EU nationals
Are you, or is someone you know, from an EU country?
EU citizens who want to continue living in the UK must apply to the EU Settlement Scheme by 30 June 2021 to protect their rights following Brexit.
Even if you have lived in the UK for many years EU nationals still need to apply for settled status. This means that as well as being able to work in the UK you can also use the NHS and access public funds such as pensions and benefits.
EU nationals and their family members who have lived continuously in the UK for five years should be entitled to get Settled Status, meaning they are free to go on living and working in the UK indefinitely.
People with less than five years’ residence can get pre-settled status, which after five years of continuous stay can convert to settled status.
Its free to apply but you do need to apply before 30 June this year.
Bristol values its EU citizens. We need and want you to stay living, working and studying here.
Find out how to apply and find support at EU Settlement Scheme – bristol.gov.uk
A bit about March.
In early versions of the Roman calendar March was the first month of the year marking the beginning of Spring and the Spring Equinox. The flower of March is of course the Daffodil, plenty of which are decorating our gardens, tables, parks and verges at the moment.
March is also Women’s History Month
If you fancy finding out about some of the amazing women in history you can see some great family friendly stories on the BBC website Women’s History Month – Teaching Resources – BBC Teach
English Heritage are also sharing some fascinating stories about Women in History including how women have shaped gardens and garden design. Women in History | English Heritage (english-heritage.org.uk)
Stay safe and take care
Kindest regards
Jenny
March brings breezes loud and shrill,
stirs the dancing daffodil.
