This August Sandwell Council's road safety team is running an exciting summer cycling scheme for children aged between 10 and 12.

The cyclists will be working towards their Bikeability Level 2 award whilst having fun and meeting new friends.

The Stroke Association recognises that carers need some support as well as the stroke survivor. Our carer training provides information and practical advice to help people who care for somebody affected by stroke. Please note this course is not for professionals.

Carers from across Sandwell can make a positive difference to their life and that of the person they care for by attending free, local group sessions which have just launched in the town.

Caring with Confidence is a free programme which helps carers aged 18 and over build on their own strengths, share experiences and gain useful information, ideas and tips about looking after someone to help them decide how to make positive changes to their caring role.

A jam-packed and fun-filled programme of enjoyable events and festivals are lined up to keep you entertained this month.  Find out what events are going on at the Public this month from Sandwell Arts Festival to the fantastic Fudgestock music festival.
