⚠️ *Red heat-health alert across parts of England.*

A red heat-health alert has been issued across the Midlands and southern England until 25 June. This is the highest level of alert and means the heat is a risk to *everyone’s health*, not just vulnerable people.

Look after yourself and others. The NHS website has tips and advice on how to cope in hot weather.

Forward this on to others to help everyone stay safe over the next few days.

While lots of people look forward to the England game, for some home may not feel safe.
 
Major sporting events can bring increased fear and risk for people experiencing domestic violence or abuse.
 
*If this is happening to you, or you’re worried about someone else, help is available* 💙
