Thankyou for the donations👏👏👏

I was in and out all day so I missed whoever left us these donations. The blankets were a lovely addition and will help us keep our teens toastie. Thankyou ⭐️⭐️⭐️

🎥 Lights. Camera. Action. 🎥

A little sneak peek at behind the scenes footage of our recent filming project for our Youth Su***de Prevention Programme. We’re so excited to finally share what we’ve been working on!

A huge part of updating this programme is the incredible actors who are involved in telling the story.

Thank you to Jane, Jasmine, Denzel and Noah. And of course our brilliant videographer, Michael.💫

Through real, relatable scenarios, they help young people recognise the signs, understand what someone may be experiencing, challenge the stigma around su***de and, most importantly, understand how they can connect and respond when someone is struggling.

We’re incredibly excited to reveal our new and updated programme very soon.

Our su***de prevention training programmes are available for:

🏫 Schools, Colleges & Universities
🤝 Organisations & Workplaces
👥 Community Groups
🙏 Faith-based Organisations
⚽️ Sporting Clubs
🌱 Adults and Professionals

We offer:

✨ 1-hour Su***de Awareness Talks — an accessible introduction to su***de awareness, signs, stigma and how we can support someone who may be struggling.

✨ 3.5-hour Level 3 Su***de Prevention Training — a more in-depth programme designed to build knowledge, confidence and practical skills in supporting someone experiencing emotional distress or thoughts of su***de.

💡 Funding is available for organisations within the Northern Trust area of Northern Ireland.

If you’d like to bring this important conversation to your school, organisation, youth group or community, please get in touch with [email protected]

Because su***de prevention isn’t just about knowing what to say. It’s about creating communities where people feel seen, heard, connected and safe enough to speak.🫶

P.S. Michelle thoroughly enjoyed her new role as Film Director!😆

🧡 Planning for our Teen Resilience Camp - Can you help us build a spare kit for Thrive Forward?

Anyone who works with teenagers knows how it goes, something gets forgotten, soaked, covered in mud or suddenly needs changed. 😅

We’d love to build up a small supply of spare sportswear at the outdoor pursuits centre so that nobody has to miss out because they haven’t got what they need.

We’re looking for good-quality second-hand:
👕 Sports tops / T-shirts
🩳 Shorts or jogging bottoms
🧦 Sports socks
👟 Trainers
🏃 Lightweight sportswear
🏊 Quick-drying towels
Nothing needs to be new, matching or fancy - clean, wearable and useful is absolutely perfect.
If you have a few things at home that your teenagers have grown out of or simply don’t use anymore, we’d be so grateful to give them another life with the young people taking part in Thrive Forward.
Even one or two items would help. 🧡
Please donate by dropping off to Unit 5 The HeartSpace Antrim Enterprise Park 58 Greystone Road, Antrim BT41 4SP
Thank you for helping us make sure every young person can join in. 🧡✨

Anyone clearing out cushions... 💜 Cushions wanted!

Drop to the HeartSpace Unit 5 Antrim Enterprise Park 58-Greystone Road Antrim BT41 4SP. We need 54 cushions in total. Nothing too precious.

We’re looking for square cushions and cushion covers to help create comfortable spaces for young people taking part in our programmes at the outdoor pursuits centre.
They’ll be used for sitting, relaxing and lounging during sessions and downtime.
We’re happy to accept:
• Square cushions/cushion pads
• Cushion covers
• Any colour or pattern
• New or good, clean second-hand items
• Mismatched cushions are absolutely fine!

If you have cushions or covers sitting unused at home, we’d be really grateful if you could donate them rather than letting them gather dust.

Please message me if you have anything you’d like to donate. 💜
Thank you!

Never to old for somethings in life🍦

When Lottie’s lollies ice cream van turns up at work, apparently productivity has to stop immediately. 🍦😂

There was absolutely no sensible reason for ice cream… which, naturally, meant we all got one.

A little sunshine, a lot of sprinkles and five grown adults suddenly behaving like children in a playground. On day two eight grown adults wondering would they be spoiled twice - and sure why not! They work hard, the do good work for a great purpose and a little treat was much deserved.

Some team-building exercises are considerably better than others. 💜🍦
