September is Suicide Prevention Month. Throughout the month, we’ve shared ways you can support someone who may be struggling. That includes noticing the signs, asking how they’re doing, and staying and listening. We also want you to make sure you look after yourself, as well. 💚

Healthcare should be there when you need it. No exceptions. Trans people deserve the same dignity, respect and access to care as everyone else.
Quote graphic. Headline reads: “When trust in healthcare is broken.”

Quote from Anthony Slaughter, Leader of the Wales Green Party:

“People had surgeries cancelled at the 11th hour, with no explanation or option to reschedule. These are people who had spent years preparing, both physically and mentally, for this life-affirming surgery.

In my own way, I was able to relate to that agonising wait. In the days leading up to planned surgery over recess, I underwent scheduled and serious surgery. You trust the system around you. For some, that trust has been broken.

What is important is that the voices and experiences of the trans community are amplified and understood. Gender-affirming healthcare saves lives. What this community needs now more than ever is decisive action, proof that their government will stand up for them and take the lead.”

In 2025, the River Severn at Telford saw 335 sewage discharges across 16 sites, lasting 526 hrs. Meanwhile, Severn Trent’s profits rose 45% to £850m, while its new CEO could receive up to £3.1m. Across England, raw sewage was discharged for 1.9m hrs last year. It's been time to take back control.

September is Suicide Prevention Month. Notice. Ask. Stay. Sometimes, simply being there can make a difference. Here are some practical ways to support someone who may be struggling:
Graphic from the Green Party Telford and Wrekin about suicide prevention. Large text reads “Notice Ask Stay.” It explains that September is Suicide Prevention Month and encourages friends, parents, coworkers and neighbours to notice when someone may be struggling, ask how they are, and stay with and support them. A green panel says, “You don’t need to be a therapist to save a life. You just need to notice, ask, and stay.” The bottom says practical ways to support someone will be shared throughout the month. Green Party Telford and Wrekin logo and promotional disclaimer appear at the bottom.Graphic titled “Suicide prevention in three steps,” from the Green Party Telford and Wrekin. Three sections explain: Notice — be aware of small changes that suggest someone is withdrawing or preparing to leave; Ask — check in, ask first, avoid blame or minimising, and listen; Stay — be present while they get help, stay with them if they are in immediate danger, and check in afterwards. A yellow panel gives UK support information: call Samaritans free on 116 123 or text SHOUT to 85258 for free 24/7 text support. Green Party Telford and Wrekin logo and promotional disclaimer appear at the bottom.

Around a fifth of our water is lost to leaks while outdated infrastructure desperately needs investment. Public ownership means investing in fixing leaks, upgrading our water infrastructure and protecting our rivers -- not putting profits first.

The UK is already feeling the consequences of a changing climate, so why are we still talking about drilling for more oil and gas? We can’t keep making the problem worse and pretend there won’t be a cost. We can't drill our way out of a climate crisis. Green is the future.

Extreme weather is now the new normal. And the response from the government and Andy Burnham is… banning disposable BBQs? Bruv. As our NHS doctor member put it: “Climate change is the greatest health threat facing humanity.” A BBQ ban isn’t a climate strategy. We need real action and a real plan.
