As the sixth anniversary of the Covid-19 pandemic approaches we have an opportunity to come together to remember those who lost their lives since the pandemic began and to honour the tireless work and acts of kindness shown during this unprecedented time.

In our Book of Remembrance room, we have flowers and yellow hearts you can dedicate to anyone affected by the pandemic and place on our wall.

Key details for the 2026 Day of Reflection:
• Date: Sunday, 8 March 2026.
• Minute’s Silence: A national minute's silence will be held at 12:00 PM (midday).
• Commemorations: Local events include lighting up landmarks, placing yellow hearts on memorial benches, and community gatherings.
• Key Activity: The public is invited to take part in a national minute's silence, share stories on social media, and support Marie Curie's fundraising efforts.
• Support: The Marie Curie Support Line 0800 090 2309 is available for anyone grieving.

Marie Curie is here for anyone with an illness they’re likely to die from, and those close to them. We are with you to the end.

Today is World Cancer Day — a day to remember, to honour, and to stand together.

We pause to remember the lives lost to cancer, to honour the strength of those who faced it, and to acknowledge the families and friends who continue to carry their loved ones in their hearts.

Cancer touches so many lives in ways both seen and unseen. Today is a reminder of the importance of compassion, support, and hope — for those living with cancer, those caring for them, and those remembering.

Thinking of everyone affected, today and always

There is now an amber warning for snow from 8:00pm on Thursday 8 January until 9:00am on Friday 9 January for Western parts of Nottinghamshire.
Consider whether any journeys you have planned are really necessary. See below for a summary of key advice 👇

⚠️ Storm Goretti - what you need to know in Nottinghamshire ‼️

We know what you're thinking - 'another post about the weather from the county council,' but hear us out because there's been a few changes to the forecast since our last post yesterday!

Yesterday we told you that a yellow weather warning for snow had been issued for Nottinghamshire from Thursday evening into Friday, and this alert has now changed to:

🟠 An amber weather warning for snow for western parts of Nottinghamshire from 8pm on Thursday 8 January until 9am on Friday 9 January.

🟡 A yellow weather warning for snow for all of Nottinghamshire from 5pm on Thursday 8 January until midday on Friday 9 January.

What hasn't changed though is our advice for staying safe in winter weather. Please consider whether your journey is necessary and don't travel if you don't need to. Here's a summary of our key advice from yesterday's post:

❗ Clear ALL of your screen and don't drive with just a small hole in the snow and ice.

✅ Check your screen wash and fuel levels and make sure that tyres meet legal requirements.

⏰ Plan ahead, aim to travel on main roads and leave plenty of time for your journey.

🚘 Pull off in second gear and move away slowly. When braking, leave plenty of room between yourself and other vehicles and apply brakes gently.

🧣 Pack some essentials in your car including warm clothing, appropriate footwear, a scraper and refreshments.

💚 Check in on elderly or vulnerable neighbours who may may struggle during colder weather if you can.
