Hygiene kits to support vulnerable women and girls

Leave a comment

In a powerful show of community support, Amazon in Sutton Coldfield has donated 1,200 hygiene kits to Soroptimist International of Sutton Coldfield – a gesture that bolsters the charity’s ongoing Standing Up for Women and Girls initiative.

This generous contribution will deliver essential hygiene products to local women and girls facing hardship, ensuring they have access to basic dignity and care during difficult times.

Supporting women throught community action

Soroptimist International of Sutton Coldfield is part of a global network of volunteers dedicated to improving the lives of women and girls through education, empowerment, and grassroots community action. The Standing Up for Women and Girls programme provides practical, hands-on support—including access to hygiene essentials—for those navigating challenging circumstances.

Employee-led donation makes a difference

Mya Vadan, an employee at Amazon’s Sutton Coldfield fulfilment centre who helped coordinate the donation, said:
“We’re delighted to support Soroptimist International of Sutton Coldfield and the incredible work they do for women and girls in our community. We hope these hygiene kits will bring real comfort to those who need them most.”

Bożena Benton, from Soroptimist International of Sutton Coldfield, added:
“On behalf of our team, thank you to Amazon for this generous donation. Access to basic hygiene products can transform the lives of women and girls in crisis, and these kits will allow us to continue our vital work across the local area. It was also a pleasure to visit the fulfilment centre and meet the dedicated team behind this donation.”

A boader commitment to UK communities

This donation is just one example of how Amazon supports local communities through employee volunteering and charitable giving.

Amazon also co-founded the Multibank initiative with former UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown. The West Midlands Multibank, launched this year in partnership with Birmingham Voluntary Service Council (BVSC), has already redistributed more than 12 million surplus goods to over 800,000 families across Wales, Scotland, Greater Manchester, London, Tees Valley, and Birmingham. This year alone, the Multibank expects to deliver 1 million orders to families nationwide.

Transforming haircuts into hope: Meet the ‘super hairoes’

Leave a comment
T

Before and after. Top Willow and Isla before the haircut and below the twins looking smart with their new shorn locks

Seven-year-old twins became ‘super hairoes’ when they had their knee-length hair cut for charity, inspired by a TikTok video they watched over a year ago. Willow and Isla have raised over £4,000 for cancer charities by donating their never-before-cut hair to The Little Princess Trust.

The big day: A carnival atmosphere

Last weekend, the Oscott Social Club on Witton Lodge Road was transformed into a magical carnival—and the stars of the show were the twins.

A community comes together

The fundraising event was nothing short of spectacular. Organisers turned the social club into a family-friendly fun day featuring:

  • Food and gift stalls offering treats and treasures
  • Face painting that turned children into butterflies and superheroes
  • Bouncy castles that kept the youngest guests bouncing with joy
  • Raffles with dozens of prizes donated by local businesses and supporters

Dozens of prizes were up for grabs, and the turnout was overwhelming. As the scissors snipped through 12 inches of hair from each twin, they remained brave and smiling throughout, embodying the “super hairoes” nickname their proud mother had given them.

The fundraising results

The day was a resounding success:

Fundraising MilestoneAmount
Raised on the day£1,100
Total raised overall£4,000+ (and still counting)
Original target£1,400
Target statusExceeded by nearly 300%

The twins smashed their original goal of £1,400 – enough to fund two wigs for children battling cancer. The final total now sits at over £4,000, with donations continuing to pour in.

The charity: The Little Princess Trust

The twins donated their beautiful knee-length hair to The Little Princess Trust—a charity that provides real-hair wigs to children and young people who have lost their hair due to cancer treatment and other medical conditions.

Why their donation matters:

  • It costs £700 to make a single wig for a child
  • With both twins donating 12 inches each, they aimed to fund two wigs (£1,400)
  • They raised enough to fund nearly six wigs with their £4,000+ total

The charity relies entirely on public donations to provide both hair and hope to families facing the trauma of childhood cancer.

A mother’s pride and gratitude

Shaunah Henderson was overwhelmed by the support on the big day:

“My babies did something amazing. They had their first ever haircut and donated to The Little Princess Trust charity. I could not be prouder of the girls. I was overwhelmed by the turnout for the funday. To those who came, I can’t thank you enough. It meant the world, and a special thank you to my family. I couldn’t have done it without you.”

A promise sparked by compassion

While the big day was unforgettable, the story of Willow and Isla’s generosity began over a year ago with a simple scroll through TikTok.

Willow was sitting next to her mother, Shaunah, when they came across a video of a little girl with no hair.

“Willow was curious and asked why she didn’t have any hair,” her mother explained. “I just told her she was poorly, and that made her hair fall out.”

Willow’s response was instantaneous and heartfelt:

“Aww, that’s ok little girl. I will give you some of my hair.”

Her mother admitted: “I honestly felt like my heart was about to burst out my chest.”

A journey of resilience: Born fighters

The twins’ act of generosity is even more remarkable given their incredible backstory. Willow and Isla were born three months premature, weighing just 1lb each—small enough to fit in the palm of a hand. They spent 17 weeks in the hospital fighting for survival.

“They came out fighting,” their mother says proudly.

Now living with autism, the twins have retained that resilience and they have channeled it into an act of generosity.

How you can help

The twins have inspired hundreds, but The Little Princess Trust still needs support to provide wigs for the thousands of children facing cancer every year. You can support their mission by:

  1. Donating to their JustGiving page
  2. Sharing their story on social media
  3. Spreading awareness about childhood cancer and hair loss

Sutton Coldfield Police boost community safety efforts

Leave a comment

Police in Sutton Coldfield say they are stepping up their crime prevention activities as part of an ongoing commitment to keeping local communities safe. Officers from the Four Oaks and New Hall Neighbourhood Team are focusing on high-visibility patrols, community engagement, and targeted action against vehicle crime and anti-social behaviour,

Here is a roundup of activity, incidents, and crime prevention advice.

1. High-Visibility Patrols

Officers have conducted increased patrols in the retail areas of Mere Green, Walmley, and Wylde Green this week. The focus has been on deterring shoplifters and reassuring local businesses. The teams remain visible and engaged across the local high streets.

2. Crime Update: Vehicle Thefts

Four Oaks has recorded zero burglaries or vehicle thefts this week, which is positive news. However, the neighbouring New Hall area has unfortunately seen a spike in vehicle crime:

  • Cover Croft (Sunday 26th July, 00:36): Theft of a Blue Land Rover Defender and a White BMW 116. Method unknown.
  • Weaver Avenue (Thursday 30th July, 22:00): Theft of a Grey Mitsubishi. Method unknown.
  • Maybrook Business Park (Wednesday 29th July): Theft of a Black Triumph motorbike.

Keyless Entry Warning:
Residents who own keyless entry vehicles are urged to store their keys in a Faraday pouch. It is important to check the pouch regularly to ensure it is still working, as thieves use relay devices to capture key fob signals from inside homes. Pairing a Faraday pouch with a visible deterrent, such as a steering wheel lock, is strongly recommended.

For more prevention advice, visit the West Midlands Police Crime Prevention page or Secured by Design.

3. General Home Security

Residents are reminded to lock all windows and doors, even when at home. Keys should never be left in doors, particularly if a property has a cat or dog flap, as thieves can use tools to hook keys through these openings. Before heading out, residents are encouraged to make their homes look occupied, for example by using timer switches for lights or leaving a radio on.

4. Community Engagement: Surgeries

Drop-in surgeries were held this week at the Cosy Coffee shop and St James Church in Mere Green. Officers spoke with residents about local issues and provided tailored crime prevention advice. The teams appreciated the opportunity to engage face-to-face with the community.

5. A Big Thank You to Street Watch

Thanks are extended to the volunteers in Sutton Park, Walmley, Dunton Close, Harvestfields, and Wylde Green Street Watch groups. These volunteers have been out on patrol, speaking to local residents, and reporting any issues in the areas they cover.

Get Involved: The teams are actively looking for more volunteers in the Sutton Coldfield area. Anyone interested in helping to keep their street safe can email streetwatch@westmidlands.police.uk or reply to this message.

6. Dealing with Anti-Social Behaviour

  • Walmley: A Community Protection Warning was served on a beggar in Walmley who had been causing significant issues for local businesses and residents. The situation will continue to be monitored.
  • Sutton Park: Following reports of Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB), officers from the Four Oaks and Erdington Neighbourhood Teams, along with the Neighbourhood Crime Team, conducted foot and bicycle patrols in Sutton Park this week to ensure it remains a safe environment for all visitors.

Stay Safe and Stay in Touch

The neighbourhood teams hope residents have a peaceful week ahead. The community is reminded that reporting suspicious activity helps build a clearer picture of local issues. Anyone with concerns is encouraged to get in touch.

YMCA Sutton Coldfield marks 125 years of community impact with celebration

Leave a comment

YMCA Sutton Coldfield, one of the West Midlands’ most enduring charities, recently hosted a historic celebration at Royal Sutton Coldfield Town Hall to commemorate 125 years of service to the local community.

The milestone event earlier this month brought together a diverse group of attendees, including long-standing supporters, corporate partners, dedicated volunteers, staff members, and service users, all united to honour the charity’s legacy and its ongoing commitment to empowering vulnerable residents across Sutton Coldfield and the surrounding areas.

A legacy of supporting people

Since its founding in 1901, YMCA Sutton Coldfield has evolved into a vital community anchor, delivering a comprehensive range of support programmes designed to help people overcome adversity, build resilience, and unlock their full potential. The charity provides critical services for young people, families, and disabled adults, addressing pressing social challenges such as isolation, mental health, and economic hardship.

The anniversary event served as a powerful reminder of the charity’s heritage while shining a spotlight on its modern-day impact – transforming countless lives through youth work, family support, and disability care.

Community partnerships take centre stage

The celebration also underscored the importance of collaboration in the nonprofit sector. Representatives from local businesses, stakeholder organisations, and partner charities gathered to discuss how joint efforts are essential to tackling regional social issues.

Rachel Dutta Choudhury, Bid Writing, Fundraising and Development Manager at YMCA Sutton Coldfield, commented:

“Our 125th anniversary celebration was a wonderful opportunity to recognise everyone who has been part of our journey. We are incredibly grateful to our staff, volunteers, trustees, partners, supporters, and service users – past and present – who have helped shape YMCA Sutton Coldfield over the last 125 years. Together, we have changed countless lives, and we remain committed to supporting local people for generations to come.”

The 125 club: a call for community sponsorship

In alignment with the anniversary, YMCA Sutton Coldfield has launched the 125 Club—a new sponsorship initiative inviting local businesses and community advocates to make a one-off contribution of £125. This initiative provides an accessible way for organisations to demonstrate their support for local youth and family services while directly contributing to the charity’s sustainability for the next 125 years.

Distinguished guests and local dignitaries

The celebration was attended by several notable figures, including Councillor Alex Yip, Councillor David Pears, Neil Thorogood, Deputy Lieutenant Karen Williams, Joy Scott-Thompson, Beverley Redguard, and Nick Owen. Their presence highlighted the strong civic and ceremonial support for the charity’s mission within the Royal Town of Sutton Coldfield.

Looking ahead: the next chapter of local impact

As YMCA Sutton Coldfield looks towards the future, the charity remains steadfast in its mission to provide a safe, supportive environment where everyone can thrive. With 125 years of history as a foundation, the organisation is poised to expand its reach and deepen its impact across the Birmingham region.

Inspiring twins turn hair into hope for children with cancer

Leave a comment

In a story that has melted hearts, seven‑year‑old twins Willow and Isla are preparing to chop off their knee‑length hair for charity – after a spontaneous act of kindness sparked by a TikTok video over a year ago.

The sisters, who have never had their hair cut in their lives, are set to lose at least 12 inches each on July 25 to raise funds for The Little Princess Trust. The charity provides real‑hair wigs to children and young people who have lost their own hair due to cancer treatment.

A fundraising event will be held on July 25 at Oscott Social Club in Erdington, where the little girls will lose their long locks while a host of activities take place throughout the day, including bouncy castle, face painting, a raffle and of course food and drink will be available all day.

The fun begins at the club on Witton Lodge Road at midday and runs until 5pm.

The twins’ journey to this moment began long before the scissors come out – on a day that started with a simple scroll through social media and ended with a promise that would last an entire year.

‘Rough start’ that forged a fighting spirit

Willow and Isla’s mother has spoken candidly about the twins’ arrival into the world. Born three months premature and weighing just 1lb each – small enough to fit in the palm of a hand – the girls spent 17 weeks in hospital.

Yet despite the odds, she says, ‘they came out fighting.’

Now aged seven and living with autism, the twins have retained that resilience – and now, they are channelling it into an act of generosity that has left their family bursting with pride.

The TikTok that changed everything

The idea was born last year, when Willow was sitting next to her mother scrolling through TikTok. The pair came across a video of a little girl with no hair.

‘Willow was curious and asked why she didn’t have no hair,’ her mother explained. ‘I just told her she was poorly, and that made her hair fall out.’

Willow’s response was instantaneous. ‘Aww, that’s ok little girl,’ she said. ‘I will give you some of my hair.’

Her mother admitted: ‘I honestly felt like my heart was about to burst out my chest.’

A promise kept

Twelve months on, Willow has not forgotten. She still tells people: ‘I’m going to give my hair to the poorly children.’ And where Willow leads, Isla follows. The twins’ mother said: ‘Of course, Isla wants to be just like her twin sister, so she’s been telling all her friends at school. They are very excited!’

The girls’ hair currently falls all the way to their knees, making them, in their mother’s words, ‘my very own Rapunzels.’ On 25 July, that will change, as they both sit for their first‑ever haircut.

A mission to make two wigs

The family has launched a fundraising page with a goal of £1,400 – because it costs £700 to make a single wig for a child. With both twins donating their hair, they hope to raise enough for two wigs to be created.

The Little Princess Trust relies entirely on public donations to provide both Hair and Hope to children and young people facing cancer. Every contribution, no matter how small, helps turn locks of love into lifelines.

‘The girls are our very own superHAIROES,’ their mother said. ‘It would mean the world to us if people could donate, or even just share the page.’

The twins’ story is a testament to the power of a child’s compassion – and a reminder that sometimes, the biggest heroes come in the smallest packages.

Council under fire with chaos again at Sutton tip

Leave a comment

If you ventured anywhere near the tip this week, you likely found yourself stuck in a queue that stretched far beyond the entrance gates. Once again, residents are facing massive delays, and the knock-on effect is causing major disruption across the entire local area.

It simply isn’t good enough. It’s inefficient, costly and potentially dangerous – with accidents waiting to happen.

Residents in Birmingham attempting to dispose of their rubbish this week have been met with gridlocked traffic, as queues for the Norris Way recycling centre spiral out of control. The severe backlog is causing chaos on Coleshill Road, with lines of traffic snaking all the way back to the Kings Arms pub, raising serious concerns about public safety and local accessibility.

This waste management crisis, exacerbated by the ongoing Birmingham bin strike and a surge in garden waste due to the summer weather, is turning the weekly tip run into a daily ordeal for motorists.

Queues cause standstill on Coleshill Road

The disruption at the Sutton Coldfield tip is no longer confined to the site itself. Witnesses report that traffic is backing out of Norris Way, spilling onto major arteries, and causing significant delays for commuters and local businesses.

“It’s becoming a daily nightmare,” said one frustrated resident. “The traffic is backing up to the Kings Arms. It’s inefficient, costly, and potentially dangerous—accidents are waiting to happen.”

Similar issues have also been reported at the Perry Barr recycling centre, suggesting a city-wide failure in waste disposal services during the current industrial action.

Garden waste problem

With summer in full swing, green waste is piling up faster than the site can process it. The on-site containers are struggling to keep up with demand as residents take advantage of the good weather. However, with no kerbside garden waste collections taking place due to the strike, the tips have become the only outlet, overwhelming capacity.

Adding to the mayhem is a lack of adherence to the booking system. Staff are reportedly turning away vehicles without appointments, but these rejected cars remain in the queue, adding to the gridlock and wasting fuel.

‘Root cause is bin strike’

Local officials are now stepping in, calling for urgent action from the new Birmingham City Council administration and waste contractor Veolia.

Reddicap ward councillor, David Pears, spoke out about the “unsustainable” situation on his Facebook page. He stated:

“The queues we are seeing are completely unsustainable. It’s not just an inconvenience—it’s bringing our local roads to a standstill, affecting businesses, bus routes, and emergency vehicle access. While we are pressing council officers for answers, the root cause is clear. This seemingly never-ending bin strike is crippling our waste services. The new administration at Birmingham City Council must make resolving this strike their absolute number one priority. Our communities cannot afford to wait any longer.”

Impact on business and emergency services

The traffic disruption is having a domino effect across the area. Local business owners are reporting reduced footfall as customers avoid the area, while bus passengers face significant delays due to diverted routes.

Most critically, there are growing fears that the stationary traffic will block access for emergency services. With roads at a standstill, an ambulance or fire engine could face life-threatening delays trying to navigate through the chaos.

What can residents do?

Until the industrial action is resolved, residents are advised to:

  • Stick to the booking system: Ensure you have a valid appointment before visiting the tip to avoid being turned away.
  • Check live traffic: Use local traffic apps to check the status of Coleshill Road before setting off.
  • Home composting: Where possible, consider home composting for garden waste to reduce the burden on the site.

Alpacas bring joy to Sutton Coldfield care home

Leave a comment

Residents at a care home in Sutton Coldfield received an unforgettable surprise this National Pet Day, thanks to a pair of gentle, four-legged guests.

Care UK’s Mercia Grange, located on Lichfield Road in Four Oaks, welcomed Jack and Roo – two charming alpacas from Wildwood Alpacas – for a heartwarming session of animal therapy for the elderly.

A unique sensory experience

The visit was designed to engage residents through touch, sight, and sound. The team from Wildwood Alpacas led the session, offering their expertise and encouraging residents to get hands-on. The elderly participants were invited to stroke, handle, and even feed the alpacas, who seemed to thoroughly enjoy the pampering.

One resident, Bunty Speight, described the encounter as deeply moving:

“They are so adorable. They looked right at me as if we understood each other. It’s not every day you get to connect with animals like that.”

Benefits of animal therapy for dementia care

According to care experts, interactions like these are more than just entertainment. Animal therapyhas been proven to:

  • Lift mood and reduce anxiety
  • Encourage social interaction among residents
  • Trigger positive memories, particularly for those living with dementia

Michael McNelis, Home Manager at Mercia Grange, explained:

“We always strive to create fun and interactive experiences for residents. A visit from some furry friends is a great way to bring a smile to everyone’s faces. Animal therapy is hugely beneficial for older people, especially those living with dementia, as it can help lift a person’s mood and encourage social interaction.”

He added: “We want to thank Wildwood Alpacas for making our day. We look forward to seeing our new fluffy friends again in the future!”
