Child to Parent Abuse (CPA) is a form of domestic abuse where a parent, carer or guardian is experiencing abusive behaviours from their child (of any age). In 2021 CPAC was launched off the back of PEGS recognising the impact to working parents, with 70% of those PEGS supported revealing they had to reduce hours or leave employment altogether due to behaviours from their child.
CPAC is a free resource for employers to help their staff or volunteers who may be experiencing CPA. This event is to raise awareness and to provide insight for employers on CPA and the impact on employees.
With a key note talk from PEGS’ founding director, a panel of employers, a fire side chat, lived experience and with attendance from local, regional and national employers across a multitude of sectors, this is an event you will want to be at.

Lights of Love

02/12/23

FREE

Primrose Hospice, B60 3BW

Event Information

Our Lights of Love Appeal is a special way for us to come together as a community at Christmas to remember our loved ones and reflect together.

“There were times in the last year that have just been really tough for all of us. Primrose Hospice has been like a safety blanket. You know from week to week that there is someone there to reassure us we are doing ok.” – David Kershaw

Meet the Kershaw Family, David, Hannah, Olivia, Henry & Sophie who would like to share their experience to help others this Christmas. Primrose Hospice and Family Support Centre has played an absolutely crucial part of my family’s life for the past 6 years, this is our story.

In 2017 my sister-in-law, Becky Kershaw, a busy Mum to two young children and a teacher in a local primary school was diagnosed with bowel cancer. Becky visited the Primrose Hospice regularly, receiving care from the nurses and socialising with other people in similar situations. While supporting Becky the Hospice also extended their care and support to her children, making the world of difference preparing them for their mum’s death in 2019.

Nothing could have prepared any of us for what was about to come next.

In 2022, Stephen my brother, Becky’s husband and Dad to Olivia, Henry & Sophie, died totally unexpectedly of a heart attack. It was a devastating shock to the whole family, but there was never a moment of doubt in our minds, we would take care of Olivia and Henry and Sophie who now lives in Manchester would complete our family.

“Our lives changed forever the day Stephen died and if it hadn’t been for Primrose Hospice I don’t know how we would have coped.” Hannah Kershaw, David’s wife.

In one way or another we all have had support from Primrose. Olivia and Henry have attended therapy sessions, tailored especially for them and delivered at their own pace by incredible counsellors. They have met other children in similar circumstances and taken part in activities designed to help them remember their parents. My wife, Hannah, and I have also support, helping us cope with our own grief, while raising two grieving children.

Family dressed in matching grinch christmas pyjamas

Christmas was always going to be tough. Last year was the children’s first Christmas without both parents and we knew it would be important to make it fun. Olivia showed us her Mum’s perfect technique for stringing the Christmas lights, and Hannah bought us all matching pyjamas. Together we got through it.

For our family the legacy of Primrose’s support means we will always choose to support Primrose Hospice however we can, in remembrance of Becky and Stephen, and for other families, like ours, whose lives have been devastated by the death of a loved one.

Thank you for reading, and, if you can, please consider leaving a tribute to your loved one in this year’s Lights of Love campaign. Your support makes such a difference.

As usual, your dedications will be displayed around our Christmas Trees, in Bromsgrove outside Asda and in the Kingfisher Shopping Centre, Redditch.

Please ensure we receive your dedication by 10th December 2023 to guarantee it’s display around our trees.

Make your dedication here: https://primrosehospicelightsoflove.dedicationpage.org/2023

Saturday 2nd December (Primrose Hospice, Bromsgrove):

Join us for our second Lights of Love Night of Remembrance at Primrose Hospice, B60 3BW. Primrose Hospice will open at 3pm for performances to start from 4pm. You don’t have to have made a dedication to join us at our Night of Remembrance.

Spend an evening to come together and pay tribute to your loved one in the festive surroundings of our stunning and festively lit hospice garden. Hang your bauble on our Christmas Tree in remembrance of your loved ones and watch festive and poignant performances by local musicians and performers.

Increase commitment and motivation

Event Information

Are you are fed-up of being the only person with enthusiasm for your business?

Tired of having to whip-up enthusiasm at every turn?

Is their apathy sapping your motivation?

This online workshop is designed especially for you.

We have decades of experience in researching why people choose to do what they do. We have discovered that – almost without exception – everyone has a heartfelt reason for doing what they do. By discovering that, tapping into it and reconnecting it to how they do it – motivation is re-ignited.

This highly interactive workshop makes you your own guinea pig. We’ll work with you to discover the source of your own motivation and enthusiasm. We’ll show you how that enlightens why you are so driven by what you do.

In learning this technique not only can you apply it to your own team and colleagues, but you can use it for yourself in those moments of demotivation.

Imagine the force your business could be if everyone were on their ‘A’ game. Productivity up, internal relationships sparking, client engagement inspired, sales and margin improved.

Who is this for?

We have designed this interactive event for people who lead organisations or teams of 10 or more people. More likely to be in the business-to-business, business support or education spheres. This is not for the faint hearted, literally. We will be delving into quite emotive topics and understanding how they come to motivate us.

What you will get out of it?

Having run these on a more informal and one-to-one basis before we know that many find the process cathartic or at least self-revelatory. The idea is that by understanding the true source of your own motivations you are enabled to seek, understand and engage the motivation of the people around you. You will have your workbook and the slides from the session to assist you in applying the theory in situ.

What will happen?

Alongside a digital workbook we’ll run through a series of apparently innocent but ultimately searching questions and invite you to think about, note and on a voluntary basis share your responses. Gently, we’ll drill down from the tactical aspects of what you do; through the way you do what you do; and finally to why you do what you do.

You’ll be asked to examine the connection between each of your responses and how they alter each other. And you’ll be given homework to refine your responses into a rationale for how your personal motivation influences how you go about doing what you do, but also the valuable difference in what you do.
