The Sirona Speech and Language Team project gets the go ahead

The Sirona Speech and Language Team project gets the go ahead from the Sirona Foundation. The grant award will enable the Team to organise events and support young people who stammer and their families, across BNSSG.  The event kicked off in July with the ‘Saturday Social’ and it was a great success.  Those who attended were offered a friendly, relaxed, face-to-face experience, which will help build confidence in the young people.  Families who attended showed their appreciation and said it was a very beneficial way to bring together parents and children who are struggling.

The Sirona Foundation funding will be transformational for Hillfields Community Garden. As we support the delivery of our regular monthly and weekly groups, recognising the huge contribution of our core volunteers. So far this year we have run 21 groups and events and had nearly 600 visitors. Support from the Foundation means grass roots organisations like ours can thrive in areas that really need support in developing nature and community connections.

Great for children to meet new friends who understand how they feel. Really good space for children to meet and play and be themselves. Lovely how you introduce parents and children who are struggling. We would love to do it again, it builds great confidence.

The grant from the Sirona Foundation means that The Grace Period Project can reliably supply ‘Grace bags’ containing free period products to over 60 people across North Somerset every month. With the support from the Sirona Foundation, we plan to expand our support across North Somerset to raise awareness about period poverty and reduce the stigma around periods.

The group was relaxed and informative. It was great to have both English and Bangladeshi spoken, and really helpful to hear others experience, we are now more aware of the symptoms of a stroke.
