Recent adoption data has shown a sharp 22% increase in the number of children who have not yet been matched with a forever family.   To combat the fall of people coming forward to adopt, and to mark this year’s National Adoption Week, Freuds+, Freuds Social and Atomized Studios, launched You Can Adopt’s latest campaign, ‘The Journey’, to highlight that the road to a family doesn’t have to be a traditional one and that they can come in all shapes and sizes.   To demonstrate just how rewarding adoption can be, we sourced adoptive families from across the country to share their inspiring journeys through a new film and a suite of social-first assets, showing how they, like all families, experience ups, downs, and detours throughout their lifelong journey.    #NationalAdoptionWeek #YouCanAdopt

A stroke strikes every five minutes in the UK, yet over a quarter (26%) of people are not confident in recognising the signs. Freuds+ has supported NHS England to launch a campaign urging the public to act FAST on any sign of a stroke by calling 999 immediately for lifesaving treatment. A powerful new film developed with Atomized Studios features stroke survivors Dionne, John, and Tracy reflecting on their real-life 999 calls and how quick action saved their lives. The footage highlights the importance of acting FAST, as every minute is vital. The average time between the first stroke symptom and a 999 call is nearly 90 minutes. The film emphasises that a stroke symptom, like difficulty raising an arm, smiling, or slurred speech, can be less obvious than expected. Any sign of a stroke is always an emergency. Face or Arm or Speech, at the first sign, it's Time to call 999. For more information about stroke, visit: www.nhs.uk/ActFAST.

From showcasing our favourite Black-owned businesses in The Club to enjoying delicious Jamaican patties for lunch, this month has been full of celebrations for Black History Month at Freuds Group.    📢 We bought and displayed products from Black-owned businesses in our Club area. Each product was accompanied with a card detailing the story behind each business, along with a QR code that directed you to their online store for more information.    📚 Freudians borrowed and enjoyed books written by British Black authors from our new Black History Month library.   🍽️ Everyone enjoyed a huge variety of food and drinks from Black-owned catering businesses, including BBQ chicken and jollof rice from Papi's Restaurant & Grill , tasty baked goods from Dee’s Basement, and Jamaican patties from the Jamaican Patty Co.    🗓️ We hosted and shared a series of free events celebrating Black narratives, featuring panel discussions and community groups focused on the impact of Black business, literature, and film on British culture.    While the month may be over, we remain committed to celebrating and supporting Black-owned businesses all year long, continuing to honour the rich history, culture, and contributions of the Black community. A huge thanks to the Culture Club team for organising!   #BlackHistoryMonth #SupportBlackOwnedBusinesses #FreudsGroup
