OUR LISTEN UP PROGRAMME GETS THE GO AHEAD AGAIN FROM THE PARTNERS AT THE NEW LEAF CHESHIRE PROGRAMME

1. On week 1 we created vision boards and included our goals, aspirations, interests and dreams so that it can boost our motivation and give us a confidence boost.

“I enjoyed creating the vision board because I could highlight my future achievements and goals”

2. On week 2 the group produced a New Leaf promotional trail which included information about New Leaf and what is included in the service and how to find out more

“It gave me a boost in confidence doing this activity and I got to work well in team producing mindmapping experience, then we created a script, then we decided who was going to say which part which was a great team activity, then we rehearsed and recorded the promotional trail”

3. Week 3 we created an aspirational journey script about what we have done and where we want to go in the future.

“This allowed us to focus on our achievements and our future goals which can be uplifting”

4. Week 4 we created and designed our own CD covers and looked into how to reduce anxiety. We created a list which was then turned into a script and then decided who was going to say what for each area.

“At the start we ran a 3 mins getting to know you activity which helps lower anxiety levels and gets you to know more about the other participant. I was so happy to be involved in something and take part in a task that had meaning and stretched your skills. It was very enjoyable.

5. Week 5 We spoke about the negative things in our lives and then rinsed them away and started to speak about the more positive things in our lives which was a highlight. Then we took part in some communication techniques and made a blog page. We were awarded our certificates and gained recognition

“I have enjoyed the course and feel so much more confident. I wouldn’t normally talk to people like I have done in this course. It has opened my eyes about the concentration of communication skills and I will try and use these in the future.” OL from Crewe

“It has improved my confidence and I am smiling muc more. I am sad that it has finished” Mairi crewe

“I have thoroughly enjoyed it and it has provided me with an opportunity to explore myself and put new goals in place. I am looking forward to the future” Sally Crewe
