• Harvest

  Tue 24 Oct 2023

  Harvest Festival. Thank you for your generosity—we were able to make a huge donation to the Cheylesmore Food Hub.   They were thrilled and sent an email of thanks, some of which is copied below: We've been blown away with your kindness. We can't begin to tell you what a difference this makes, especially when our store cupboard is looking bare. The generosity from all of you who donated does translate to the individuals and families we sup port, making them feel cared for and seen as a result, which is so important. However as we are all too aware the cost of living crisis is no where near over and there is still a huge need to support one another. We anticipate another big increase in our member ship and far more emergency parcels needed with people coming from all over the city, so we need your help more than ever…   To all of you at Earlsdon Primary School, thank you so very much for the wonderful support you've given us, we cannot thank you enough. Thank you also to Rev. Tulo who joined us in school on Tues day and led our Harvest assemblies

• West Midlands Police

  Mon 16 Oct 2023

  West Midlands Police have partnered with The Children’s Society and British Transport Police to help raise awareness of exploitation. We are working hard with our specialist teams and community partners to disrupt and prosecute criminal gangs exploiting young people.

   

  Do you know the signs of child exploitation? Would you know where to report exploitation if you spotted the signs?

   

  Exploitation can happen anywhere. It happens online and offline. Children are being targeted outside fast food outlets, at shopping centres, through online games, and social media. There are many types of child exploitation including money laundering, stealing from shops, transporting drugs via trains and bus routes.

   

  Signs of child exploitation
  Ask yourself, is a young person:
  • Travelling alone, particularly in school hours, late at night or frequently?
  • Looking lost or in unfamiliar surroundings?
  • Anxious, frightened, angry or displaying other behaviours that make you worried about them?
  • In possession of more than one phone?
  • Carrying lots of cash?
  • Potentially under the influence of drugs or alcohol?
  • Being instructed or controlled by another individual?
  • Accompanied by individuals who are older than them?
  • Seen begging in a public space?

  
  You can find out more information from the #LookCloser campaign website here #LookCloser To Spot Exploitation | The Children's Society (childrenssociety.org.uk)

  
  If something doesn't feel right, don't wait, report it:
  Call the police on 101 or 999 in an emergency. Text the British Transport Police on 61016
  Call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. Call the NSPCC on 0808 800 5000

  
  If you would like to talk to your schools officer about exploitation or your concerns, please get in touch with
  the school or your local police team today Your Local Police | West Midlands Police (westmidlands.police.uk)

   

  Thank you
