Young people from Allsorts Youth Project and Impact Initiatives joined us on a sunny afternoon to find out more about our TWMP by the sea pilot, taking place in the Easter holidays.

We learnt about the sea, went on a mindful walk along the beach front and decorated stones.

The young people really enjoyed it, sharing how they felt calmer by the end of the session.

Watch this space to book on to our first TWMP by the sea pilot programme ❤️

We were delighted to receive a visit from Lucinda Fraser, the current High Sheriff of East Sussex, this week at The Wild Mind Project up at our plot in Stanmer Park

Our outdoor sessions help young people:
✅ Find calm in nature 🌿
✅ Express themselves through creativity 🎨
✅ Build confidence and resilience 💪
✅ Connect with others in a safe, supportive space 🤝

This is just one of our services we run to help support Children and Young People here at Impact Initiatives.

We had a fantastic session with Urban Forage on Sunday. The young people did so well with the chilly weather and rain. 🌨

They learnt all about the many different types of mushrooms including turkey tail and jelly ear. The young people also learnt about lots of different plants around Stanmer Park, and how to identify them. 🌾

They really enjoyed making vegan chocolate orange jelly ear and drinking homemade foraged tea.

Thank you to the young people and Urban Forage for a really great session in the wild. 🌿
