Redbridge Lifeline

Lifeline is also known as the community alarm system, where you will be given a pendant which can be pressed to alert staff at the Redbridge Control Centre that you need help. It can give vulnerable and elderly residents and those with special needs the freedom to continue to live independently and the security of knowing that they can always get help when they need it.
