Our series of pop-up wellbeing days for care experienced young people got off to a flying start last week, with our first group of 11-16-year-olds heading out to explore Caer Bran and Carn Euny with our Education and Outreach Manager, Caroline Davey.
We are hosting these sessions as part of an ongoing partnership with Carefree Cornwall.
Carefree is a Cornish charity for young people with care experience aged 11-25. It aims to help care experienced young people have a good life through positive relationships, support with transitions and helping young people improve the care system for themselves and others.
This is what the young people said about their day…
“I’ve made new friends.”
“We had freedom and with freedom we can create our own rules.”
This is what the team from Carefree said…
“The young people had a joyful and enriching day.”
These days are part of our ‘Lowena’ wellbeing project, which is funded by the National Lottery Community Fund.
This initiative provides young people in Cornwall with opportunities to experience the calming and restorative benefits of nature within Cornwall’s unique historic landscapes.
We know what a huge impact engaging with our shared heritage can have on mental health, wellbeing and social connection, and that’s why we believe offering these experiences to young people through partnerships like this is so important.
