Over the last 12 months it has amazed me how independently the young people who attend TurnAround have engaged in activities when they are given choice. Choice about when they complete a task, how they complete a task and whether that have to take part in the task at all. With a low pressure approach to engagement every young person is engaging in something!

Today we had lots of options: making pizza wraps, tattoos, nail painting, hair colouring, board games, art, animal therapy and watching a film.

Another wonderful Monday!

A few away today but I was told by one of my young people “this has been my favourite one so far.”

Andy taught us how to make pressblechs and talked us through the interesting history behind how and why they were originally made. We made flatbreads which were enjoyed with some dips at the end of the session and a variety of animal therapies including a visit from Everything Rosie Coaching & Consultation always makes Mondays more fun.

What a lovely surprise I had today at TurnAround! The group had found out it is my birthday this week and so I was presented with not one cake but two, a card and a rendition of Happy Birthday. How thoughtful.

In other news, fairy cakes, planting and games were lots of fun too! 😆
