💫You made it!!! 💫. 🎓Congratulations and welcome to all of our new mentors. You have been a pleasure to work with and to learn alongside. Each one of you brings a new set of skills and experiences that are vital to the growth and development of our organisation. 🎓

How blessed to be supported as CEO with such an exceptional Board. Yesterday we spent the day strategy planning and are inspired & motivated for the next stage of our journey. A perfect ending to #trusteesweek 👏👏

We are here to listen but we also want you to have the confidence to be heard. Keep your eyes peeled for a video that I will be posting next week with information and practical tips on how you can navigate your way through meetings and appointments with clarity and confidence.

We know what it's like to feel that you haven't been heard. Our session at 10am at Stretford Mall today and our online session at 18:30 tonight include a workshop on how to be heard during meetings and appointments. Book on here to find out more.

In keeping with this month's theme "Talk to Us" our focus will be on listening and sharing. We will be offering information and guidance on how to connect with your family, we will discuss signposting and compassionate communication amongst other related topics.

We had a fantastic session today. Lots of really valuable time to share and some useful discussions on wellbeing activities. Creating time for you is as important as eating and drinking. Here are some ideas to get you started. What does your break look like today?

A huge thank you to all of those that came to the coffee and catch up today. It was great to see some new faces and seeing the connections blossom has made us smile inside and out 🫶

Here we are at a volunteer's fair at the Tesco in Altrincham. Come and say hi 🫶

Calm Connections simply wouldn't exist without our volunteers. We appreciate everything that you do and we thank our lucky stars that you chose to be a part of our team. I wish that I had a photo of you all #volunteersweek
