๐ŸŽ–๏ธ Remembrance Day
Today, on Remembrance Day, the nation will pause at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month to observe a moment of silence.

We invite everyone to join us in this act of remembrance โ€” to reflect on the bravery, service, and sacrifice of all those who lost their lives in conflict and those who continue to serve today.

TV presenter Davina McCall has recently shared her own breast cancer diagnosis โ€” and her openness has reminded so many of us just how important it is to check our breasts regularly. Of course Brest cancer doesnโ€™t discriminate, chest, breast, big or small we can all get cancer, but caught early itโ€™s treatable.

No matter your age, early detection really can save lives. It only takes a few minutes each month to know whatโ€™s normal for you and to spot any changes early.

โœจ How to check:
1. Look in the mirror for any changes in shape, size, or skin texture.
2. Feel all around your breast, armpit, and collarbone area.
3. If something feels different or unusual, please donโ€™t wait โ€” book an appointment with your GP.

You can find an easy, step-by-step guide here: https://www.nhs.uk/tests-and-treatments/how-to-check-your-breasts-or-chest/
๏ฟผ
Most changes wonโ€™t be cancer, but itโ€™s always best to get checked.

๐ŸŽ† Bonfire Night: Safety & Wellbeing Reminder ๐ŸŽ†

As we enjoy the sparkle and excitement of Bonfire Night, letโ€™s remember a few simple ways to stay safe and look out for one another โ€” especially our armed forces veterans and anyone who may find fireworks distressing. ๐Ÿ’™

๐Ÿ”น Be mindful of triggers โ€“ Loud bangs and flashes can be upsetting for people whoโ€™ve experienced trauma or military service. If you or someone you know is struggling, the NHS service Op COURAGE offers free, confidential support for veterans and their families. ๐Ÿ‘‰ nhs.uk/opcourage

๐Ÿ”น Plan ahead โ€“ Let neighbours know if youโ€™re setting off fireworks, choose quiet or sound-reduced options, and keep pets indoors. If noise is difficult, have a calm space ready to retreat to.

๐Ÿ”น Look after your wellbeing โ€“ Talk to someone you trust, or reach out to Op COURAGE for help โ€” you can self-refer or ask your GP or a friend to do it for you. Support is available no matter when you served.

๐Ÿ”น Stay safe โ€“ Follow safety rules, supervise children and pets, avoid alcohol when handling fireworks, and keep a safe distance. Organised displays are often safer and easier for everyone.

๐Ÿ”น Be a caring neighbour โ€“ A small heads-up or kind word can make a big difference for those who might find fireworks challenging. Letโ€™s make Bonfire Night enjoyable and inclusive for all. ๐Ÿ’™
