team autism

Susan had friends who were autistic and thought she knew a lot about autism. Whilst working in Retirement Housing, Susan had a communication breakdown with an Autistic Resident which led her to pursue Autism Awareness Training. Susan attended an Autism Awareness Course delivered by Helen Storey MBE, founder of Triple A Project. During the course, Susan realised that her own daughter, Daniella could be Autistic. Daniella met Helen and became a volunteer at Triple A, not thinking she was autistic, until she also attended the course and said it explained her whole life. The path to getting a diagnosis was long and extremely frustrating. After 2 years, Daniella was diagnosed Autism (Aspergers) and passionately co-delivered Autism Awareness Training with Helen and others.

aunty social

Aunty Social is a community arts organisation that gives people opportunities to develop their creativity, learn new skills and connect with others through positive arty activities. We coordinate a diverse programme of arts and cultural activities designed to bring people together in a safe, supportive, gentle space. What about the future? Well, we’re keen to build on everything we’ve achieved. We’re looking to employ staff to help us with our new venue and with office work – hey, if we can do all of this in our free time on evenings and weekends, imagine what we could achieve if we had some help! All in all, we want to continue offering the people of the Fylde Coast even more great things to do. We want to share and make great art in our local communities so we can all enjoy all the social benefits. A little history We started out back in 2011 as a group of friends who wanted something fun, affordable and social to do. There were very few ways to meet new people that didn’t involve going to a pub or a bar. So we raided our attics, scoured our wardrobes and went off to a car boot sale to raise £30 for our very first workshop. Since then, we’ve done all manner of lovely activities and reaching thousands of local people. We’ve received funding from a variety of sources such as Arts Council England, Blackpool Council, BFI, Richmond Fellowship, Leftcoast, Street to Scale and EU Youth Initiatives but this is not the majority of our income. We really believe in sustainability and work hard to earn our own income through workshop delivery, research and creative retail sales; making sure that projects can pay for themselves or each-other. Fast forward to 2022 and we now have a variety of projects on the go as well as online arts and culture magazine Blackpool Social Club and the Winter Gardens Film Festival. We’re still completely volunteer-run and led; we are super proud of all our helpers who help us put on events and activities to a professional standard.

Our sessions are open to all and aim to increase access to nature. We are committed to providing high quality forest school sessions with a percentage of subsidised and free places on every programme, delivering in accessible spaces and developing strong communities around each programme. Research shows that the closer we get to nature, the happier we are, the more worthwhile life seems, and the more we are willing to take action to help our wildlife and the environment. With a focus on increasing accessibility to forest school and natural spaces, we also deliver free holiday sessions for children receiving free school meals and those with additional needs, as part of Lincolnshire County Council’s Holiday Activities and Food Scheme. We provide inclusive sessions for families with autistic children and funded forest school sessions in inner city areas. We also deliver forest school programmes for home educating families, holiday clubs and in schools. Our parent and child groups introduce children and families to nature play and activities based on forest school principles. We continue to extend our provision, to offer more free and subsidised places, develop a volunteer programme for young leaders and offer sessions to adults and families that support mental health and wellbeing.

volunteers for educational support and learning (vesl)

I’m sad to say that this year [2014] was the last time VESL will be sending volunteers abroad. We have had an amazing 11 years working with some extremely hard-working people on projects I genuinely believe were worthwhile and made a difference to the local communities. I would like to thank all the past volunteers and coordinators, host families, in-country managers and fellow trustees, and most of all our two programme directors who formed VESL and kept it going through thick and thin – Ian Livingstone and Tom Harrison. Our hope is to develop a new funding model for VESL with an aim to return in 2015 as an educational grant-giving body – watch this space for more details. We are also hoping to arrange a reunion for all volunteers who have worked on VESL projects since 2003. In the meantime, we would love to hear how VESL has made a difference in your lives and what experiences you had in Thailand, India, and the place where it all began, Sri Lanka and welcome posts on the VESL facebook page.

mayfair community centre

The Strettons Mayfair Trust began in 1996 when local people provided the volunteer support and commitment to create a community centre out of a residential home that was closing. With the support of South Shropshire Housing Association and 60 registered volunteers, the Community Centre opened in June 1997.What is complementary health? Complementary health means taking a holistic or whole approach to your physical and mental wellbeing. Complementary therapists guide patients in ways that will bring balance and harmony back into every level of daily life. All of the practitioners who operate from Mayfair are fully qualified in their own therapy, fully insured and have been in practice for at least two years. Each one is affiliated to their relevant governing body and practises according to the codes of practice and ethics of that governing body. Most practitioners are willing to negotiate fees in cases of hardship. Contact us at Mayfair for more information about individual practitioners and their therapies. Please note, these are appointment-only services.

rua birth & baby

Hi, I'm Mairéad and I'm a baby massage teacher, antenatal teacher and postnatal practitioner based in Epsom, Surrey. In my other role, as a mother, I have two young boys who keep me extremely busy. I am passionate about supporting women and their partners through pregnancy and birth and providing them with tools to help with their transition to parenthood and the first days, weeks and months. My training with NCT and the University of Worcester as well as my role as volunteer co-ordinator of our local NCT Bumps and Babies group has afforded me the privilege of working with many parents and children over the last few years. In fact, it is since having my own children and realising how challenging parenthood can be that I decided to change career and become involved in perinatal support. Through my classes and 1-1 sessions it is possible to develop skills and build your confidence for a positive birth and for those early days of parenthood.
