An amber Cold-Health Alert is in place for the whole of England this week.

Remember that other people, such as older neighbours, friends, and family members, may need a bit of extra help this winter.

There’s lots you can do to help others ➡️ https://t.co/Mxkt5xn6Qs

Sky lanterns rely on an open flame to take to the skies - which makes them a serious fire hazard.

Sky lantern releases risk setting wildlife habitats alight, and even injuring animals directly. Protect nature this New Year, and avoid celebrating with flying lanterns.

Dabble day something different for members to try as we travel around our county

[Women's Institute @WomensInstitute]

Who spotted a subtle appearance of the WI in 'All Creatures Great and Small' again last week? We do like an on-screen, albeit fleeting, image... Just a reminder that we are always watching and working, on the right side of history... Hat tip @WILifemagazine for the screengrab ;)

It's media team meeting. We love to ZOOM

#OnThisDay in 1958, following early Keep Britain Tidy campaigns, The Litter Act came into force.

For the first time offenders could be fined up to £10 for dropping litter. Littering remains a criminal offence today.

Use a bin or take your rubbish with you 🚮

The Squire has been busy hiring today up at 1820s Pockerley Old Hall...he spotted some promising new shepherds, milkmaids, gardeners and maids!

Fancy a dabble ?

[Hedgehog Society @hedgehogsociety]

TOP TIP: If you're growing fruit & veg in your garden or #allotment, make sure all pea-netting is kept a foot above the ground so #hedgehogs can pass safely underneath and will not get caught up in it.

The same applies to sports nets👇
