Facilitator Friday 🫶🏼💖 our lovely Ami.

✨ Facilitator Friday ✨

Today we are introducing Ami, one of our facilitators at our Woking Grow and Glow group. Ami brings kindness, care, and a genuine desire to support others, and we are so happy to have her as part of the team. 🫶🏻

Here is what she shared about her experience.

Hi, my name is Ami.

I joined Grow and Glow because I wanted something just for me. I have tried counselling before and it did not work out for me, so I was looking for something different. I have been through some difficult situations and realised I had never fully addressed them.

I love Grow and Glow because it is a welcoming place with women who do not judge. I feel comfortable sharing and being myself, which has meant so much to me.

I have always loved helping people and supporting others. Becoming a facilitator with Grow and Glow feels incredibly fulfilling and I am excited to help hold a space where other women feel supported and heard.

📣ANNOUNCEMENT 📣
✨ Grow and Glow is coming to the North ✨

This feels huge for our community. Every Grow and Glow group so far has been in Surrey and today I am so proud to share that we are opening our first northern group in Wilmslow in Cheshire.

Our Wilmslow group will launch on Tuesday 7 January at Wilmslow Fire Station and I cannot wait to welcome the women of the North West into our circle.

A big thank you to Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service for allowing us to use their community room. Your support means so much and helps us create a space that feels welcoming and supportive for every woman who walks through the door.

Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey. Your support has helped Grow and Glow reach even more women and I am so excited for this next chapter.

Wilmslow, we are so excited to meet you

Wednesday was a truly special moment for Grow and Glow 🫶🏻
Charley was nominated for the Unsung Category Award and she only went and won it. There were two other incredible finalists in the category both doing amazing things in the community and it was inspiring to stand alongside them.

Charley’s vision began with one small group in Epsom and thanks to the amazing facilitators pictured here that vision has grown across four groups in Surrey and is still growing.

Each facilitator brings something unique to the community. Their care their consistency and their commitment to creating a supportive space for women is the reason Grow and Glow continues to thrive. Most of the team were able to join the celebration on Wednesday and it was a joy to share such an uplifting moment together. A couple could not be there yet they were absolutely in everyone’s thoughts.

And to the amazing women who show up each week and place their trust in what has been created you are the heart of Grow and Glow. Your courage your honesty and your willingness to come together are what make this community what it is.

Here is to the women who make Grow and Glow what it is and to the many experiences still to come.

✨ Facilitator Friday ✨

Today we are introducing our lovely Izzy, one of our Guildford facilitators. Izzy brings so much strength, compassion, and understanding to our team, shaped by her own powerful experiences. She reached out because she wanted to help create the kind of support she needed during her own hardest moments, and we are so grateful to have her with us. 🫶🏻

Here is what she shared about her journey.

Hi, I am Izzy and I am a facilitator for Grow and Glow.

I struggled with my mental health from a really young age and hit rock bottom in 2022 when Anorexia took over and I nearly lost my life. I spent the next year and a half in hospital and daycare, slowly trying to rebuild. Recovery has not been easy or straightforward, but I have come a long way and I am now training to become a therapist which is something I never thought I would be able to say.

I know how it feels to be in such a dark place that giving up seems like the only option. I know what it is like to feel completely alone, like no one understands. But having come through that, I also know that things can get better.

There are still difficult days, but there is so much I get to experience now that I never thought I would again. I am currently working through my bucket list, because younger me never thought she would make it to 24 and that makes me feel really proud. 🫶🏻

I reached out to Charley because I wanted to be part of something that offered the support I wish I had during my hardest times, something that did not need a referral or involve long waiting lists. I feel grateful to now be supporting other women through their own experiences while continuing to grow myself.

The stars in Surrey awards was an amazing night 🥰 I was privileged to be invited to celebrate the most wonderful people and all they do. But our star, and our Charley Moore was up for unsung hero award and won it. ⭐️
I didn’t doubt it for a second as Grow and Glow is such an amazing space and it’s because of Charley. if it wasn’t for her there’d be no Grow and Glow and all that attend wouldn’t somewhere to go and just be and offload.
Well done, Charley We are all so very proud of you and so privileged to be part of something such as grow and glow. 💖🫶🏼
