Share is currently running a 12-week sensory project called My SPACE, which aims to support our autistic students to better understand their senses and hence manage their sensory environment to improve their general wellbeing.
This ambitious project, which is funded by Lifelong Learning, is providing exciting and, often, surprising insights into our students' characters, helping their personalities to shine and smile.
For more information about this project, contact Share's Head of Training, Robert Boyce, via email robertb@sharecommunity.org.uk or telephone 020 7801 9815.
Wedding wishes, flowers and a poem
This month saw the wedding of long-time supporter of Share Ana Jablonska to her partner Paul. Ana's father Peter was general manager at Share many years go so we were delighted to send our very best wishes to the lovely couple with a little something from Share.
Share Nurseries provided some planters for the big day, while our creative writing students got busy writing some vows for the wedding, which appeared on packets of seeds given to guests as wedding favours.
Congratulations to you both! Wishing you much happiness from everyone at Share.

Employability skills at Share
Share students initially gain employability skills by working in our social enterprises – Share Nurseries and Share Catering – which provide real-life practical work experience in a safe and supported environment. Our Job Coaches then work with our students to hone those skills with a view to helping our students to take the next step – working or volunteering in the local community.
We’d love to hear from anyone who may have work placement or volunteering opportunities, particularly in retail, administration, warehouse and care work. Simple changes – reasonable adjustments to give them their technical term – can help our students reach their potential and take their rightful place as integral members of the workforce and society in general.
To find out more about our employability work and how you can help, contact our Job Coaches, Claire Smith, via email claires@sharecommunity.org.uk or Jaime Johnson, via email jaimej@sharecommunity.org.uk or telephone 020 7924 2949.
