A big thank you to the Flood Action Group (FLAG) volunteers who gave up their Sunday to clear the watercourse in front of the village school. This ditch carries surface water from the north of the village, and after last year’s floods, making sure it’s clear is an important step in keeping the village safe this rainy season.

Efforts are underway across Gloucestershire to boost uptake of the Healthy Start scheme, which helps low-income families access fruit, vegetables, milk, and infant formula. Thanks to Feeding Gloucestershire, each district has received microgrant funding to raise awareness through posters, banners, and community outreach. Local Healthy Start Champions are also being trained to help eligible families apply. With 66% of eligible households already signed up, there's real momentum—now the goal is to go even further and ensure no family misses out on this vital nutritional support.

Residents across the Cotswolds are invited to a series of free “Strengthening Communities” events this summer and beyond, with activities and refreshments for all ages.

The events are open to everyone. For more information, email: community.support@cotswold.gov.uk
