An app and physical toolkit helping children who've suffered early life trauma feel safe and secure

Absolutely LOVE a Making Day day!

Involving the wider community in the creation of toolkits, building not just beautifully wrapped resources, but therapeutic knowledge and understanding too.

Today we'll be wrapping all the beautiful Make Station resources - Each kit includes 10 individually wrapped activities, one for each session: encouraging creative exploration of a particular theme.

All our volunteers will be given lunch and cake, and today, we're giving away sunflower seeds too!!

Do get in touch if you'd like to find out more about future making days: nicky@growingme.co.uk

The NAVSH Conference showcased some of the amazing work being done around the country to help children who've had a really tough start in life.

I didn't take many pics, but here is Jade Barnett (Power2Prevail CIC) speaking passionately about her own lived experience. Loads of food for thought, particularly around being conscious of our own biases, so as not to compound the prejudices many care-experienced young people from the global majority face.

Compassion, knowledge and determination shone through the event: from speakers to fellow stall holders (shout out to our lovely conference neighbours at Literacy Gold) and of course delegates.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by our stand to find out more about our multi-sensory therapeutic toolkit (www.growingme.org.uk) - Enjoy your sunflower seeds, and look forward to seeing some pictures in a few weeks time... Spread some sunshine!!🌻

There's something so exciting about planting seeds... it still amazes me that there's even a chance that such tiny little things, in a pot of mud, might become big and beautiful flowers in just a few short months! 🌻
