This week is Carers Week and for all you carers, here is a real treat… a little time to spend on yourself this evening at 7pm!

💜Who Cares for the Carer? 💜

Carers spend so much time asking:

How are you?
What do you need?
How can I help?

This Carer's week I'd like to ask a different question....

WHO IS ASKING THOSE QUESTIONS OF YOU?

Tomorrow evening I'll be hosting a special Mindful Monday for Carers Week.

If you're someone who spends your time looking after everyone else, this session is for you.

We'll be exploring simple ways to support your nervous system, prevent burnout and reconnect with yourself through a gentle guided meditation.

Monday 8 June 🕖 7pm UK Time
Please tag or share to someone you know is a carer, because carers deserve care too. 💜 🌿

Something Old Something New (SOSN) a much-loved charity shop in Stirling, has grown from humble beginnings into a vibrant, community-focused organisation at the heart of the Thistles Shopping Centre, dedicated to raising funds for Parkinson’s research in Scotland.

Its team of volunteers work across the shop including crafts specialists, stock management, and visual merchandising. We collected stories from some of the volunteers at SOSN about why they started volunteering, and its positive impact on their lives and in fostering community.

These beautiful purses have been handcrafted by Khayla, a talented Art student who volunteers in our shop. By purchasing her work, you are helping to support her as she completes her Art degree and develops her creative career. Khayla is donating a % of the sales to SOSN.

To the person who was in our shop earlier and left this behind - please note; we are not here to clean up after you!… we all work on a voluntary basis to present a lovely, clean shop and if you had asked we would have provided a cloth and a mop for you to clean up your coffee mess!!!!
