The UK government is testing the Emergency Alerts system on Sunday 7 September 2025 at 3pm.

Your mobile phone or tablet will vibrate and make a loud siren-like sound, even if it’s set on silent. The alert message will confirm this is a test and that you do not need to take any further action.

Regular testing ensures the system is functioning correctly, should it need to be used in a life-threatening emergency.

You can opt out of the Emergency Alerts, including the national test, but you should keep them switched on for your own safety.

Emergency Alerts will warn you via your mobile or tablet if there's a life-threatening emergency nearby. Only the government and the emergency services are able to send them.

There are simple and effective steps we can all take to be more prepared for an emergency. Find out more: https://t.co/hQJ6Y7mFN9

APPLY NOW! 📣 North Ayrshire Council is encouraging families to take up the offer of free school meals for primary 6 and 7 pupils, if they are eligible to do so 🍴

From Monday 24 February, families who are not currently eligible for free school meals but are in receipt of the Scottish Child Payment will be eligible to access free school meals for primary 6 and 7 pupils.

Currently, the Scottish Government’s universal free school meal provision covers all primary 1 to primary 5 pupils.

That provision is now expanding to include this wider group of children, meaning that even more children across North Ayrshire will be entitled to a free school meal during term time.

The online application form opens today, Monday 3 February and those who successfully register will then be in receipt of the free school meals from Monday 24 February 2025.

The council is urging people to apply online now: https://t.co/6M4bvENy1U

The welcome news will also be promoted on social media and via the council’s Money Matters team, staff who work across primary schools, community food larders, community centres, libraries and other local venues to ensure everyone is aware of the expanded provision.

Councillor Shaun Macaulay, Cabinet Member for Education and Young People, said: “The Scottish Child Payment is already helping families who may be struggling during the ongoing Cost-of-Living crisis as parents and carers have the weekly challenge of making ends meet.

“With the next phase of the free school meals roll-out now on the horizon, we hope that all eligible families apply via the online application form to ensure that more primary school pupils can get access to healthy and nutritious food for free in their own school.”

The plans are part of the Scottish Government’s strategy to reduce child poverty as well as to promote healthy eating.

In North Ayrshire, work has already been happening behind the scenes including creating extra storage and food preparation areas in kitchens and redesigning seating and server layouts to ensure a streamlined lunchtime service.
