Settle
and District Aid in Sickness Fund.
Quoted
from
of
the Austwick Parish Council Website.
"This is a charity operating in the Settle area, including
Austwick, which makes grants to people who are sick and
suffering some financial difficulties as a result. In
particular, the Fund may help with:
(1)
The supply of bedding, comforts, food, fuel and medical
or other aids.
(2)
Grants for the benefit of persons who are sick, infirm,
convalescent or in need of rest or change of air to defray the
expenses of recuperative holidays or of obtaining domestic help.
Put
simply, what this means is that the Fund may help practically,
for instance by lending mobility aids, or financially by helping
with costs for a carer or patient to take a break. Anything in
fact which would ease the burden of illness.
The
Austwick representative for the Fund is
Councillor Robert Cooksley

someone who may benefit, please contact Ian Shaw, who will deal
with all the necessary formalities.
The
Fund also supports the Hospital Visiting Scheme which takes
patients to Airedale, Leeds, Bradford, Lancaster and other
hospitals for a charge of about 30p a mile or £6.00 for a round
trip to Airedale. This service is run by volunteer drivers with
a contribution towards the actual cost from the Fund. The
co-ordinator for this service is Arthur Lupton, 4 Constitution
