Shropshire’s Summer Holidays Activities and Food Programme
Shropshire Council this week have awarded DfE grant funding to groups, organisations and individuals in the county, who are delivering a high quality and exciting programme of holiday activity and/or enrichment opportunities, over the summer for children and young people (aged 5-16).
With temperatures high this week, health experts across the county are advising people to stay safe and well during the hot weather.
Shropshire Council’s Stay Safe and Well this Summer webpages offers a host of advice for people young and old, to help keep cool and hydrated throughout the hot weather.
The website also provides advice and information on home and personal safety, and signposts people to other summer-related advice including:
Energy provider E.ON is working with Shropshire Council to help residents reduce their energy bills and make their homes warmer and more affordable this summer. The Warmer Homes Shropshire scheme is installing free first-time gas central heating systems in eligible1 residents’ homes.
Administering £500 test and trace support payments for people that were told to self-isolate due to Covid-19
We’ve broadened criteria for the £500 discretionary Test and Trace self-isolation payment, for applicants suffering financial hardship that don’t meet the main national scheme’s criteria. The scheme has also now been extended to include parents and guardians of a child or young person who has been told to self-isolate, where the parent or guardian meet the criteria.
On the 16th and 17th June, Shropshire Council are hosting Tech Severn 2021 in partnership with the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy. This FREE virtual conference will explore the crucial role technology and innovation must play in our efforts to tackle climate change and achieve global sustainability.
