Our chief executive @MarkGifford ran into a familiar face when he attended the Communities that Work Annual Reception at the House of Commons recently.
@Debbie_abrahams spoke at the event in her role as chair of the parliamentary Work and Pensions Select Committee.
Her comments that all in housing, employment and government need to work better together to drive more and better job and earning opportunities resonated with Mark and the audience. FCHO has an important role in helping customers into employment and meaningful work that rewards.
Sustaining livelihoods, securing households, and creating safe and healthy places to live is vitally important. We are focused on it and working with all our elected officials to make a difference to the communities we serve.
Keep an eye when you fry
⚠️ Never fill a pan more than one-third full of fat or oil
✅ Ensure food is dry before putting it in hot oil so it doesn’t splash
⚠️ If the oil starts to smoke, it’s too hot – turn off the heat and let it cool
More safety tips👉 fcho.co.uk/living-in-your-ho…
Most accidental fires start in the kitchen so keep looking when cooking & never leave it unattended🍳
🔥 If your pan does catch fire don't panic! Leave the kitchen, close the door, get everyone out & call 999
More safety tips are on our website 👉 fcho.co.uk/living-in-your-ho…
Chip pan fires can kill 🔥
We recommend you try oven alternatives or use a thermostat-controlled fryer
Thermostatically controlled deep fat fryers that plug into the wall are much safer to use 🌡️
