..."from six or seven years old play is gone …it’s brutal, children aren’t ready." Children don't have time, space or opportunity to play, with awful consequences for their health. Playing outside should be an everyday thing for all children, everywhere. theguardian.com/education/arti…

We’ve loved bringing our Family Nature Club sessions to Tuebrook Children’s Centre over the last 4 weeks. Big thanks to all of the wonderful families who came & to the brilliant staff at @west_yew 💚 #strongertogether

Jill Fitzpatrick (MSC Psychotherapy & Counselling – Contemporary Creative Approaches student) volunteered to hold a creative workshop for Liverpool-based CIC, Strengthening Wellbeing Together.

At The Old Library, Jill led a transformative session of engaging creative therapeutic art activities for young girls aged 11-12. Jill provided a safe space for expression and exploration.

The workshop supported positive wellbeing, which would help equip the girls with the tools they need to navigate the complexities of adolescence. Read more: facebook.com/story.php?stor…

Children want schools to give them opportunities to live healthy lifestyles. One girl, aged 11, told me in #TheBigAmbition: "I think the government should focus on more healthy food options in schools... and also have more exercise instead of [just] once a week." #100Voices

In #TheBigAmbition, children shared with me ideas to support involvement in extra-curricular activities: "The government needs to prioritise spending on things for children to do when they are not in school. Youth & sports clubs that are not too expensive." - Boy, 11 #100Voices

Community activities that help children improve their help were a theme in #TheBigAmbition: "[Government] should refurbish parks with sports pitches & exercise equipment so people that don't have a garden to exercise have a place to keep fit & healthy." - Boy, 11 #100Voices

Thinking of all affected by today’s tragic incident in Southport. It’s so sad to think of such things happening anywhere - but especially at places created to support children and families and bring people joy.

What a great morning at Springwood Heath school delivering a staff Wellbeing Workshop. Such a great team of staff who made me feel very welcome and got stuck into all the activities! Thanks for having me along. Nicola.
