🚭 A smoke-free life starts with a smoke-free day.

No Smoking Day is a great opportunity to take the first step towards quitting. Whether you're thinking about stopping for the first time or trying again, support is available.

This message is especially important for:
- People who are pregnant
- Families with babies or young children
- Households with vulnerable adults

Second-hand smoke can seriously impact those around us. Choosing a smoke-free home helps protect the people who rely on you most.

If you’ve been thinking about quitting, today could be the day you start. Even one smoke-free day can build confidence and momentum.

📲 Scan the QR code in the poster to access free support and resources.
There’s help available with advice, tools, and local services to support you every step of the way.

This International Women’s Day, we celebrate the strength, care and resilience of women who nurture families and communities every single day.

At Approachable Parenting, we see the impact of empowered mothers and caregivers. When women feel supported, informed and confident, families grow stronger and children thrive.

Today is a reminder that every woman deserves support, respect and opportunities to flourish. Because when women gain, families and communities gain too.

Invitation to have your say!
Thinking about the emotional wellbeing of babies, parents and carers - survey for parents/carers.

is interested in hearing families' experiences of support when they are expecting a baby and the first 2 years post birth. This can be a joyful time, but it can also be challenging.

They have created a survey, and the information gathered will be used to help them create a strategy to inform the Department of Education about the best way to support the emotional wellbeing of babies, parents and carers from conception to age two.

If you would prefer to arrange a call to share your thoughts, have any further questions or would like to be kept updated around further opportunities to contribute, please email Rachel.bailey@nhs.net.

They understand the questions will ask about your personal experiences, and that everyone's journey is unique - you are encouraged to answer and share only as much as you feel comfortable with.

The form will be completed anonymously.
