๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒŸ Light Up the Longest Night โ€“ Tomorrow! ๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿ’š

Sunday 21 December 2025 marks the longest night of the year, with the sun setting around 4:00pm.

Staffordshire County Councilโ€™s Public Health Team is proud to partner with the Samaritans to remind everyone that they are always there to listen, even though the long winter nights and festive season.

Last year, Samaritans volunteers responded to thousands of calls across the UK and Ireland over Christmas and New Year. This year, Staffordshire volunteers will be on hand round-the-clock, ensuring anyone struggling has someone to turn to.

To mark the occasion, several council buildings, will be lit up green. They are also inviting individuals, businesses, and organisations to join in by displaying a light in their window.

Letโ€™s come together to shine a light of hope this winter. ๐Ÿ’š

๐Ÿคง๐Ÿฆ  Cold or flu - knowing the difference might not seem urgent, but it can help you act right. A cold often develops slowly and stays mostly around your nose and throat, while the flu tends to hit fast, affects your whole body and leaves you feeling really unwell.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Check what to expect and when to seek help:

Rest well, keep hydrated and if things feel worse than โ€œjust a coldโ€, donโ€™t hesitate to seek advice.
