You lovely people!
Brummies are known for their compassion – with many caring city people offering support following the crisis in Afghanistan. If YOU or your organisation can help, Birmingham Asylum, Refugee & Migrant Support is co-ordinating donations.
Do YOU have a youngster with special educational needs and disability?
Parents and carers in Brum are invited to an event which will look at how we shape SEND services for our families in the future. It’s on 15 September: join online.
Jabs for care home staff
If YOU work in a care home, it is a legal requirement to be double-vaccinated by 11 November. So, if you haven't already had your first jab, you’ll need to get it by 16 September. Find vaccination clinics here.

Back to school?
Get back to the classroom safely by taking a lateral flow test twice a week, wearing a face covering in busy areas and on public transport, and getting your vaccine if over 16.
