Boss night last night with our 13-16yrs group at AHFO . As part of our ongoing 5 week Daniel Halliday program, the session was all around CREATIVITY. It might just look as simple as children sat around the table drawing etc but within this there’s so many benefits.

• Confidence and self-esteem
• Self-expression
•Social connection
•Emotional wellbeing
•Problem-solving and independence •Belonging

These sessions also provide a natural opportunity for us youth workers to build positive relationships through conversations with the kids, Win - Win 📈

Massive thanks to Phil & Mia also for volunteering, yous are the best ❤️

Spent the day with Oliver Jude at the Do Business Better Conference 2026 which was organised and lead by the brilliant Ellie Carr Merseyside Women Of The Year . If you run or own as business or are a sole trader then you will know how busy life can be running your own thing. The highs and the lows, the competence needed not just the confidence and also the skill sets needed for each area of a business to excel.

Today’s event and speakers touched on all factors or what it takes to run your enterprise from legal, finance, the importance of networking, inspiring others, knowing your self worth and self belief, how to use Ai and not be scared of it either and much more, every speaker was so informative and I have taken so much away from the day, not just from a business way but also a personal one too and one of the things that was mentioned was us women always putting ourselves last including our own finances but how important it is for us to prioritise this as we don’t know what is around the corner.

It was great to see what others are doing from, private, public and third sector within our City 👏👏👏👏 we are so lucky and we all need to be more aware of what is available within our great City, listening to the stories of the Liverpool current and historical business innovators.Wow.

Also great to meet up with so many organisations we have not only partnered with over the years but some we have supported too with AHFO.

What a brilliant, positive, informative and inspiring day.

Thank you Ellie Merseyside Women Of The Year

So lovely to meet up with Chris Clark Ithalia Johnson | Joyful Journeys

And all the lovely ladies from Mersey side woman of the year Michelle, Sharon, Jude, Christina, Debs and Nikki 🤍

Working with our kids from the age of 6 and they get to 11 and 12 and tonight’s session is creative week, and I asked them to write a little something of what AHFO has and means to them 🩵

🩵 World Peace is in our Hands - Jordan
🩵 Pizza is good but better with friends - Patrick
🩵To, AHFO team thank you for helping me all the time. To the team you are always there for me. Thank you so much, - George
🩵Remember to Breath. - Fumi
🩵Never give up, BELIEVE. - Athan
🩵A little party never killed nobody - Pearl

To think that idea of giving an hour for others and 12 years later this is what our nearly teenagers thoughts are of AHFO 🩵🫶✨

Today at our Huyton Hub we had our coffee afternoon bringing people together with a cuppa and a.laugh.  Thank you to Cathy our regular here at AHFO who helps with anything. She made a beautiful lemom drizzle cake and fed everyone . Then we had our weekly  6-9yrs group.  Each week we have a topic and today was about what positive means to us all and then what was a positive experience to them. A big thank you to Mia & Haydn for taking the group with me bringing their own experiences of positivity to the kids. To hear some.of them say their positive experience was joining our group was so lovely.
Onto some halloween cookie decorating two of our kids showed us some Yoga which was briliant and then ended with AHFO got talent and for a brand new group of 6-9yrs they were incredible. Ending with  us all having a dance off.... perfect!
AHFO Together we are strong x
