'I don't think Tourette's is the problem. The problem is that people don't know enough about Tourette's.'

Yesterday, we turned our care training room into an improvised home cinema to watch the film 'I Swear'🎥 We had a great time getting together as a team and sharing pizza and popcorn. But above all, this was a fantastic opportunity to learn about John Davidson's trailblazing life as a Tourette's advocate.

We were all truly captivated by this beautiful and powerful story. It took us on an emotional journey as we followed John's path, from understanding his condition to fighting for his independence, and ultimately finding his voice to educate others. John has already helped many others navigate Tourette syndrome across the UK, and we are moved to see his story now being shared widely, continuing to contribute to his advocacy in such a meaningful way.🙌

Working together to improve the quality of life of all in our community, regardless of circumstance, is what drives us at SweetTree. We believe in a world where every individual can thrive and live free of barriers, which often exist only because their environment wasn't shaped with their needs in mind. Stories like John’s remind us why that vision matters. 💚

🍃Sweet Stories: Meet Roger and Maira

🍃Maira provides care and companionship for Roger, when his wife, who is often busy, isn’t around. Through compassion and her understanding of his needs, Maira encourages Roger to get out and about, take in some fresh air and engage with his community. “Going for a walk and seeing other people is important.” Maira says.

🍃“I don’t relate to people quite as I should” as Roger puts it. However, with Maira’s support and companionship, Roger has grown to find it easier to break out of his shell.

The new year often awakens the desire for a fresh start. However, dividing your time with someone else’s can make our new year’s resolutions feel unattainable, giving rise to feelings of guilt and fast-tracking demotivation - but not because of a lack of trying.

The truth is that many of these resolutions were not designed with the reality of caregiving mind, so we’ve compiled a list of sustainable, caregiver-friendly new year’s resolution ideas to aid your motivation to grow.

Season's greetings from the SweetTree team🎄

We wish you lots of love and happiness this Christmas and in the year ahead. What better way to share this than with a painting by one of our clients, Bradley Reay. 'Organised Chaos' is the title of this lovely artwork. ✨

Bradley is a London-based artist who discovered art during his hospital stay, after a cyst in his brain left him temporarily unable to walk and talk. He has since found his own unique style and has had his creations displayed at the Barbican and UCLH. Creating art has been a pillar of his rehabilitation and, in his own words, it 'takes me away from the stresses and strains of my life and helps me channel my thoughts into something positive'.

Let us know how you're celebrating in the comments!

🕎Happy Hannukah from SweetTree!

🍃Sunday the 14th, marked the beginning of Hannukah, the eight-day wintertime Jewish Festival of Lights. We celebrated with the Jewish members of our team, who shared latkes, donuts, dreidel games and the story of Hannukah’s origin.

🍃Beginning on the 25th day of the Jewish month of Kislev, Hanukkah is celebrated with special prayers, fried foods and a nightly, nine-candle menorah lighting. Because the Hebrew calendar is based on the lunar cycle, the dates of Jewish holidays according to the Gregorian calendar change yearly. For this reason, the beginning of Hanukkah can range from late November to late December.

🍃At SweetTree we love to celebrate and learn about our team members' traditions and culture - explore our feed and discover the other cultural celebrations we brought to the office this year!
