Autumn 2019

Autumn Update

Hello and welcome to our Autumn Newsletter, which is our last newsletter with some NEW updates whilst we wait for our Winter newsletter to be made.

We hope you have been enjoying the sunny (and sometimes rainy as it is now) weather we have experiencing over the past few weeks!

As ever, we have been really busy here at Find Your Spark and are pleased to announce that going forward we are going to be taking a much more parenting focused approach to the work that we do.

Keep reading below to find out some more of what we've been up to.

Funding For Parents

Thanks to everyone’s support and giving us your TESCO blue coins.

We have enough funding to support FOUR parents to have FOUR one to one Brief Solution Focused Therapy sessions to discuss any issues they may have and move them forward to a more positive future.

Each parent will receive a signed ‘Walking on Sunshine’ book from our ambassador Rachel Kelly. Parents will be selected on a first come first served basis.

We will look to start delivering the sessions in January 2020 so Get In Touch Now to express interest!

Find out more about our Brief Solution Focused Therapy sessions HERE.

COOP Green Coins Scheme

We have also received £300 funding from the COOP Green coins scheme which will also go towards the parenting support so thank you to everyone who gave us their green coins! We will soon be going to collect our big cheque so stay tuned for an upcoming newsletter to see that picture!

Additionally, we have received £4,500 from Colchester Borough Homes, which you will find out more about in the next newsletter so we have lots of resource and funding for parents available :)

Thurrock Social Enterprise

Michelle has been running a Social Enterprise programme in Grays for the past few years as a Learning Manager and has now got a new role with Unltd as a Grant Manager which will enable her to give out grants. If you or someone you know lives in Grays and has a business idea that will benefit society positively then please get in touch!

52 Practical Steps to Happiness in Action!

Finally, I have recently started reading the 52 Practical Steps to Happiness from ‘Singing in the Rain’ from our ambassador Rachel Kelly (introduced to you in our previous newsletter) .

It's such an amazing book and I wanted to share with you one of the tips I have put into practice!

When I wake, rather then get straight out of bed, I ground myself by breathing in for 7 and out for 11 and then to give myself a big old stretch. I then have a cold shower but more on that next time. It really works for me so see if it works for you too!

I will share some more tips in upcoming newsletters so stay tuned!
