London

The Sunflower Effect is a proven confidence-building system based in an adapted form of drama, that has been transforming the lives of quiet, reserved and introverted people since 1997.  It was developed by Claire Schrader, the UK's leading confidence expert in the area of shyness, social anxiety and self-consciousness. Say goodbye to inhibitions, self-consciousness and develop a natural and authentic self-confidence the fast, fun and easier way. You will discover that it is not just the outgoing, go-getting, socialites that get along in this world. There is a very high success rate from the Sunflower Effect Confidence Courses i.e. overcoming anxiety, speaking up in groups, socialising, networking or advancing your career prospects. And a 100% money-back guarantee (conditions apply). Connect with others who are experiencing the same issues: shyness, self-consciousness, fear of speaking in groups, social anxiety, and other confidence issues. Unlike other confidence-building courses that teach you a series of techniques that you will quickly forget, the Sunflower Effect Confidence Courses work in a unique way. They work through an adapted form of drama that enables you to work from the inside to shift habitual behaviours and mindset. Currently, all in-person courses take place in Central London. But the effects can just as powerful through the Sunflower Effect online courses and individual sessions. All online courses are on Zoom which means that you will be meeting online with Claire Schrader and other participants in a private interface through the Zoom platform. ABOUT CLAIRE SCHRADER Claire Schrader has developed one of the fastest ways for quieter people to break out of their shell and develop an effortless self-confidence through her confidence-building system, the Sunflower Effect. She started out in life as a shy introvert until she discovered the way out through drama, theatre and improvisation.  She creates a very safe place for her students to break out of their shell at their own pace and in their own way. She has been featured on Sky TV and BBC Radio World Services. In 2021 she launched the first Sunflower Effect Confidence Course Leader Training and so we will have more facilitators offering courses.

Dementia Club UK is a well-established UK charity, working hand in hand with the local community since 2013 to support people living with dementia and their carers and works in partnership with Barnet Carers and Barnet Council.  Dementia has become a growing concern and is unfortunately the leading number one killer. The main aim of a dementia club is to provide much needed respite to carers and those living with these conditions; to give our members the chance to meet socially in a relaxed atmosphere over a cup of tea and coffee and cakes and make new friends; take part in gentle exercise and fun activities.  Dementia Club UK welcomes those living with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia and also provides advice and information to their carers and families and also welcomes those who have lost someone with dementia and are now lonely.  Our founder and Chairman of Dementia Club UK and also former Mayor of the London Borough of Barnet and local councillor, Lisa Rutter, wrote a paper called ‘The Dementia Club UK Model’ which outlines the core principles that have come together to form our Dementia Clubs. The charity commissioned an independent research study in May 2015, conducted by Middlesex University London, which “showed (demonstrated) that the dementia club as having a positive impact on those living with or caring for a person with dementia, based on the techniques and the model used in its cafes.”   The dementia club sessions run for 2 hours in the afternoons and provide various activities from quizzes, bingo, singing, poetry reading, arts and crafts and indoor games liking putting golf or table tennis. We then have about 30 minutes of fun exercise to music including yoga and in the final part of the session we have live music entertainment performed by various professional singers including Opera singers and Elvis and Abba impersonators.  We often invite professional speakers to attend to provide information and advice on current topics related to dementia. Our members attend our dementia clubs with their families which is something we like to encourage as it creates a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Our members come from many faith communities and backgrounds which makes for exciting times when we celebrate events throughout the year.  Dementia Club UK now runs 6 dementia clubs across the Borough of Barnet and also continues to run the popular online Zoom carers group meeting every week on Tuesday evening for carers. We often have guest speakers, typically from either a medical or political background, discussing relevant topics and allowing for a question-and-answer session too. We also use this session to provide training sessions in areas of health, wellbeing and mindfulness.   Dementia Club UK has recently been recognised by the Barnet Group and was awarded Charity of the Year 2020.  We have also featured as a WHICH Support Group. A radio and video documentary was produced by the BBC to help showcase the charity and all it does for the community, both of which aired on national radio and television.   Most recently in November 2022, we are very proud to have won the tender from the London Borough of Barnet to provide training online around Understanding Dementia. The aim is to help Barnet Council as they work towards their target of becoming a Dementia Friendly Borough.  We are now delivering online training to individuals and organisations, businesses, faith communities etc with the aim of creating more dementia champions and also to help organisations to become dementia friendly. Lisa has written the one-hour training course which is CPD Certified. The course is provided online using Microsoft Teams in the mornings and ZOOM in the evenings to give people a choice.  Lisa is happy however to organise bespoke training dates if any of the dates through Eventbrite are not convenient.   We aim to continue raising awareness to reach as many people as possible in all communities, to ensure people living with dementia feel safe, included and involved while retaining control over their every day life and having the scope of choice they need to live well.
