Social Skill Saturday Clubs
Therapeutic Forest School Holiday Clubs
Therapeutic Forest School Holiday Clubs
In our Saturday Club, the children engage in a range of therapeutic activities such as outdoor games, den building as well as indoor activities like Lego therapy, baking, art and role play. During these activities friendships can be supported by exploring anything that comes up using a person-centered, non-directive approach.
As we gather with the same children and adults over a long period of time, close relationships are fostered. Real opportunities for connection arise - with each other and with nature - whilst we encourage their autonomy and celebrate individual achievements.
We currently run monthly Saturday Clubs for Kinship Care children.

In our Holiday Clubs, the children engage in a range of bush craft and therapeutic activities. This offer to our community is another way to create connection and belonging in the outdoors. We are proud to create this safe space to process trauma for our participants.
At our Holiday Club older children are enabled to mentor younger children: this way the older children develop their self-esteem and ensure that they are an active useful member of the group.
Additionally, these Holiday Clubs have been created to also provide the carers of our participants with respite and connection to others.
