Thank you to all the Derbyshire residents who have taken the opportunity to find out more about fostering as part of Foster Care Fortnight.
 Our team have been out and about across the county over the last two weeks but there’s still a chance to find out more about fostering at our next virtual event on Wednesday 25 May from 6.30-7.30pm.
Are you over 65 and want to know more about driving safer for longer?

If you’re deaf or hard of hearing you can find out more about the support available in Derbyshire at a series of roadshows around the county.
Our hard of hearing service, run by Hearing Help UK, is touring Derbyshire over the next few weeks at a range of events and markets so why not drop in for a chat?
The team will be available at various venues, including Long Eaton, Staveley, Ilkeston and Buxton. Find out more on the Hearing Help UK website.
The team carry out assessments and demonstrations of environmental hearing equipment and give information and advice. As well as their outreach events, Hearing Help supports peer groups and holds monthly social events to reduce isolation.

We’re sending a souvenir book to every school in Derbyshire to commemorate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, and children at Charlesworth VC Primary School were the first to receive one of them, presented by our Civic Chairman Councillor Jean Wharmby, with Civic Consort and husband George Wharmby.
We’ll also be joining more than 1,500 beacon-lighting ceremonies around the UK and Commonwealth on Thursday 2 June. Our beacon will be lit at Solomon’s Temple at Grin Low in Buxton at 9.45pm. The area directly around the beacon will be cordoned off but you will be able to see it from the surrounding country park and from further afield.
  Pictured with Civic Chairman Councillor Jean Wharmby and Civic Consort George Wharmby after receiving their souvenir Jubilee book are Charlesworth VC Primary School headteacher Philip Whiston with pupils Maida (7), Sienna (8), Sienna (9) and Oliver (8).
