Deben Radio CIC

Sometimes things happen by accident. That is how I became involved with teaching neurodevelopment. My son was diagnosed with dyslexia when he was six and I was told there was nothing that could be done. I did not believe that and went in search of answers.

I came across Svea Gold, a brilliant and wonderful mother who had had an autistic son and, like me, wanted to help him. Svea had been teaching neurodevelopment for 40 years and she taught me what I needed to help my son. Soon my phone began ringing and other parents who had heard about what I had done for my son, wanted me to help them. I realised some months later that I had built an accidental practice. And now five years later, there is another need and I have developed the programme of movements I use, into an exercise class for all. I have helped children, adolescents and adults all over the world. I have many amazing stories to tell about this journey, and some of them are written by others in the testimonials.

What I do know is that this programme has been helping people for decades, and it could help you too, whether you have a child that needs it or whether you want to train so you can help others. Sue Cook BSc (Hons) Lic LCCH

The Deben Radio area has many people and businesses outstanding for their enterprise and creativity. In this series of interviews entitled ‘Seems Good To Me’ John Saul talks to people who are especially good at what they do.

The Cake Shop family-run business has been in Woodbridge since 1946. It has made everything from the plain 'national loaf' of those days to the sophisticated, popular 'Suffolk trencher' of today, described here by manager Simon as the nearest to an Anglo-Saxon loaf you can get. John talks to Simon and Peter, the owner of the Cake Shop, about the bread and cakes, and how the enterprise has survived and thrived. The shop in the Thoroughfare is open from 7 to 4.30, Monday to Friday, and on Saturdays to 3.30. It has an excellent website at www.cakeshopbakery.co.uk

John Saul speaks to Geoff Witts of the Re+new gallery as part of John's 'Seems Good To Me' series of interviews. 

Woodbridge is fortunate in having a unique design gallery in the centre of town. Work by talented Suffolk artists is regularly on show and on sale at Re+new at 63a The Thoroughfare. Begun three years ago by Geoff Witts, Re+new presents contemporary art by artists living and working in the Deben Radio area, together with its own-brand stationery, hand-crafted locally, and items of design furniture, both new and mid twentieth century classics. Open Tuesday to Saturday from 9.30 to 5.30.
