NO-ONE SHOULD GO HUNGRY! A lady self- isolating, unable to shop - with no family or friends to help - left stuck without essential items. Someone shielding, who was receiving government food parcels and now anxious that this help will be stopped. A person who had been furloughed and the company couldn’t afford to pay any extra. A mother of two who had regularly been skipping her own meals so there was enough for her children. This crisis continues to affect us. Our WAMA food boxes of essential items are available to anyone who needs one.
Click below for more details of how to order one, or call the WAMA number 07545 042794.

We can now access thousands of local and national newspapers free of charge through our online library resources.
They now offer the majority of national and local papers in addition to a range of international titles.
During the coronavirus pandemic there has been a significant increase in the number of people accessing online library resources, so they have been increased and expanded with the help on a grant of £1,000 from the Arts Council England.
South Gloucestershire Libraries also offer ebooks, eaudiobooks, digital magazines and eComics.
After successfully re-opening three of our Sort It recycling centres at Thornbury and Yate last weekend, we are now in a position to accept a full range of waste at both sites from Thursday 21 May.
Some restrictions around the type of waste that could be disposed of were in place so we could implement essential social distancing measures and evaluate how efficiently the sites were operating with the measures in place.
With residents listening to advice around only using the sites if absolutely necessary, it now means we can return to accepting our normal range of waste and we will continue to offer extended opening hours until further notice: 6am to 6pm, 7 days a week, including Bank Holiday Monday 25 May.
Please look out for a black neutered male cat that has gone missing in the Cowship Lane area.
It disappeared around a week ago, and the owner would be grateful if you could check in your sheds/garages etc.
Please email below if you can help...

Red Door Coaching and Training are very pleased that their new website is live! We have updated our look to reflect how Red Door has progressed over the last few years. We are also sharing what we can do for our clients in an easier to access, clearer format.
This period of lockdown has made us make many changes to how we are working. For the first time we are running online workshops, successfully delivering training remotely to teams working from their homes.
Our experience of delivering workshops that focus on Managing Remote Teams, Managing by Outcomes, Dealing with Stress and Resilience have been valuable to our business in these different times.
While we have been getting used to working from home we are equally looking forward to stepping back into the wider world.
South Gloucestershire Council are inviting feedback on our new Council Plan which covers the period 2020 to 2024.
