Red Extreme Heat Warning
With temperatures climbing above 35C this week, a Red Heat Warning has been issued across London by the Met Office.
It only takes a few days of hot weather to increase the risk of fires. A spark can ignite grass or litter and a fire can quickly get out of control. Please remember, do not have BBQs on balconies or in open spaces. Please also throw rubbish away and dispose of cigarettes carefully. See what the London Fire Brigade have to say about staying safe

With the World Cup firmly underway, Crimestoppers are urging the public to help tackle domestic abuse by recognising the signs and sharing information anonymously.
Research has found that incidents of domestic abuse increase by 38% when England loses, rise by 26% when they win, and remain 11% higher the following day regardless of the result.
The 0800 555 111 telephone number and website crimestoppers-uk.org gives people the power to speak up and pass on information about crime 100% anonymously.

 Help is at hand for anyone worried about their gambling habits.
Late night matches during the World Cup can increase the pressure to gamble alone. Late kick-offs, a phone in your hand and a quiet house can be a dangerous combination. If betting alone has become a habit you didn't choose, you're not the only one.
You can call GamCare’s free 24/7 confidential National Gambling Helpline on 0808 8020 133 or head to their website.
