RURAL householders around Casterton have been given a message in a bottle to help them in a health emergency.
The special bottles are kept in the fridge and contain crucial information about the members of the household, such as details about medical conditions and medication.
Acting as part of a Community Challenge Project, members of Casterton Women's Institute, distributed the bottles to homes in the area. They have also given each household a green sticker to be stuck on the phone giving a six-digit grid reference for the house to help emergency services find the property.
