Another busy day at The Power of Resilience CIC HQ! We've been busy painting the new community kitchen extension! It now matches the rest of the kitchen with a lovely sleek grey finish!

We're even collecting the rainwater from our new extension in a water barrel to use on our garden as we continue to grow herbs for our cooking!

All ready for our Community Kitchen Open Event tomorrow between 3pm-5pm.

Come and bob in and take a look at our improvements and share some food with us tomorrow afternoon!

🌿 A Mother’s Day Message From The Power of Resilience CIC

Today holds joy for some and quiet ache for others, so from my heart as a mum, I want to honour every story held in this day.

To the mums doing their best with full hands and full hearts.

To the women who longed for children, those who tried, those who grieved, and those who could never conceive.

To the women who chose a different path and live full, meaningful lives.

To those who have lost children — your love and your courage are felt deeply.

To single women who nurture communities in a hundred unseen ways.

And to the men who find today hard as they remember mums no longer here.

You are all part of the fabric of our community.

You are seen. You are valued. You are held with tenderness today.

Love to you where you are, exactly as you are with the love of a mother to my community. Consider yourself hugged today.

Day out in Whaley Bridge visiting Whaley Bridge Canal CIC and their Artisan and Craft market! Nev Clarke from Whaley Bridge Community is on the School for Social Entrepreneurs Trading Up Programme with Julie Mallinson.

This organisation runs a food bank, a bookshop, a cafe, a men in sheds group, a monthly Artisan Crafts and food market and various other community activities.

It was great to see their Artisan Crafts and food market in action and see their bookshop and cafe.

Farm to Table: Our New Collaboration with Hobson Moor Farm

Our Farm to Table partnership with Hobson Moor Farm offers individuals of all ages a unique chance to experience life on a working farm in a calm, supportive, and hands‑on way. This project blends wellbeing, education, and community connection, giving participants the opportunity to get close to a wide range of animals, learn how they are cared for, and explore how food travels from farm to table.

Participants will be able to feed and look after baby animals and other farm animals, learn about their daily routines, and discover the farming techniques that support their wellbeing. The sessions will also explore the life cycles of different animals and introduce how they fit into the wider food chain, delivered in an honest, age‑appropriate, and sensitive way.

To ensure the experience is accessible to everyone, each session is designed with neurodiverse‑friendly support at its core. This includes:
- Small‑group, low‑pressure environments to reduce overwhelm
- Clear routines and predictable structures to help participants feel safe and confident
- Sensory‑aware approaches, with quiet spaces and gentle pacing
- Hands‑on, practical learning that supports different learning styles
- Warm, strengths‑based facilitation to help every individual engage at their own pace

Over the winter months, food grown and produced at Hobson Moor Farm will be used in our community kitchen, bringing the learning full circle and helping us create nourishing meals together.

This collaboration celebrates inclusion, resilience, and real‑world learning—offering a meaningful farm experience that supports wellbeing and strengthens our community.
