🌻 Our ALN parent carer group met for a relaxed session where parents had the chance to chat, unwind, and spend time together. We enjoyed some board games reliving some childhood moments.
These sessions are valuable in giving parents time to connect with others who understand the journey and to simply switch off for a while. 💛

We are looking forward to our next session, which will focus on wellbeing. We’re excited to have this delivered and to give practical strategies that support parents as well as their families.

💛 🌞 At today's Gupshup Ladies Group we started the morning with bagels for breakfast and a sweet dish of seera, mango, coconut and milk made by one of the women - a delicious and generous treat for us all, thank you! 🥯☕

This session’s activity was a Conversation Jar, where the group picked thoughtful questions that opened up discussions and personal reflections. The conversations were powerful, creating a space where the women felt heard and understood. We heard about childhood memories now being relived through their own children, traditions such as making mango chutneys during mango season, fishing and treasured family recipes including traditional pithas whilst learning about Welsh traditions such as about the daffodil and St David's Day 🥭 🐟 🎣 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

The group also had a beautiful reminder on the meaning of Alhamdulillah / thankfulness taking time to recognise our blessings, both big and small 🌿 ✨

🌯🍗 🍽️ This week’s cookalong was all about chicken and vegetable fajitas, and it was a huge hit! 🌶️🫑

The children got stuck in chopping, cooking and building their own fajitas, and the feedback was amazing:
💬 “don't think ive ever seen them eat that many different types of veg in one meal without complaining!”
💬 “It was really fun”
💬 “I didnt make fajitas before, but this way is good and easy thank you”

It was fantastic to see children enjoying healthy ingredients in such a fun and hands on way, learning new skills while cooking together as a family and community alhamdulilah 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦✨

It was a beautiful evening of reflection, and connection at Colours of Allah yesterday evening as the group explored the Names of Allah through watercolour and mindful contemplation.
We are grateful to continue creating spaces where faith, creativity, and wellbeing come together.
Reflect. Create. Connect. 🤍

Thank you to everyone who attended the final Standing Together workshop. Throughout the series, parents explored the challenges children and young people face today, learned how to recognise early signs of risk, and developed confidence in having open, protective conversations at home.
We appreciate everyone who took part and contributed to the sessions. We hope the this has provided valuable insights, increased confidence, and practical strategies that will help families continue to support young people in navigating the challenges they face today. Thank you for being part of Standing Together

A huge thank you and acknowledgement to We Stand and ClaraJane for all your knowledge, sharing and adapting the series to meet community needs - we hope to welcome you again very soon!

🌸✨ What a beautiful morning of creativity at our Summer Breeze: Paint Your Own Fan workshop!
The group spent the morning exploring painting techniques and decorating their own hand painted fans with delicate florals and patterns. Every fan became a one-of-a-kind piece of functional art.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and brought such wonderful energy to the session. We loved seeing your artistic ideas come to life and hope you left feeling refreshed, inspired, and proud of your creations.
Swipe through to see some of the beautiful fans created during the workshop! 🌿🎨
