Mudlarks are delighted to have received funding from the Pixel Trust to purchase a yurt for our Forest School. This 20 ft yurt will be able to accommodate the largest of groups as it seats up to 30 people. It is a much needed addition to our forest school and means we can offer a warm dry place to shelter in cold and wet weather. The yurt will also act as a very reassuring visible focal point for our children and young people to return to after enjoying exploring the woodland, and a hub for all to meet up in at break times.

PROMISEworks provides long term volunteer mentoring to children and young people in Somerset.

So often we see young people who due to early trauma from domestic/physical, sexual or emotional abuse are unable to move forward with their lives, or even imagine a future for themselves. When this occurs, we are able to offer a form of coaching which can make a difference to the way a young person thinks and feels and helps them to better manage their emotions - in short to retrain their brains.
