🎆 Happy Bonfire Night! 🎆

Ashby skies are lighting up with fireworks, but let’s make sure the night ends on a high note.

🔥 Keep a safe distance from bonfires and fireworks – they're dazzling but dangerous.
👀 Always supervise children, and avoid sparklers in crowded areas.
🚶 If you're out late, stay in groups and stick to familiar, well-lit routes.

Let’s enjoy Bonfire Night together – safely and responsibly.

🌍 International Youth Day – August 12th 🌍

Today we celebrate the energy, creativity, and potential of young people across the world. 🎉
International Youth Day is a reminder of the vital role youth play as future leaders, innovators, and voices for change.

It’s also a time to reflect on the challenges they face — from mental health to feeling safe in public spaces. Everyone deserves the freedom to grow, express themselves, and enjoy their community without fear. 🙌

Here in Ashby, we’re proud of our amazing youth community — and we’re committed to making sure they feel safe, seen, and supported. 💜

That’s why Ashby At Night works closely with local partners to help keep young people safe on nights out, provide access to support when needed, and promote a culture of respect and care across the town. 🌙

Because the future of Ashby starts with how we treat our youth today. Let’s protect it. Let’s support it. Let’s build it — together.

📢 Tag a young person doing amazing things or share how you're supporting youth in Ashby!
