We are saddened and horrified at the callous attack in Manchester Arena last night. Our thoughts and sympathies are with all those affected, and our heartfelt admiration goes to all those who helped and supported people in need throughout the night.

The clocks change this Sunday, 26th March. The UK will switch to British Summer Time (BST) at 1am on Sunday morning, so we all effectively lose an hour’s sleep. On the plus side, it means that summer is coming and the evenings will get lighter.

Most electronic devices these days (phones, computers) will change the time for you, but you will probably still need to reset clocks, watches and household devices. While you’re doing it, why not take the opportunity to check the batteries in your smoke alarm too?

Statistics show that smoke alarms save lives – but they can only do it if they are in working order. So the clock change is a welcome chance to check up on your early warning system.

You can read more about smoke alarms on the UK Fire Service website.
