Sun's out, buns out! (on the BBQ, obviously) 😎🌞

We only get the sun a couple of times a year, so here's some tips from Scottish Fire and Rescue Service to help keep your home and garden safe if you're getting your grill on:

🔥Avoid Alcohol If You Are in Charge of the Barbecue
To make sure you can react quickly if anything goes wrong

🔥 Keep Emergency Supplies Nearby
Always have a bucket of water, sand, or a garden hose nearby when barbecuing.

🔥Never Use a Portable Barbecue or Lit Charcoal Indoors
This can lead to a build-up of carbon monoxide, which can be fatal.

🔥Never Leave a Barbecue Unattended
If you need to step away, ask another responsible adult to watch the grill.

🔥Choose a Safe Barbecue Site
Make sure your barbecue site is flat and well away from sheds, fences, trees, shrubs, or garden waste.

🔥Keep Children and Pets Away
Children and pets can be unpredictable and might accidentally knock over the barbecue or burn themselves.

🔥Use the Right Amount of Charcoal
You should use enough charcoal to cover the base of the barbecue, usually around 5 centimetres or 2 inches. Too much charcoal can lead to an uncontrollable fire.

🔥Dispose of Ashes Properly
Only dispose of ashes once they are cold to the touch. Throwing hot ashes into a bin can melt plastic and start a fire.

🔥Cool the Barbecue Before Moving
After cooking, make sure the barbecue is completely cool before moving it.

🔥Use Proper Lighting Methods
Never use petrol or paraffin to light your barbecue. These substances are highly flammable and can cause explosions or uncontrollable fires.

Today is - a time to celebrate the fathers and father figures who help turn houses into homes. 💜

Whether in their home, garden, local park, or community space, dads play a vital role in creating places where families feel safe, supported, and connected.

Today also marks the culmination of Scottish Refugee Council's Refugee Festival Scotland - an opportunity to recognise and celebrate the dads who have crossed borders, overcome challenges, and built new beginnings for their families in a new home.

We know that home means more than just a roof over your head. Home is:
🏡 Safety
❤️ Family
🤝 Belonging
🌱 Opportunity
😊 Community
✨ Hope

⚡Phone, Xbox, telly, laptop, microwave - we all have loads of appliances plugged in and switched on every day in our homes. So it's really important to make sure the electricity supply in your house is safe.

⚡As your landlord, WSHA has a legal obligation to inspect and test the electrical installation in your home every five years. These regular checks help us identify and address any issues before they become dangerous, keeping your home safe for you, your family, and your neighbours.

⚡ If your electrical inspection is due, we will write to you to let you know. Our contractor will then phone you to book an appointment. Please make time to let us into your home - these checks help keep your home and your family safe.

If you have any questions or issues about this inspection you can contact WSHA's Asset Department for further information on [email protected] or 0141 550 5600.

(P.S. We recommend not letting a LEGO minifigure check your electricity)

During Men’s Health Week, we want to help to break the stereotype that men don't talk. We know there is real strength in opening up about our shared struggles - especially those awkward or difficult experiences that make us humans!

Because sometimes the first step to feeling better is simply being part of something, let’s build confidence and connect with others.

There are some great men’s community groups across Ayrshire Lanarkshire and Glasgow.
