Space to Breathe Girls - woodland support group
So excited to see some of the willow lanterns made by our Space to Breathe Girls group on display in South Street, Chichester, as part of the Culture Spark Our Landscape community exhibition. It was wonderful to bump into a parent and grandparent of one of the girls who had been through our Space to Breathe Girls group. They told me how much the group, being in nature, had helped their daughter/granddaughter during a really difficult and low time and how well and happy she is now! So lovely to hear!!
Our Space to Breathe Girls Group is for 11-15yrs olds is free and meets in Kingley Vale on Sundays on a fortnightly basis. Designed to support Girls who are struggling with low self esteem and mental health ... we have lots of fun and enjoy the fabulous nature of Kingley Vale..... for more info and booking click here
