Although we are extremely lucky to have the benefit of a partnership with imatta, allowing us to offer to the children we support bespoke, online support with their trauma and grief, we believe that children can be supported with their trauma in lots of other ways too.
Gardening can be hugely therapeutic and we have therefore started work with some of our children to create a new garden area at Leon House, as well as more window boxes and hanging baskets than you can count!
In addition, through our day to day work with the children we support their love for arts and crafts, colouring and baking has become apparent. As nothing is too much trouble when it comes to supporting our children, we have set about creating an arts and crafts ‘club’, made sure there are brand new drawing and colouring pencils with ‘grown up’ colouring books and our brilliant staff are arranging cooking and baking sessions.
We will provide updates from these groups in coming blogs.
