This White Ribbon Day we went over boundaries, acceptable ways of speaking to women and each other, and misogyny in sports with the boys all through an interactive and accessible team game approach to keep the young people engaged as they learnt and shared ideas. We discussed healthy relationships, boundaries, and stereotypes with the girls in smaller groups as they have a tendency to speak over each other, this gave them the opportunity to each have a voice and have a go at the activities.
What a fab event! Our volunteers were a delight, helping with the homemade soup and guiding the service users when making their fancy crafts. Everyone had a great time together, including the outside organisations. Bring on the next one!     
Big thank you to Sandra and Lloyd Caldeira for their generous donation to our charity shop! It makes a great difference to our service users.  A big thank you to Tweendykes for having us at their Macmillan Coffee Morning with their parents and students! They all had a blast doing mindful crafts with us - salt jars and lavender bags - and we loved talking to them about what we've got on offer and what opportunities are available at our building. Hopefully we'll be able to go again sometime soon! Thank you to Ruth from the Voice and Influence Team for coming to speak to the young people about their thoughts on the Make Your Mark topics.
   The outreach group completed their final intensive Domestic Abuse Awareness session this month. They've completed some fantastic work over the last 9 weeks through group discussions, written work and young people-led scenarios that have encouraged critical thinking and confidence within the group.
The young people have started on their newest campaign - all about periods! Younger girls have kicked it off by making a poster to be put up in all of our toilets letting service users know we have free period products available to them at all times. We're excited to see this campaign develop over the next few months. |
