Join Herefordshire Council’s Webinar on Climate Adaptation
As climate change brings more intense and frequent extreme weather events, such as flooding and heatwaves, adaptation becomes crucial. Herefordshire Council, in partnership with Sustainability West Midlands, has developed the county’s first Adaptation Plan.
Town and Parish Councils, Public and Private Sector Enterprises, Community Groups and Leaders are invited to attend a webinar to find out more about the plan, get the opportunity to engage with experts, gain insights, and discover how to work together to reduce the detrimental impacts of climate change on our communities.
The webinar is on Friday 14th June, 11am – 12pm. Tickets are free, and can be reserved via Eventbrite.
Refresh your Mental Health First Aid skills with a free course
Are you an Orange Button wearer, Health Champion, or someone whose MHFA certificate is pre September 2022? Now is the time to refresh your skills with a four-hour refresher course. Valued at £150, but available for free to people who have previously completed the Adult MHFA course (bargain!), this interactive, face-to-face session will help you stay confident and effective in your role as a mental health first aider. Spaces are limited, so book while you can.
The course will take place on Friday 14th June at The Old Library Centre, Droitwich.
More information and tickets can be found on the Herefordshire and Worcestershire Wellbeing and Recovery College website.
