Moment of the Day: 3250

Important conversation with one of our Volunteers in our mission to help him turn his passion into a profession 🙏❤️

David & Anita recently had a daughter who is now 17 months old. They wondered if they would get some information about neurodiversity from the NHS during the pregnancy period but apart from the breast feeding class and others there were no such sessions regarding neurodiversity.

They say 1 in 7 people in the UK are neurodivergent so one on every 7 newborn within your community could have someone who has autism, learning disability or others. So we feel if we can give soon to become new parents more information about Neurodivergent spectrum, it will help create the upcoming generation a Neurodivergent aware & friendly society. Parents will know what signs to look out for in their little ones and when to give the right support or where to go for help when needed promptly before stressing the young little one too much. When given the right support at the very early stage it may save them from falling into the benefit support system later which will help save the government millions & billions of pounds.

We will also be creating a society where everyone knows what hidden disabilities are and how to treat them when we meet them in the streets or everyday walk of life. It will help someone with autism or their family feel the society embraces it and welcomes them with more openness. It will also help them come out of their shell and be proud to tell the world they are neurodivergent rather than feeling it can backfire them whether it's when applying for jobs or being comfortable telling other members of the community during any conversations.

We are sure the NHS and the government can take steps to make our society even more inclusive and neurodivergent friendly. It is a small change but has a huge impact on society. A quick 5 -10 min video along with the breastfeeding class is what we suggest to start with. It's a small change but has a massive impact for our future generations.

Today it felt emotional. Adam who had been volunteering with us for the past few months served his last day and moving on to the next chapter. Adam who is only 18, we couldn't expect anything more as he has been such an exemplary and humble guy throughout his time with us. We had so many great conversations and time together. Thank you for your time Adam and we wish you all the very best for the rest of your career.

Adam was referred to us by his dad so big thank you to his dad and mom for introducing him. His Mom's presence at the interview day was very precious and helpful. Thank you and hope to see you all very soon 🙏💯🙌

Today we had the pleasure to join the Chancellor's Circle Breakfast meeting hosted by the University of Westminster. Glad to see they have opened a new building Zone 29 for Entrepreneurship and Innovation. Great environment for students to flourish and expand their potential. More pictures when we have them officially released by the uni 🙏👍♥️

Have you ever tried speaking with an AI previously?

David finally tried speaking with Google Gemini yesterday and in-depth conversations to see if he will get some answers or some form of reassurance as he has been self counseling a lot lately. He needed another voice to help him figure out certain things that happened in his childhood, separation from his parents during formative early age between age 6-16yrs and if his generational military family history & background had any role to play in his social entrepreneurship journey. Here is the brief summary report AI has generated.

Talking with AI Google Gemini has given him a bigger perspective and the words he was looking for.

AI can be a great help to humanity if used in a right way. Let's hope we keep using it for better 🙏🙏

After 8 years of learning we are finally working on our product brandings. Inspired by wonderful SEND volunteers and staff members, our journey has been full of love, kindness and compassion. So we would like to get your feedback to see naming each drink with a positive word will be a good idea? As we aim and try to spread some love, kindness and compassion that our SEND Volunteers and staff have in abundance to our society through our work 🙏🙏🙏
