HULL IN STITCHES - 100 visits complete! I've still got to finish the stitches, make the map, get it displayed (@ArtlinkHull have expressed an interest, so 🤞) & then find it a permanent home, but this feels like a proper milestone! Help me celebrate? justgiving.com/page/hull-in-…

Happy New Year from Pause ✨ Our #NeverMoreThanOnce gallery is live for one more week, showcasing messages from over 100 birth mothers about the changes they want to see. We're looking forward to working with them to achieve some of these changes in 2025: pause.org.uk/never-more-than…
A blue background with white text reading "Hear from birth mothers about the changes they want to see #NeverMoreThanOnce". Above the text are three banners created by women working with Pause, which read: "Understand mental health", "Be kind and make good choices" and "Treat women who have children removed with compassion and empathy".

We’ve had our Christmas break and welcomed in the new year! Things are quiet for a month or two while Mother Nature slumbers and we start to prepare for 2025 at Rooted. We thought it might be a good idea to remember the transformation that takes place down on the farm every year.

Alongside our #NeverMoreThanOnce gallery, we're sharing the experiences of women who have completed the Pause Programme. In this blog post, Jade writes a letter to other women on the programme, and reflects on her first year of Getting Involved at Pause: lnkd.in/eaXgDycg
A purple background with colourful animations of women at the bottom of the page, and a speech bubble containing a quote from Jade's blog post, which reads "Honestly, you need to remember anything is possible if you put your mind to it. Pause has been my safe space, my place to reflect and Pause have taught me there's life after your children are removed" - Jade, Pause Ambassador and Advisory Group member.

For women who no longer have children in their care, this time of year can be especially painful for many reasons💚Our practice teams encourage open conversations about feelings and prepare women for the festive season in different ways. Read more 👇 tinyurl.com/mrdwb2wk
“Each person experiences the festive season differently and can harbour trauma around general expectations of the festive season, compared to their reality. Therefore, the next time you are speaking to someone about their festive plans, why not ask them how this time of year feels for them” - Pause Practice Lead.
