A MESSAGE FROM SAM
Hi, ladies!
November feels like the perfect moment to pause and take a breath. We are still glowing from the incredible success of our 10 Brithday Bash. What a night! You filled that room with courage, laughter, sequins, and stories of strength that could light up a whole city. Every single one of you remind me why Sam’s Diamonds exists You are the reason; Your resilience is the music and the magic behind everything we do. th
I’m also thrilled to share that we have received funding from Creative Lives once again! This support means we can continue our much-loved Art & Craft Club, and we have launched a beautiful new project: Legacy Scrapbooks. These will be a place to capture and treasure your happiest memories, stories, and artwork for years to come
Alongside this, we now have a brand-new online art club, with pre-recorded sessions you can join in with whenever suits you best. Creativity should always be accessible, and I hope this gives even more of you the chance to get involved.
Our Diamond family continues to grow stronger, more confident, more unstoppable. You inspire me daily Whether you are joining our sessions, cheering from home, volunteering, fundraising, or simply waking up each day and choosing to keep moving forward, you are thriving. You shine in ways you might not even realise yet.
So here’s to a sparkling November. Here’s to new memories, warm connections, and cosy moments. Here’s to each of you, turning hardship into hope and hope into a brilliantly bright life.
With all my love, Sam x

ONLINE ART CLUB
We know how much our Diamonds love getting creative together - and now you can join in from the comfort of your own home
Our brand-new online art club is here, with pre-recorded sessions that you can access anytime, anywhere. Whether you’re having a quiet afternoon, want to unwind in the evening, or simply fancy trying something new, you can press play and get creative at your own pace.
This means you will never have to miss outeven if you can’t make it to our ‘in-person’ clubs. It’s all about giving every Diamond the chance to enjoy the wellbeing, fun, and confidence that creativity brings.
So grab your paints, paper, and brushes of choice, and join us online to let your imagination shine!

SAM’S DIAMONDS
10 BIRTHDAY BASH TH
To everyone who supported our event on the 17 October - THANK YOU! We couldn’t have dreamed of a better celebration. From laughter to happy tears, to full-on silliness and joy, we played games, we danced and most importantly - we watched our incredible Diamonds shine with confidence as they OWNED that catwalk! th
But how did we get them there?
Because our ball is so much more than what you see on the night. It’s a full journey of empowerment.
�� We started with confidence-building catwalk training to help our ladies walk tall and proud.
�� They were then treated to a beautiful lunch at The Book Stop in St Helens - thank you for your warm hospitality
♀A deeply relaxing sound bath experience followed from Naomi at The Yoga Loft, helping them centre and connect before the big night
�� Next, the ever talented students from Riverside College Widnes & Runcorn, gave their time and skills to pamper our girls with stunning hair and make up
�� A huge shout out to Jess from The French Dresser Boutique in St Helens who styled our ladies in the most fabulous outfits - they truly felt like Queens. Your care and attention made a world of difference
��Throughout the night we were graced with the most fantastic tunes by Tracey from Face2Face Events
��And what can we say about Dave the Magic 1. We are still in shock over his amazing magic tricks.
