🧵✨ Sewing for Wellbeing – Confidence Grows Stitch by Stitch ✨🧵

Another wonderful session filled with creativity, laughter, and growing confidence! Whether you were joining us for the first time or are one of our regular sewers, everyone embraced the opportunity to learn, create, and support one another. 💙

👏 Congratulations to everyone who completed their beautiful oven gloves and stylish sunglasses cases. Each project was unique and a reminder that confidence comes from trying something new and celebrating every achievement, no matter how big or small.

Sewing for Wellbeing is about so much more than making things – it’s about building friendships, taking time for yourself, and discovering what you’re capable of. Seeing new sewers gain confidence alongside our experienced members is what makes these sessions so special. 🌟

Let’s help get this inspirational young man get the award he deserves.

I’ve just found out I’ve been nominated in this year’s MBCC Awards for Role Model of the Year and I won’t lie… that really means a lot but I really need all of YOUR help with it but asking kindly for you to click the link below and vote for me 🗳️ 😱🙏🏼

When I think about what this represents, it’s not about a title or a moment on a stage. It’s about the work happening in the background, in the darker times, in the spaces where people need support the most. ❤️

From speaking openly about ADHD and neurodiversity through You, Me & ADHD, to sitting with families, young people, and schools trying to make sense of things together, it’s always been about being honest, real, and accessible. Just lived experience and truth 🧠💬

It’s about showing up for young people in a way that says you’re not alone, and your brain isn’t a problem, it’s just different 💙

Through Ryedale Skate School 🛹, community skate sessions, events, and outreach, it’s been about giving young people something simple but powerful… direction, movement, confidence, and belonging. Especially in times where pressure on families is so heavy 🏫⚡

And beyond that, my work as a presenter and DJ 🎤🎧 has taken me into so many different spaces, but I’ve never believed in a “two tier” world between stage and audience. I’m not above anyone. I’m one of you. I’ll always come down, talk, listen, and share those moments properly 🤝✨

Alongside that, supporting charities and grassroots community work has always been at the heart of everything I do, not for recognition, just because it matters ❤️

So to even be nominated in a category like this alongside so many incredible people is genuinely humbling 🙌

If you’d like to support me, you can vote here 👉 https://mbccawards.com/vote-now/

Thank you so much 🤍

☀️ Wellbeing Walk – Cowhouse Bank ☀️

This week’s wellbeing walk took us to the beautiful Cowhouse Bank, where we enjoyed glorious sunshine, stunning countryside views, and plenty of nature along the way.

The hedgerows and banksides were alive with vibrant foxgloves, creating a spectacular display of colour. Foxgloves are one of our most striking native wildflowers and are an important source of nectar for bumblebees. Interestingly, each flower is perfectly shaped to guide visiting bees deep inside, helping to pollinate the plant. Although beautiful, all parts of the foxglove are poisonous, so they should always be admired rather than handled.

One of the highlights of the walk was spotting a slow worm basking in the sunshine. Despite looking like a snake, a slow worm is actually a legless lizard! Unlike snakes, they have eyelids and can blink. They are completely harmless to people and help gardeners by feeding on slugs and other small invertebrates. If threatened, they can even shed their tails to escape predators.

As always, there was plenty of good conversation, fresh air, and an opportunity to appreciate the wonderful wildlife right on our doorstep. Thank you to everyone who joined us for another enjoyable walk.

🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️ Everyone is welcome to join our weekly wellbeing walks – a great way to stay active, meet new people, and explore the beautiful countryside together.
