As a legal support partner of CBIT in the Midlands, members of staff at ACS organised activities throughout the day including samosa sales and cake sales. They were also challenged to wear their brightest clothes to work – all to highlight the important road safety message of “Be Seen, Not Hurt”. Not only did everyone sacrifice their diets in the name of charity, but £230 was raised for the Trust on the day.
Mr Rankeshwar Batta, Head of Clinical Negligence and Personal Injury department said “The Child Brain Injury Trust support children and their families in very difficult circumstances and we have partnered with them for a number of years now supporting their projects and initiatives. We thoroughly enjoyed supporting the Glow Day campaign where the whole team got involved to show off their ‘master chef’ talents to support a very worthwhile awareness initiative.”

It is anticipated that as lockdown restrictions ease, and particularly with children and young adults returning to education, cases of meningitis will start to rise.
As we continue to emerge from lockdown measures and deal with local measures and the short and long term economic impact of Covid-19, local authorities will need to re-assess how services will be delivered for years to come.
The Government first announced plans for a shared ownership right to buy in October 2019. At the time the sector raised concerns about the impact the plans would have on housing associations ability to borrow.
