Message from St Andrews Church
The service at St Andrew's on Easter morning will be a Family Holy Communion - suitable for all and quite possibly some eggs to be found as part of the service or afterwards.
 
A message from Forest School
We are noticing an increased number of children in our schools who are struggling with their mental health and wellbeing. To support our children with more complex needs further, Helen and Rachel are completing their Outdoor Mental Health Practitioners training. This CPD is providing training to incorporate a therapeutic approach to sessions; focusing on children who may have suffered trauma, attachment issues, anxiety or are neurodiverse. 
 
From Easter we are running Saturday morning wellbeing sessions. These will be small group sessions, aimed for all children but we particularly would like to work with children who may find other clubs overwhelming, or need support with their social, emotional or physical wellbeing in a nurturing environment.
