☀️ Light in. Heat Out 🪟
Work with the sun, not against it.
Close curtains or blinds on windows in direct sunshine to help stop heat building up indoors. ☀️
You don't need to keep every curtain closed all day. Instead, follow the sun. Once the sun has moved on, open them again to enjoy the daylight.
It's a simple habit that can help keep your home more comfortable during warmer weather. 🏡

Absolutely awesome x

You said. We listened. 💬🧡
We asked children, young people and families what they’d like to see from STRM and they had plenty of ideas!
From sports, crafts and teen activities to days out, workshops and support for independence, their ideas are helping shape what we do next. ♾️

New Sessions & Programme Launches

We build support based on what families tell us they need.

Recent launches include:

Monthly Support Timetable

Drop-ins. Workshops. 1:1 guidance. Whole-family support — not just a chat.

As new programmes open, this is where you’ll see them first.

 

Awards, Recognition & Milestones

We are proud that STRM’s lived-experience approach is being recognised locally and nationally.

Recent milestones include:

• Shortlisted for a national SEND award for partnership working
• Supporting Your Neurodivergent Child resource distributed to over 18,000 families
• Growing team of trustees, staff and volunteers with lived experience
• Cross-sector partnerships with local authorities and health partners

Every award and milestone reflects the families who trust us and the community that continues to grow around them.
