Dear Parents and Carers,

We would like to share an opportunity from Mind of the Student, who are working in partnership with the NHS on a research project called Building Bridges.

This project aims to improve access to specialist services by better understanding the relationship between the local Black community and eating, mental health, and mental health treatment services.

Parents and carers of Black young people aged 11 to 18 are invited to take part in an online focus group on 12 March. This is an opportunity to share your experiences and views in a supportive and confidential space.

As a thank you for your time, participants will receive a £30 Amazon voucher.

If you would like to take part, please complete the sign-up form below to confirm your place.

Measles / MMR vaccination

Measles cases are rising across the country, with over 102,000 children starting primary school in England being at risk of catching the disease. 

Measles is highly infectious and if left unvaccinated, nine out of ten children in a classroom can catch the disease if just one child is infectious. Please share the resources below to increase awareness and encourage parents/carers to get their children vaccinated.
