We work to ensure that you have access to the resources and knowledge to help you make informed choices in order to protect yourself and your loved ones.   I hope that 2026 is treating you very kindly. For me, January arrived with a bang, or two bangs actually. I toppled over on an icy patch of pavement, not once but twice. It was *extremely* painful. Please take extra care of yourselves. I feel very fortunate to only have a couple of bruises.
The advice from RoSPA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents) and at least one NHS Trust, for navigating slippery pavements is to walk like a penguin. I know it sounds silly, but it’s better than a broken bone. Take small, careful steps and keep your knees slightly bent to stay balanced. Find more guidance on how to stay safe in the cold weather here.  The December newsletter is now available and includes the latest news and updates from VIC.

At Alpha Vesta, our mission remains unwavering: to break the cycle of domestic abuse through awareness, prevention and early intervention and we are grateful to our continued funders that share our vision, investing in a future free from domestic abuse.
As we approach Christmas, many of us think of celebration, connection and time spent with the people we love. Yet for others, the festive season can be a very difficult and stressful time of year facing fear, isolation and the pressure to keep everything “perfect” to avoid conflict.  Welcome back to the Early Years newsletter, supporting your work families. Now that we have launched Best Start in Life (BSiL), we are working to update our existing resources so that we can support partners looking to promote healthy early years behaviours, from breastfeeding and introducing solid foods, to home learning environment and parent-infant relationships.
In this edition we focus on the resources and offer for partners supporting breastfeeding families. This includes various leaflets, posters, digital screens, a noteworthy news item and some handy facts and stats. We hope to have re-branded BSiL breastfeeding resources in the New Year (as well as resources for our other topics), but you can still order existing resources for use now - hurry and order fast before stocks run out! |
