We help Women to Thrive in Menopause Led by Experts by Experience, we campaign for menopause awareness and aim to change the narrative and misconceptions around peri and post menopause through a range of initiatives: – Raising awareness across all genders and communities, as well as within organisations and the health care system, through the delivery of community talks, workshops, one-to-ones, and increasingly with minority communities, – Signposting to evidence-based information, so that individuals, employers and clinicians make informed choices on long-term hormonal health and holistic options to thrive mentally and physically, combining exploring lifestyle choices, HRT and a range of therapies, and providing tools and resources that people can take away and use over a period of time, – Working with medical professionals and health care services to address the lack of training of clinicians across all disciplines, and empower primary care to grow their knowledge for early intervention and prevention of long-term harm, – Referring individuals to funded services with menopause specialists.

all aboard learning

The All Aboard team have been working in literacy research since 2008. Most of our research has been with struggling readers, through intervention work using our Easyread System. By developing an understanding of the cause of difficulty for each child and testing different solutions, we have developed a unique approach of the learn-to-read journey using phonics. That research process has involved helping over 15,000 struggling readers reach reading confidence. The success rate has risen slowly to over 99%. Have a look through the sort of testimonials we receive on Facebook from the teachers and parents of those children.

project lily

There are times when things are challenging for a whole range of different reasons. Many individuals seem to be functioning normally on the outside, whilst inside they can be falling apart. When this happens, our team is there to listen and provide life-changing guidance, direction and support. Young Jewish adults are often affected by a huge range of emotional health and stress-related issues. These may include relationship problems, career difficulties, anxiety, illness, disability, bereavement, depression, eating disorders and even thoughts of suicide. Project Lily is there to provide early intervention for maximum effect. By being there for individuals when they begin to ‘stumble’, Lily can prevent a much more serious ‘fall’.

thinking reading

Our mission is to ensure that all pupils leave secondary school reading well. We support schools with training, resources and lesson design, so that pupils who were struggling with their reading catch up quickly and completely. Thinking Reading is a whole-school strategy with an intensive, one-to-one intervention at its heart. Our practice is built upon the synthesis of well-evidenced teaching methods with decades of research evidence to support them. In addition to consulting with school leaders and training to build teachers' knowledge, we publish the resources needed for this intensive teaching, along with a 10-part lesson plan that ensures individualisation of each precise step in a clear, easy-to-use format.

They will then provide advice, intervention and training if this is seen to be appropriate. The Speech and Language Therapist will work closely with parents/ carers’; discussing the child’s needs and provide coaching on ways in which to practise activities at home with their child.
