Hair & Care Workshops

In May, the first of Anna Cofone’s Hair and Care Workshops took place in London.

Anna, a stylist to the stars, and her team are providing opportunities for individuals with a vision impairment to learn how to care and style their hair safely.

Smart Raspberry Cookery School

Asma and her team spent a May morning with eight 10-13 year olds teaching them how to bake focaccia and tear ‘n’ share tomato bread.

The food was absolutely delicious and the participants left the session with the ingredients to make it again at home!

Joint Parent Workshop with LOOK UK

VICTA ran a join online parent workshop with LOOK UK themed around combatting loneliness

This workshop was hosted during mental health awareness month. The aim of this collaborative session with LOOK UK was to examine the feelings of isolation and loneliness in our children and also in ourselves as parents. We welcomed a number of guest speakers to share lived experiences, advice and to offer support. 55 people registered for this workshop, the highest number of signups for the parents focused workshop programme so far.
