Title of the story/ Movie: Amanda’s Story

Write a brief summary of the story:

Amanda and her three-year-old daughter Serena have recently become homeless and placed
in B&B accommodation where there are no cooking facilities so they live on sandwiches and fast food.
Serena goes to pre-school every afternoon but apart from that the family was not getting out of the
B&B. They now come to us every morning and stay for their lunch. Mum is starting to make friends here
and is coming out of her shell in the parenting classes. We are encouraging her to take part in cooking
sessions so that she can take some prepared meals home. Serena didn’t settle very quickly into the
nursery, she was snatching toys from other children and was quite disruptive. She couldn’t sit to listen
to a short story, and sitting at the table for lunch with the other children was a big challenge as it was so
unfamiliar. Over time she has grown in confidence with the praise she receives from the nursery staff;
they set her achievable goals that have allowed her to succeed. She can now listen to a story all the way
through, sit with the others for lunch without being disruptive, and she is a much happier girl. The
regular routine of attending the nursery has helped her grown in confidence and improved her social
skills. The support Mum has received here has made her more open and relaxed, which in turn has
enabled Serena to flourish
