🍂 October Monthly Round-Up 🍂

Autumn is now in full swing, and it's been another busy and exciting month for everyone involved with our services! 🍁

Our Gardening Group have been hard at work preparing the garden for the upcoming winter season, making sure everything is ready for the colder months ahead. 🌱🍂

Meanwhile, our Art Group have been getting creative, designing and decorating beautiful autumn-themed bags using fabric pens. There were some fantastic designs and plenty of seasonal inspiration! 🎨🧡

Our Cooking Group are also looking very smart in their brand-new black aprons, which have replaced the old white ones. We think you'll agree they look fantastic and are already being put to good use in the kitchen! 👩‍🍳👨‍🍳🖤

This month, our Short Breaks have taken groups and individuals on trips to Backworth, Whitley Bay, Cresswell and Berwick, creating opportunities for fun, friendship, and new experiences. 🚐🌊

We were delighted to welcome Sophie and Lynn to our Outreach Team this month. We're excited to have them on board and look forward to the difference they'll make. 💙

We're also pleased to have received funding from Healthwatch to consult with young people about their health and their experiences of attending appointments. This important project will help ensure that young people's voices are heard and can contribute to improving local services. 🗣️✨

The month got off to a fantastic start with our fabulous fundraiser, which raised an incredible £891.20 for the charity. Thank you to everyone who supported us, donated, attended, or helped make the event such a success. 🎉💙

It's been wonderful to see so much participation, creativity, and support across all of our groups and activities throughout October. As we move into November, we're looking forward to continuing this momentum and creating even more opportunities.

Thank you to everyone who has been part of our October journey! 🍂🍁✨

Today, a group of our Early Connections children and their families enjoyed a private screening of Monsters & Minions at Cineworld Newcastle 🍿🎬

For many of the children, accessing a regular cinema showing can be difficult, and for most, this was their very first trip to the cinema. It was wonderful to see so many smiles, excitement, and enjoyment throughout the day.

We were also joined by one of our young volunteers, Maisie, who helped welcome families by signing everyone in and keeping some of the children entertained throughout the film. Thank you, Maisie, for all your help! 🌟

We are incredibly proud of every child who attended. Everyone was amazing, and it was lovely to see families making special memories together. 💙

A huge thank you to Newcastle Round Table for funding this trip and making it possible for the children to have this experience.

🦋 Introducing our Butterfly room 🦋

We're pleased to share the opening of our new Butterfly room.
This welcoming space will be the base of our Mental Health Champion and will also be used for staff meetings, supervisions and conversations that support wellbeing and personal development.

We hope the Butterfly Room provides a calm and comfortable environment where people feel supported, listened to and able to connect with others.
A small addition to our setting but one that reflects our ongoing commitment to the wellbeing of our team.

This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a group of ladies were supported to visit the breast screening mobile unit.

The visit gave everyone an opportunity to ask questions, learn what happens during a breast screening appointment, and look around the unit in a welcoming and supportive environment. The group also met Erica Ridley, the Health Promotion Officer for Breast Screening, who shared helpful information and answered their questions.

Knowing what to expect can help make screening feel less daunting. Thank you to everyone involved for making the visit so informative and reassuring. 💗
