Events (Catalyst)

On Friday 1st March, 2019 we hosted an amazing day out thanks to Gransha Equestrian Centre through the Catalyst Personal Youth Development Programme. throughout the day we got to visit all the horses in their pens, feeding them carrotts and getting pictures. The PYDP group then got assigned a horse each and were taught by a professional at the centre how to correct walk, trot, stop/start and steer the horses round their training area. After our lesson we retreated back to the centre for a light lunch and some drinks to reflect on everything we learnt and our therapeutic day out. 

On Monday 11th March we done a Baby Massage taster workshop run by Tracy to show use how to relax our babies and ourselves during stressful times in our lives. Using therapy music and almond oils we carried out various different massage techniques from the toes all the way to the face, explaining how particular movements can help with babies digestion, wind, growing pains and colic. Oils and step by step guides were given home with the participants so this could be practiced in the comfort of their own home. 

A Employability, CV building and Interview skills workshop was carried out over 3 weeks on a tuesday morning with some participants who were interested in building on their CVs. Throughout this they learnt what to do and not to do at an interview, how to prepare, what to wear and key words to say to impress your interview panel. Professional CVs were done in our computer suite and emailed to the participants so they could use it and add to it anytime they deemed nescessary. In house certificates were issued on completion.
