We're an art gallery 🎨

Well just for the weekend 🗓️

All the artwork was produced by our pal Stephen Yardleys very talented mum and this is his tribute weekend to her.

All the art is for sale and all proceeds are supporting ourselves and Pendleside Hospice 🙏

ONE Slater Terrace looks amazing so why not come down, have a look and treat yourself.

Local scenes, bums and b***s was how it was described earlier so there really is something for everyone 👀

The ONE Gallery /// is open

Friday 3.30 till 8.00 and Saturday 10:00 till 2:00

We've even got a Moorhouse's Brewery beer to on tap to mark the occasion 🍻

The perfect plan for Christmas pressies with a difference 🎁

Community is the new black 🟠⚫

COMMUNITY certainly feels like the new buzz word 🤔

Which I'm more than ok with.

I think community might be my THING ♥️

I've spent the last few years...

1. Trying my hardest to build one.
2. Hanging about in some great ones.
3. Helping people shape some new ones.

Often people see community as BIG and LOUD.

For me it's all about SPACE 🚀

Loud or quiet. Big or small.

A space where you feel comfortable - with people you feel comfortable with 😍

Community comes in all shapes and sizes.

And my little tip...they aren't all for you 😲

So to all the people building community - I salute you 🙏

To all those enjoying one - well played.

To those searching - let's have a natter I know some belters ✅

What makes a great community?

Mine's

On't Turf this afternoon 🟣🔵

We've always said we wanted to be on the terraces every weekend.

That's where people are - so that's where we need to be.

Conversations about mental health can sit happily alongside a bene and hot before the game or a pie at half time.

If we talk about this stuff when we are ok, I am convinced it will be more comfortable if the challenges come in.

Grab a *other hot beverages are available and ask your mate how they are doing.

Thank you for starting the conversation. It is greatly appreciated.

Saving the 🌎
Starting in Burnley.

This feels extra special this week ❤️

ALWAYS the why.
ALWAYS a listening ear.
ALWAYS a conversation.

We did a THING!

To be honest it's taken a little time to unpack the opening of our new space.

Nº1 Slater Terrace /// has pushed and pulled in many directions 🎢

And I wasn't really sure how to express what it means to us or our thanks.

Then we got the photos ❤️

We could tell you about podcasting, co-working, a meeting space or a bar.

ALL of which are mint btw 👍

But that isn't what it's about.

It's not what we are about.

Nº1 Slater Terrace /// is ALL about people 👌

The people who showed up and laughed and smiled and talked together 💬

The people who helped build it (it really has been Powered By Mates) 🔨

The people who checked in and gave cuddles on the way 🥰

We'll talk more about the space over the next few weeks and how you can use it but for now all we want to say is come and see it because it's ACE!

And THANK YOU!

If you've ever fancied getting involved with our training sessions now's your chance.

The amazing Splash at The Hub are donating two places for the next set of sessions that start in May.

Want to know more about mental health, how to start those tricky conversations and how best to support, friends, family and colleagues then look no further.

Follow the instructions in the post and we will see you next month.

Did you know that the last set of confirmed statistics showed that 19 people a day lose their life to su***de in the UK alone? This is a statistic that has touched Splash and the wider hub family over recent times. Su***de is one of, if not the most preventable cause of death in the UK, and this is a statistic that we would like to help to change.

In 2023, a number of hub colleagues took part in a 6-part workshop with 6-Connections around empowering us to have meaningful conversations with friends, family, colleagues and even strangers around mental health, well being and su***de. Not only this but recognising our own mental well-being and our ability to cope with difficult conversations.
These workshops were not only empowering, but extremely thought provoking and inspirational.

In Partnership with Six Connections , Splash is delighted to be able to offer 2 free places on this invaluable workshop. The sessions take place once a month from May through to November on the dates below.

Dates – 21st May, 18th Jun, 16th Jul, 17th Sep, 15th Oct and 19th Nov
In order to claim one of these free spaces, here’s what you need to do:
• Make sure you follow us Splash at The Hub and Six Connections
• Share this post
• Be available to attend the above sessions

In the event of more entries than spaces we will draw 2 names at random. We will make this draw on Friday 11th April at 12noon. and contact the successful entrants that afternoon.
