We're working with the Men’s Wellbeing Alliance to help support men’s health across the borough.

We know that many people can find it difficult to talk about health or seek support. By working with local organisations, we’re helping to make information, advice and services easier to access and more visible in our communities.

This work is part of our wider commitment to supporting the health and wellbeing of all residents and helping people get the support they need at the right time.

We're urging residents across Walsall to make sure they and their children are fully vaccinated against measles.

Measles spreads easily and can lead to serious illness, especially in those who aren’t vaccinated.

✅ Check your child’s Red Book or the NHS App
✅ Contact your GP if you’re unsure
✅ It’s never too late to catch up – even if you don’t know your history

Catch-up clinics are also available locally this summer for children who have missed any routine vaccinations, including the MMR vaccine.

📍 Saturday 27 June 2026, 9:00am–1:00pm - Vaccination UK, Hallens Drive, Wednesbury
📍 Saturday 4 July 2026, 9:30am–1:00pm - South and Central Family Hub, Birchills Street, Walsall

To book, email [email protected] or call 01922 902 035.

Protect yourself, your family and your community.

Walsall’s past meets the present 📸
A new exhibition celebrating Walsall’s rich heritage has officially launched, showcasing the work of Walsall College photography students who have recreated historic images from local historian Jack Haddock’s collection.

Led by Walsall Council, the initiative was delivered in partnership with Walsall College and the Walsall Archive for All (WAFA) project. As part of the project, students were able to host a private exhibition, with the work viewed by their families and invitees at Bloxwich Police Station on 4 June 2026.

To give Jack’s Collection a new lease of life, students revisited the locations captured in his original photographs to show how places across the borough have changed over time.
The exhibition features more than 30 historic and modern photo pairings, bringing Walsall’s streets, canals, transport and everyday life to life for a new generation.

The project is part of wider work with volunteers digitising 9,000 items images from the Jack Haddock Collection, helping make Walsall’s history more accessible to everyone. All thanks to a grant funding from .

Don’t ignore your cervical screening invite — it could save your life.

Cervical screening checks for HPV, a common virus that can lead to cancer. It helps detect changes early, before cancer develops.

Around 3,300 women are diagnosed with cervical cancer in the UK each year, but most cases can be prevented by attending screening when invited.

✔ Check if you’re due
✔ Book your appointment
✔ Download the NHS App to stay on track

Even if you’ve had the HPV vaccine, it’s still important to attend.

If something doesn’t feel right, don’t wait — speak to your GP.

☀️ We’re expecting warmer weather over the next few days, as the UK Health Security Agency has issued a yellow heat health alert, which is in place from today until 23 June 2026.

Here are some simple tips to help you stay and make the most of it:

🏠 Stay cool indoors. Close curtains on rooms that face the sun, but also remember that it may be cooler outdoors than indoors.

💧 If you're heading outdoors, take bottled water, apply sunscreen often, and shield yourself from the sun during the hottest hours (11am to 3pm). Don't let it ruin your fun!

📱Check in on family, friends and neighbours if they need support.

🌡️ Feeling unwell? Dizzy? Unquenchable thirst? Move to a cool spot and hydrate yourself. NHS 111 is here to offer advice if needed. In an emergency, dial 999.

🧒 If you have young children, make sure they are protected from heat as they are more likely to become unwell from hot weather.

🌊 Take care around open water - on hot days it can be tempting to cool off, but please stay mindful and look after yourself and others around open water.
