Following the tragic news on Friday that three local teenagers lost their lives in a road traffic accident, we would like to convey our sincere condolences to family, friends and teachers at Campden High School, where the students were at school.

Our bereavement service is here to provide help, if and when the time is right. The school and the local services are doing a superb job of supporting students and their families, so our offer is hand in hand with that support. Our bereavement counsellors can offer support to those aged 12 and over, and younger children can access our Play Therapy. All services are free of charge.Please get in touch if you would like to arrange an initial telephone call with one of our counsellors on: 01386 840505 or email: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="mailto:cathy.turner@campdenhomenursing.org">cathy.turner@campdenhomenursing.org</a>.

At Jecca's House we've created a Memory Tree, where we hang tributes dedicated to the memory of lost loved ones. New this year are brass hearts and birds, as well as the golden apples which have already proved popular over the last few years. We hope you will help us fill it with life and love by dedicating a golden apple, a love heart or a bird in the name of a loved one, whether they had a connection to Campden Home Nursing or not. Each can be inscribed with its own special message. Your donation will provide much-needed support for our patients and their loved ones, and helps to make sure we can be there for the next family who needs us. Each tribute can be inscribed and placed on the tree for a donation; Prices are £25 per apple and love heart (both are 60mm x 70mm. £35 for the bird (150mm).To purchase, please go to: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://campdenhomenursing.enthuse.com/cf/memory-tree">https://campdenhomenursing.enthuse.com/cf/memory-tree</a><img src="https://community-platform-bucket-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/campdenonline/User_29/embedment/j6j98lglxus2d.jpeg">Each tribute can be inscribed and placed on the tree for a donation; Prices are £25 per apple and love heart (both are 60mm x 70mm. £35 for the bird (150mm).

My grandad Arthur Lewis Augustus Joseph Merriman was born in Chipping Campden in 1900 and lived in Watery Lane. He worked as a farm labourer and shot rabbits in the fields to earn a little more and to eat! He worked for Ashbee Silver and moved to Birmingham Jewellery Quarter to work as a silversmith before the Great War which he signed up for with the Royal Warwickshire Regiment as a 16 year old in 1915. He became a sniper as he was a crackshot learned when shooting rabbits! He was gassed at Arras in 1917 and invalided back to blighty where he rejoined the Birmingham Jewellery Quarter firm he'd worked for Eccleston and Hart as a driver and bodyguard as he was toughened by the war where he learned to drive In later years he worked for Guest Keen and Nettlefolds in Heath Street in Smethwick near Birmingham until he died in 1971. He loved horse racing with his farming background and gardening especially his prize chrysanthemums.

Criminals are targeting WhatsApp users by posing as a friend and asking for a security code. Action Fraud has received over 60 reports relating to this scam.&nbsp;The scam begins when a criminal gets access to another WhatsApp account which has you listed as a contact.&nbsp;The criminal, posing as your friend or someone that’s a member of a WhatsApp group you’re in, will then send you seemingly normal messages to try and start a conversation with you. However, around the same time you will receive a text message from WhatsApp with a six-digit code. This is because the criminal has been trying to login to WhatsApp using your mobile number. The criminal will claim that they sent you their code by accident and ask you to help them by sending it to them. Once the criminal has this code, they can login to your WhatsApp account and lock you out.&nbsp;The criminal will then use the same tactic with your WhatsApp contacts in an effort to steal more accounts and use them to perpetrate fraud.&nbsp;<h3>What you need to do:</h3>&nbsp;·&nbsp; Set up two-step verification to give an extra layer of protection to your account: Tap Settings &gt; Account &gt;Two-step verification &gt; Enable.&nbsp;·&nbsp; THINK. CALL. If a family member or friend makes an unusual request on WhatsApp, always call the person to confirm their identity.&nbsp;·&nbsp; Never share your account’s activation code (that’s the 6 digit code you receive via SMS)&nbsp;·&nbsp; You can report spam messages or block a sender within WhatsApp. Press and hold on the message bubble, select ‘Report’ and then follow the instructions.&nbsp;If you have been a victim of fraud or cyber crime, report it to <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://s-url.co/CDAEAA">Action Fraud</a> or 0300 123 2040.&nbsp;
