Working With Children Training - On Set Date

Celebrate Chinese New Year and the year of the tiger with this special Amigurumi crochet-along.
Tigers are symbols of strength, courage and perseverance and you certainly need some of that character when it comes to small scale crochet!
Tallulah is crocheted continuously in the round, and almost in 1 piece. You'll only need some basic crochet stitch know-how (US terms) and I'll show you some sew as you go techniques so any dodgy stitching and finishing gets hidden secretly inside. There are a couple of fiddly elements to this make, but nothing a determined tiger can't handle! She can be made into a fridge magnet, a brooch or a key ring if you like too!
This workshop takes place online so you will need to have access to ZOOM and the materials listed below to crochet-along. Some crochet skills are essential but it's also great for adventurous beginners interested in this style of crochet and anyone else who wants to join in.
What you'll need to craft along . . .
<ul>
<li>a 2.0mm crochet hook*</li>
<li>4 ply or fine double-knit yarn**</li>
<li>a stitch marker</li>
<li>3mm black bead</li>
<li>3mm white sequins (optional)</li>
<li>toy filling</li>
<li>a big eye and a fine eye needle</li>
<li>matching threads</li>
<li>scissors</li>
<li>a cuppa tea and a biscuit</li>
</ul>
*Don't worry if a 2.0mm crochet hook fills you with absolute dread - you can make the same tiger with a larger hook and chunkier yarn.
**I used Drops Soft Tweed in 18 Carrot Cake and Sirdar Haworth Tweed in 907 Rydale Russet for my tigers and some odds and ends for features. You won't need too much of anything so ideal for using up yarns you happen to have.

This workshop takes place online so you will need to have access to ZOOM and the materials listed below to crochet-along. Great for adventurous beginners looking to develop their crochet, but also fab for refreshing forgotten skills or if you just fancy having a go. Classes are kept small so it's not too overwhelming and everyone gets plenty attention and the opportunity to ask questions.
What you'll need to craft along . . .
a 4.0mm crochet hook
aran weight yarn*
other aran weight or double-knit yarns for decorative details*
a stitch marker
a big eye needle
scissors
a cuppa tea and a biscuit
*I used Scheepjes Cahlista (Scarlet) and Rico Creative Cotton Aran (Black) as my main yarns and some other double knits I happened to have. You won't need too much of anything so ideal for using up odds and ends from your yarn basket.
 
 

This simple Rosebud Card Case is designed to highlight the versatility of just 1 crochet stitch and it's perfect for absolute beginners and beyond . . .

Setting workplace boundaries to improve your wellbeing

Many people struggle to set boundaries because of a niggling fear that they will be letting people down, upsetting authority or come across as difficult. But healthy boundaries are essential to look after our wellbeing and therefore our effectiveness at work. 

Some of the keys to setting great boundaries are knowing what you want (or don't want), why that matters to you and being able to communicate that to others in an assertive way - confident but friendly. And there are tools to help you achieve this. 

What you will get from this 60-minute session:

Understanding the different types of boundaries we set and understanding your current patterns and preferences.
Strategies for feeling more confident and assertive - ready to have workplace conversations about boundaries.
Guidance on how to assertively and diplomatically put boundaries in place and ask for what you want. 
Tips on how to say no in a way that feels comfortable for you
Support in action planning the boundaries you want to strengthen in your work.

And we’ll end with a visualisation to help you build your confidence.

Presentation - Corporate Sponsorship by Jane Montague

Session aimed at corporate fundraisers.

_ _ _

One of the big conversations Jane seems to be having with hospice clients is how much other hospices are asking for sponsorship of events?

We've asked Jane to run a forum on this very topic to help HIGN members have conversations about what is working and what we're asking of our corporate partners.

Some of the topics we'll be talking about are:

What corporate sponsorship opportunities are you offering your partners?
What added extras are you providing and what are the corporates asking for?
How much are you charging for sponsorship and on what events?
What are some of your wins AND, equally important, what hasn't gone as you've expected?

After the success of the corporate volunteering session that Jane ran last year, this talking forum will be invaluable for HIGN members. Please come ready to share and take part.

Hospice Income Generation Network

Thu 13 Mar 2025 - Corporate Sponsorship

In the UK, 25% of people have a disability. This means, on average, 1 in every 4 of your clients, customers or employees will have a disability.
People often underestimate this number because 80% of disabilities are hidden or invisible, meaning you can’t see them. People also often assume that most people with disabilities are pensioners when in fact 80% of people acquire a disability when they are of working age.
This interactive two hour workshop will use the social model of disability as a framework to demonstrate how understanding disability and embracing inclusivity can significantly benefit your business.

Event details:
Date: Thursday 13th March 2025
Time: 12:00pm - 2:00pm
Location: Online (ZOOM)
For: This workshop is for businesses based in North Essex (Braintree, Chelmsford, Colchester, Maldon, and Tendring)

Why disability matters to your business:
The Purple Pound: Disabled people and their families have a substantial spending power – an estimated £274 billion per year in the UK. By making your business accessible and inclusive, you tap into this significant market.
Enhanced brand reputation: Demonstrating a commitment to inclusivity enhances your brand image and attracts people who value social responsibility. 
Attract top talent: A diverse and inclusive workplace attracts and retains skilled employees, giving you a competitive edge in the North Essex job market.
Increased employee morale: When employees feel valued and respected, morale and productivity improve.

In this interactive workshop, you will:
Explore the Social Model of Disability: Understand how societal barriers create disability, not individual impairments.
Identify and address barriers: Explore common barriers faced by disabled people in accessing your products or services, such as inaccessible websites, limited physical access, and inadequate customer service.
Learn inclusive language and terminology and the skills to navigate conversations about disability with greater respect and sensitivity.
Challenge unconscious bias: Examine your own assumptions and biases regarding disability and learn strategies to account for their impact.

Interactive workshop elements will include:
Engaging group discussions: Share experiences and best practices with other business owners.
Case studies: Analyse real-world examples of businesses that have successfully embraced inclusivity.
Q&A sessions: Ask questions and receive expert guidance from the webinar host.

Meet the Host:
Michelle Scicluna - Founder of The Disability Force

Michelle approaches her workshops with compassion, believing that people genuinely want to do the right thing, but often lack the knowledge to be able to do so. This is because historically and as a society, we haven’t done disability particularly well. The key to doing disability better lies in understanding and applying the social model of disability which focuses on removing societal barriers rather than focusing solely on individual impairments.
Michelle shares her own lived experience as a disabled woman to help bring workshops to life. Acquiring a disability in her late 20s, Michelle knows what it was like to live without a disability and then find yourself suddenly navigating life with barriers you didn’t even understand existed.
Michelle now uses her own journey, combined with her expertise as an evidence-based disability and inclusive leadership coach - certified by the University of Cambridge - to help businesses create more inclusive business and workplace practices and policies.
Please let us know if you have any accessibility requirements to help you get the most out of this online workshop and we will do our best to accommodate your needs where we can.

The courses are designed to have practical application for travel & learning for personal interest. I firmly believe having a grammar component is key for long-term success with learning a language, but I promise to break it down so that it isn’t overwhelming!
When a 10-week course finishes, it will be followed by three weeks of optional revision classes. After this, you can simply choose to join the next level course, until you reach a level where you can join our conversation classes.
You may also like to consider a blended learning approach; group classes are friendlier for your budget than private one-to-one tuition, but top up any time with one of my private lessons to consolidate your learning, ask further questions, revisiting themes or investigate a topic of particular interest to you that may not be covered in the short course. 
This specific course is for those with little or no knowledge of the Spanish language.
