Would you like more information on when and how to start your baby on solid food? If so, come along to one of our drop in information sessions held each month at our Feed and Nurture Groups. A Community Nursery Nurse will be there with resources and to talk through the process. Please come along If you have any questions or worries about starting solids.

No need to book – just turn up!

From this talk you will gain a basic & working knowledge surrounding illegal money lenders (loan sharks) i.e. what makes them illegal, how they operate and find new borrowers, the effects that they have on borrowers, who we the Stop Loan Shark team are, how we operate plus how to link this knowledge into a conversation with a service user, family member or friend to find out if they could potentially be in debt to an illegal money lender and just as importantly, how to make a report and what happens next.

It is estimated that 1.2 million people in England alone are currently in debt to loan sharks and this figure is estimated to rise to 10 million within the next 3 years which equates to 1 in 5 of the adult population across the country.

All the awareness talks will be held via Microsoft Teams and will start at 09:30. The links to the talks will be sent out to attendees as an Outlook calendar invite a few days before each talk.
