At our Woodland Oasis this week we used a bow saw and palm drills to create our own wood cookies. These were decorated and will be hung on our natural CYAG tree back at HQ!! ๐ŸŒด

We also played countless games of capture the flag, requiring our young people to think creatively and strategically, using team work skills to achieve their goal and win. It was great to see them working together and listening to one anothers ideas ๐Ÿ’ก

Happy Belated July Volunteer of the Month for Martin James, who joined us in June. He volunteered for a whopping 71 hours, on top of his full time role, and settled in well with our team and young members.

Without wonderful people like Martin, CYAG would be unable to run its charitable activities! Thank you Martin for all you do... You ROCK ๐Ÿชจ ๐ŸŽธ ๐Ÿ’ช ๐Ÿ˜Ž ๐Ÿ™Œ โค๏ธ

Our young people need you! Do you have any unused, preloved inline skates or roller boots you can donate?? โ›ธ๏ธ

These would need to be in good working order, perhaps a pair you or your children have grown out of or stopped using and won't need. ๐Ÿค”

We have two drop off points for your preloved skates/boots:

Tomorrow, our Weekend Wanderers will be heading back to the Woodland Oasis in Wycoller for a few hours of adventure, fun and nature ๐ŸŒฒ๐ŸŒณ

We will set off from CYAG at 10am and we aim to finish in Wycoller at around 1pm, returning at CYAG by approximately 1.30pm. Please bring along a drink and some lunch as we will be unable to provide food over a camp fire with the recent dry weather and risks of forest fire ๐Ÿ”ฅ

See you tomorrow!

Last week, during our HAF program, our young people worked in groups with Tracy's picky pad's to create these wonderful Picky Pads in aid of Pendleside Hospice. Our young people learned about Pendleside Hospice and the wonderful things they do whilst making these beautiful patterns to raise money for such a wonderful cause.

It turned out to be a mindful and calming activity that all of them really enjoyed โค๏ธ

๐Ÿ‘‰ Picky pads are tactile fidget toys designed to provide a safe, satisfying substitute for compulsive picking behaviors. They are typically made of silicone or gelatin filled with small beads, glitter, or little objects that users can pick, peel, and dig out with their fingers or tweezers.

Main Uses and Benefits:

โœจ๏ธRedirecting Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors: They help individuals with dermatillomania (compulsive skin picking), trichotillomania (hair pulling), or nail-biting by keeping hands busy and satisfying the urge to pick.

โœจ๏ธ Anxiety and Stress Relief: The repetitive, focused motion of digging out small embedded pieces provides sensory regulation and calms nervous energy.

โœจ๏ธ Focus and ADHD Support: They act as a quiet, pocket-sized sensory tool to improve concentration during work or study.

๐ŸŒŸ What an incredible day at our HAF session yesterday! ๐ŸŒŸ

We had a beautiful balance of calm focus, teamwork, and high-energy fun.

Here is what our amazing young people got up to:

๐Ÿง˜ Sensory Focus & Mindfulness

We hosted a brilliant Picky Pads workshop in small groups with Tracy's picky pad's! ๐Ÿคซ

Picky Pads are silicone pads filled with beads to pick out, designed to support calm concentration for those with anxiety or sensory differences.

Honestly, we have never seen the group so quiet and focused!

๐ŸŒฒ Woodland Teamwork

Working together, the group put up hammocks in our woodland area. They spent some peaceful time practicing mindfulness, using their senses to completely absorb nature.

๐Ÿšด Active Energy & Games

Of course, we had to burn off some energy too! We got the bikes out and had a blast playing competitive sports and team games.

๐Ÿณ Fuelled by Rachel

No good day is complete without good food! Our amazing cook, Rachel, served up some wonderful meals, with some fantastic help from our young people in the kitchen.

We are so proud of how well everyone worked together, listened, and supported each other! ๐Ÿ’š

On Saturday, our Weekend Wanderers became a Woodland adventure, ๐ŸŒฒ๐ŸŒณ as we played team games and explored in ou Woodland Oasis at Wycoller Country Park ๐Ÿ˜€

We played games of Eagle Eye and Capture the Flag. We chilled mindfully in hammocks, listening to nature and we continued working on some past dens ๐Ÿ•

We feel so lucky to have access to such a peaceful and natural space โœจ๏ธ
