This weekend the fantastic @WaveProjectUK are running their first Wellbeing catch-up sessions to support children impacted by lockdown.

The first session is taking place at South Bay in Scarborough supporting members of their surf club. Working in small groups, their students will move between surfing and beach games to ensure they can maintain social distancing.

The hope is these sessions will help young people prepare for a return to school in September 🤙🏄‍♀️🌊

Newbies to the RYH family, the fantastic Dandelion

Newbies to the RYH family, the fantastic Dandelion Time have been able to continue offering vital 1-2-1 outdoor sessions for young people who have been the victims or severe abuse or trauma. The supported families have enjoyed the freedom of the farm! They have picked wild garlic, built dens, tracked fox prints, fed and stroked our hens and picked dandelion leaves for the guinea pigs, all within government guidelines around social distancing 🌱☀️🦊
