Where did we start
This is a question I think about all the time. I have reflected many times and I always wonder if my negative childhood experiences had not occurred would I be who I am and would I do what I do. I have now realised that I have a nature and a heart that is happiest when I am supporting people.
I was made redundant from my job in Newcastle, and I joined many groups in Sunderland were I lived. I shortly realised that I wasn’t happy and I was only happy when supporting people, my passion was people, but the need was so big.
Social and Health inequalities were really prevalent with the families and children I was volunteering with, and then the idea was born. However, my babies were little and I wondered how would I do this with no money in my pocket.
Most people start social businesses based on personal experiences, but were would I start? I had my my first black eye at the age of 2, I suffered extreme bullying, parental domestic violence, personal abuse including s*xual and psychological abuse, eating disorders, su***de attempts, being homeless at times, self -harming, depression, postnatal-depression, learning disabilities (list not complete), .
