💛 Tonkin’s Model of Growing Around Grief 💛

Imagine wearing glasses that change how you see the world — not physically, but mentally. Cognitive distortions are like wearing glasses that make everything look worse than it is.

Stick Man is leaving the family tree and heading to Delamere Forest! 🌲

Join us on Saturday 29 November, 10am–4pm for a day of festive family fun. There’ll be games to play, faces to paint, trails to explore, and plenty of festive fun along the way.

Most importantly, Stick Man himself will be popping up throughout the day. Don’t forget your phone for that selfie moment!

No booking needed. Just turn up and enjoy.
