You Can Sit With Us - Home Ed Community

22/04/2026

Hello! We're still here! 👋🏼

We've not had WiFi for about 4 weeks since we moved, and so keeping up with our socials through our phone data has been...interesting to say the least!

We've got some really exciting stuff coming up, including our first meeting at Cantina in Goodrington on the 5th May.

I've also totally forgotten to let you know of our Exeter meet up too! It's all planned...and no one knows about it 🫣
I'll be posting out all the details shortly.

Anyway, drop us a wave in the comments 🩷
We've certainly missed seeing everyone at our Eli House sessions and can't wait to see some familiar faces at our new venues.

We’re so excited to share this one…

From Tuesday 5th May, we’ll be teaming up with to host the first (of many!) monthly home ed coffee social mornings ☕✨

We know that yes, technically, anyone could organise a coffee meet up…but sometimes it’s just really bloody nice when someone else does it for you.

And in true YCSWU style:

🔸No cliques
🔸No pressure
🔸No judgement

Just a warm, welcoming space where home ed families can come together, have a drink, let the children play, and hopefully meet some like-minded people along the way.

🗓️ Tuesday 5th May
⏰ 10am - 12pm
📍
💰 Free

You can ALWAYS sit with us ✌🏼

What a gorgeous end to our time at the incredible .

It was a quiet group, and we were unexpectedly joined by Rose who is a dispatcher for the ambulance service who had a cuppa with us. She was home educated growing up too, and we can't wait to welcome her back to another session where she can give us a great insight into how the ambulance service works (with a unique perspective being home educated herself and working her way up in the NHS).

We all chatted whilst the children played together. A 5 year old and a 9 year old quietly playing with lego - two ages who would never really meet in mainstream school, and yet have found a mutual interest together.

Thank you to everyone who came to our sessions at Eli House.

We'll see you soon! 🧡

It’s time for one last cuppa at ☕💛

This space has been the home of so many lovely mornings — coffee, conversations, children playing, and families finding their feet in the home ed world.

We’ve loved every single one.

But as You Can Sit With Us continues to grow, we’re making a small change…

We’re stepping away from hired venues and moving towards more relaxed, lounge-style meet-ups across the Bay and Exeter.

We're in talks with some fantastic places and we can't wait to share with you all our plans 💃🏼

Monday 23rd March will be our final Eli House coffee morning.

If you’ve been meaning to come along, this is the one 💛

📆 Monday 23rd March

⏰ 10:30 – 12:30

📍 Eli House, Exeter

Let’s give it the send-off it deserves.

Gorgeous little morning exploring Exeter to find our new venue.

Spoiler alert - we found it, and it's perfect! 🫶🏼

Pencil us in - the second Wednesday in May 🧡

Running sessions at Eli House has been really special — but it also comes with a lot behind the scenes.

Hiring the space, planning, bookings, logistics… and sometimes not knowing who (or how many!) will walk through the door.

We've been running these sessions for 6 months, and realised something important. We could literally be anywhere, as long as we bring good energy & welcoming vibes.

So instead of putting energy into running structured sessions, we’re choosing to focus on what Adam and I do best…

Bringing people together.

Moving forward, You Can Sit With Us will be:

☕ relaxed café meet-ups
💬 easy, no-pressure connection, socialisation and friendship building in a safe space

Same community — just a simpler way of doing it.

We've found our first venue...in Paignton! 🌊

And we're viewing a space in Exeter too ⛪

Obviously we'll be testing the coffee first to make sure it's right for you guys! ✌🏼

Easter Holiday Forest School Sessions!

Hi folks! I'll be running forest school sessions during the Easter holidays on the 8th, 9th, 10th and 15th, 16th and 17th of April from 9-3pm at my site on Cofton Hill, near the Dawlish Countryside park. Sessions are for children aged 5 and upwards and cost £32 per child.

For the first time, I've also been able to secure some sponsorship from local businesses. so I'm happy to announce that I can also offer 5 FREE spaces. Priority will be given to those children who have not been to my forest school before and are allocated on a first come, first served basis. You just need to be able to transport your child there and back and pack a lunch.
