Here to help kids and the people that support them (you) thrive!
We’re absolutely loving Autumn this year. 🍂 I took a trip to the New Forest over the half-term holidays with my two kids, and the trees were MAGICAL. Seriously, it felt like stepping into another world—I’m convinced fairies must live there!

🗺️ New FREE Walking Routes Now Live!
Speaking of walks, some more of our FREE wellbeing walking routes in partnership with the Canal & River Trust are now live! You can check these out here. We have more routes coming across the UK soon, with our coaches busy mapping new paths:

Coach Anna is off to Cheshire next week.
Laura and I are heading to Liverpool to scout a new City Centre route.
and we still have some space on our Family Wellbeing Session in Devizes (all FREE) if you want to sign up.

Having these small, internal tools to support you through…
Join the Next Glimmer Seeker Cohort!
Last month, Laura ran a Glimmer Seeker Masterclass for our latest cohort, including the Canal & River Trust Education Team and a local teacher. The session gave them all some much-needed time for self-reflection and self care.
The results were amazing: 100% of attendees would recommend it to a friend!
“Fantastic session, enlightening, warming and a refreshing time.”
“A refreshing session, really enjoyed it.”
