Rain didn’t stop our Wiltshire team at their first Tidworth Buggy Walk! 👶☔

In true British style, the rain made an appearance… but these amazing parents didn’t let that stop them! Coats on, rain covers out, and off they went 💪

It was a lovely chance for families to connect, whether that was meeting new people after moving to the area, or reconnecting with others during maternity leave.

After the walk, everyone headed back to the library for well-earned refreshments (thank you Tesco 🙌) and stayed for a fun Rhyme Time session 🎶

And after all that… it was definitely time for a nap! 😴
💙 A big thank you to Wiltshire Council Leisure Team, Tesco, the Library, and Wiltshire Family Hubs for bringing this together.

Moments like this show just how powerful community can be, because it really is better together.

Since launching Spurgeons Connect, we’ve been encouraged by the conversations it’s sparked, but the real story comes from the people partnering with us.

Emma, Children and Family Lead and Family Hub Manager at her local church, recently joined Spurgeons Connect. She shares what drew her church to the partnership, what stood out about the initiative, and why they chose to connect with us now.

We’re excited to grow this work together and support churches in serving children and families in their communities.

Our fantastic volunteers at HMP Wi******er recently received some brilliant feedback from Ryan Hayter, HMPPS Service Manager, after he visited to see their work in action.

He said:
“I really enjoyed my visit to HMP Wi******er. The volunteers were so good with the families and friends who came in.”

He also shared:
“I came away thinking that if I had someone in custody and was visiting for the first time, I would be extremely happy with the service and support I received from Spurgeons.”

💙 We couldn’t be prouder!

Our volunteers create a warm, welcoming space for families during visits, offering kindness, reassurance, and support when it’s needed most.

👏 A huge THANK YOU to each and every one of you. You truly make a world of difference.

Volunteers Week at Erdington Best Start Family Hub 💙
On Monday 1st June, the team hosted a Volunteer Marketplace as part of Volunteers Week, bringing together some fantastic local organisations.

It was great to see people chatting, asking questions, and finding out more about how they can get involved and support their community. The organisations who attended really enjoyed the event and are keen for us to do something similar again – so watch this space!

The team also welcomed a new volunteer to their Community and Early Years team today 🎉 She’s asked to stay anonymous, but wanted us to share how excited she is to get started, support local families, and give back to the community. She’s ready to jump straight in and be part of the team!

Thank you to everyone who continues to support our work 💙

Watching your child experience anxiety can feel heartbreaking, especially when they struggle to explain what is worrying them. Anxiety in children can appear through physical symptoms, emotional outbursts, poor sleep, or overwhelming worries about everyday situations.

Supporting an anxious child starts with listening calmly, validating their feelings, and creating routines that help them feel safe and prepared. Small strategies such as worry time, breathing exercises, and calm after-school routines can make a real difference over time. 💛

👉 Read more practical advice on helping children with anxiety, managing anxious feelings, and supporting child mental health in our Family Support Library.
