When you're busy, smoke alarms might be the last thing on your mind.

But taking a few minutes to check the smoke alarms in your home are working could save your family in the event of a fire.

Please press the test button on your alarm until it sounds. Then tag a loved one and remind them to test theirs too.

💜🧡Volunteer opportunity with Home-Start Kirklees💜🧡

We have a small number of spaces available on our next Home-Start volunteer preparation and training course, starting on Thursday 29 January at Bates Mill in central Huddersfield.

This course is for people who are interested in becoming home-visiting volunteers, supporting local families with young children through regular, friendly contact and practical support.

You only need experience as a parent or with young children. We provide full training, ongoing guidance, and continued support once you’re volunteering. What matters most is a willingness to listen, offer encouragement, and be there for families when it counts.

If volunteering is something you’ve been considering this year, this could be a really positive first step.

You can find out more and apply via the Home-Start Kirklees website, or you’re very welcome to message us if you’d like to ask a few questions before deciding.

Please feel free to share this with anyone locally who you think might be interested.
