🌟 Last week, Compass Rise joined the Mindfulness Roadshow at Wakefield Trinity Ground as part of Children’s Mental Health Week 2026! 🌟

The event was completely free and welcomed Primary Schools, Junior Schools and PRUs from across the local area.

We loved being part of such a positive, wellbeing‑focused day and hope everyone who came along had a fantastic time 💛
