We're due to experience extremely hot weather this week 🌡️☀️ Stay safe by following our tips below:

How to stay safe and cool:

- Drink plenty of water, even before you feel thirsty. Doing so will keep you cool and hydrated.

- Wear suncream even if you’re outside for a short time. 

- Keep your curtains closed during the day to stop heat radiating into your room. 

- Switch off all unnecessary electronics as they also generate heat.

We’ve already had a scorcher of a week, but with the whole summer ahead of us, we thought it’d be best to share some tips on how to stay safe and cool on hot days.
-	Drink plenty of water, even before you feel thirsty. Doing so will keep you cool and hydrated.

-	Wear suncream even if you’re outside for a short time. 

-	Keep your curtains closed during the day to stop heat radiating into your room. 

-	Switch off all unnecessary electronics as they also generate heat.

Bonus tip: A great way to keep your room cool is to only open your windows at night and closing them in the morning. 

Do you have any tips for hot days you’d like to share? ☀️🔥😎

A Christmas Message from LEAP's CEO. To read the full message, click on the alt text of the second image.
As we approach Christmas, I want to extend my thanks to everyone who plays a part in the work we do at LEAP—our staff, partners, stakeholders, and supporters. This time of year reminds us of the importance of compassion, community, and the festive spirit of giving.

For many of the people we support, the holidays can be a difficult period. Yet acts of kindness bring stability and hope to those who need it most. Our work ensures that no one is left behind and that every individual has the chance to feel safe, valued, and supported.

Next year, we look forward to new developments and the opportunity to expand our services so that we can help even more vulnerable individuals and families. Your continued support is invaluable to us.

Thank you for standing with us. I wish you all a peaceful Christmas and a prosperous New Year.
