MGR is joining the nation in celebrating the Coronation of King Charles III. We wish you a happy weekend.
As one of our longest running speakers, Luke has inspired so many young people. Thank you Luke for sharing your story recently at Edgbarrow School. Your audience absolutely loved it! #storytelling
July 2019 we found out our MGR speakers' stories reached 30,481 young people, front line workers and members of the military community. This brought the total audience number to a jaw dropping 53, 487 since starting in 2016. For more photos head over to our other platforms.
MGR speakers Charmaine & Mick delivered a very special session @ChelmerValleyHS "I learnt it is better to let someone know you are not ok than protect people from knowing!" Student feedback. WOW! Thank you both for inspiring and supporting through the gift of storytelling.
Head over to our other social platforms to read about 2018 and a look at some other memory lane photos like this wonderful one of our trainers!!! #MakingGenerationR
Our journey continues into 2017! More speakers, more stories to share to a growing audience. The feedback was tremendous, the programme was evolving. The future looked exciting! Head over to our other social platforms for more photos. #MakingGenerationR
"My group come from a wide variety of backgrounds. Biggest benefits of this talk would be compassion and acceptance." (leader feedback)
MGR speaker Paul spoke to students @PilgrimLincs earlier in the month sharing his story of resilience and over coming his adversity to continue a career that he loves. Could finding what you love to do, evolve into one of your coping strategies? #storytelling #resilience
7 years ago a group of people came together for the very first training session of Making Generation R! Over the next few weeks we will be journeying through the years, looking at some standout moments. Join us on our other social channels for more memories. #MakingGenerationR
#5for5 update!! Wow £1760 raised already #ThankYou and team shirts from @KarutaSports have arrived & @NuroKor devices help me to recover as I up the mileage. 6 weeks until @WelshMarathon. Please keep sharing so we #SupportThoseWhoSupportOthers
Jack spoke at Central Bedfordshire College about ways we cope with challenges and the helpful strategies we use. Discussions are a great way of creating shared knowledge – if your usual go-to coping strategy isn’t working, why not ask a friend what they do and give it a try?
Our speakers have been busy this last half term sharing their stories in schools across the UK. We loved this feedback from our visit to @RydeAcademy - speakers Spike and Luke inspired resilience, and awareness of the achievements people living with a disability are capable of.
The creation of Making Generation R is a story in itself! Click play to listen to this @TheResilienceS podcast snippet, where @thedriveproj founder Alice Driver talks about how the programme came to life with @Blesma Follow @TheResilienceS for full episodes
Its Children’s Mental Health Week and this year the theme is ‘Let’s Connect’. Our speakers find all sorts of connections with the young people they share their stories with. Connecting with others can help us all feel less alone and hopeful as we work through life's challenges
Alumni MGR speaker Hari is set to Climb Mount Everest this May - he will be the first double above knee amputee to attempt the summit. Catch-up on his interview with @achrisevans on @VirginRadioUK to find out more about his story, the climb and how you can support Hari.
