Show 135 – March 21st

seApAdvocacyAngela was joined in the studio by Sarah Oakes (pictured here on the left) and Sarah Deason (on the right) from seAp Advoacy.  We learnt why they joined the charity and what “advocacy” really means and how they support and help people safeguard their rights.  Listen back to hear both Sarahs explain how seAp helps and also the news that with effect from 1st April 2016 there will be a new way to contact Advocacy services for adults in Kent.  If you are looking for help on PIP or ESA you may find their c-app really useful too.

If you wish to volunteer for this charity, do get in touch as they are always looking for volunteers.

Show 134 – March 14th

JackRavenBushcraftIf you went down in the woods today……….

Angela was delighted to meet Gary Johnston from Jack Raven Bushcraft and Jayne Dunsbee from Inspirational Changes.  Hear Angela’s interview with them about why Gary set up bushcrafting courses and is now an approved CPD provider of The Institute for Outdoor Learning.  Also we hear why Jayne and Gary have partnered together to provide a new offering, Nature Based Mindfulness retreats.  Gary and Jayne touch on the scientific benefits of Mindfulness practices as well as the benefits of being outdoors.  We hear about the wonderful tasty recipes that Gary’s partner, Nicola Clowes, produces (that have been compared to restaurant quality) for example, Hogweed Pakoras, Dandelion Bajis and Sag Aloo made from Stinging nettles and why stinging nettles are so much better for us than Spinach!

If you wish to book on one of their Nature Based Mindfulness retreat days (or weekend) hurry as places are limited.  Dates on offer are:

Saturday 14th May      or      Thursday 16th June     or 2 day = Sat – Sun 13th – 14th August 2016.

Book HERE to secure your place, you’ll have a great time with Gary, Nicola and Jayne.
