This puts the £84m to deal with #RoughSleeping in perspective- small amounts to prevent homelessness & rough sleeping would massively reduce this shortfall (plus taking SEND transport back in-house) & preventative work on Adult Social Care)
Council funding shortfall is an iceberg that the Government cannot ignore UNISON estimates that the shortfall, between what councils need to run services and what they receive, amounts to £4.1bn in 2026/27. https://t.co/0rMwGDMSU9

Don’t like to quarrel, but their employment practices are really not the best….
Great to pop into the Bellwether in Wednesbury for something tasty to eat and say hi to the team there. Gotta love a Spoons!

This is indeed great news - our oceans & marine wildlife need all the help they can get
🌊 Great news! Spain has just approved 5 new marine protected areas and 1 special protection area for birds—covering 17,000 km². 🇪🇸 This brings protected waters to 22.45%, closing in on the 25% target for 2025. Next step: ensuring effective management! https://t.co/45UBIzj6LJ

Giving Back Club, today, the members continued their volunteering work creating draught excluders for Little A.R.K. This involved members to mark & cut material. Everyone worked together collaboratively, demonstrating strong teamwork. Well done for accomplishing the task at hand
