Holocaust Memorial Day takes place annually on 27 January. It’s the anniversary of the liberation of the largest Nazi concentration camp, Auschwitz-Birkenau, by Soviet troops in 1945.

In the UK, it is organised by the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust, the charity that was established and funded by the UK Government to promote and support Holocaust Memorial Day in the UK.

Since it began, more than 600 households in Warwickshire have stepped forward, hosting and supporting nearly 1000 refugees in a unique way. Warwickshire residents provide not just accommodation, but a warm welcome, a network of support and help with settling into the UK.

Throughout the school holiday, parents can choose from a range of fun and educational events at Ryton Pools and Kingsbury Water Park, designed to help children learn about wildlife and develop a love for nature.

To help you know what to expect, and to learn more about how to respond to the offer you’ve been made, you are invited to join our school admissions team at an online webinar on Tuesday 28 February at 7pm.

At the event, called “Getting your Secondary School Offer: Guidance for Parents and Carers”, the admissions team will share advice and guidance on the decision you will need to make to accept or decline your school offer and explain what happens next. There will also be an opportunity for you to ask questions during the event.

As the cost-of-living crisis prompts more people to consider buying second-hand domestic appliances, it’s never been more important to register your appliances, so that manufacturers can let you know if there is a safety repair or recall on the product.

One such visitor who made a lasting impression is 6-year-old Evelyn, who visited Nuneaton Fire Station with her mother Laura before Christmas. The crew were touched when Evelyn gave them her prized possession: her toy fire engine.
