✨It’s a wrap for summer term for our EOTAS students ✨.

Each one has been celebrated this week as we send them off for a well-deserved summer break 🎉.

A huge well done to every single young person - the progress made this year has been outstanding and it’s been a privilege to witness.
Massive thanks to all our parents and carers for your ongoing support and our brilliant team-work approach 👏.

We’re looking forward to some exciting summer meet-ups and activities…
But for now, it’s time for a well-earned rest - even for Ralf 😴🐶!

Huge congratulations to Tia and her gorgeous puppy Rupert who have achieved the APDT - Association of Pet Dog Trainers Puppy Good Companion Award with Vickie 👏🙌.
What a fantastic success ✨.

Being qualified as both a dog trainer and teacher, Vickie is perfectly placed to incorporate dog training into some of her sessions and our young people love this opportunity.

Did you know that it’s not just the dogs who benefit from training sessions?
Benefits of positive dog training for young people include:

✅Builds Confidence - Watching a dog respond to their cues helps young people believe in themselves.
✅ Teaches Responsibility - Feeding, walking, and training a dog encourages routine and accountability.
✅ Improves Communication -practicing giving clear, calm instructions that dogs can understand.
✅ Encourages Patience & Empathy - dogs learn at their own pace which helps young people develop their own patience and understanding of others.
✅ Strengthens Bonds - training deepens the human-animal connection, offering emotional support and companionship 🧠❤️.
✅ Skills for life - settting them up with real world skills that will benefit them now and in the future.

All while having loads of fun together - pawfect ✨ .

Love this - well done everyone 👏

Wow! Some gorgeous photos of some of the dog team at the party yesterday from our incredible student volunteer photographer, Tom 🤩.

We have, in order, Jessie, Amber, Reggie, Lucky and Olive with Amber.
It is so lovely to have such great pics of these guys 💕.
Tom certainly has a gift at capturing their lovely expressions 📸.

I’m feeling so proud of all our young people and how fantastic they all are 🥹! Every one did brilliantly today.

We are so looking forward to this celebration on Wednesday 🎉🎈🐾!
It will be lovely to see you there.

FAQ:
What is it:
It’s an open day afternoon at our main base in Crewe celebrating 12 years of helping children, young people and families. It is also the retirement party of two of our lovely therapy dogs - Tuco and Amber.

When is it:
Wednesday 16th July. It opens at 1pm - closes 4pm.
Stay as little or as long as you like.

What’s on:
Goody bags, meet the team (humans and dogs!) and find out about what we do, check out our indoor and outdoor spaces, pup cake decorating, outdoor games, drinks and biscuits, crafts - bead making, paw print decorating, glitter tattoos, bath salts making and colouring.

We will have a quieter area for those who would benefit from one and please feel free to pop in and out as suits your families needs.

Cost:
It’s free of charge.

Are all welcome:
Yes, anyone with any link to CAT past, present or future is very welcome. We do ask that under 18’s are supervised please and parents / carers remain responsible for their child.

Are dogs welcome:
Sadly we are asking you to NOT bring your own dog as the building will have the CAT dogs there and it would not be fair to invite other dogs into the space. You are very welcome to decorate a doggy biscuit to take home for your furry friends.
There will be plenty of dogs to meet and learn about 🐾.

Where is it:
Creative Action Team, 58-60 Timbrell Avenue, Crewe, CW1 3LX

The weather is fortunately looking a much more acceptable temperature for everyone next Wednesday at 21 degrees!
We hope you stay cool this weekend ☀️and we look forward to seeing you then.

🌟 Meet Nic - Our Outreach Support Worker 🌟

Not all support happens in a setting or at school - and that’s where Nic comes in.
As part of our outreach team, Nic offers personalised, one-to-one support for young people outside of a setting environment. Whether it’s a walk with her lovely dogs, a trip out for food, or just time spent chatting and building trust, Nic meets young people where they feel comfortable 🐾🍔🌿.

Nic is a highly qualified and experienced social worker by training and has supported children and families holistically since 2007. This support can be part of a transition into education and further therapeutic input at CAT, or a stand-alone service tailored to each individual.
From life skills coaching to emotional support, Nic is here to walk alongside young people at their own pace - with compassion, consistency and care 💛.

For many, this gentle, real-world approach is the first step toward re-engagement, confidence and growth - and it works.

We offer outreach in addition to:
- Animal assisted therapy
- Alternative provision education
- School’s group work
- Play therapy
- Creative /talking therapy
- Combined packages of support

🍃Growing Together 🍃

Our garden is buzzing with life – quite literally 🐝. Brought to life by the staff, young people and amazing parent helpers. From blooming herbs to curious insects, this space is a living classroom for our students. Together, we’ve been identifying, planting, nurturing and watching our garden grow. This learning is hands-on about nature, sustainability and the magic of plants.

We’re especially proud of how we’re using the herbs we grow – from fresh herbal teas to calming tinctures, every product is made with care and curiosity - inspired by one of our student’s interests 🍃☕.
It’s incredibly rewarding to see students not only connect with the earth but also with the process of creating something useful and natural from it.

Watching the bees and butterflies visit the flowers they’ve helped grow gives our students a real sense of purpose, responsibility and appreciation of the natural world 🌸💚.

This project has sparked so much enthusiasm, creativity and new interests - and we’re just getting started 🌱.
Next we hope to get stuck in with more fruit and veg growth too!

The first 3 pics are taken by one of our fantastic young people - Tom - thanks for taking the beautiful photos of the bee and moths (and identifying them as a mint moth and a swallow-tail 🤩). 👏.

🎉🎂 Happy 11th Birthday to Tuco 🐾💙

He’s had a lovely day filled with cake, presents and plenty of tail wags. Thank you to everyone who helps make his days so special.
Here’s to our lovely chocolate boy and all the love he shares - he hopes lots of his friends can see him (and Amber) for their retirement party next week! 🥳🎁🐶
