We’ve collated a hub of helpful resources to support mental health and wellbeing for individuals, families, and communities.

Whether you’re looking for self-care advice, advice on how you can support others, or how to access NHS mental health services, you’ll find it here.

Council was proud to welcome the Speak Their Name Quilt to Trafford Town Hall as part of our Vigil of Hope.

The quilt, lovingly created by families bereaved by su***de, is a moving tribute to those we have lost and a reminder that every life matters.

The vigil brought the community together in remembrance, compassion, and hope for the future — working side by side to prevent su***de and support those affected.

The quilt is now on display at Sale Waterside Arts Centre until October 7

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

Are your child’s vaccinations up to date? Our A-Z service finder has helpful information about this. You can check their Red Book or contact your GP practice if you’re not sure. It’s important that vaccines are given on time for the best protection, but it’s never too late to catch up on missed doses.

Visit our website for more information via the link in our comments.

Measles can be dangerous. Some people get very sick from measles and can develop pneumonia and meningitis. One in five people with measles will go to hospital and in very rare cases people can die. Ask your GP practice about your free MMR vaccination.
