☀️ Sun Awareness Week | 11–17 May ☀️
Children’s skin is more delicate than adults’ and can burn easily — even on cloudy days.
Help keep children sun safe by:
🧴 Using SPF 30+ sunscreen
🧢 Wearing hats and sunglasses
👕 Covering up and seeking shade between 11am–3pm
💧 Keeping them well hydrated
It’s never too early to build good sun‑safety habits. Babies under 6 months should stay out of direct sunlight.

💚 Mental Health Awareness Week — 11-17 May 💚
This year's theme is Action — because awareness matters, but so does what we do with it.
As parents and carers, it can be easy to put your own mental health last. But looking after yourself isn't a luxury — it's one of the best things you can do for your children too.
This week, we're encouraging families to take one small action for mental health:
🚶 Get outside and move — even 10 minutes makes a difference
💬 Start a conversation — ask someone how they're really doing
📵 Take a break from screens — yours and theirs
😴 Prioritise sleep — it's the foundation of everything else
🤝 Ask for help if you need it — that's action too
Children and young people's mental health matters just as much. If you're worried about your child's emotional wellbeing, your health visitor or school nurse is a good place to start. 🔗 nhs.uk/every-mind-matters
