This week is the start of National Storytelling Week, a time to celebrate the power of sharing stories. Storytelling is a powerful magical tool which helps children discover the world, creativity and connection. Reading stories to children can allow a child to step into a character's shoes and develop empathy as well as support their language skills.

At our Hartcliffe peer support group, we have a little reading area where children can explore different books with and without their adults.

Recently we received a £5,000 donation from ShareGift, facilitated by JTC Group

We are so grateful for this investment in our community - Thankyou!

ShareGift collect small lots of shares and donate the funds created to
charities. Often unwanted because they are too small to sell, these shares
can be transferred to ShareGift at no cost to the shareholder, aggregated
and sold to benefit different registered charities. ShareGift can also accept larger donations of shares.

If you have shares that, for whatever reason, you no longer want, you can help support Mothers for Mothers by donating them to ShareGift and mentioning us by name.

Navigation and Nurture is a monthly group for parents who have a child with a profound disability and/or medical complexities.

The sessions are aimed at parents who are relatively new to this parenting path – typically parents whose child is under the age of 8.

The group offers parents an opportunity to meet other parents on a similar path, to learn about what support is available to them and their children, and to support each other with the emotional impact of parenting a child with a profound disability.

It is a warm, friendly and welcoming group.

There is a small budget to cover transport for those who would not otherwise be able to attend sessions.

Experienced playworkers are in the room so parents can bring their children. A small voluntary donation is asked for this.

This project is being run by Murmuration Community Therapy and supported by Bristol Parent Carers and The Family Hubs.

Calling all SEND families!!

Have you noticed that anyone working in the world of SEND loves an acronym and/or loves reeling out SEND specific jargon as if they are song words to a Taylor Swift song?

YES?

Well, don't worry...

Our SEND Peer Support worker is here to go through the commonly used SEND terms. Each week, she will upload an information sheet on a particular SEND specific term or acronym which you can refer to.

This week, it is the Graduated Approach which is a term used in SEND policies and by SEND professionals when discussing supporting a child.

Recently our SEND Peer Support worker met up with Katy Mitchell and Jennifer Royds to learn more about Glue Ear Together. Katy is a Teacher of the deaf as well as an Education Advisor for the Ewing Foundation and Jennifer is parent of a child who has glue ear.

Did you know that up to 4 in 5 children (80%) experience glue ear before starting school, most often between 6 months and 4 years old?

Glue Ear Together's aim is to work together with families, education and health, to provide clear, up-to-date information that promotes positive outcomes for children with glue ear.

The website is full of lots of information and helpful advice to support families.

Last week we loved having the opportunity to host a creative print workshop at the Arnolfini to reflect and respond to the work in Emma Talbot’s ‘Everything is Energy’.

We created individual prints, to reflect individual experiences of parenthood. The importance of having people you can share and connect with over similar experiences is key to what we do at Mothers for Mothers, so we added these individual prints to a collaborative piece to create our ‘Fabric of Motherhood’.

Thank you to all who attended for your openness to share such powerful images and words through your prints 🎨

Thank you also to our friends at Lounge for offering everyone who attended a free hot drink 🙌
