ROAR group is Think2Speak’s social action group for young people in the Gainsborough area. As a group young people look at what the issues and concerns might be for themselves and other young people and come up with ways they might be able to do something about them.

Gainsborough social enterprise Think2Speak has teamed up with celebrated artist Rebecca Strickson to create the Conversation Colouring Book – and we’re giving thousands free to locked-down families in need.

Buy one, donate one books will also help families in need.

The colouring books are full of creative activities, postcards and ideas to encourage families to chat and spend time together. They are being sold with a ‘buy one donate one’ approach so that for every book purchased, a child experiencing food poverty will get a book for free.

Check out some of the words we regularly use, starting with gender and sexuality vocabulary.

Mindful colouring can provide numerous benefits for all ages. Here are some of the Think2Speak team’s favourite illustrators and how they’re helping in these crazy times we are all in together….

We’ve popped some of our favourite signposting resources into a handy sheet for families with children and young people - these are all services and websites that are available free to anyone in England.

We have launched a collection promoting gender diversity and the use of gender pronouns.

The badges are part of a collaboration with celebrated art illustrator Rebecca Strickson, who uses her art to promote important messages on social issues. The new collection ‘Pronouns Matter’ features pin badges, embroidered patches, notebooks and art prints all raising vital funds for Think2Speak’s work with transgender children and young people.

Social enterprise Think2Speak have received £10,000 from the Tampon Tax Community Fund and Lincolnshire Community Foundation to support the creation of resources to aid often difficult conversations around periods. The first resource in the series is for carers of children and young people in care.

Lizzie Jordan, Founder of Think2Speak, said: “Talking about periods can present a challenge for young people, and with some children starting their periods as early as age 8, access to information and support can make a huge difference. We look forward to using this money to create and distribute resources that can have a big impact on people’s lives.”
