Ask for Jake is over the moon to announce that we will be holding another fully funded Christmas Day lunch this year, open to our local community.

We are now looking for people to invite to the lunch. We intend to find people within the Braunton community who will be alone for Christmas, lack family support, or may struggle mentally or financially over the festive period.

As you can imagine, we can’t guarantee a place for everyone but we have the capacity for 45 to 50 people. Young or old, families or on their own, if you would like to come or nominate someone else, please contact Linzi on 07715927721 by the 25th of November, and we will be in touch.

Thank you and please share! 💜

What counselling is all about?.....

A safe space to talk: You can discuss a wide range of problems, emotions, and life events with a trained and impartial professional.
Focus on self-discovery: Instead of giving direct advice, the counsellor helps you explore your own situation and feelings to develop your own understanding and solutions.
Confidentiality: The sessions are private, creating a secure environment for you to be open about your concerns.
Building skills and self-esteem: Counselling can help you build coping mechanisms and develop the skills to manage problems on your own.

Happy World Kindness Day! 🌍🩷

Let’s celebrate by doing one kind act for others; send a message to someone who would appreciate to hear from you, donate to a food bank, see how many compliments you can give today, congratulate someone for an achievement that may go unnoticed or volunteer for a cause you believe in.

There is a strong link between kindness and happiness.

Doing things for others boost our own wellbeing by creating a sense of wellbeing and purpose.

Focusing on kindness can give us perspective on what really matters and help us feel grounded and connected, even in challenging times.

Kindness connects us with others, so it strengthens our social connections and relationships.

Kindness can change our world - it sends positive social ripples as when people receive kindness they are then more likely to pass kindness on to others.

We need kindness right now more than ever.

Let’s send ripples of kindness around the world for World Kindness Day!

Such a powerful message with today's A level results and next week's GCSE results due.
Such pressure to achieve results on our young people.
It all works out in the end....
