This week, Ashley is spending three days at a business retreat in Arrochar with a small group of business owners.

Not to escape the work but to work on it properly.

Stepping away from your normal environment creates space to think clearly. It removes the day-to-day noise, the constant notifications, and the pressure to react instead of reflect. It gives you time to plan with intention, focus on meaningful work and look at your business from a wider perspective.

So often, growth does not come from doing more. It comes from slowing down enough to ask better questions and make clearer decisions.

Sometimes, the most productive thing you can do for your business is to change your surroundings and give yourself permission to think.

Trauma doesn’t just live in the mind – it settles into the body. Tight shoulders. A clenched jaw. Knotted stomach. Sound familiar?
Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) is a simple but powerful technique that helps release that tension. It helps trauma survivors feel calmer, more grounded, and ready to rest – even when the day has been tough.

Swipe through for a step-by-step guide you can try tonight. Whether you're holding stress, trauma, or just a long week – let’s learn to let go.

Huge thank you to Suzanne Ulph from The Curious Wolf for her incredible support. 💜

Suzanne hosts the Flourish & Flow Book Writing Retreats in Glasgow – monthly spaces for writers to disconnect, focus, and bring their stories to life.

We’re honoured to share that for every retreat ticket sold, £10 will be donated to Thriving Survivors.

This generosity directly supports our mission to amplify lived experience and create spaces for healing, connection, and change.

Could we be your Charity of the Year?

Choosing a Charity of the Year is more than a tick-box exercise. It’s a chance to make a meaningful difference, build purpose into your organisation, and support work that creates real, lasting impact.

At Thriving Survivors, we support people affected by trauma through survivor-led services, mentoring, training, and advocacy. Partnerships with businesses and organisations help us reach more people, reduce waiting lists, and continue developing specialist support that is often unavailable elsewhere.

Becoming our Charity of the Year could include
→ Fundraising activities that engage your team
→ Awareness and education around trauma and recovery
→ Volunteering or skills-based support
→ A partnership rooted in shared values and social impact

If your organisation is planning its charitable focus for the year ahead, we would love to have a conversation.

Supporting Thriving Survivors means standing with survivors, amplifying lived experience, and helping create safer, more informed communities.

If you’d like to explore this further, get in touch.

Our strategic vision for 2025–2026 is focused on one objective. Transforming how survivors access support.

From reducing waiting times and expanding programmes, to embedding accredited learning and leading national advocacy, Thriving Survivors is growing in ways that reflect both the scale of need and the ambition of our organisation.

This next chapter includes investment in digital transformation, a commitment to building a skilled practitioner network, and a determination to influence change at policy level.

The message is clear. Survivors deserve timely, trauma informed, high-quality support, and we are building the infrastructure to deliver exactly that.

If you would like to stand with us as we move into this next phase, we invite you to connect.

Digital transformation is one of the most significant areas of growth for Thriving Survivors. The right technology allows us to reach further, respond faster and deliver support at scale.

We are investing in enhancing our CRM system to support real time monitoring and evaluation, developing an online learning platform for future training, and expanding remote support options to ensure survivors in rural and international communities can access help.

Digital tools won’t replace human connection, but they will strengthen it. They allow us to reach those who might never otherwise find a service like ours.

If you’d like to learn more about our digital plans or support this evolution, we’d welcome a conversation.

Happy New Year from all of us at Thriving Survivors.

As we step into a new year, we carry forward the strength, courage and resilience shown by every survivor we supported in 2025. Your stories continue to shape our work and inspire everything we do.

We look ahead to 2026 with ambition, purpose and a commitment to expanding support, reducing waiting times and strengthening trauma informed practice across Scotland and beyond.

Thank you for being part of our journey.

Advocacy remains a core part of our mission, and in 2025–2026 we will amplify our voice even further.

Thriving Survivors will continue to lead national conversations on sibling sexual abuse, place lived experience at the centre of policy development, and champion campaigns that promote equity, dignity and systemic change.

Our goal is not only to support individuals but to influence the systems around them. When we challenge stigma and raise visibility, we create safer outcomes for current and future survivors.

If your organisation is aligned with this work, we welcome collaboration.

Accredited learning is fast becoming one of the most transformative areas of our work.

Following the success of our SQA Customised Award pilot, we are preparing to launch the first full cohort of Pathway Practitioner training. This marks a major step forward in building a national and international model for trauma informed education.

Our next phase includes developing a practitioner membership scheme, complete with CPD resources, professional development pathways and a community of practice.

By embedding accredited learning into our strategic vision, we aim to strengthen the sector, raise standards and position Thriving Survivors as a leader in trauma informed training.

If you’re interested in training opportunities for your organisation, we would love to speak with you.
