UK Health Security Agency advice - be tick aware.



Ticks can be active all year round, but they are most active in the months April to July, and sometimes later in the autumn.

Don't let ticks stop you from enjoying the outdoors but reduce the chance of acquiring a tick bite by:

Using a repellent that prevents ticks
Wearing long sleeves and long trousers to reduce direct skin exposure
Keep to clearly defined paths and avoid brushing against vegetation
Regularly check for ticks and brush off any you find immediately
When you’re back indoors, check for any ticks on you, your children and pets
If you find a tick, remove it as soon as possible with a removal device

Fighting With Pride guide to help & support 2024.



Three of the pillars of action for Fighting With Pride (FWP) are Direct Support, Community Building and Capacity Building. In partnership with The Veteran UK we have produced a resource to showcase our community, highlight the direct support we are gaining from partner organisations, government and service chiefs and list the many organisations joining our Pride in Veterans Standard (PiVS), expanding our capacity to reach LGBT+ veterans, serving members, reservists, adult cadet force members and their families.

This is our inaugural digital version, focusing on the community and listing the rapidly growing number of organisations joining PiVS and offering services and support to you. It shows organisations, local and national, that offer support from housing to employment, education to therapy, social networks to physical and mental health services and so many others, and who, as members of PiVS, have shown a commitment to the particular help and support needed for LGBT+ veterans and families.
