✨ Batteries might be small… but the BOOM they can cause is not! 😳🔥

Let’s keep our bin crews safe and our lorries fire‑free by getting rid of old batteries the correct way

Instead of tossing them in your household bin (where they can spark fires), drop them off at:

✅ supermarkets
✅ Household Recycling Centres
✅ local battery collection points

It’s quick. It’s easy. And it seriously helps prevent dangerous fires in bin trucks and recycling facilities.

🙌So next time a battery runs out of juice, give it a proper send‑off. Visit https://www.letswasteless.com or https://www.recycleyourelectricals.org.uk for a list of places where you can recycle your batteries. 🔥❌

We often talk about small children drowning. But any child can drown - even strong swimmers.

They may overestimate how strong a swimmer they are or underestimate risks in the sea or open water, like lakes, rivers and reservoirs.

Please talk to your older children about water safety:

💧Teach them to choose safe places to swim like public pools and beaches with lifeguards

💧Explain the risk of swimming in open water. Even on a very warm day, open water can be cold enough to cause cold water shock. This physical reaction makes it hard to control breathing or to swim, causing swimmers to panic.

💧Talk to them about what to do if this ever happens. And teach them how to float.

It only takes a second.

A quick distraction.
An open window.
A curious child.

Falls from windows can be devastating - but they’re preventable.

✔️Keep low furniture away from open windows so that children can’t climb up
✔️Install window restrictors or locks if you can
✔️If your window won’t lock or you need to open the window wider, don’t leave young children alone in the room

Let’s make homes safer together.
