Measles can be a serious infection that can lead to complications, especially in young children & those with weakened immune systems.
We’re reminding parents on what signs and symptoms to look out for and what to do if they think their child has measles.
Measles spreads easily but it is preventable. Make sure you and your loved ones are up to date with your MMR jabs or catch up on any missed jabs.

NEW SUPPORT HUB LAUNCHING 16th MARCH

Rennie Grove Peace are launching a new Support Hub in Amersham this March, creating a welcoming space for people in Buckinghamshire who are living with a life-limiting illness or are frail due to age.
The Support Hub gives people the chance to connect with others in similar situations, while learning more about the local support available to them.
The Amersham Hub also welcomes loved ones and carers. It is the first of several new hubs planned across Buckinghamshire and forms an important part of Rennie Grove Peace Hospice Care’s commitment to supporting people living with serious illness in the community.

When and where
The first session will take place on Monday 16 March 2026, from 2.30pm to 4.30pm, at the Chilterns Lifestyle Centre.
The Hub will then run on the third Monday of every month.

What to expect
Support Hubs offer a warm, drop-in environment focused on friendly conversation, peer support and gentle wellbeing activities. These may include chair-based exercise, art collage, flower arranging and talks on topics such as nutrition.
Sessions are free to attend, and people are welcome to come on their own or with family, friends or carers.
Members of the Rennie Grove Peace team will also be there to offer guidance on the practical and emotional support available locally.
The session are free, drop-in and open to all.
