The Mayor is looking forward to attending a community yoga class on Saturday, 20 June, organised by Sutton Parivaar for International Yoga Day 🧘‍♂️

Yoga is increasingly recognised as an important proactive approach towards improving both mental and physical wellbeing, helping reduce stress, improve fitness, encourage mindfulness, and strengthen community connection.

The event is FREE to attend and open to all age groups.

Civic leaders, residents, and representatives of local community and faith organisations came together at Holy Trinity Parish Church on Sunday 14 June for this year’s annual Civic Service.

The Mayor of Royal Sutton Coldfield, Councillor Nitish Raut, was joined by Deputy Lieutenant Abbie Vlahakis, The Rt Hon Sir Andrew Mitchell KCMG, The High Sheriff of The West Midlands, Carmen Watson, local councillors and distinguished guests for the service, which was led by Rt. Revd. James Langstaff, Associate Bishop in the Diocese of Birmingham.

The annual Civic Service is a cherished tradition that brings together people from across the Royal Town in a spirit of unity, reflection, and community. It provides an opportunity to celebrate the individuals, charities, faith groups, and organisations whose dedication and commitment help make Sutton Coldfield such a vibrant and welcoming place to live.

Speaking after the event, Councillor Raut said:

"It was a pleasure to welcome civic guests, residents, and representatives of our wonderful local charities, faith groups, and community organisations to this year’s Civic Sunday. Events like these remind us of the strength of our community and the incredible contribution made by so many people who work tirelessly to support others and enrich life across our Royal Town."
