🤒 Is My Child Too Ill for School?

Sniffles or something more serious? It’s not always easy to tell when your child should stay home or head to class.

The NHS has clear guidance to help you decide – and to protect other children from spreading illness.

📌 Check the advice here: https://patient.info/news-and-features/when-is-your-child-too-sick-to-go-to-school

Let’s keep everyone healthy this term!

Imagine a kitchen where everyone’s welcome.

Where we cook, share, and learn together.

Where food is healthy, affordable, and community-led.

The Parish Hall is fundraising to make this a reality - and Wellmoor are proud to be supporting their efforts as part of the Nourishing Dartmoor project with Knead to Connect CIC.

They’re aiming to raise £10,000 over 12 weeks to create a Community Kitchen that will support families, food projects, and the wider community.

Let’s help them get there 🧡

When you find out you are pregnant, you can refer yourself for NHS pregnancy care so you start care with a midwife right away.

Once you sign up online, the maternity team will contact you to book your first appointment with a midwife.

You should do this by the 10th week of pregnancy, if possible, but it’s never too late to start. If you're over 10 weeks, refer yourself as soon as you can.

Start here: https://www.nhs.uk/nhs-services/refer-yourself-for-nhs-pregnancy-care/
