MissPlaces CIC MissPlaces supports women’s well-being through a wide range of craft activities and workshops

MissPlaces is a community business which was set up in the summer of 2017. We are a warm, friendly and supportive group, who meet regularly bringing a wide variety of interests, skills, talents and hobbies, to contribute to the economic growth and sustainability of MissPlaces. Members use their skills, both old and new, to make items to sell and just a few to mention are Jewellery, greetings cards

, light up bottles and seasonal gifts, but we also sell a range of products which more specialised craft items, bespoke in nature, which can be personalised for commissioning. We have some members who excel at the more traditional home making skills, like sewing, cross stitch, knitting and crocheting. This means we can offer our service to commissioned orders for items which utilizes these skills. We also have a heat press and have recently started doing personalised printing on items. MissPlaces supports each member to be the ‘best they can be’ and aims to create a healthy ethos of well-being and wellness. Our members regularly report that attending MissPlaces has improved their self-confidence and self-esteem, reduced their social isolation, increased their skills set and expanded their friendship group. We welcome all women from all backgrounds and support everyone to reach their potential; harnessing an individual’s ‘special something’ to be more creative, purposeful and inspirational. Every member has their own ‘story’ to tell; many ladies attending MissPlaces have experienced difficult life events, and could have experienced a bereavement, have low self-confidence, low self-esteem, could have anxiety, depression, other mental health issues, or are feeling isolated and lonely. A new member can expect to be welcomed and supported by the Director, who is a Counsellor by profession, who endeavours to offer a friendly listening ear and a brew, to help with meeting the other members and settling in. For an informal chat please make initial contact by sending a private message, email us to [email protected] or ring the Director on 07513 139930.

Let’s be ready to listen every single day 👂❤️‍🩹💜

Su***de prevention isn’t something anyone should be paying lip service to for one day in the year.

There will be thousands of posts today telling people to reach out, to talk, to stay, and reminding us to be kind.

But su***de prevention has to exist in the way we treat people when we are angry with them.
When we disagree with them.
When relationships or friendships break down.
When somebody makes a mistake.
When rumours start.
When social media makes it very easy to publicly shame, ridicule, isolate or pile onto another human being.

❗️We rarely know the full weight somebody is already carrying❗️

If we genuinely care about preventing su***de, then we also have to think about the environments we help create around people.

Words matter.
Bullying matters.
Exclusion matters.
Repeated online attacks matter.

A su***de prevention message means very little if our behaviour towards another human being contributes to their despair.

At EPiC HOPE, we believe su***de prevention belongs to all of us, every day of the year.

So today, if you truly believe in su***de prevention, share the graphic. Wear the ribbon. Start the conversation 🎗️💬

But tomorrow, and the day after that, live the message too.

Be part of making somebody’s world safer 🛟

You’re not alone 💜

To anyone affected by su***de, whether you’re missing someone you’ve lost, struggling with suicidal thoughts yourself or supporting someone who is going through it right now – we’re thinking of you this World Su***de Prevention Day.

Just a reminder that if you find World Su***de Prevention Day hard, for any reason, it really is OK to switch off from social media tomorrow. Take care of yourselves 💚

We’re always here to talk on 116 123 📱

I so love this idea❤️💖🥲

A wonderful collaboration bringing these fundamental services together for this conversation 

At Number 10 today representing ANDYSMANCLUB…

Very important meeting alongside government, CEOs and leaders from across the mental health and su***de prevention sector…

The meeting was led Minister Jake Richards, the Government’s lead for men and boys.

Good to see the Government listening to people doing this work every day.

What matters now is what comes from those conversations. Everyone in the room is beyond passionate and I can and feel the energy in the room to improving the health and wellbeing of men and boys across the UK.

One of my challenges to the room was…

Is there a way we come together to save some of PAPYRUS’ services and make sure the good work they’ve done doesn’t disappear into the abyss?

We all share a purpose in saving lives.

If there’s a way to protect that work and keep support there for those who need it, we should be exploring it together.

Very important conversations have been and will continue…

This is a very sad day to hear the news of the ending of such a vital service for young people – but it’s so wonderful to hear that EPiC HOPE UK have been working hard behind the scenes to begin something amazing to meet our young people’s needs💜 

To every young person who may be frightened by today’s news ; PLEASE hold on 🛟

Today we heard the incredibly sad news that PAPYRUS Prevention of Young Su***de has gone into administration, meaning the loss of HOPELINE247.

Our thoughts are with everyone at PAPYRUS, their staff, volunteers, supporters and, most importantly, the young people and families who have relied upon their support.

We know that for some young people, hearing that a service they trusted is no longer there may feel frightening or even devastating.

Please know that you have not been abandoned. There is still help. Please reach out.

For many months, quietly behind the scenes, EPiC HOPE has been developing our Youth Harbour, a safe, non-clinical place for young people aged 10–19 experiencing mental health crisis or suicidal thoughts.

We weren’t planning to talk about it quite yet. But today feels like an important day to say;

Help is coming. And we want young people to help us build it.

We don’t want to design a service for young people without young people. We want to hear from 10–19 year olds, parents and carers, teachers, colleges and those who support young people, so that the Youth Harbour is shaped around what young people actually need when life becomes unbearable.

If you are a young person reading this and today’s news has left you worried about where you can turn, please stay. Please tell somebody how you are feeling.

Right now you can~

💜 Call Samaritans – 116 123, free, 24/7
💜 Text SHOUT to 85258, free, 24/7
💜 Call Childline – 0800 1111, free, 24/7
💜 Call NHS 111 for urgent mental health support
💜 If you or somebody else is in immediate danger, call 999
💜 Call EPiC HOPE - 07483 186351

And please keep watching this space for the EPiC HOPE Youth Harbour.

If you’re aged 10–19 and would like your voice to help shape it, or you’re a parent, carer, teacher, tutor or professional who wants to be involved in our co-design work, please get in touch with us.

Today reminds all of us why su***de prevention services matter so deeply.

To everyone who has been part of PAPYRUS and HOPELINE247 ~ thank you for every conversation, every person you stood beside, and every life you helped to keep safe.

And to the 3 Dads Walking We will always remember Beth, Emily, and Sophie 💜💜💜
