Warwickshire County Council is using the festive period, traditionally known as a time for giving, to share details of local projects set up with community funding and offer some ideas for people looking to spread a little kindness and good will.

Throughout December people can follow the council’s festive countdown Advent Calendar for stories about some of the voluntary groups, organisations and individuals who are strengthening Warwickshire communities, and for information to help one another stay safe and well.

People’s own community stories can be with the county council on Facebook and Instagram using #KindWarwickshire.

For advice or support to help people through difficult financial times there is lots of information on the Cost of Living website.

Health and wellbeing information and advice through the cold winter months can be found on our wellness webpages.
