What's happening with Heart-Shaped Decisions in 2025 - and how you can help us!

We have great things planned for 2025, after the success of our 'launch' event last November, we are talking to several companies about working with them to help young people build better futures.

I am also delighted to be doing some more work with the men at HMP Stoke Heath in the next few weeks, working with my friend Lisa M Billingham helping to develop writing and speaking skills to enable the guys to get jobs when they are released.

I have also finally got my second book up on Amazon - it takes you through my life from the 1980s until the mid 90s - and I have set myself the goal of completing my third book in 2025. All funds raised through book sales will go to support our work at Heart-Shaped Decisions CIC and you can order a copy of the book here: https://amzn.eu/d/aecASHr

We have also recently signed up with Easyfundraising. You can support Heart-Shaped Decisions CIC every time you shop online, and it will cost you nothing. You can sign up here:https://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/heart-shaped-decisions-cic

Finally, I am still walking 70,000 steps every week to maintain my physical and mental health on an even keel. In common with many people, I struggle with the cold, dark month of January, and getting outdoors for a couple of hours most days keeps me on the right track - I guess it's a Heart-Shaped Decision. You can donate to support my walking exploits here: https://gofund.me/346dbc4d

To finish off with, what is one Heart-Shaped Decision you can make today that will benefit your life or someone else's immediately?

It could be something as simple as showing appreciation for a colleague, a partner or family member.

There will be another Heart-Shaped Decisions newsletter soon!
