Oops, we sent you the wrong newsletter!
Hello everyone,
Firstly, our apologies! We accidentally sent out our Bloom newsletter to our Chayn newsletter subscribers today—call it an end-of-year mind melt. We hope you can still get something from looking back on Bloom and our new year affirmations. You can subscribe to the Bloom newsletter for future editions here.
We’ve got a little update on all things Chayn here! We’ll share a full newsletter in January.
2022 Highlights
We launched the new and expanded version of our Manipulation is Abuse guide!
Bloom: you have all the updates because of our mistake!
We launched Orbits—a global field guide to advance intersectional, survivor-centred, and trauma-informed interventions to tech abuse with End Cyber Abuse.
We released our organisational strategy (2022-25) which was co-produced with many of you!
Our podcast “Less than 2 percent”, exploring the experiences of survivors of sexual assault in the UK, went live. And guess what? We just won FIVE Lovie Awards for this project! The Lovie Awards honour the best of the European Internet, and we’ve won the following awards: Gold Lovie and People's Lovie Winner in Podcasts: Best Co-Hosts; Gold Lovie and People's Lovie Winner in Podcasts: Public Service & Activism; a Silver Lovie Winner in Podcasts: Crime & Justice.
Our Founder and CEO, Hera Hussain, was awarded the prestigious Ashoka Fellowship.
And if you are not following us on our social media accounts already - what are you waiting for?
Chayn’s Winter Wind Down
After a year full of new highs for Chayn, our team is taking a break! We’re going for our winter wind down from 19th December 2022 to 9th January 2023.
Chayn's annual Winter Wind Down is a period of purposeful rest and reflection the team uses to look back on our year, learn new skills, read, write and do visioning that often gets missed in day-to-day work. During this time our team will be working at reduced capacity, so please bear with us if we’re slow in responding to you. We’ll take this time to rejuvenate ourselves and come back with a new charged up energy on 9th January 2023!
If you’ve appreciated our work this year and want to help sustain us in 2023, you can support us by sharing on your socials (we’ve created a starter pack to help you out), and donating to Chayn via PayPal or GitHub.
Wishing you all a period of rest, healing and recovery too.
The Chayn Team
