Now in its 11th year, National Hoarding Awareness Week is an annual campaign to raise awareness of hoarding and those with a hoarding disorder.
Hoarding Awareness Week will take place from the 12 to 16 May and will focus on promoting a greater understanding and acceptance of hoarding and how those affected by it can be supported to achieve positive change.
Hull City Council is calling on the people of Hull to come forward and consider fostering as part of a major awareness drive for this upcoming Foster Care Fortnight (13–26 May 2025).
With one of the highest populations of looked-after children in the country, Hull urgently needs more foster carers to keep children safe, supported and close to the city they call home.
Credit cards can be a great budgeting tool, but only if you use them properly. They can help you spot where you spend most of your money, earn cashback on purchases, build credit scores and more. On the other hand, misuse can lead to ballooning debts and high interest payments.

A series of events will be held for residents in coastal communities across the East Riding, to learn about the impact of coastal erosion in their area, and to feed back their priorities.

The industry of corporate law needs both technical expertise and unwavering ethical commitment. According to the Solicitors Regulation Authority, the agency received close to 11,000 reports about solicitors and law firms they regulate in 2022/2023. This shows the frequency of ethical challenges in legal practice. For corporate lawyers going through this complex terrain, maintaining integrity is essential for sustainable client relationships and preserving the reputation of the legal profession itself.
