Enjoying the beach this summer offers a wonderful opportunity for outdoor fun; however, it is essential to remain cautious, especially with the increasing presence of jellyfish as sea temperatures rise and the risk of stepping on a weaver fish.

Being aware of these potential hazards can enhance your beach experience while ensuring your safety.

The NHS is including more people in its bowel screening service, sending out a home-testing kit that can help to detect signs of bowel cancer.
Finding cancer early makes it more treatable. So if you receive one of these kits, don’t delay – take the test. It could save your life.

🌟 Can you help us spark a memory?🌟

Cornwall Libraries are creating Memory Boxes – small, beautiful collections of real-life objects from the past that can spark connection, comfort, and conversation for people living with dementia, brain injury, or recovering from stroke.
Once created these boxes will be available to borrow and we hope to share them with care homes, memory cafés, stroke groups, and even families and schools – anywhere a little spark of remembrance might make a difference.

We are looking for small, clean items from the 1940’s, 1950’s and early 1960’s, everyday items that meant something then, and might mean something now.

🧳 Old postcards, letters, tickets
🪙 Coins, medals, keepsakes
🧸 Toys, comics, schoolbooks
🍽️ Recipe cards, kitchen utensils, food packets
🧵 Fabric swatches, buttons, makeup, soap, smelling salts
🗺️ Maps, souvenirs, telegrams, work equipment– and more
💛 Nothing too big – just full of heart.

👉 Donations can be dropped off at any Cornwall Library, marked with FAO Sarah Marsh. Thank you.
