WHEN she's not in the water raising money for charity, Rebecca Hindson can be found working to improve life for vulnerable people.
As a member of the Patient Participation Group at Littleover Medical Centre, Rebecca suggests new initiatives the surgery can run to support the community.
Her latest venture is a social group for people who find it harder than most to get out and about.
To get it up and running, she is currently collecting coupons in the Post and Nottingham Building Society's Cash For Your Community campaign, which shares £35,000 between participating groups.
The more coupons collected the bigger their share of the cash will be.
Rebecca said: "I know how important it is for people who are vulnerable to get out and about and the idea is that a social group would encourage people who can't get out easily to do so and stop them becoming depressed.
"Things like day centres have been stopped and people are suffering the consequences and from my own personal experience I know how hard it can be.
"It's something I feel quite strongly about and if it's something that can help other people then all the better."
The Patient Participation Group took part in last year's Cash For Your Community – winning a total of £247.
This was used to form a new parent and toddlers group.
"The group is so appreciated in the community now that it's up and running," said Rebecca.
"It's helped integrate people with disabilities and meet people who they wouldn't see otherwise."
People can collect coupons, printed in the Post, for Littleover Medical Centre's Patient Participation Group until July 13. All coupons must be sent to the Post by 5pm on July 17.
