LIFE saving kits are being dished out to the elderly and disabled in Droitwich Spa.
The DATALINK scheme is now available at Wychavon Tenants' Association, in Queen Street.
Free packs include a small plastic canister, in which users can store medical details or essential medication in.

Two green cross stickers also come with the kits, one for the fridge and the other for inside the front door. These tell emergency services that the householder stores DATALINK information in their fridge.
The initiative is designed for elderly or disabled people who may be taken ill or collapse whilst alone.
Tenants' association co-ordinator, Jeanette Weir, said: "We hope DATALINK will provide reassurance to anyone who may suffer an accident or illness at home.
"The information could provide paramedics with vital knowledge for treatment."
