We now have permission to announce that we were one of the groups that secured funding from the Ambition Arena judges for our summer band for young people who have additional needs from a background of care, adoption, kinship! We will be opening referrals soon to add to our band Iron Nest / 🪹 Nest of Iron, celebrating the families that provide a secure family life for these children and building resilience and confidence. Not only did we smash this, the judges asked if we'd take our model nationwide to support others to recreate this amazing idea born from one of our wonderful young people. Proud beyond words 😭😭😭 Barnsley Council Barnsley CVS Lets rock this summer ☀️

We've got spaces free in the music 🎶 group for The OTIS project! It runs Fridays at 4:30pm This has been the dark horse 🐎 for me. I couldn't believe the song the last group produced and I can't wait to share it. But I'm under strict instructions to not until Tyler has equalised it a bit. Parent feedback: "My child got more out of this group than she did months of individual therapy!"

The feedback about the groups has been amazing 🤩 We’ve got spaces to fill for block 2 so if you have a Barnsley postcode and your child is adopted, in kinship or foster care or you have a birth child impacted by living with a sibling who is adopted, kinship or fostered they can come along too.

We were at Ambition Arena tonight, here's a little taster of our young people's bid. A request to form a band in the summer for young people with additional needs ✨️ We can't say how we did. The winners are announced on Monday. But I was so super proud of our young people tonight. They were amazing 👏 Barnsley Council Barnsley CVS

A child created this image yesterday in celebration of our charity registration. So I'm using it for our sponsorship 10k platform. If you're running with us please either print this off and take a selfie holding the sign and send it to me or ideally make your own sign with a ✋️ handprint and the words. Thanks for your support 🙏 The photos will become part of a collage of all our runners.

Unfortunately we missed out on the discounted places despite the charity registration 🙈 But we are running to fundraise for eQuiPT Therapy Services Charity 😀 If you want to join us it's £29.50 to sign up and put that you're running for us in the organisation. As soon as we get the gift aid sorted we'll put out the fundraising platform. This will be our first official charity fundraiser. Exciting times 😁
