| Meet 3 year old Nova. After a tough few days in hospital with her blood sugars dropping too low, this little superstar is heading home in time to spend Christmas Day with her family! 🎄

Mum Nicola said “Whilst Nova was here she loved meeting the LFC women’s squad AND she won a star award for helping the play team tidy the play room for all the other children. The staff have been amazing with her.” 💙

Nova is now counting down the minutes until Father Christmas arrives and has asked for a basketball hoop and a piano! Have a magical Christmas Nova ✨

We’re Looking for a SENCo to Join Our Governance Advisory Team 🌿

At AJ & Friends, we’re proud to provide a trauma-informed, nurturing environment where children and young people with complex needs can grow, heal, and thrive through care, education, and community. 💚

As part of our evolving curriculum built on trauma-informed practice and co-regulation, we’re now seeking an experienced SENCo (Special Educational Needs Coordinator) to join our Governance Advisory Team.

This is an advisory role, meeting up to (or a minimum of) four times a year, to help guide and strengthen our SEND approach across education, health, and care.

We’d love to connect with someone who:
✨ Has experience in SEND leadership, inclusion, or curriculum development.
✨ Understands the importance of attachment, regulation, and therapeutic approaches.
✨ Wants to help shape an innovative, person-centred model of education and care on the Wirral.

If this sounds like you — or someone you know — we’d love to hear from you.
Send us a message here or email info@ajandfriends.co.uk to find out more. 💌

Together, we can keep changing lives — one calm, connected moment at a time. 🌈

🎃 Friendship Friday at AJ & Friends 💛
Where connection, calm, and care come together — one Friday at a time.

This Halloween season, while the world celebrates imagination and play, we’re celebrating something just as special — the power of therapeutic connection.

Every Friday, AJ & Friends offers Friendship Friday — a safe, nurturing space for children, young people, and caregivers to receive one-to-one therapeutic support that blends Person-Centred Therapy, CBT, and play-based approaches.

🌿 What’s included:
• 🪂 Rebound Therapy — supporting movement, regulation, and confidence (including for wheelchair users)
• 💬 One-to-one therapeutic sessions — guided by attachment theory, trauma-informed practice, and gentle conversation
• 💞 Caregiver support — helping those who give so much find time and space to feel supported too

Each session is shaped around the individual — their story, their pace, and their needs.
Because every person deserves to feel seen, supported, and safe.

🕯️ Friendship Friday at AJ & Friends, Wirral (Hoylake site) sanctuary

Maintaining a peaceful and inclusive environment for all individuals and families we support, we really are “the face of change”.
