Featured Community: Laleham Park Hub
In the latest podcast episode, Michelle Eden discusses the Laleham Park Hub, a proposed community centre in Laleham Park aimed at reinstating some community spirit back to the area. If the bid is successful, the hub will feature a dog-friendly cafe, changing rooms, showers, and a flexible community space for workshops and events. The initiative stems from Michelle's experience in the charity sector and her desire to combat loneliness, isolation, and mental health issues by fostering community spirit. The project has received positive feedback with 77% of those surveyed believing it will benefit mental health and 84% acknowledging a need for such a space. The hub plans to collaborate with other organisations and local authorities, although it faces challenges like garnering support and permission from local councils. The project’s timeline aims for completion by 2027 with a vision for eco-friendly and future-proof community spaces.

Featured Business: Cruse Bereavement Support
The latest episode of The Sheppertonian podcast features Nerys James from Cruse Bereavement Support, who shares insights into bereavement assistance and the importance of volunteer training. This charity has been the beacon of hope since 1959 for those grappling with loss, providing tailored support for adults, children, and young people. Nerys explains how their approach is like a warm hug, offering one-to-one support that can be delivered over the phone, Zoom, or in-person, depending on what the client needs. It's not just about talking; it's about creating a safe space for people to articulate their feelings and navigate their grief. The emphasis on volunteer training is commendable; these unsung heroes are the backbone of the charity, receiving rigorous training to ensure they’re equipped to handle the heart-wrenching realities of bereavement. Nerys reasons that the journey of grief is a shared experience, and clients strive to normalise those feelings, helping them find a 'new normal' after their loss. Listening to Nerys, you can feel the compassion radiating, reminding us that we’re never alone on this path.
