We are delighted to introduce Lauren who joined our team as a Dramatherapist earlier in the year.

Lauren brings over 15 years of experience as a storyteller, facilitator and artist to her work in Dramatherapy. Her warm, personable approach helps create a safe and welcoming space where people can be themselves, explore their experiences and find their own ways to communicate.

With a playful, gentle and creative approach, Lauren uses story, song, character and play to help people express and explore things they may find difficult to put into words.

We look forward to sharing more about Lauren's work over the next few weeks and months!

Today, we’re delighted to welcome our latest group of prospective adopters and foster carers to our office. 🏡

Our Preparation Groups are an important part of the journey towards adoption or fostering. They provide mandatory training and information, helping prospective families learn more about what’s involved and prepare for the journey ahead.

While “mandatory training” might sound a little daunting, we’ve worked hard to create a welcoming, informative and supportive experience and a space where people can ask questions, share experiences and feel prepared for the next steps.

🌿🎨 What a day of adventures! 🎨🌿

Today our Wee Adventurers got together for plenty of laughs, play, creativity… and, of course, a LOT of mess! 😂🙌

We headed outdoors for a scavenger hunt, searching for different objects to create our very own nature art masterpiece 🌿🍂🎨. There was also time for some football ⚽, lots of imaginative play with our toy figures 🧸 and then things got very messy as we created our amazing cornflour clouds! ☁️🤲

And that wasn’t all… our Teen Group were busy getting started on an exciting new project! 🎭🎶✨ They’re already bursting with fantastic creative ideas and will be exploring play, music and poetry, working towards creating something very special to showcase on stage. We can’t wait to see where their ideas take them!

And what better way to finish the day than with a visit from the lovely Lexie the dog 🐶❤️

What a brilliant bunch of Wee Adventurers and creative teens! 🌟 We’re already looking forward to the next adventure! 💚
