IN COMMUNITY G O S SI P

JPC COMMUNITY FARM OFF TO A GREAT START IN 2020 JPC Community Farm is off to a flying start in 2020 thanks to a wave of support from the local community as 2019 came to a close.

The Orangery Cafe at JPC Community Farm opened its doors just before Christmas and is welcoming diners from all over. The residential and respite apartments are close to completion but there are a few more areas that could use your support to help them on their way to being an outstanding facility for adults with complex needs as well as the local area and finally getting those doors open. They told us about the generous businesses and fundraisers in the local community who have contributed so far and how you can too.

The JPC Team, armed with loyal volunteers, returned to Morrisons at Teesside Park to help Christmas shoppers on their busy festive shop with an afternoon of bag packing. The team of volunteers were thrilled to chat to the shoppers and let them know how their kind donations were being used towards furnishing a respite apartment on JPC Community Farm.

They raised an awesome ÂŁ310.50.

Then, Morgan Hair Nail Bar & Spa hosted a fantastic pamper evening in aid of JPC Community Farm.

Attendees of the event were treated to live hair styling tutorials, skincare and haircare prescriptions, beauty demos and a great raffle. The fantastic team at Morgans made everyone feel welcome and pampered and, as a result, raised a massive ÂŁ459.30 which was put towards completing that respite apartment.

JPC Community Farm wish to thank the following companies and organistions for their recent donations: Morgan Hair Nail Bar & Spa Clear-It Weald Park Limited Darlington and District Motor Club

We use

In total, the farm has 7 full respite apartments and one reserved for emergency placement, all of which need to be furnished ready for their first visitors. Each respite apartment will cost approximately £1500 to fully furnish with generous donors and contributors having a plaque installed on the wall with their name on as a thank you.

Local company Clear-It Teesside also kindly donated towards a respite room as well as Weald Park Limited from St Helens.

HIFU - Skin Tightening The Science

HIFU targets the same layer of skin addressed in cosmetic surgery, penetrating the foundation layer of your skin. Instead of using lasers which infiltrate from the outside in, HIFU bypasses the surface and delivers targeted energy specifically into the deep structural tissues and muscles where collagen lives.

The HIFU treatment works by penetrating the skin with ultrasound energy to stimulate the collagen production in the deep dermal and sub dermal levels resulting in micro injury to that tissue. As the tissue heals, it increases the collagen and as these collagen fibres organise and shorten a tightening effect is seen on the skin.

In addition to the Buddy Scheme Bespoke run a staff well being program which involves group Meditation Sessions, Family Fun Days, Staff Walks to Roseberry Topping and the general ethos that Kindness is our Superpower.

Bespoke Financial Group firmly believe looking after the staff and their well being is the key to a happy and productive work force, the every day struggles that we all deal with can easily takes its toll and they want to be there to support their staff.

Talking about how you feel can be difficult, especially in the age of social media where there are endless posts depicting perfect lifestyles it can seem like you are the only person who is struggling.

However, you are never alone, instead of hiding how you feel and bottling emotions up Bespoke encourage their staff to share any worries and concerns.

Bespoke Financial are lighting the way for staff wellbeing within the workplace with the Bespoke Buddy Scheme. They are proud of the support network they have of their staff, ensuring that all members of team are aware that they always have someone to talk to, a helping hand is never too much trouble.

The Bespoke Buddy Scheme was launched by pairing staff up with a fellow team member to offer each other best practice sharing ideas as well as a one to one support network. Often people don’t know who to turn to or they may find talking to large groups about how they feel quite daunting, therefore the small one to one structure is so effective.

It’s what everybody’s talking about

“I joined Bespoke in November and can honestly say I do not know what I would have done these last few months without the support of the staff here. It’s the simple things such as just being asked if I am ok and if there is anything, I need both inside and outside of work, I really have never known such empathy for the staff regardless of the job role” Jodi Brunskill, Senior Adviser Support Email: info@bespokefinancialuk.co.uk Tel: 01642 931238 www.bespokefinancialuk.co.uk 3549

Kate Seow is a jewellery designer-maker based in Yarm and a self-confessed gemstone addict. From collecting anything sparkly at a young age, it wasn’t long before she started making jewellery.

“I’m always happy when I’m creating things,” she says. It wasn’t until Kate suffered the personal tragedy of losing her Mum very suddenly a couple of years ago that she decided to take the plunge and turn her lifelong passion into a business.

Established in 2018, Prosecco & Rubies is Kate’s way of celebrating her Mum’s life by making beautiful handmade silver and gemstone jewellery. Each piece is inspired by the natural beauty of the gemstones and the effects that are created through traditional silversmithing techniques.

As a result, every piece is unique. She currently offers three jewellery collections and is working on a fourth, but the main service that Kate provides is working with her to design special, bespoke jewellery.

page 16

As a Mum herself, Kate is acutely aware of the impact we are having on our planet and what we are leaving to our children. For this reason, she takes steps to make her business as sustainable as possible. Where available, she uses 100% recycled silver, sources her gemstones from companies that have high ethical standards and uses nearly 100% recycled and recyclable materials in her packaging. She is also a Fairtrade Registered Goldsmith for those occasions that she is asked to work with gold.

“It’s not about being perfect, it’s about doing what you can and building on that.”

You can find Prosecco & Rubies in the Pop-Up Shop, Yarm High Street, on the first Saturday of every month, as well as at craft fairs, wedding fairs and events across the region and beyond. Visit Prosecco & Rubies’ Facebook page for the latest news and events.
