🧠🔥🧐Last Half Term 🧠🔥🧐

Where has the year gone??
How is it the last half term of the year?

We are looking forward to the next half term, the last push before the summer break and next steps.

The Learning SENtre has celebrations planned- we want to recognise the excellent achievements of this year. The prom plans are in full swing, the young people have proven their amazing organisational and event planning skills. Dress to impress, here we come!!

The gift shop will remain open all summer Thurs to Saturdays- sales have excelled in recent months. The young people are extremely proud and working well with our supportive artists.

Plans for September are well underway- we are always on the lookout for exceptional team players who share a passion for supporting young people.

Thank you for your support as always 😎

We’re giving you more! From the 1st of June we’ll now be open every day 3am-11pm, giving you more time to make use of our brand new facilities!

We’ve got more equipment on order, due in any week now. We’ve added more classes the last month. And we’re still looking at how to give you more!

From this, new memberships will be increasing only by an extra £2 for each level and day passes will now be £8. Again, this is for NEW memberships only - all existing will stay the same.

Let us know what more you want us to give!

** Why do we have bank holidays? **

The May bank holidays carry many traditions and celebrate changes such as ‘Workers Rights’. Reducing working days to 8 hour days.

The first May bank holiday was also put in to give farmers a rest day before the summer season.

The team at Overloaded have worked so hard all year but this half term has been particularly busy. Assessments, exams, transitions and great sales in the shop.

They will be having a rest over the half term break. This will give a boost of energy for the last half term of the academic year!

The Gift shop will be open Thurs, Fri and Saturday through next week.

We hope you all have a lovely bank holiday and rest. Thank you for your support.

The Overloaded Team 🥰

** Mental Health Awareness Week**

We wore green today to raise awareness of how important it is to take care of our mental health.

🔥 if you Overload a socket, it will catch fire.

🚚 if you Overload a van, it moves slower.

🫟 if you Overload a cup, it will spill.

🏋️‍♂️ if you Overload weights, you can not lift them.

But…..

🧠 what happens when you Overload you brain?

* your emotions change
* your patience gets shorter
* your nervous system gets rewired
* your thoughts get unclear
* your body hurts
* your movement slows
* your senses change
* your sleep gets disturbed
* your regulation becomes unmaneagable
* your thought process blurred
* your communication broken
* your rational response blocked
* your eating habits affected

The list goes on….

There is a reason our provision is called ‘ Overloaded.’

Many will look after physical health; mental health becomes harder to understand however just as important.

** Level 1 Cycle, maintenance and repair Qualification**

As the young people come to the end of completing their units and qualifications, the cycle unit has been a real success.

Learning how to maintain a bike, ensure it is safe and how to fix a puncture, saddle or brake repairs ensure they have the life skills in the community.

Next stop Driving theory 🚴🏼‍♀️👁️🚗🚙
