You can access your child’s code quickly and easily at: www.cornwall.gov.uk/time2move Once you have this code you can search and book on activities here: www.activecornwall.org/T2MHolidayProgramme The activities are all delivered by approved providers with the main focus on fun and enjoyment.

According to the Environment Agency, over five million people in England live and work in properties at risk of flooding from rivers or the sea, whilst more face flood threats from groundwater, surface water, sewers, and reservoirs.

At Gocompare, we have put together a guide to preparing for a flood and protecting your property - https://www.gocompare.com/home-insurance/limiting-flood-risk-and-damage/

In extreme conditions you won't be able to stop flood water, and you should always put personal safety above attempts to protect property and possessions. Despite this, there are steps that you can take to keep water out, to buy yourself time to preserve property and possessions, and to limit the damage that flood water does.

The Community Gateway is now live. Open 7 days a week, from 8am until 8pm, it offers a simple point of access into community support. It can connect to the Warm Banks network, community hubs, offer support on hospital discharge, help people navigate to the right place at the right time, and is a safe space for conversation. Although hosted by Age UK Cornwall, the Gateway offers the skills and experience of an inclusive range of charities and VCSE organisations.

Please cascade the number and email far and wide. It can support individual referrals and cohorts of people who might benefit from our collective services. It is open to all. It connects to local volunteer networks and is working in partnership with ICA’s, local coordination points, and the Virtual Care team to wrap services around the individual and ensure appropriate escalation.
