🎆 Using fireworks this bonfire night? Think beyond your garden.
Using fireworks safely means thinking about more than just the people watching your display.
✅ Read the instructions
✅ Follow the required safety distance
✅ Make sure everyone involved knows what to do
✅ Think about people, animals and spaces nearby

Fireworks can have a negative impact on those around us, including some people with sensory impairment and pets who can suffer stress and anxiety from the loud and sudden noises.

This can be a challenging time during the winter for families.Look out for changes in your child or young person's mood, behaviour, sleep, friendships, school
attendance or usual interests. Create opportunities to talk without judgement, make the time, prioritise them and don’t feel you have to bob the builder it and fix things for them. Allow them time and space to hold them during their difficulties to express themselves safely. I understand
we all have busy lives to maintain and it is difficult to keep all the plates spinning but our dependents or children need us. Sometimes asking - “I've noticed you don't seem quite yourself lately — how are you?” can lead to an opening for further conversation.
Contribution by: CG, Megan’s Space Intern.
Is it time to talk? If it is, reach out to somebody you know however if you feel you would need extra help and would like to talk to one of our practitioners, please contact us via megansspace.com and your enquiry will be confidential.

💛 REAL PARENTS. REAL PROGRESS. 💛
Sometimes seeing someone else take that first step can help you believe that you can too.
One parent told us:
“I didn’t think returning to work would be possible — but the support helped me believe in myself again.”
That’s what We Work for Families is all about. 💛 It’s not about expecting you to be job-ready from day one. It’s about finding out where you are now, what you’d like to achieve and helping you move forward at your own pace.
Our support can include:
🤝 One-to-one support
🎓 Training & qualifications
📝 CVs & job applications
💬 Interview preparation
💼 Help finding jobs that suit you and your family
Whether you’ve been out of work for months or years, your next chapter can start whenever you’re ready.
✨ New confidence. New opportunities. A brighter future for you and your family.
💛 Your story could be next.

There is no ‘right’ way to grieve.
Sometimes, we look at how other people respond to grief and wonder if we’re grieving “the right way” — or even judge ourselves for not feeling or reacting in the same way.
But grief is deeply personal. There is no timeline, no rulebook, and no single way it should look.
We all experience and express grief differently. Some days may feel overwhelming, while others might feel surprisingly ordinary. You might want to talk, or you might need some quiet. You might cry, laugh, feel angry, feel numb — or feel a whole mixture of emotions.
Whatever your grief looks like, your feelings are valid. 💙
Be kind to yourself. There is no ‘right’ way to grieve.
