 | University research projects | 61 Tage her | ||
| ||||
| Thursday, 24 September 2009 University research projects A researcher from Reading University has been working with several U-Too young couples as part of a year-long investigation into the lives of young parents in rural areas. Phoebe is a young mother herself so is well aware of the pressures that come with parenthood. Here she is with Tash, Pat and Harley in Melksham after a three hour visit to Trowbridge College where Tash and Pat are now both enrolled on courses - but not before some major hassles involving complications around benefits and travel costs. Phoebe is also seeing Dan and Zuzu in Salisbury, Damian and Gemma in Westbury, Will and Aurora in Trowbridge, Stuart and Leia in Melksham, and Josh and Terri in Calne. We are looking forward to seeing the results of her research in due course. Another researcher, based at King's College, London but working for the Government Office South West, has interviewed Chris in Calne as part of her study about lifestyles and young fatherhood. | ||||

| Healthy Eating! | 61 Tage her | ||

| Healthy Eating! Last night Anthony was preparing his gourmet version of spag bol. Here he is with his FRESH ingredients, including mince, chopped onions and green pepper. It's always a bit of a trial for me to go round to see him and Chelsey in the evening, as I don't get home to eat till after I've seen them, because there are usually mouth-watering smells wafting out of their kitchen. | ||||

| NCLP Internal Verifier report | 61 Tage her | ||
| ||||
| Sunday, 16 August 2009 NCLP Internal Verifier report Once again U-Too was given a really positive report for their Young Mums To Be and Parents With Prospects courses. Comments include: This centre is providing excellent support for the candidates. It is clear to see all tutors are dedicated to their work. The candidates' portfolios are of a consistently high standard. Links with external agencies in Salisbury are excellent. This centre has excellent achievement results and shows best practice in assessment. So thanks once again to our team of tutors, Alison, Jayne, Lesley, Sue, for maintaining such high standards, to Zoe for her support and excellent outreach work, and to Carolyn for making sure the show stays on the road. | ||||

| Baby Massage Course takes place | 61 Tage her | ||

| Baby Massage Course takes place Three couples came to the course at Studley Green Children's Center in Trowbridge. Marcus, JJ and Nickolas came by train from Swindon, via Bath Spa. Anthony, Chelsey and Laila came from Calne, and Will, Aurora and Connor came from Trowbridge. Three other couples hoped to attend but various bits of life got in the way. Chelsey said she and Anthony "loved the baby massage. Laila was really relaxed all day and was as good as gold!" Aurora came despite having an unpleasant cold and all three couples picked up some useful techniques to use with their children. Thanks go to Niall for setting up the course and to Catherine for running it. Chelsey massages Laila's legs and tummy watched by an attentive Anthony. Mark does the same with Nickolas, watched by Catherine and JJ | ||||

| Lijit - who's visiting us? | 114 Tage her | ||
| ||||
| Sunday, 19 July 2009 Lijit - who's visiting us? Here's a new 'wigit' called 'lijit' (scroll down the page on the left) that should show us where visitors to the blog come from, what's most interesting to people, and what else is interesting on the websites we've mentioned in 'useful links' ... Or you can just click 'surprise me' and it opens a surprise page from any of our linked sites. It could search other sites, flickr, things like that.. let me know if there's something i should add. John suggested the original counter back in the early days of the blog, and that's been a great way to see the impact. I hope this one might be interesting too... | ||||

| We won!! | 143 Tage her | ||
| ||||
| Friday, 3 July 2009 We won!! Jackie's beaten me to it! U-Too Dads have done it again - so congratulations to everyone who has made this possible - particularly to those of you who insisted on making Dads Matter Too, to all eleven of you who took part, and to Jackie who filmed us and put it together so well. The Awards evening was even more nerve wracking than we anticipated because we were the very last group to be announced as Award winners. Marcus gave a short, but memorable, speech outlining the impact that he feels that U-Too has had on his life. A considerable number of people came up to him afterwards to say how moved they had been by what he said. | ||||
