🌿 FREE PARENT WORKSHOP: The Body-Brain Link 🌿
Lancashire parents, this one is for you! We are thrilled to announce that ConnectED Learning is heading to the stunning Lancashire Wildflowers for an exclusive, free workshop designed to change the way you think about movement and learning.
Does your child find it hard to sit still? Do they learn best when they’re on the go? 🏃‍♂️🧠
Join me, Hannah Clark, for an insightful session:
"How Kinesthetic Learning Powers Focus and Supports Sensory Needs"
At Connected Learning, we believe in the power of the body-brain connection. In this workshop, we’ll explore:
- Why movement is a tool, not a distraction.
- Practical strategies to support sensory seekers and avoid burnout through engaging ideas that support learning.
- Simple techniques to boost focus and engagement at home or in the classroom.
We couldn't think of a better place to host this than at Lancashire Wildflowers Learning Hub - Preston —the perfect environment to connect, learn, and flourish together.
The Details:
📅 When: Monday 16th March
⏰ Time: 5pm - 6.30pm
📍 Where: Lancashire Wildflowers
💰 Cost: Completely FREE!
Spaces will belimited to keep the session impactful and personal.
🔗 Drop us a DM to save your seat!
We can’t wait to see you there and help you unlock the power of kinesthetic learning! 🌸✨

Here are a few of our positive pebbles that we did at tonight’s Chorley group. The lovely Della was our guest speaker and we completed some mindfulness activities - so important to look after our own welllbeing whilst looking after others. Thank you to our members for sharing so openly, supporting each other and sharing advice. 💕

January and February are by far our busiest months as our team have been busy supporting members in family crisis and talking openly about the feelings and emotions that they may experience following a young persons su***de attempt and providing practical advice on possible signs to watch out for - the heightened mood for example.
Our amazing guest speakers in January provided us with information on substance misuse, addictions, risky behaviours, PDA and sensory overload.
This week is Children’s Mental Health week too, there’s some great resources here, many available at group.

A busy week again!
The fabulous Lynn from Reachout ASC - Autism, ADHD & PDA Support came to our packed Chorley group last night and they did visual mapping, fantastic feedback as always.
Gutted that the NHSE Research Engagement Network sessions came to an end this week - we’ve had a blast with the fabulous researchers and Ali Kahn Comedy, I’ll miss the fun and laughs we’ve had with these fabulous ladies who just gelled together.
We also had our Parent Lead meeting - loving the idea’s, time, ownership and creative flare the team brings! ❤️

The lovely Steph and Lydia came to our Leyland group meeting last night to share their knowledge and experience of supporting their children with Pathalogical Demand Avoidance (PDA) with our members - the room was packed out! A brilliant night. The ladies will be back in 2026 at our other locations. ⭐️🌟

Some of our fabulous members started their Research journey with the NHS England Research Engagement Network team.
So proud of our members for their engagement and participation so far. The REN team are fabulous and the 9 week course factors in Comedy ….we were all a bit nervous about this, me more than anyone.
We laughed until we cried! Laughter is by far, the best medicine. Introducing the fabulous Ali! xx
