🌿 Life Story Work Workshop
Blackpool Mill, Pembrokeshire 🌿

Following our upcoming Life Story Work Workshop at Blackpool Mill, we’re pleased to be able to offer attendees some additional support.

We know that every child and family’s circumstances are different, and sometimes it can be helpful to talk through how Life Story Work can be approached in your own situation.

As a follow-up to the workshop, attendees will have the opportunity to book a one-off individual session for advice and guidance, tailored to your child and family’s individual circumstances.

📅 Thursday 8th October
⏰ 10am–1pm
📍 Blackpool Mill, Pembrokeshire

The workshop is free to attend and will offer practical ideas, guidance and support around Life Story Work, identity, belonging and helping children understand their story safely and sensitively.

📧 To book your space, email: [email protected]

Spaces are limited, so please get in touch if you would like to join us.

Thank you so much to everyone who came, donated, volunteered and helped make it happen last weekend💛

Together we raised over £3,000, and every penny will help us support more people who need it.
I wanted to share why this matters so much to me.

Through my work, I meet so many people who have carried things for years without ever really talking about them. Things that happened to them that were completely outside of their control. Loss that was never recognised. Experiences they were expected to simply move on from. Parts of their story they’ve never had the space to understand.

I don’t believe anyone should ever feel shame about their past, their story, or for reaching out for support.

I believe that, when we’re ready, understanding the things we’ve been through can help us move forward and build a better future. Yet so often, shame and fear of judgement are exactly what stop people asking for help.

That’s why I started No Shame Foundation. 💛

Support without judgement.
Help without shame.
Whatever your story.

We’ve still got a long way to go, but we’re getting there.

Small steps, big dreams. 💛
