Traveling by train this summer? 🚆🚂
If you or your child needs extra support, Passenger Assist is a free service available across the National Rail network.
You can request assistance for your journey, including:
🚉 Help navigating the station
🚆 Support getting on and off the train
🦽 A boarding ramp, where needed
🔄 Help changing trains
🧳 Assistance with carrying luggage (subject to luggage limits)
💚 Support for people with non-visible disabilities
If your journey involves more than one train company, any train company can arrange assistance for your entire journey, making it easier to travel with confidence.
While it's best to book in advance, train companies now accept Passenger Assist booking requests up to two hours before your journey. If you haven't booked, you can still ask for help when you arrive at the station – staff will do their best to assist you.
Find out more about Passenger Assist, how it works and how to book on the National Rail website

Book assisted travel on National Rail services with Passenger Assist. You can book in advance, any time up to 2 hours before your journey is due to start.

Drowning is nearly always preventable.
Every year, lives are lost in incidents that could have been avoided. In fact, almost 9 out of 10 child drownings reviewed by a Child Death Overview Panel could have been prevented.
Whether you're spending time at the beach, by a river, lake, or swimming pool this summer, taking a few moments to understand water safety can make all the difference.
✅ Always supervise children around water.
✅ Know the risks before entering the water.
✅ Learn lifesaving water safety skills.
✅ Never underestimate the dangers of open water.
Together, we can help prevent drowning and keep our communities safe.
Stay Safe. Swim Smart. 🌊💙

We often encourage friends and family to rest, take breaks and ask for help - but do we give ourselves the same permission?
This week, take one small step for yourself:
✨ Say no when you need to
✨ Take a proper lunch break
✨ Get an early night
✨ Do something you enjoy
You deserve care too.
