We cannot believe how quickly 2024 has gone by! We have enjoyed having visitors at our usual meeting venue. We attended the Family Fun Day and worked through our 2024 priorities, with some highlights of that work being the Childhood to Adulthood Charter.

December means it is time to celebrate the year we had as a forum! This year’s Unstoppables ‘end of year party’ had a craft table, games, pizza and the Nintendo Switch! Crafts included making Christmas cards, Christmas colouring and decorating wooden decorations.

The games we played were Dobble and Uno – Rosie introduced Sian to Dobble and how to play it! We were very excited at lunch time by Domino’s pizza with thanks to Ruth and the Parent Carer Forum. Then some of us played on the switch in teams, which was slightly competitive but a lot of fun – we did a little dancing on Just Dance and then enjoyed a few games of Mario Party.

We are already looking forward to 2025 to continue our work on sharing our voice and our lived experiences to make a difference to SEND services in Somerset. A massive thank you to all the young people who have been involved with Unstoppables this year, whether that’s members or through other engagement sessions throughout the year 😊

Have a Merry Christmas to those who celebrate, see you in 2025!
