We're recruiting to our Take Time To Talk project, for a Conversations Facilitator. If you know someone who would like to support families to make a difference to their relationships, please share, very happy to take calls for an informal chat. https://www.greater.jobs/job/75730560

Arguments. Silence. Standoffs.
It doesn’t mean you’re broken – it means you’re stuck.

Mediation isn’t about blaming. It’s about unsticking the situation.

If it feels like you’re going in circles, we can help you move forward. One conversation at a time.

You're not alone. Co-parenting after separation can feel like walking a tightrope in the dark. But it doesn’t have to.

Mediation helps you build clear plans, set boundaries, and put your children first – without court battles.

We listen. We guide. You decide.

Our great trustee and supporter Mitesh sourced this huge lot of bags following our appeal to help with our fundraising...and arranged collection from our friends at Nisa Local. HUGE THANKS to both.... now we can hit Bryn's Big Weekender with 100s of surprise prizes! Restart the Heart Londis - Standish Lower Ground

Most people don’t want conflict – they just want to be heard.
That’s where we come in.

At TalkFIRST, we help families have the conversations that feel too hard to have alone. Calmly. Safely. Without judgement.

You don’t have to go through this in silence. Let’s talk first. 💬

We're delighted to be working with Zulu Technology - as well as helping us develop a new case management platform, they are 'giving back' through some pro bono support for our little charity. Thank you to Neil and Angela, who have just popped into our office for a progress update.
Professionals of Wigan - great networking event to meet the right people!

🔹 MYTH #5: “It doesn’t work.”

Tell that to the thousands of people who’ve resolved massive issues without stepping foot in a courtroom.

Mediation doesn’t guarantee a fairytale ending – but it often leads to understanding, agreement, and closure.

It works. Because talking works.

🔹 MYTH #4: “It costs a fortune.”

Compared to dragging things through court? Mediation is a bargain.

Most sessions are much cheaper than legal proceedings – and way quicker too. Less stress, less cost, more control.

Just leaving these reminders here for any parents who are finding the summer holidays hard...

Image description: Purple graphic with white text reads it's okay if...(summer holidays edition). There are six different coloured sun illustrations with reminders in white text underneath - you don't love the summer holidays, you need some help, you don't have anything planned today, if you don't stick to a routine, bedtime is later, you have days inside. A white Home-Start logo sits in the middle at the bottom.

Help! A shout out to all our Wigan based friends and colleagues. Has anyone got an old style fold out Wigan A-Z map they could let go?

If we could get 2 or 3 - even better - for a fundraising event to raise some much needed money for our ongoing work.

Ask around, scour the charity shops, beg, borrow, steal. (OK - don't steal) .. help would be beyond appreciated
