💚🌟 Light Up the Longest Night – Tomorrow! 🌟💚

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

Staffordshire County Council’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.

Let’s come together to shine a light of hope this winter. 💚

🤧🦠 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.

👉 Check what to expect and when to seek help:
https://patient.info/features/infections/difference-between-cold-and-flu
https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/common-cold/

Rest well, keep hydrated and if things feel worse than “just a cold”, don’t hesitate to seek advice.

👂💡 Ear infections can be painful and frustrating, but knowing the facts can make all the difference! Whether it’s a common middle ear infection or a less common fungal type, it’s helpful to recognise the signs and take steps early.
