❌❌Important notice ❌❌

Please be advised our group that runs on a Tuesday afternoon in Weysham at Kymin View school will not be on for the next two weeks, 16th and 23rd June. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

It’s National Picnic Week and what a perfect excuse to take your lunch outside.

In all the excitement, children may want to explore but it’s important to encourage them to sit down when eating to reduce the risk of choking.

Plus, don’t forget choking is silent, so be sure to watch them whilst they’re eating so you can react quickly if they get into trouble.

What’s your favourite picnic snack for your children? Let us know in the comments.

We are kicking off our celebrations tomorrow at our Flying Start Centre in Abergavenny 3-5pm. 20 Years of Flying Start. Pop along to share your journey and have a cheeky bit of cake 🎂

Home remedies such as turmeric, toothpaste, eggs or ice are still commonly used to treat burns. But these can actually do more harm than good.

Anything greasy traps the heat under the greasy layer and prevents heat from escaping.

Plus, the nurse will need to remove the home remedy to treat the burn. This can be painful and distressing for a child, especially if the remedy was oily or sticky.

Instead, remember COOL, CALL, COVER
COOL the burn for 20 minutes under cool (not cold) or lukewarm running water.
CALL for help for any burn bigger than a 50p coin.
COVER the burn loosely with cling film or a clean, non-fluffy dressing or cloth.
