This Sunday at 3pm

| The UK government will be carrying out a national test of the Emergency Alerts system on Sunday 7 September at 3pm.

If you have a compatible mobile phone or tablet, you’ll receive an alert that will make a loud sound and vibrate. You don’t need to do anything when this happens.

Emergency Alerts are designed to keep people safe by warning about serious dangers nearby, such as extreme weather. Regular testing helps make sure the system works properly if it’s ever needed in an emergency.

There may be individuals who might need to opt out of the alert and information on to do this is available on the government website: https://orlo.uk/JBxdn

Whatever you read in the media, this is the reality.

Young people’s mental health is getting worse. And the support they need just isn’t there.

Half of young people on a waiting list for mental health support have been waiting over a year. More than 1 in 4 have been waiting over 2 years.

We have to invest more in early intervention, so more young people get help before they reach crisis point.
