Nottingham is one of three UK cities selected to host National Paralympic Day (NPD) on Saturday 25 July 2015,10am – 5pm.
The ‘pop up’ event taking place on Smithy Row aims to engage with disability groups, individuals and partners whilst raising awareness and profile of Paralympic sports and elite athletes ahead of RIO 2016. Event features "Have a Go" activities.
Nottingham City Council is encouraging people to take part in a consultation looking at the future of charging for adult social care services.
The council is committed to maintaining quality services for elderly, disabled and vulnerable people. However, the number of people in need of social care services is going up, while the budget available to the council is going down each year.
Vulnerable families and children are to get extra help and support thanks to a new partnership between Nottingham City Council and Safe Families for Children.
Safe Families for Children provides support for families in crisis. Volunteers offer friendship and help for families in difficulty – and can even offer a place for children to stay while their parents are helped to tackle problems in their lives. The aim is to support more families in the city to stay together and reduce the number of children going into care.
Britain’s best archery talent will be showcased at the National Series Finals in Nottingham on 29 and 30 August and families are invited to enjoy the spectacle at Wollaton Hall.
