Help Keep Children Cosy at Christmas

 

An appeal for children’s winter coats and warm pyjamas was launched last Friday to help keep children cosy this Christmas.

2020 has been a tough year for so many people and we want to make it just a little bit better for children and families in Dorset. That’s why we asked for those who can, to donate new, or nearly new, winter coats and warm pyjamas that are suitable for ages 3-12.

We have received lots of donations. Collection dates start next week, there is no need to book, you just need to turn up on the dates/times given below and find a suitable coat for their child/ren. No form filling-in or paperwork to complete…

Please use the link below for more information about the appeal.

 

Help keep children cosy at Christmas - Dorset Council news

 

How it works:

There will be one week where people can drop off items, an isolation period for the clothing to minimise the risk of COVID-19 transmission, and then a week where families can drop-in and pick-up coats and pyjamas.

No checks, forms or pre-booking – simply help where it’s needed.

Drop-off: Friday 4 – Thursday 10 December (subject to individual opening times)
Pick-up: Monday 14 – Friday 18th (subject to individual opening times)

Water Safety Information from Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service

 

Madam Hooch from Harry Potter (Zoë Wanamaker CBE) has read a water safety story for us! https://www.dwfire.org.uk/education/safe-by-the-water/

 

As we head into summer and hopefully some nice weather, children and families are likely to spend more time in or near water, and although cool and inviting water can be dangerous and unpredictable. The stories “Safe at the Seaside” and “Safe at the River” will help young children understand what they can do to help themselves stay safe, and what to do if they do get in trouble in water.
