Next Tuesday, Built for You Wellness Day will provide a range of creative and calming activities to help young care-experienced people explore different ways of supporting their wellbeing!

We want to introduce you to the wonderful workshop partners behind those experiences.

Louise from Right Resolution CIC will be leading a journaling class!

Through simple journaling techniques, Louise will encourage participants to get creative, feel confident and explore new ways of self-expression. It’s a chance to put pen to paper and tell your story, discovering how writing can become a useful tool for maximising wellbeing.

Write it out for You.

Trauma doesn’t always have words.
Sometimes it’s just there, and talking about it isn’t the only way through.

That’s why creativity is such an important part of our Built for You Wellness Day.

Activities, workshops, and exercises that give you an alternative outlet to express your personality, emotions and perspectives in an engaging environment free of judgement and stress.

For young people who’ve grown up in care, that matters. So much of your story has already been told by others. This is space to make something that’s entirely yours.

What helps you feel safe?

It could be a place, a person, being creative, spending time outdoors, or simply having somewhere you don’t feel like you have to be anything other than yourself.

That’s the thinking behind Built for You.

We’re exploring what safety actually means to you. Through activities, wellbeing workshops, space to reflect, and most importantly meeting and talking with others who share those experiences of growing up in care.

If you’re comfortable sharing, we’d love to know:
What’s one thing that helps you feel emotionally safe? Drop a comment below, or come along in person and tell us then!

It’s completely free to take part and open to those aged 16-25 who’ve experienced care.

A free event designed entirely for 16-25 year olds who've experienced care. No judgment. No heavy conversations if you don't want them. Just a chance to do something good for yourself.

We're hosting a relaxed day at Delapré Abbey with creative stuff, food & drinks, spaces to chill, and people who actually get it. You might make new connections. You might discover something about yourself. Or you might just spend the day enjoying some of the activities on offer.

There's optional space to share your ideas about what supportive care should look like, but that's genuinely voluntary. This day is for you first.

It's completely free to attend!

As part of the Children's STAR Project, funded thanks to the players of the National Lottery Community Fund, it was a privilege to share our STAR storybooks, STAR cushions, and the free resources available through Tackling Trauma.

A huge thank you to Carol Woodley and the wonderful team at Eccleshill Family Hub, Bradford East, for such a warm welcome.

We had some inspiring conversations around emotional wellbeing, trauma-informed support, and the potential for sharing Tackling Trauma resources more widely with families and practitioners. It was encouraging to explore how these free resources could complement the fantastic work already taking place through the hub.

Every stop on the STAR Roadshow reminds us of the incredible people working quietly behind the scenes to create brighter futures for children and families. 🌟

Thank you for all that you do. We look forward to continuing the conversation and exploring opportunities to work together in the future.

A heartfelt thank you to National Lottery players for supporting the Children's STAR Project Roadshow. 🌟

Our Manchester visit included a community stand at Chapel School, helping us raise awareness of the Children's STAR Project and the Tackling Trauma website.

STAR cushions and storybooks were shared with children and families, creating opportunities to talk about emotional wellbeing, resilience and the support available through our growing network and resources.

A special thank you to Felicity for representing the project, engaging with families and helping extend STAR's positive message to even more children and communities.

Together, we continue to build awareness, strengthen connections and help children feel seen, supported and understood.

✨ NORTHANTS SEND MUMMAS CIRCLE ✨

On 21st June, we gathered for a beautiful Summer Solstice SEND Mummas Circle, a Crysalys Foundation Wellbeing Initiative, held by Ali Wildflowers Healing and Mita Love Your Presence in the stunning gardens of

A gentle space to pause.
A space to breathe.
A space to be held.

Parenting and caring for children with SEND can often feel overwhelming, with little time left for self-care. This circle offered an opportunity for parents and carers to step away from daily demands, reconnect with themselves, and receive support within a compassionate community that truly understands.

Through connection, reflection, breath, meditation, sound and shared conversation, we honoured the energy of the solstice, a reminder that even in life’s busiest seasons, we deserve moments of stillness, nourishment, and light.

At Crysalys Foundation, we recognise that supporting SEND families means supporting the whole family. By creating safe spaces for connection and wellbeing, we help build resilience, reduce isolation, and remind parents that they are not alone on this journey.

Thank you to everyone Northants SEND mummas who joined us to pause and connect 🌞💛

Thank you to National Lottery players for helping us bring the Children's STAR Project into communities across England. 🌟

As part of our Oldham West & Royton roadshow, we visited Oldham Library and Oldham Gallery, where Mita met the wonderful Faith Buchanan during a toddler sensory session.

It was fantastic to see such welcoming spaces dedicated to supporting young children and families through creativity, sensory play and community connection.

STAR cushions and books were shared, alongside information about the Tackling Trauma website and resources designed to support emotional wellbeing and resilience.

A huge thank you to Faith and the wider team for taking the time to meet with us and for the fantastic work you do to support local families.

Thanks to the players of the National Lottery Community Fund 🌟 Star was once again on the road, recently shining bright in Blackburn at Blackburn & Darwen Baby Zone Hub.

A huge thank you to Carragh and the wonderful team for such a warm welcome and for taking the time to share the incredible work taking place within the centre. I was genuinely moved by the scale of support, care, and opportunity being offered to children, young people, and families within the community.

From wellbeing support, creativity, mentoring, movement, play, and connection, to creating safe spaces where young people feel seen, heard, and valued, it is clear this is so much more than a centre. It is a place filled with hope, purpose, and possibility 🌟

It was beautiful to introduce Star cushions, storybooks, and share the gentle trauma-aware resources available through the project and via the Tackling Trauma website. Conversations around emotional wellbeing, regulation, and early support continue to show just how important these spaces and connections truly are.

I’m really looking forward to hearing more about the inspiring journey behind the growth of these hubs and the impact they continue to make in areas where support is needed most.

Thank you again for welcoming Star and for all that you do for the community 💛
