A day in my shoes, a shared collection of SEND parents/carer voices from the north east.

A few words from the pages.

Different experiences. Different voices. Different stories.

But sometimes, the words remind us that we're not as alone as we think.

Just a few snippets of what's coming...

A day in my shoes...
..what can any given day look like for us SEND parents and carers?

See what we came up with in one of our creative writing workshops this summer.

These workshops underpinned and inspired our creative writing which we've produced our book and short awareness film with.

Words matter, and our voices count, not long now until we release our collective work.

What a project...

We can't wait for you to walk a day with us in our shoes... 💚

Myself and Debra wrapped up the “A Day in My Shoes” project yesterday, and what a lovely morning we had bringing it all together. ❤️

We headed into the studio to record some interviews to go alongside the quotes and poetry we’ve received from the SEND parents and carers involved in the project for our short awareness film.

It was really nice to sit and reflect on all the stories and experiences we’ve heard over the course of the project, connecting with other parent carers and thinking about our “why” for this project and what we aim to achieve.

It’s been a really special one. 💚

And yes, the photos make it all look very fancy and professional… 😂
..what you can’t see is how many times we completely forgot how to speak, couldn’t pronounce words, lost our train of thought, had to start again, lost our notes, didn’t know which camera to look at and ended up giggling between takes while trying to get back into serious-face mode. 😅

Honestly…... We take our work seriously...but never ourselves. 😅😂

But that’s the reality of it, isn’t it? Important work, serious conversations, and a good bit of laughing along the way to get us through!

We’re now pulling everything together and aiming to have the book ready to publish, and the short awareness film ready within the next couple of weeks. 🎉

We’re still in the process of finalising plans for our showcasing event in September, but we’ll keep you updated! Again, if you want to attend and have a preference of days/times please let us know and we will try our best to accommodate!

Happy Friday everyone! ❤️

Can’t wait to share it properly. 🤩✨💚

A day in my shoes update ✨

Our final edits have been going on behind the scenes this week and our collection of SEND parent carer creative writing is coming together beautifully 😌

We're also putting a short awareness video together based on our parent carer voices and experiences from the project...
..It's finally coming together!!🥳🎉😃

We're also putting together a showcasing event in September for anyone who has been involved or those who want to come and see what our project was all about...

BIG plans behind the scenes this week. 😍

Wrapping up our final editing on A day in my shoes book and working towards creating our short film using all of our collective creative writing. 💪

To end the full project (after summer 😅) most likely in September, we'd LOVE to have as many of you there as possible so share our voices and see what we've been creating!

Let us know whether day or evenings would work best in the comments! 🙏
