At Hidden Gems, our 1-2-1 sessions offer children and young people a safe, nurturing space to explore who they are through creativity.

We work with those who are neurodivergent or experiencing poor mental health, using art as a form of communication, self-expression and confidence-building especially when words feel hard.

Together, we explore what brings calm, joy and relief… and when we find that spark, we run with it 💎

Because creativity can be powerful, healing and life changing

Hidden Gems Bereavement Support Group 💎

Our creative bereavement support group takes place at The Alder Centre Alder Hey Children’s Hospital every Tuesday evening (term time)
5:30 – 7:30pm

A safe, supportive space for children and young people who have been affected by the death of a child. Through art, crafts and creativity, we help young people express their feelings, connect with others, and just be children again.

It’s gentle, creative, crafty and FUN ✨

“I’ve no idea how to quantify it…it’s an energy thing”

This message from a parent really stopped me in my tracks. Creating calm, safe, creative space where children and young people can simply be themselves is at the heart of our 1-2-1 art sessions.

Seeing a child thrive, feel comfortable, and find joy through creativity is everything. It’s why Hidden Gems CIC exists 💎

✨ Our first bauble sponsor! ✨

A huge thank you to the wonderful Kindness Rocks for being the very first to sponsor a bauble on our Hidden Gems Virtual Christmas Tree 🌲

Just like the message in her beautiful book, kindness can truly rock the world! Your support helps us continue spreading creativity, connection and care through our community projects. 🫶

Every bauble on our tree represents a business, organisation or individual helping us make a difference this festive season, funding creative wellbeing sessions for children, families and those navigating grief, neurodiversity and poor mental health.

Head over to on Instagram to see the fab work she’s doing and how she’s inspiring kindness through story!

Want to join the kindness movement?

🎃👻 Alder’s Hidden Gems: Halloween Edition! 👻🎃

Last night was all about pumpkins, potions and plenty of giggles! We painted pumpkins, decorated spooky biscuits and of course played our favourite… bingo! 🧙‍♀️ This week’s bingo caller was Freya the Witch! 🪄

Our weekly get-together offers bereaved children a safe and supportive space to be around others who truly understand, a place to express emotions, create, and most importantly, have fun. ❤️

We are off next week for half term and back the week later to prepare for our exhibition in November 🎨

Cuteness overload ❤️

Last night at Alder Hidden Gems, our group of incredible young people explored the theme of connection through creativity making patterned paper people 💎🎨

The cut out people, have been put into these cute pictures giving them their own personalities and stories.

A gentle, creative way to talk about love, loss, and the bonds that remain even when someone is no longer with us.
