Jacqui O Florals | Jacqui Owen
“Every single commission begins with the person.” In this episode, we're joined by Jacqui Owen, founder and creative force behind Jacqui O, an award-winning floral design studio based in Cheshire. Jacqui creates distinctive floral experiences for weddings, events and meaningful occasions, combining creativity and design with a strong commitment to sustainability. Jacqui's journey began on a family farm in Cheshire, where a childhood surrounded by nature, flowers and a practical, hands-on approach to life helped shape the person she is today. After studying design, working in visual merchandising at John Lewis and discovering floristry through evening classes, her first wedding commission for her sister became the starting point for a business she launched in 2013. This is a conversation about creativity, sustainability, community and the importance of doing things in your own way. From her childhood on the farm to becoming an award-winning floral designer, Jacqui's story is a reminder that small changes can make a difference, and that the most meaningful creations are often the ones that tell a personal story. https://www.jacquio.co.uk/ 07540 441112 https://www.instagram.com/jacquioflorals/ https://www.facebook.com/JacquiOflorals/ Podcasting isn’t about expensive studios, fancy equipment or perfect backdrops.

Baby Squids Staffordshire & Nantwich | Margarita King
“Swimming isn't just a hobby. It is, in fact, its own lifesaving skill in itself.” In this episode, we're joined by Margarita King, the proud owner of Baby Squids Staffordshire and Nantwich, where she delivers swimming lessons for babies and young children, helping them develop water confidence and essential swimming skills from an early age. Released on Baby Squids Staffordshire and Nantwich's first birthday (November 3rd 2026), this episode looks back at Margarita's journey into teaching swimming, bringing together her love of the water, her theatrical background and her experience in education and child development. We talk about how she built her own Baby Squids franchise, what makes the lessons different, and why they are about so much more than songs, games and splashing around. We discuss the importance of water safety, supporting children with additional needs, and making swimming lessons inclusive and accessible. Margarita explains how she adapts sessions to suit each child's development and confidence, while creating a welcoming space where parents can connect, share experiences and feel supported. From the challenges of starting a business to the pride of building something that reflects her own values, Margarita shares her passion for helping every child progress at their own pace. We also hear about her plans for Baby Squids in the local area, including her ambition to create a dedicated swimming centre in the future. This is a conversation about water safety, inclusion, confidence and community, and the importance of giving children skills that can stay with them throughout their lives. https://www.babysquids.co.uk/ staffs@babysquids.co.uk 07849 160945 https://www.facebook.com/babysquidsstaffsandnantwich/ https://www.instagram.com/babysquidsstaffsandnantwich/ Podcasting isn’t about expensive studios, fancy equipment or perfect backdrops.

Together Fundraising | Carole Salmon
“It's all about telling the story, getting people involved and then seeing the impact that's made.” In this episode we’re joined by Carole Salmon, founder of Together Fundraising, an organisation working with charities, community groups and purpose-led organisations to help them raise money, awareness and create sustainable impact. Carole shares her journey into fundraising, drawing on more than twenty years of experience in events, business development, and community engagement. She explains why fundraising is about much more than asking for money, and how the right connections, partnerships and a clear plan can help organisations achieve far more than they might think possible. We talk about the challenges facing small local charities, the importance of storytelling in helping people understand the difference their support can make, and why fundraising doesn't need to be complicated. Carole also shares practical advice for charities working with limited resources, the value of businesses supporting their local communities, and why even a no can bring you one step closer to a yes. This is a conversation about people, relationships, community and the power of bringing people together for a common cause. It's a reminder that when we understand the impact we can make, whether through our time, skills, products or donations, we can all play a part in making a difference. https://togetherfundraising.co.uk/ If you would like to feature as guest on a future episode of This Place, Our Voices, submit your application via our form: https://forms.gle/L33hrKYaV5Z8qq9r5 "This Place, Our Voices" Credits: Host: Elyssa Germain Produced By: OneZeroCreative https://www.onezerocreative.co.uk/

Clay-Zy Day Studio | Samantha Jackson
"...mindfulness of silence in your own moment." In this episode we’re joined by Samantha Jackson, founder of Clay-Zy Day Studio in Nantwich, a creative space where people can discover pottery, switch off from everyday pressures and enjoy making something with their own hands. Samantha shares how pottery became a way to escape the stresses of a demanding career and how a small studio grew into a welcoming community where people of all ages and abilities can explore their creativity. From hand-building and wheel throwing to making pottery more affordable and accessible, Samantha explains why the experience is about so much more than the finished pot. We talk about the impact of working with clay on mental wellbeing, the friendships that develop around the table, and the people who have discovered new skills and confidence despite believing they couldn't do it. Samantha also shares how the Nantwich community has helped her business grow and her ambitions to take clay-based activities into schools, care homes and community groups. This is a conversation about creativity, connection, community and the importance of taking time for yourself. It’s a reminder that you don't have to be an artist to give something new a go, and that sometimes, switching off from the world and getting your hands dirty can make all the difference.
