Among the Youth Presence 'Together Towards Year 7' sessions delivered this week, the young people have been developing their awareness of a range of feelings and thinking about their support networks. Perhaps you might resonate with a few of these emotion monsters!

Always a pleasure to work with St Thomas's CE Primary School St Mark's School, Natland Stramongate Primary School Dean Gibson RC Primary School Castle Park School Vicarage Park Church of England Primary School and Heron Hill Primary School.

Thanks to Westmorland and Furness Council Scott Trust Kendal Town Council and The Roselands Trust for their continued generosity and support towards the project.

We are delighted to promote Mental Health Foundation Awareness Week.

Youth Presence has always placed a huge emphasis on the importance of connection. Whether it be through our groups, projects or community offers, we know how important it is to encourage all our young people to support their own well-being or signpost to appropriate support.

One of our young people produced this amazing piece of art when asked 'What does bravery mean to you?'
