🌿 Exciting growth is happening at Fern Collective and we are so excited to start sharing as theese steps open up.

The first is that Fern Collective has now got a wonderful and experienced Board of Trustees and had their first meeting, setting clear direction and new pathways to support our neurodiverse community in more capacity!

🌿 With consent, our youth worker Shea let me share this picture!

Sometimes building connection and trust with our rangatahi takes our amazing youth workers to new, uncomfortable and harlious situations lol.

We can see the enjoyment and happiness but also the terrified (do I really want to do this right now) in this photo! Lol love it!

Things don't always go as planned and are sometimes disruptive or hard to navigate, but we are still there alongside our youth, calm (sometimes lol), non judgemental, supportive and will empower their choices, your needs and also wants in their best interest.

Youth led programmes are just wonderful.

🌿 Nature walks and crafts had our youth group filled of joy and delight today with youth workers Mika and Zoe! Foraging for fallen leaves and branches to make nature wreaths.

Not Just for Kids!

The sensory nightlight aren't just for little ones; they bring a calming vibe to any space! After a busy night of paperwork, it transformed my office into a serene retreat.

The soothing colors and gentle sounds help me unwind and refocus, making it the perfect addition to my work environment.

Whether it's for children or adults, these nightlights create a peaceful atmosphere that everyone can enjoy!

🌿 Our everything comfortable tray is such a huge hit at the hub, from resources, fidgets, sweets and changed weekly, it's always talked about and brings delight to our short waits between appointments!

What would make you comfortable in our bits basket?

🌿 Today was a day for prep. Educating on addiction and wellness. The WRAP ... wellness, recovery, action plan provides solid foundations. Of course I always add a spin to it!

🌿 Today we popped into EVO bikes. Mike was straight on the game, he had loads of information about the "fatboy" bikes. He was beyond friendly and incredibly accepting without any pressure. He invited our Fern to go for a ride on the bike, explaining about safety and wearing a helmet.

High five Mike! You made this young Ferns day if not his week.
