Set an intention and the universe will provide 💫💕.

So the Hub has been unsuccessful this year with funding from the government mental health and wellbeing fund which means we can no longer offer 1:1 blocks of treatment sessions via GP/ NHS referral in 2026 .

We have been incredibly lucky to have received funding the last 4 years ( one of the very few ) .

We appreciate how frustrating that is for all the clients on the waiting list for 2026 and the fact we are getting constant new referrals in .

The universe will provide 💕💫.

We start second guessing ourselves , do the governing bodies not realise how important this work is , do they not like we are only a 25/: commitment to community side work , have we done something wrong ?

The answer is simple , there are way too many charities and CIC’s all applying for the same funding .

So many of our regulars are asking , what can we do help , can we fundraiser, lobby , support ?

Again yes you can do all those things , we regularly hold events as specific Community Wellbeing Hub CIC fundraisers . So if you want to do a sponsored event or suchlike we will be alongside you .

Reviews are massively important , so many of you have had treatment blocks but whether down to stigma , not wanting to post online that you have a chronic condition or mental health condition , don’t ever leave a review on the Hub page . We get it , we took referrals from social work , addiction services , mental health services and many more . If you have received treatment blocks or used many of our services from teenage mental health support , workshops , 1;1 referral blocks , family sessions , wellbeing festivals , group work etc , could you take 2 mins to pop a review on ???

We are looking at alternative funders , gauging the market and seeing how we progress forward . At the end of the day we know the universe wil support our work so we manifest .

The idea of the Hub was born out of many years of personal experience . Knowing there is a lack of support for families and individuals in crisis , suicidal thought affect the whole family , ASN needs alter a family dynamic . Families and individuals need support . Carers need extra support to look after themselves . The list goes on !!! .

There’s a strange moment many SEND parents eventually encounter.

At the beginning, you are the “lovely parent.”

You thank teachers.
You trust the system.
You assume if you explain things clearly enough, someone will help your child.

You believe everyone is trying their best.

And then… something happens.

Maybe your child starts falling further behind.
Maybe the support that was promised never quite materialises.
Maybe you begin reading the law and realising what should be happening.

So you ask more questions.

You send another email.

You ask for a meeting.

You ask for evidence.

You ask why the provision written down doesn’t match what your child is actually receiving.

And slowly, almost imperceptibly, something shifts.

You are no longer the “lovely parent.”

You become the “difficult parent.”

The one who asks too many questions.
The one who “doesn’t trust professionals.”
The one who is “always pushing.”

But here’s the uncomfortable truth.

Most SEND parents don’t start out difficult.

They become difficult when the system stops listening.

Research into parental advocacy in special education repeatedly shows the same pattern: parents escalate their involvement when support fails or communication breaks down. What looks like confrontation is often simply persistence born out of necessity.

Because when the system struggles, there is only one person left whose job it is to keep going.

The parent.

So if you meet a SEND parent who seems “difficult”, there’s a good chance you are simply meeting someone who has learned — the hard way — that politeness alone does not secure support for their child.

Sometimes persistence is the only language the system understands.

And none of us wanted to become fluent in it.
