A gorgeous collaborative piece from last week’s session
Everyone had free rein to create whatever they liked, using wax crayons, felt tips, acrylic pens and paint. All the individual squares came together beautifully — a colourful patchwork full of personality and creativity.

As promised, here is a photo of the final piece...

First stage of our jellyfish project 🪼

This week we started building our jellyfish sculptures, created by our new volunteer, Josie Black, who prepared beautiful ready‑made kits for everyone to assemble.

The activity uses so many different skills — following instructions, problem‑solving, assembling pieces, crochet, plaiting and knot‑tying. Next week we’ll move on to painting, embroidering and adding beads or embellishments… if they want to. As always, there are choices and everyone can make theirs their own.

They’re already looking wonderful. Huge thanks to Josie and to Ilse Black and Louisa Lindsey- Clark for your donations🙂🫶

Watch Josie Black prepare her wonderful jellyfish kits ready for Wednesday! so clever and ingenious - can't wait to see how we all get on with the construction and even introduce a bit of simple crochet. Thanks Josie

Painting our paper mâché faces last session brought so much chatter, laughter and growing friendships. Everyone’s creations were full of personality. We finished with a game of Pictionary — always a winner and everyone gets a turn.

Welcome to all our new followers — we’re so glad you’re here. As a relatively new group, every bit of interest and support makes a huge difference.
Please do spread the word if you can. It helps more neurodivergent girls and families discover a space that’s calm, creative and supportive.🙂🙏

Masking is common in autistic and ADHD girls — hiding overwhelm, copying others, pushing through. School can be exhausting, we offer somewhere to relax. In Girls Group, they don’t have to mask. They can just be themselves.

A brilliant session this week with our paper‑mâché faces — everyone got stuck in after a slow start and the creativity was fantastic to see. From ladybirds to sharks to portrait faces, the ideas were flowing and the room was full of chatter and humour. Huge thanks to Rosie and Lorraine for their great energy and support. We’ll continue next week with decorating, so looking forward to seeing the pieces come to life.
