We are really pleased to welcome our new Holistic Wellbeing Worker to the team, Amy.

Amy will be working on our 'Wellbeing Project', which specifically supports with emerging issues such as struggles with self image, self-esteem, appearance-targeted bullying & social media, and explores the importance of holistic wellbeing in relation to mental health and emotional wellbeing.

Our work doesn't stop at the child or young person we work with... it can have a ripple effect across friends and family.

When you learn the skills and put in the practice to improve your own mental health, and see the changes for yourself, you might be able to use this knowledge to help and support others too 💛

It's nearly the Summer Holidays, so we thought we'd share a few ideas of things you can do daily (not all at once!) to support your wellbeing.

Inspired by our recent work in Healing Academy, here are some ideas of how to incorporate the 5 Ways to Wellbeing into our daily lives. The over-arching themes CONNECT, KEEP LEARNING, GIVE, BE ACTIVE & TAKE NOTICE are evidence-backed strategies to support our mental health and wellbeing on a regular basis.

We've provided a few ideas to get you thinking, but there are plenty of other things you could try 🧠❤😊

Some more feedback to say thank you for all that we do. We don't do it for the thanks but we do love hearing that we've made a difference 🌟

10/07/2025

This time last week, we were at Healing Academy delivering workshops as part of their Year 6 to 7 Transition Days. We looked at the Five Ways to Wellbeing, and the pupils wrote letters of thanks to the teachers they are saying goodbye to, played 'get to know you bingo' to make talking to new classmates a bit easier and created positive affirmations button badges or keyrings to bring with them on their first day in September to remind them that they are brave, kind, amazing (insert words of fabulousness here) 💪❤ 🧠

We had a great time at the Skills Fair today, meeting and chatting to students from the secondary schools across the region. What a lovely bunch of young people they were!

Some more lovely feedback for our team 🥰

Seeing the impact our work has on a young person and the follow-on impact in school is exactly what we are here for ☺️
