Your Coventry – Summer 2026 edition

In this edition of Your Coventry [https://www.coventry.gov.uk/downloads/download/8655/your-coventry-magazine-2026]:

Leader's message

Welcome to this summer edition of Your Coventry.
There has been a lot happening in the city in recent months and plenty to celebrate. Coventry City Football Club will return to top-flight football after their remarkable season, and hundreds of thousands of people joined the celebrations organised by the club in partnership with Coventry City Council (see photo, right). The Sky Blues have also been awarded the Honorary Freedom of the City – a fitting way for the whole city to say thank you and recognise everything the club has given to Coventry.

Away from the celebrations, there has been important recognition for two of our largest services. The Care Quality Commission has rated our Adult Social Care Services as good, while Ofsted has awarded our Children's Services an outstanding rating. These are results that our staff should be incredibly proud of. We intend to build on them and do all we can to ensure people are supported throughout life in the best way possible.

In this edition of Your Coventry, we have news about our parks and green spaces for people of all ages, and details of how we are helping residents – particularly our young people – secure employment and training opportunities. There's also a reminder that eligible children can sign up to a food and activities programme running throughout the summer.

I hope you enjoy the read, and as always, have a great summer.
