On 6 March, we’re proud to attend and support our charity partner, Flourish Mentors as they host their first annual fundraiser, A Night to Flourish. Every ticket and donation moves them closer to their £10,000 goal.
Let’s Talk About Mental Health
Did you know that according to NHS 2024 data, more than one in three young women aged 16–24 live with a mental health condition—36.1%—twice the rate of their male peers? Flourish Mentors exists to respond to this urgent and often unmet need.
Our First Charity Partnership
Thank you so much to Adele Bates and your wonderful ABE community and team for welcoming Flourish Mentors as your first Charity Partner!
One Year On
Recently, I celebrated a significant anniversary. On June 5 2024, it was one year since Adele asked me to join her as Associate Trainer at Adele Bates Education. It was a hell of a day…
I couldn’t believe it
This month a trainee teacher happened to be at the school where I was returning to deliver Part 2 on supporting Extreme Behaviour needs.
I was NOT expecting that
As usual, I’d sat down at the laptop to open the various inboxes, and was blown away to see the brilliant Kemi Oluyinka name check me as part of the catalyst that got her recently co-authored book Black in School published by Sage & Corwin.
These Cushions Say It All
I am currently working in Toulouse, I will be leading a keynote on Equality and Inclusion and workshop at the International School of Toulouse tomorrow.
Meet my Advisory Board
At the end of 2023, I established an Advisory Board to strengthen our organisation’s impact and direction.
-Their role is to support me (because practising what you preach matters!)
-Offer valuable insights from both within and beyond our profession
-Help guide decisions that maximise our positive influence
With their diverse background and wealth of experience, I’m delighted to introduce you to our Advisory Board.
Meet my team
Since Sept 2023 we have worked with 1382 school leaders and teaching staff directly, impacting approximately 43890 pupils! I don’t do this on my own! Meet my team…Probably not…
