We're pleased to announce that a new specialist mental health rehabilitation service will open at Hawkesbury Lodge in Coventry.

The 14-bed residential rehabilitation service forms part of our wider strategy to improve access to care closer to home, reduce out-of-area placements, and support people with severe and enduring mental illness to regain independence.

The service will be delivered in partnership with Rethink Mental Illness and is expected to open in October 2026.

Summer can increase the pressure to look a certain way. If you notice negative thoughts about the way you look heavily impacting your life, or if you’re worried about someone else, our friends at Shout and The Mix can help.

78% of the people who text Shout with concerns about how they look say they find the conversation helpful.

For anyone under 25, The Mix’s discussion boards and PeerChat service mean you can speak to someone who understands exactly what you’re going through.

Remember, you’re not alone.

A wonderful day was had at St. Michael’s Summer Fete! ☀️

We were delighted to welcome the new Mayor of Warwick, Simon Pargetter, to join our celebrations earlier this month. Residents, staff, and families enjoyed a fantastic afternoon of sunshine, ice cream, games, and activities organised by our wards.

A huge thank you to everyone who donated, volunteered their time, and helped make the event a success! Your support means so much and helped create a special day for all. 💙
