🌿 Partnership Announcement 🌿

I'm really pleased to share that Wildoria CIC and One Together CIC are now partners.

When I started Wildoria, I didn't want to create just another organisation. I wanted to build connections, bring people together, and work alongside others who genuinely care about their communities.

Over the last few months, I've had the privilege of meeting some incredible people doing amazing work, and One Together CIC is one of them.

Partnerships like this matter because no single organisation can do everything on its own. By supporting one another, sharing ideas, and working together, we can reach more people and create a stronger, more connected community.

Wildoria CIC may still be young, but its roots are growing, and I'm grateful to everyone who believes in what we're building.

Thank you to One Together CIC for your trust, support, and willingness to walk alongside us.

This is only the beginning. 🌱

💚 Healing begins when people feel seen.

Well... this is happening. 😅

Today I started moving things into Studio 24 at The Old Courts.

At the moment it's mostly boxes, random bits of furniture, plants, shelves, and me trying to work out where everything is going to live. But it's starting to feel like mine.

A few months ago Wildoria CIC didn't exist. Now we're setting up a base in one of Wigan's most iconic buildings and building something that I hope will serve our communities for many years to come.

There's still a lot of work ahead, but seeing the space beginning to come together made me smile.

Now excuse me while I move approximately 5,000 more things. 😂

Today we delivered our second Art for the Heart workshop in partnership with Ataraxia CIC.

This session, The Invisible Weight, invited participants to explore the responsibilities, worries, emotions and experiences we carry every day, often without anyone else seeing them.

Using body mapping, creativity and reflection, participants identified where stress lives in their bodies, what feels heavy, what helps them cope, and where they find strength.

The conversations were honest. The artwork was powerful. The reflections were deeply personal.

One participant shared that the body mapping activity helped them identify feelings and emotions they had not fully recognised before. Another described leaving the session feeling empowered.

By the end of the workshop, every participant reported feeling positive, and the feedback highlighted the value of having a safe space to reflect, create and connect with others.

These sessions continue to remind us that creativity is not just about making art. It can be a tool for understanding ourselves, expressing what words struggle to say, and recognising that we do not have to carry everything alone.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us and trusted the process.

Before anyone arrived, this was the space.

Tables ready.

Lights dimmed.

A moon watching over the room.

A space prepared for reflection, creativity and honest conversations.

Today we explored The Weight We Carry — the responsibilities, worries, expectations and experiences that often go unseen.

There is something powerful about creating a space where people can pause, breathe and realise they don't have to carry everything alone.

I'm looking forward to seeing what emerges from today's session.

Today we delivered the first Art for the Heart workshop, The Mask We Wear, in partnership with Ataraxia CIC.

Through creativity, reflection and conversation, participants explored the difference between the face we show the world and the experiences we often carry beneath the surface.

The masks created were powerful, honest and deeply personal. Themes of resilience, hope, family, healing, responsibility and self-discovery emerged throughout the session.

The feedback was wonderful, and seeing participants leave feeling happier, lighter and more connected was a reminder of why creative wellbeing matters.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and trusted the process.

Healing begins when people feel seen.

Today marks an exciting milestone for Wildoria CIC .

This afternoon, our first commissioned Art for the Heart workshop takes place in partnership with Ataraxia. As a new CIC, opportunities like this mean a great deal to us. They represent trust, collaboration, and a shared commitment to improving wellbeing through creativity.

Art for the Heart has been designed to create a welcoming space where people can explore creativity, connect with others, and take time for themselves in a supportive environment.

As we continue building Wildoria, partnerships like these remind us that meaningful community work happens when organisations come together around shared values and a common purpose.

Thank you to Ataraxia for the opportunity, and to everyone who continues to support our journey.

We're only at the beginning, but the roots are growing.

A few days ago, I received the keys to Studio 24 at The Old Courts.

Today, it's already starting to feel like ours. 💚

When I first walked into the room, it was just an empty space with red walls. Now, thanks to a lot of paint, hard work, and determination, it's beginning to become the home of Wildoria CIC and Hailstone Holistics.

A special thank you to my partner, Jon O'Neill who spent today painting and helping bring this vision to life. I had the ideas, but he was the one covered in paint making it happen! 🎨😅

Wildoria CIC is only 2 months and 10 days old, and sometimes it's hard to believe how much has happened in such a short time.

There is still plenty to do, but every step forward is worth celebrating.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us, donated, shared our posts, connected us with opportunities, or simply believed in what we're building.

We're just getting started. 💚

🌿 Exciting news for Wildoria CIC! 🌿

Today I had the pleasure of meeting Michael and Joanne from Friends of Low Hall Nature Reserve Hindley, who kindly showed me around this beautiful and inspiring space.

We spent time exploring the reserve, sharing ideas, discussing community wellbeing, creativity, nature connection and the importance of creating opportunities for people to come together in meaningful ways. The conversations were open, positive and full of possibility.

I am delighted to share that Wildoria CIC and Friends of Low Hall Nature Reserve will be working together, building a partnership rooted in shared values and a common vision for supporting people, nature and community.

As many of you know, nature plays a huge role in my own wellbeing. Some of my happiest moments are spent outdoors, walking, observing wildlife, listening to birdsong and simply reconnecting with the natural world. To be able to develop future activities and projects in a place that values these same connections feels incredibly special.

A heartfelt thank you to Michael and Joanne for their warm welcome, generosity and enthusiasm. I left feeling inspired, encouraged and excited for what lies ahead.

This is only the beginning, and I can't wait to see what grows from here. 🌱💚

People heal when they feel seen.
