St Albans Community Association

St Albans Community Association St Albans is a medium-sized charity, providing a wide range of support services to the local community.

The charity was established in 1983, with the commitment of a number of people, including Pat Ryan and Beryl Chandler. Pat remained on the Board until 2009 and although Pat is not directly involved in St Albans, she was still on hand for the support and advice we needed from time to time until she sadly passed away in January 2012. The organisation is funded by several means, including the local authority, individual grant funders, donations and charges for services. St Albans prides itself on supporting members of the local to participate in a wide range of activities to improve their lives.

The everyday hazards we often overlook:

โ˜•๐—›๐—ผ๐˜ ๐—ฑ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ธ๐˜€ - A cuppa can still scald 15 minutes after it's made. It's the number one cause of scald injuries for young children.
๐Ÿณ ๐—œ๐—ป ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ธ๐—ถ๐˜๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ป - Hot pans, kettles, hobs, and irons. A moment's distraction is all it takes.

๐ŸŽ† ๐—ฆ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐˜€๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ฎ๐—น ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐˜€๐—ธ๐˜€ - With Halloween, Diwali, Bonfire Night and fireworks season here, please take extra care.

Do you know the life-saving first aid? Remember: ๐—–๐—ข๐—ข๐—Ÿ, ๐—–๐—”๐—Ÿ๐—Ÿ, ๐—–๐—ข๐—ฉ๐—˜๐—ฅ

1.๐—–๐—ข๐—ข๐—Ÿ : Cool the burn with cool running water for a full 20 minutes. No toothpaste, butter, or ice.
2. ๐—–๐—”๐—Ÿ๐—Ÿ: Get help if needed - call 999, 111 or your GP for advice.
3. ๐—–๐—ข๐—ฉ๐—˜๐—ฅ: Cover loosely with cling film or a clean, non-fluffy dressing.

And a quick 2-minute check today could save a life: test your smoke alarms, keep matches/lighters out of reach, and keep hot drinks out of reach of little hands.

Please share this - you never know who might need it.

Extending on from our bear hunt story, the children went on a colour hunt! ๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿงธ

This hands-on activity helps children develop their fine motor skills by using tweezers, while also consolidating their understanding of sorting and colour matching.

This approach dramatically boosts cognitive development by training the brain to categorise, spot patterns and solve problems, while the fine motor practice lays the vital groundwork for early pencil control and writing. โœ๏ธ

So much learning through play!

It is treatable, but not curable.
In the UK we call it secondary breast cancer.

Today we pause to:

โ€ข Honour those living with secondary breast cancer and those we have lost
โ€ข Listen to the reality of living with ongoing treatment, scans, and uncertainty
โ€ข Recognise that research funding still heavily favours early-stage messaging โ€“ we need more for secondary breast cancer
