Community DirectoryFalkland Islands

Welcome to the second edition of the Community Directory.

We intend the directory to be a one-stop-shop resource for signposting people towards local services and amenities that support and enhance our quality of life here in the Falkland Islands.

This edition has been expanded and I am delighted that even more community service providers have submitted information for inclusion.

We know there may be more services out there and that things can change quickly so we will endeavour to update regularly. Please do keep sending us your information for inclusion.

The directory is available in paper format however in the interest of being mindful of the environment we encourage people to view it online by visiting www.falklands.gov.fk/more-information/useful-contacts/ or sending an email to [email protected] to request a copy.

Thank you to all those who have made a submission to advise of their service, supporting community health and well-being.

Thank you once again to Stone River Creative Design for taking on the design and production.

Please note: LAST ENTRY IS 30 MINUTES BEFORE CLOSING TIME EACH DAY

Countryside Code The Countryside Code is here to protect our environment so it is there for all to enjoy. We ask that those visiting and living on the islands follow it when they are out and about.

In general:

✓ Always ask for permission before entering private land. Follow any advice and guidelines you are given by the landowner.

✓ Keep to paths wherever possible. Leave gates, open or shut, as you find them.

✓ Be aware of the high fire risk throughout the islands particularly when lighting fires, BBQs or smoking.

✓ Do not litter. Take your rubbish home with you or use a bin provided.

Failure to follow this guidance may constitute an offence in the Falkland Islands and could result in significant fines.

Around Wildlife:

✓ Never feed, touch, handle, injure or kill any wild bird or animal.

✓ Always give animals the right of way. Do not block the routes of birds or animals coming home to their colonies. Do not startle or chase wildlife from resting or breeding areas.

✓ Prevent disturbance to wild birds and animals. Always stay on the outside of colonies and remain at least 6 m (20 ft) away.

✓ When taking photographs or filming stay low to the ground. Move slowly and quietly. Make sure your flash is turned off. Always be aware of the location of your camera and equipment. Do not use selfie-sticks to get closer to wildlife.

In Nature:

✓ Some plants are protected and should not be picked. Wildflowers are there for all to enjoy.

✓ Whalebones, skulls, eggs, etc. may not be exported from the Falkland Islands. These should be left where they are found.

✓ Do not disfigure rocks or buildings.

Be Sun Safe Skin Cancer is the most common cause

of cancer in the Falkland Islands.

Sunscreen is recommended when the UV index is 3 or above. During spring and summer slop on broad spectrum sunscreen daily, SPF30+. Apply 20 minutes before going out, top up every 2 hours and after being in water or sweating.

If you aren’t able to avoid the mid-day sun, especially when working outdoors or for long periods of time, protect your skin by covering up as much as possible.

You are more likely to get sunburnt on the face, neck and ears than any other part of the body. Protect your skin by wearing a cap with flaps or wide brimmed hat.

Protect your eyes by wearing sunglasses. The best ones to wear are close fitting and wrap around. Not all sunglasses protect against UV radiation, so check the label for the sun protection rating.

Children up to 12 months have very delicate skin and can burn very easily. Make sure to protect their skin at all times from direct sun exposure.

Never let your skin burn! Remember that not everyone’s skin offers the same level or protection. If you are pale skinned and burn easily you are at a greater risk of sunburn so take extra precautions.

UV radiation from the sun is both a major cause of skin cancer and the best source of vitamin D. We need to strike a balance between enough exposure to vitamin D and lowering the risks for skin cancer. Most people can get enough vitamin D from incidental exposure to the suns rays, but you can also get it from foods or supplements. Speak to your GP or Health Professional if you are concerned about risk of deficiency. Sensible sun protection does not put you at risk of vitamin D deficiency.
