We know that many of you will be aware of what’s happening in the UK right now, both in politics and in the tragic events in Manchester.

• Politics: There are ongoing debates in Parliament and across the country about the future direction of the UK. These can sometimes feel confusing or overwhelming. It’s okay not to have all the answers, and it’s important to remember that in a democracy, different views are part of healthy discussion.
• Manchester incident: Sadly, there was a violent act in Manchester that has affected many people. News like this can be worrying. It’s natural to feel a mixture of emotions: sadness, fear, even anger. What matters most is that we look out for one another, avoid jumping to conclusions, and remember that violence is never the fault of any one community.
