⚠️The True Cost of Unmet SEND Needs⚠️
Autism, ADHD and disability do not make poor mental health inevitable. But isolation, exclusion, long waiting lists and inadequate support can have devastating consequences.
Early support changes lives. Mental health cannot wait. 🧡

🌍 Mayor’s Charity Quiz Night 🌎 Around the World
What a brilliant evening at the The Mayor of Southend-on-Sea Quiz Night at the The IronWorks Southend
A huge thank you to Carole Mulroney for her brilliant quiz mastering and Nigel Folkard⭐
There were plenty of laughs, some very questionable geography knowledge and a few moments when our STRM Spicy Ladies team probably wished they'd paid more attention at school! 😉😎
And, as usual, Joan put on a lovely spread to keep us all fuelled for our trip around the world!
Thank you to everyone who came along and supported the Mayor’s charities.🧡

🏨 We're Helping SEND Parent Carers Take a Break ⭐ 298 Carefree Referrals! ⭐
“Thank you The Chesford Grange Hotel STRM - SEND the Right Message Registered Charity and Carefree for my lovely break 🥰 much needed and so grateful 🙏 xx”
Because SEND parent carers deserve a break too! 🧡 Sometimes, just a night or two away can make all the difference!
STRM works in partnership with Carefree to help SEND parent carers access low-cost hotel breaks of 1–2 nights, up to twice a year! Eligible carers are automatically referred once registered with STRM. 🧳
A huge thank you to our wonderful Rebecca, who works so hard behind the scenes organising referrals and helping families 👏
