At A Way Out we support our clients, be they women, young
people or families – all year round – and we make sure that we celebrate with
them landmarks in their progress – this could be a young mum gaining the
self-esteem to confidently step outside of her own home and attend an
appointment unaccompanied; a young person having the courage to forget their
past and follow their dreams; a young
woman securing accommodation of her own and living independently; or a woman
celebrating freedom from drug addiction.
Each milestone is a victory to rejoice in and a moment to be remembered.
It is often the small things that make a real difference to
how someone can be feeling – whether they are struggling with a bad day, or
excited over a personal victory.
Receiving an unexpected gift can be that one thing that makes a huge
difference to their day. Sometimes that
gift can be as simple as being on the receiving end of a kind smile, a friendly
nod and a simple ‘Hello’.
Being in the position to pass on a gift, especially when it
is unexpected, is a real ‘feel good’ moment – both for the giver and the
receiver.
Here’s a challenge to be that person who lifts the spirits
of others, to be that person who offers a kindly smile and make a change
someone’s day.
