Take a look at these beautiful treasure boxes created by some of the young people we work with!

Treasure boxes are a wonderful way for children and young people to remember a loved one by filling them with special keepsakes, memories and meaningful trinkets. They can also be used to celebrate self-esteem, with positive affirmations, achievements and reminders of the things that make them unique.

Why not try making a treasure box together with your child over the summer holidays?

Ruth and Anna from our team had a great time at Ark Boulton Academy for their Arts Festival yesterday! For the past 2 years, the school have very kindly been raising money for us. We took along info about our services, a treasure box activity and a very popular 'name the Capybara' game! Thank you Ark Boulton Academy for having us!
