A massive shout out to Zara! 🌟

When Amy couldn’t make it to drama group this week, Zara stepped straight in to save the day. And it was only her second night with us! She led the whole session with so much warmth and energy, and everyone had a brilliant time 🎭

A huge thank you as well to and to our soulmate Jordan for helping Zara get ready to lead such a fun session. That’s what this community is all about 💚

Awareness. Understanding. Empathy. 💚

Our training team had a brilliant day delivering neuroinclusion training at Eversheds Sutherland.

At the end, we asked everyone: “What is the single most important thing you’re leaving with today?”

The words that came up most were awareness, understanding and empathy. Others included “being kinder to myself”, “communicate what I need” and “not one standard”. We love that last one. There’s no single right way to think, work or communicate.

We were so proud to receive this feedback afterwards:

💬 “You were all brilliant. I was talking to one of my partners in the employment team this evening who said it was the best training session he had ever attended.”
– Dominic Lacey, Cambridge and Ipswich Senior Office Partner, Construction & Engineering, Eversheds Sutherland

💬 “It was brilliant to have you in. The team had very positive feedback to give – it was a strong training, effective and informative; you guided us through very well. It’s fair to say the Soulmates have a lot of fans in the office!”
– Sophie Garner, Associate, Employment, Eversheds Sutherland

A big thank you to our amazing trainers and co-trainers. Your lived experience, honesty and courage are what make this training so powerful. 🌟

And thank you to Sophie, Dominic and everyone at Eversheds Sutherland for welcoming us so warmly.

💚 Great discussions and shared learning at our Oliver McGowan Tier 2 Training!

Last week, we welcomed staff from Mend Care Ltd, Wisbech and Partnered Care Ltd, Peterborough to one of our Oliver McGowan Tier 2 training sessions.

It was a brilliant, interactive day with lots of interesting discussions, questions and shared experiences. It was great to see everyone getting involved and thinking about how we can make health and social care more accessible and inclusive for autistic people and people with learning disabilities.

A big thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to such a positive day! 👏

Calling all employers and managers 💜

How confident does your workplace feel about supporting neurodivergent staff?

We’re running a short survey to find out what’s working, where managers feel less sure, and what support would really help.

It doesn’t matter if you’re just starting out or already doing lots. Every answer helps.

👉 Take the survey: https://www.cognitoforms.com/SafeSoulmates2/SafeSoulmatesShortEmployerSurvey

Not an employer? You can still help! Please share this with your manager, HR team or anyone you know who runs a business. 🙏
