Jayne started studying with SPƵվ during the Covid-19 lockdown, and now uses the art and textiles skills she has learned to support other people on their journeys of recovery.
“During lockdown I signed up for quite a few courses and I’ve kept doing quite a few ever since. It’s had a massive impact. As things started to relax from Covid my partner was taken ill and I’m now a carer, so it’s given me a real feeling of freedom and connection with other people as well as the actual content that I learn.”
Jayne also volunteers to help others around her and in her community. “My confidence to volunteer, taking on Trustee and board member roles with a charity and a CIC respectively, has definitely come through doing courses with the SPƵվ. When faced with becoming a carer, instead of feeling lost, this helped me…and I can cope with a steep learning curve!”
“Everything I’ve learned, if I can share it, I’ll be sharing it,”
Jayne
Jayne says. “All the stitching and the beading that I learned are going into the recovery coat that I’m making... One of the things we say in recovery, about our recovery, is that you only keep what you’ve got by giving it away. I feel like that about anything I learn, I want to pass it on.”
Jayne was the winner of the SPƵվ Learner Community Contribution Award at the 2022 SPƵվ Awards.
