message in A Bottle Project
​
Message in a Bottle is not solely a Lions initiative, however it is an initiative that very many Lions Clubs across the country have taken to and recognise as a means of fulfilling our motto “We Serve”, often funding the scheme from their own charity accounts.
This scheme is free to the user. Whilst it is focused on the more vulnerable people in our community, anyone can fall downstairs or have a car accident, so this scheme can benefit anyone, including you. As a minimum it will save the Emergency Services valuable time identifying you and your emergency contacts. By telling whether you have special medication or allergies or not, it is a potential lifesaver and provides peace of mind to users and their friends and families.

The Lions Message In a Bottle scheme is a simple idea designed to encourage people to keep their personal and medical details on a standard form and in a common location - the Fridge.
​The Message in a bottle pack comprises of:

​A Bottle, a  Form and 2 Stickers
  • Complete the details on the form.
  • Put it into the bottle supplied and place in the door compartment of your fridge.
  • The Emergency Services will know to look for it in the event of being called to your home.
  • They will be alerted by the use of the two special Green Emergency/Green Cross stickers.
  • One is stuck on the fridge door.
  • The other sticker is placed on the INSIDE of your front door.

All Emergency Services are aware of the Lions Message in a Bottle scheme, and will locate the bottle and pass it on to a doctor or hospital personnel in an emergency.

Bottles, which are free of charge, can usually be found in your local Chemist or Doctors Surgeries. Thanks to a number of other organisations, you may also find that you can obtain one through your nearest Neighbourhood Watch group, Age Concern, Council Offices, Housing Associations and many other places including Police stations.

Should you need to update the information of contained on the form in the bottle, new forms can be downloaded here, and printed.
