Nottingham stands with Ukraine

Nottingham stands with Ukraine

As the fighting intensifies in Ukraine people all over the world are watching the news in horror at the devastating scenes coming from a sovereign European state. As expected, Nottingham?s response to the awful situation has been quick and generous. People in Nottingham have already organised many fundraising events, raised thousands of pounds and donated much needed items for the Ukrainian people caught up in this war.?

Yesterday local people again gathered at the Brian Clough statue in memory of those Ukrainians who have already lost their lives to Putin's war. I was humbled to speak at this vigil and offer my condolences to all those who have lost loved ones or are worried about families and friends in Ukraine.

A national emergency fund-raising appeal has been set up to support Ukrainian people and donations can be made here www.dec.org.uk [ [link removed] ].?

A vision for better health and wellbeing for all

Mel Barrett, Chief Executive of Nottingham City Council

I?m pleased that our council?s Chief Executive Mel Barrett has been appointed to head up the city?s drive to improve health and wellbeing for our citizens. Mel will take over as Lead of the Nottingham City Place Based Partnership on 1 April.

The partnership brings together health and care services including GPs, the council, community services and hospitals, as well as wider services provided by the community, voluntary and social enterprise sector.

Mel?s role leading both the City Council and the PCB will strengthen our ambition to improve health and wellbeing and reduce health inequalities in Nottingham. You can read more about his appointment here: Nottingham City Place Based Partnership [ [link removed] ]

While the pandemic has brought into sharp focus the inequalities that exist in our city, the response to Covid-19 in Nottingham has proven what is possible when a group of organisations work together around a shared purpose.

With that in mind, I?d like to give a massive thank you to all the homecare, social care and care home staff in Nottingham who've made a huge difference to the lives of people in our city during the pandemic. You can watch some of their stories here: [link removed] [ [link removed] ]

Get your free Covid-19 kits before the end of March

As you may have heard, as part of the Government?s ?Living with Covid? plan, free access to lateral flow kits to test whether you have Covid-19 will end at the end of March for many of us.

Unless you are aged over 75 or over 12 with weakened immune system, you will soon have to start paying for tests ? whether supervised tests or a box of tests to take home.

As Covid cases are on the rise in Nottingham and across the country, it is a sensible idea to access the free tests, whether from our mobile testing units (details listed below), online, or via pharmacies or community collection points while you can.

To find out more about how to access free lateral flow tests please click here. [ [link removed] ]

Leigh is a Nottingham lad and we?re incredibly proud of what he?s achieved ? we wish him well and look forward to seeing what?s next for him, perhaps a night under the lights at the City Ground awaits!
