🎃🎃Happy Halloween 🎃🎃

We had the best time at our Halloween party. Spooky sounds from our resident DJ- the talented young DJEJ. He always gets everyone dancing.

The Murder mystery planned by the Post 16 group, was brilliant. Creative writing, poetry and cryptic clues made a great activity around our learning SENtre.

The cookery groups made great treats as wells as Susie's_gifts very kind donations. Thank you x

The shop remains open today, if you want to support young people learning employment, social and academic skills please pop in:

🎭Theatrical and costume Make Up workshop🎭

The Pre 16 young people studying their Art Qualification were very lucky to participate in a Special effects Make Up workshop.

The group were fascinated by Demi’s portfolio of work. Demi recently, graduated in Special Effects Make up in London. It was great to have such an interactive workshop to engage in.

For some of the group, this has ‘sparked’ an interest in more qualification in Make up and Nail design- something we will completely support.

BECKY

Becky joined as a crafter in 2023 and later joined the Overloaded Team in 2025 as a support assistant- she brings her energy and love for animals.

Becky is based at the Overloaded’s outdoor space, she supports with horse and animal care throughout the week. Becky also supports the outdoor groups who focus on horse care, cycle maintenance and out door activities.

Becky is creative, supportive and nurturing in her approach. She has first aid qualifications and extensive knowledge of young carers and barriers young people have to learning.

Becky says, ‘ I love being at the Overloaded farm, it is an excellent space for young people to learn as well as supporting their mental health. The fresh air is so important and connections with animals gives young people another level of interpersonal skills.

The Overloaded horses are calming and communicate through their behaviour, all ages can learn from this. Extending the animals at the farm would be a great responsibility for the young people. ‘

🥲😬We have an announcement to make….🥲😬

As a Not for Profit organisation we are extremely sorry to announce this…..

The team and young people have worked tirelessly this term on their academic studies, employment skills and managing our Overloaded Gift Shop at:
1 Fishers Yard, St Neots PE19 2AG

During a time where it is hard for young people to access employment and high streets are dying. Competition has come into St Neots and strategies have been used to ensure we continue our Gift shop…

The Gift shop is tucked off of the Market Square, this location is needed to ensure it is a steady environment for young people to learn and develop. The aim of the shop set up in 2022 has always been to

* Support young people move into Employment
And
* Support local crafters sell their products - this aim has now gained momentum and other towns are now opening crafters shops (we had no money or stock in 2022 and so the young people decided to invite crafters to sell- genius!)

It has always been important, the shop achieves these aims and remains sustainable, financially. It is really difficult therefore to announce…..

This month we have sold too much stock, we have very limited Halloween products left.

It’s true…. The shop has been full of customers, the percentage of footfall to sales ratio is up to 95% and we have supported 40 wonderful crafters this month.
Qualifications have been started and young people have gone on their half term break full of satisfaction and smiles.

If you have read this post, we appreciate you- it means you truly care for our Gift Shop and support us. We really appreciate you. Every kind word that is said in our shop is noted and every sales helps change lives.

The Sad news is, if you want beautiful, handcrafted Halloween Stock, we are running out fast.

Half term (next 2 weeks) opening hours
Thursday, Friday and Saturday 9.30am-2.30pm

Aimee works within the gift shop and is part of the operational team in the Learning SENtre.

Aimee says, ‘I’m really grateful to work for a company that gives young people the chance to learn about themselves, grow in confidence and build skills for life.

I love being able to share my crochet in the gift shop and really appreciate everyone who supports local crafters.

Every purchase also helps Overloaded continue the amazing work they do, giving young people a place where they can feel supported and thrive.’

KAYLEIGH

Kayleigh joined Overloaded in 2024 bringing a skills and experience in retail. The Overloaded Gift Shop was a keen focus of Kayleigh’s and she had vision…

Developing her knowledge of SEN and education has allowed Kayleigh to work in the SENtre, Gift shop and community. Her creative ideas capture our Pre 16 young people, music, Arts Awards and Creative Studies are all subjects and qualifications Kayleigh delivers.

Kayleigh also focuses on the Post 16 Provision, providing support to access the community confidently and later work experience. Kayleigh’s employment training in the shop has resulted in increase of sales, development of employment skills and diversifying of stock in the shop- a keen focus on anxiety aids is now sold in 1 Fishers Yard.

Kayleigh says, ‘ I enjoy working with young people and seeing them grow in confidence, both within the setting and out in the community. It’s rewarding to support them in developing their independence and feeling more confident in themselves and the world around them.

I feel grateful that I can help the Young people build their confidence in work experience in the gift shop and seeing how proud they are of their own work at Overloaded gift shop.’

✏️📚Meet The Staff✏️📚

JAMIE

Jamie joined Overloaded in 2022 bringing with him a wealth of practical experience and knowledge.
Leaving school early, Jamie was lucky enough to be offered practical learning and later an apprenticeship in Motor Mechanics where he thrived.

Jamie understands how important it is to teach across different learning styles and environments. He has built a mini gym area in the SENtre and is the lead at the Overloaded Farm and outside Space.

Jamie’s, creative approach allows young people opportunities to explore activities and qualifications that main stream schools can not facilitate.

Jamie has continued his own education and plays a leading role in health and safety, fire marshalling and exam invigilating in the SENtre.

Jamie says, ‘I enjoy the team I work within, every day at Overloaded is different. The variety of different sites allows young people to explore and gain new interests.
Quad bikes, shooting ranges, maps, horses, cycling and cars are resources that not only give qualifications but life long skills.- the young people amaze me when they are given the right environment and tools.’
