Survivors Supporting Survivors was formed in May 2021 and is a registered charity in Scotland (SC051009). Our organisation intends to run a number of activities in order to provide relief to those who have suffered or been affected by brain injuries. As a lived experience organisation we aim to use our experiences to support fellow survivors in whatever area they are struggling with post-injury, as well as having fun, making friends and progressing in life again. For now offer 1 to 1 supportOur survivors have been on and are going through similar circumstances to the refferal. We know how hard a recovery can be. We've been there. We offer any kind of support a survivor might require to progress, at any stage of recovery. We are prepared to be a friend, give support, provide answers or just lend a shoulder to cry on. We can go from daily living basics like talking, reading, writing, doing the dishes, cooking, to more advanced support.We also offer Group work, socializing is a key part of recovery and often one of the hardest bridges to conquer. Combining a group of like-minded individuals who have gone through or are going through the circumstances you face is a brilliant experience. A chance to chat, about brain injuries, near death experiences or just the weather. The groups can be inspiring, encouraging and lots of laughter. As well as group work, we are also offering fun activities. There are lots of fun activities we try and put on , we are always open to ideas and are keen to just have fun and socialize whilst making progress in the ongoing recovery. From sports to fundraising or just social events. There is no limit to what we can muster...

I was originally hired by Mellow as their Mellow Dads Coordinator, this was a growth in my Barnardos career and moved my focus from domestic focus, to national reach, covering the whole of Scotland. After a successful period in that role and obtaining a wider understanding of the needs that families and services faced, how Mellow can help and grow. My role in Mellow Parenting was changed to Development Officer. This role had a worldwide reach and focussed on supporting the delivery of Mellow Parenting groups beyond Scottish borders and maximising exposure of the programmes on a national/international scale.Responsible for supporting, accessing funds for training staff from partner organisations, delivering the training, supporting delivery of Mellow Parenting groups.Raising awareness of Mellow Parenting within the third sector, at a government level, within the NHS, Prisons, any organisation that support the most vulnerable families in the community and could benefit from the services that we could provide.
