London

Axcis is the leading supplier of special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) staff in England and Wales. We recruit special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) staff for mainstream schools and alternative provisions across England and Wales and offer recruitment solutions for short-term, long-term and permanent vacancies. Working with the broadest range of positions, our candidates include teachers, teaching assistants, therapists and school leaders. Established in 2001, our head office is in London’s West End. We have since grown in-line with increasing demand from schools for the quality, specialist service we are able to provide. We have offices across the UK and continue to expand as more schools hear about us and express a desire to make use of our unique service. Many of our experienced team of consultants are ex-teachers or members of school support staff, so have on-the-ground knowledge of the sector. As a result, we are able to provide a recruitment package which reflects this in-depth understanding of what schools are looking for in the staff they recruit. We have always taken our responsibility to the sector seriously, and this is reflected in our professional partnerships with organisations such nasen (the National Association of Special Educational Needs). Axcis is not “just another agency” and we pride ourselves on offering a unique service which is backed up by a serious commitment to the SEND sector. During our time in partnership with these organisations, we have helped to fund numerous training and support initiatives which have helped to spread awareness and good practice. This goes a long way in demonstrating our commitment to the sector and our desire to give something back. Our client relationships are of paramount importance to us and we pride ourselves on working closely to build long-term partnerships. This is reflected in the positive feedback we receive from schools about our consultants and the service they provide, as well as feedback on the candidates we place. Our compliance process is extremely rigorous. Each applicant must undergo a full series of checks which conform to DfE requirements. Files are then re-checked as part of our quality assurance process before they are cleared to begin working in one of our client schools. We also offer an enviable professional development package, which is open to all Axcis candidates or client school staff. This includes a variety of courses over the academic year, including Team Teach, Non-Verbal Communication, Safeguarding in Education Level 2, Moving and Handling, Autism Awareness and Managing Challenging Behaviour.

weaversbazaar

weaversbazaar

Forest Row

weaversbazaar came out of a shared passion for tapestry weaving when Matty Smith and Lin Squires met for the first time on the 2008 West Dean College Tapestry Summer School. We had both been experimenting with art, craft and cloth weaving and loved using yarns in creative ways. As we progressed through that hot summer week, weaving and talking and talking and weaving, we not only discovered many shared life experiences but also a common sense of fulfilment in the process and outcomes of tapestry weaving. However, once away from West Dean, we faced a serious challenge - how to find high-quality yarns in just the right colours needed for the tapestries we wanted to weave. After much research, a supplier of high-twist worsted yarn was found and then a dyer who was able to match-dye from just a one-inch colour sample...and at that point, we began to think about whether this would be a product and a service that other textile artists would be interested in: weaversbazaar was launched! The products and services we offer have grown in popularity: our original range of six colours have grown to over 200.The fine 18/2 yarn we started with has been complemented by two medium-weight worsted yarns (7/2 & 9.5/2). In addition, we have extended the range of yarns offered to include both dyed and undyed Nettle, Silk and Linen. We commission the manufacture of equipment that cant be found else where and a year ago took on a studio space in which we run workshops. In doing all these things have establish relationships with diverse textile artists arounfd the world and to communicate regularly with our growing community; sharing information and news that we hope both interests and informs. And our own weaving has continued to develop. Lin and Matty are both active members of the British Tapestry Group, the American Tapestry Alliance and the Canadian Tapestry Network and relish opportunities to get together with other tapestry weavers and textile artists to share ideas. Everyone who contributes to weaversbazaar is a textile maker. Matty retired from weaversbazaar in April 2020. But we continue and Rachel Hanney has joined Lin to continue to develop weaversbazaar. Our mission remains to be the place to find quality yarns and reliable, to provide a personalised service and to facilitate creativity and especially Tapestry Weaving as a contemporary art form.

Chennai Taichi

Chennai

Tai Chi looks like a strange slow motion exercise which is a well choreographed active mind-body exercise practiced in a precise order. It was created-designed as a beautiful soft form of internal martial art and has been accepted and practiced worldwide as an effective relaxation exercise therapy. Tai Chi is one of the most fascinating exercises you can possibly do which increases flexibility, strengthens the legs and loosens the hips, increases spinal flexibility, enhances breathing, stimulates the immune system and offers relaxation at the same time, helping even the most tensed person an opportunity to relax and rejuvenate their body. It’s quiet and concentrated movements help regain mental peace and emotional balance by changing people’s life to the best. Tai Chi is one the most positive life enhancing experiences which can be perfect for any age and can be wonderfully non-competitive that all ages and skill levels can benefit. As you practice Tai Chi daily-slowly you begin to see yourself changing in everyday behavior. It controls and clears unnecessary thoughts and helps us gain control over our emotions. Your focus starts to change and start respecting business ethics and the way you interact with others changes. A sense of closeness develops with everyone you meet. The changes which happen inside us are reflected by our behavior on the outside. Any problem will no longer be viewed that way. You approach your problems with an open mind. You naturally develop into who you really are. Benefits of Tai Chi during learning are patience, acceptance of things as they are, increase in physical, emotional, mental awareness and greater insight. We are immersed in a life style attitude that would stress the immune system, mainly as overwork or a hectic lifestyle schedule, indulging in risky behavior, relationships against our self-esteem. Remember stress can also come from a fragile sense of self worth, feeling powerless against multiple pressures. Tai Chi offers you a lot, much more than one can possibly achieve in a life time. It changes people’s life to the best. Makes us aware of our emotional state and can change it any moment thus keeping our mind clear and focused. If you feel that you need a change - Tai Chi will do it for you. It will give you the ability to realize and explore yourself much deeper.
