 Hertfordshire County Council have put together the Your Connected Life leaflet to help you keep active and in touch with useful services where you can receive extra support. Have a read and please share.    Everything is Possible, is a non-profit organisation which has been supporting young people and inclusion for more than 20 years in the UK. They have helped thousands of young people, to experience international mobility opportunities. This experience brought them intercultural awareness, raised self-esteem and help them gain competences they would need for their future, while for others it has helped them to get the job they wanted. They currently have volunteering projects to offer and are looking for participants aged 18-30, living within the UK. These projects may be an alternative opportunity for those who have not achieved what they hoped for in their A-levels or may not now be going to university due to COVID-19 disruptions. These fully funded (by the European Voluntary Corps programme) projects starting from January 2021 are taking place in countries such as Greece, Aruba, Croatia or Italy in fields such as Sport coaching / Dance / Animal care and outdoor activities / Arts / Social Work To find out more please see the attached poster and visit www.everythingispossible.eu to register for their next information session online. #volunteering#volunteeringopportunities#volunteerabroad#hertfordshire   We are looking to interview a young working person from the Welwyn Hatfield area for a new report – The long shadow of deprivation – differences in opportunity across England. The report is due out next month on 15 September 2020. The reason for approaching you is that our research has identified Welwyn Hatfield as an area where young people from disadvantaged backgrounds can expect relatively high earnings, compared to the national average, and there are plenty of local job opportunities for them to develop their careers.

By the following day (Wednesday) scammers had started making phone calls to residents in Bishops Stortford, pretending to be a part of this scheme. Hertfordshire County Council Trading Standards advises that if you receive a call referring to a grant for loft insulation or cavity wall insulation it is a scam. Just say ‘no thank you’ and terminate the call. The genuine scheme will launch in September, with online applications being required for recommended energy efficiency measures, giving details of accredited local suppliers. Once one of these suppliers has provided a quote and the work is approved, the voucher is issued. There is no cold calling involved. It is up to the homeowner to make the approach, so instantly you know it’s a scam if you are contacted out of the blue. Please warn family and friends who may be vulnerable to these types of scams. If you have fallen for a scam please report it via email to Action Fraud or call them on – T: 0300 123 2040. For advice or to ask for help for a scams victim from Trading Standards, please call the Citizens Advice Helpline on – T: 0808 223 1133. Members of our BAME Community across Hertfordshire have kindly put together a series of videos, in a range of languages, to share social distancing advice. It also highlights the importance of finding ways to look after our mental health as well as our physical health.
