🥰

We’re so grateful to Cactus Book Club for their wonderful initiative to provide boxes filled with books and thoughtful little treats for young people! 🌵📚

Thanks to their generosity, we are able to receive these beautifully packed boxes and pass them on to the young people aged 16–26 that we support across the North East and Highlands of Scotland. Each box is filled with thoughtful items—like a book 📖, a fidget 😌, flower seeds 🌷, hot chocolate ☕, a self-care postcard 💌, and even a letter from the author 📄—bringing a little light and comfort to those who may be feeling isolated.

We are so grateful to Cactus Book Club for creating this initiative and for their generosity, which makes such a meaningful difference in the lives of the young people we support. 💛

Pick just one tiny thing tonight to help your nervous system realize it is finally time for bed.
(Read at your own risk. I'm like - will it relax me and make me sleepy or will I be up until 5am? It's a toss up.)
