It's scary that we have had 3181 referrals this year so far. But we are determined to continue supporting local people who have been impacted by abuse. ??If you'd like to support our work, please visit our website https://lnkd.in/eYPAZZrZ ?? #YellowDoorSupport #LocalCharity #YouAreNotAlone #StopSexualViolence #StopSexualAbuse #StopDomesticAbuse #Support #Abuse #SupportUs #SpookySeason

Navigating the transition from holiday mode to being back at school can be an anxious time for children, teenagers and carers alike. Here are a few tips for carers to help you, help them: ?Create an atmosphere at home where children feel comfortable chatting about their anxieties and concerns. ?Having a clear morning and evening routine can make transitions between home and school smoother e.g. a place to put shoes and bags, so they can easily find them the next day. ?A good night’s sleep is key! ?Modelling positive relationships can help children navigate their own relationships with friends and teachers. At Fitzgerald Fostering we provide our carers with comprehensive training and are on hand 24/7 to provide support should it be needed. The charity Action for Children have some great resources for the back-to-school transition: https://lnkd.in/ehcfvwvh #fitzgeraldfostering #backtoschool #backtoschool2024 #independentfosteringagency #fostercaresupport #fostercareuk #fostercareawareness

With adoption, you need an agency that’s transparent, that you can trust, and that’s respectful of the children and their histories. The agency should be willing to walk you through their entire process, from beginning to end. It’s also important to understand that adoption isn’t an act of charity. You’re not saving a disadvantaged child, who should then reward you with eternal gratitude. These children are suffering tremendous loss. In the case of international adoption, they’re losing an entire culture. Adoption is a beautiful, amazing thing, but it’s important to be respectful of the trauma the child goes through, and the loss and grief that may follow. #adoption #adoptionadvocate #adoptionstruggles

Reoffending doesn’t just affect the individual; it has a profound impact on families. As someone who has been through this cycle, I know firsthand the emotional and financial strain it places on loved ones. Children suffer from instability, spouses face overwhelming stress, and parents grapple with guilt and helplessness. The ripple effect of incarceration can hinder family cohesion and long-term well-being. At Foundation 2 Change we’re dedicated to breaking this cycle. Our holistic approach addresses the root causes of offending, offering support not just to individuals but also to their families. Through our programs, we aim to develop healthier relationships and provide the tools needed for lasting change. Join us in our mission to create stronger families and communities. Learn more about how you can support our work and make a difference. ??Contact us at 07455 117092 ??visit foundation2change.org. #Foundation2Change #PrisonerRehab #CorporateEngagement #Charity

?? Boss Lawyers is proud to support The DLD Project Foundation! ?? We’ve donated a Peppers Resort Broadbeach gift voucher, valued at $1,500, to be auctioned at the upcoming charity lunch hosted by CloudTec Accountants. All proceeds will go toward raising awareness and supporting individuals impacted by Developmental Language Disorder (DLD). ?? Friday, 18 October is DLD Awareness Day, a powerful reminder of the invisible struggles faced by millions of children and adults worldwide. DLD affects about 7% of the population—two children in every classroom. It impairs the ability to understand and express language, yet often goes unnoticed, misunderstood as shyness or behavioural issues. For those with DLD, conversations can feel like navigating a maze, creating isolation and frustration. Although more common than autism, DLD remains under-recognized, leading to delays in support. Individuals with DLD are not lacking in intelligence; they just need the right tools and understanding to communicate effectively. With the proper support, they can thrive! ??The DLD Project Foundation is making an incredible impact by raising awareness, advocating for those affected, and providing critical resources to help individuals and families navigate this hidden disability. Together, we can build a more inclusive and supportive future for those with DLD! ??

Counseling services are available for both individuals and groups. In individual sessions, the focus is on managing or ceasing substance use, enhancing skills, sticking to recovery plans, and improving social, familial, and work or educational situations. Group sessions complement individual counseling by offering social support to reinforce recovery efforts. #HealingTogether #OneOnOneSupport #GroupSupport #OvercomingAddiction #SubstanceRecovery #MakeADifference #VolunteerWork #ActOfKindness #SupportOthers #USNonprofits #HopeForTheFuture #CharitableGiving #RaiseFunds #SupportCauses

We may all know someone who is experiencing a drug or alcohol problem.??Imagine what it is like for the families and the non-using partner??In the UK there are 5 million families making difficult decisions and facing situations that many of us take for granted: leaving children alone with a partner; keeping peace at mealtimes; explaining absences at important events and celebrations and many more… And then imagine having no-one to share your problems with. Adfam is there for those non-using partners and overlooked families.?The leading national charity for families affected by substance misuse,?Adfam gives a voice to the 5 million families who would otherwise be neglected and forgotten.?Adfam focuses on the family members providing vital support for the ‘ghosts’ who live in the shadow of each addict, every single day, with no voice and no help. It provides vital support through frontline services for those forgotten people to improve their own physical and mental wellbeing, alongside the recovery process for the drinker or user. Do you want to help give a voice to those forgotten families? If your agency is passionate about this cause, get in touch with Passion Partnership.?We help to match and mentor pro bono partnerships, and we are building a vibrant community of agencies and charities who share the need to #chatprobono.

Huge shout out to my wonderful fellow trustees and colleagues at Support SEND Kids (especially Rachel Amos and Tamsin Ogilvie) for our research in partnership with Skynewsuk.com which shows that: - 3 in 4 parents who have a child with SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) have given up work or cut their hours. - 2 in 5 parents who have a child with SEND have left work. - 1 in 3 parents who have a child with SEND have reduced their hours. Reform of the entire SEND education system is required to help get these parents back into work, and most importantly to ensure children have access to the education they deserve as a basic human right. I feel incredibly lucky to work for an employer in Virgin Media O2 who provides flexibility in the form of carers leave, emergency leave and parental leave (thanks Nisha Marwaha and our awesome DEI networks!) as well as to have an awesome team who “just get it” and always support me, otherwise I too would form part of this shocking statistic. If anyone knows any SEND parents needing help to navigate the SEND system, please share the Support SEND Kids site with them, or I’m always happy to help people in similar situations access useful resources. #SEND #ParentCarers #SENDCrisis #WorkingParents #SENDLaw

Most (around three quarters) of the children and young people that SHiFT works with were open to Children’s Social Care?when they began working with their SHiFT Guide. One of the four key outcomes for children and young people working with a SHiFT Guide is that they are safe and stable, and to achieve this we reach children and young people and stay with them wherever they are and wherever they go. We are not constrained by artificial or statutory barriers such as age limits, service thresholds or Host Organisation borders. This #nationalcareleaversweek We support Become's campaign to #endthecarecliff and the expectation of ‘independence’ asked of young people as they approach 18. "Young care leavers that Become supports have described that time as a “cliff edge” or “like being on death row, counting down the days” until their 18th?birthday when their placements are abruptly stopped, and they are expected to become ‘independent’ overnight – often without the support that every young person needs to thrive." Become is the national charity for care-experienced children and young people. Read the report in full here: https://lnkd.in/eTekUKK8
