Happy 4th Birthday to us!🎈 We’re so proud to celebrate 4 incredible years of this group. In that time, 64 THOUSAND of you have joined; a true testament to the power of connection, shared purpose, and the incredible people who make up this community in B37 and surrounding areas. From helping reunite missing people, lost animals and belongings, to supporting one another through incidents and accidents, and boosting hundreds of local businesses and charities, this group consistently comes together to make a real difference. The most important and heart warming thing we see, is how members show up for one another in times of need. The kindness and generosity within our community are a constant reminder of just how strong our area really is. Whether you’ve been here since day one or joined us more recently, you are such an important part of this journey. Together, we’ve built something really special. Thank you everyone for your continued support, engagement, and for being part of this growing online community. Your Admin Team, Jessie, Adam & Niki 💙

Remembering Paige Rice 🦋 Today marks 4 years since the heartbreaking day we lost our beautiful Paige. Not a day goes by that she isn’t thought of or spoken about with love. Her laughter, her smile, her kindness, and that unforgettable sparkle she carried still touch so many hearts! Paige’s legacy lives on through her incredible mom, Clare Rice, her brother, Ty, and her amazing circle of best friends who continue to honour her in such special ways - because of them, Paige’s warmth and joy still touch our community; reminding us all of the beauty of her heart and the love she left behind. Paige will always be part of this community - forever young, forever loved, and never forgotten. . . I’m a woman of faith, so if you wish to pray with me today - simply read the following prayer and finish with an Amen 🙏🏼… Lord, We thank You for Paige. For her light, her laughter, her beautiful smile, and the love she shared so freely. We ask that You continue to bring comfort and peace to Clare, Ty, and all who miss her dearly. May her spirit keep shining brightly through those who carry her memory, and may Your love surround them always. Amen.

Big shoutout to @artbyaz for bringing some colour to the streets of Chelmsley Wood. Az and @solihullcouncil teamed up to cover up a dull wall with amazing art, giving our area a proper community feel again. I love to see local talent used in such a positive way!!! 🙌🏼💙

I DID IT! 🎉 I’ve officially finished my 100 mile charity walk for Breast Cancer Now, walking a total of 111.46 miles in May – and I’ve raised an amazing £660 (+ £125 in Gift Aid that the charity can claim back) - thanks to all of YOU! 💕 Thank you so much for every donation, every message of encouragement, and all the love along the way. Your support means the world, not just to me, but to everyone affected by breast cancer. Now, let’s talk boobs… - 1 in 7 women in the UK will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. - Checking your 🍉‘s regularly could save your life. - Early detection = better outcomes. FACT. So here’s your reminder: Go check your boobs. Like now. Yes, NOW. And then text a mate and tell her to do it too. Let’s make it normal. Let’s make it loud. Let’s save lives. Thank you again from the bottom of my superrrrrr full heart. 🩷

As of next Thursday I will be walking 100 miles throughout May to support Breast Cancer Now and shine a light on breast cancer awareness. 👣 Why? I’m walking for my brave momma, who has been cancer free for 2 years, my amazing Nanny, who bravely faced breast cancer in her 40’s, and for a dear friend, K, who is currently going through treatment; this is for her too. This challenge is for these amazing women, and for every person affected by breast cancer. Their strength and courage are nothing short of inspiring. 🫶🏼 I’ll be tracking my miles throughout the month, come rain or shine - and every step I take will be with these incredible women in mind!! 💕 Your contribution will make an impact, whether you donate £5 or £50. If you can please spare anything at all, it would mean the world to me, and to the people I love. If you can’t contribute financially, please feel free to support me by joining me on a walk, or simply share this post. Every little bit helps. Thank you!!

Today, on World Autism Awareness Day, we celebrate the unique perspectives, strengths, and talents of individuals on the autism spectrum. Autism is a different ability; it’s a different way of seeing and experiencing the world. We are committed to fostering a supportive and inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and understood. Let’s continue to spread awareness, encourage acceptance, and champion the rights of autistic individuals. Take time today to learn more about autism, listen to the voices of those with lived experience, and celebrate neurodiversity. Every mind is unique, and that’s what makes our community beautiful. . . . #WorldAutismDay #B37Updates* #Awareness #Community #Acceptance

Don’t Forget! ⏰ The clocks go forward tomorrow at 1am We lose an hour of sleep, but brighter evenings are on the way! . #B37Updates* #Spring #WarmerDays #BrighterDays
