You will probably see a lot of New Year, New Me style posts tonight. This isn't one of them.
In July 2024, the middle of the year, I took a leap of faith and launched Connectiverse. Taking a new direction after 13 years of education consultancy, with fire and passion to make a difference, we are delighted with how far we've come. It just goes to show, you don't need the new year to make a change!

The last six months have been incredible. Our partnerships and collborations have grown, and the support we've received has made all of the hard work worthwhile. Bringing together lived experiences, forward thinking organisations and businesses, fostering change and growth has been a true privilege, and we can't wait to see where 2025 will take us.

Thank you for all of your support and wish you all a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year! 🎉🎉

In the build up to Christmas it can feel like chaos reigns as we charge through the endless to-do lists. Juggling the extra demands of work, family, social times, and Christmas, it's easy to loose sight and feel overwhelmed.
In this article we talk about the power of No and the thief of joy.

However you are preparing for your festive time, remember to take time out and enjoy the holiday at your pace.

Do you have a child with SEND, additional needs? Are you a young person and wish to give your view? Are you a professional working in and around SEND?

Please take a few minutes to complete the feedback form regarding your experience of SEND in your area.

We all wish for services and support to develop and improve, this can't happen unless we all share our thoughts, feedback on what works and what doesn't.

Many say 'we need more funding' and yes we do, however, it has to be shown why and where it is needed and your voice is an important part of that process.

This week marks Anti-Bullying week.

You may have had activities or sessions in schools, wearing odd socks and raising awareness around bullying. It's important to continuously highlight this for children and young people, though it is just as important to remember that bullying happens at any age, place and time.

Bullying in the workplace is just as real and can be as damaging as with young people.
The Anti-Bullying Alliance calls on adults to set an example for young people with this year's theme

Last friday we held Connectiverse LIVE, a half day Conference & Networking event.

We shared a wonderful morning in a room filled with great people representing a wide range of services, education settings, organisations and businesses. We thank our speakers and panelists for topical content. The energy in the room embodied Connectiverse's mission of Empowering Through Understanding.

We’d like to thank everyone for attending Connectiverse LIVE on Friday.

Thank you again to our sponsors for their support. Without the support of our sponsors, collaborators and Partners, Connectiverse LIVE wouldn’t have been possible.

We have been overwhelmed with the positive feedback which we have received and we look forward to our next event!

We've got the Friday feeling at Fleetwood Youth Hub today! We can't shout about the vast and various work going on at the hub enough! An afternoon with local businesses and services holding a Job Fair for local young residents looking to find work, apprenticeships and career advice. Lots of young people attended and left with next steps, including Job offers. Fantastic afternoon by Courtney and her team and we can't wait to share more with you about the invaluable work they do. Celebrating a fantastic afternoon and trip out by the younger Youth Group, led by Joe, Hayley, and Jamie, of Fleetwood Town Community Trust the two staff teams came together and had fun. Again the work that is going on at the youth hub is current and accessible, the atmosphere screams relaxed comfort, safe, and respectful. Young people are engaged and happy. We definitely enjoyed the Fri-Yay feeling today!
