Three fully embedded Programmes
promoting wellbeing and Connectedness

Mission statement

“To be recognised as a warm and committed provider, offering care and support in an environment which enables all young people to flourish in their identity and maximise their potential”

Positive Psychology

Positive psychology is the scientific study of what makes life worth living
(Peterson, 2008)

The three wellbeing programmes are designed to give children and young people the techniques and tools to become more resilient. Resilience is one of the most important attributes we can give young people of today, the enormous pressure of 24/7 living, social media presence and unrealistic beauty standards causes enormous challenges to navigate. The programmes delivered here rest heavily on Positive Psychology research and equip young people with strategies and tools to face these challenges and thrive.

Young people's wishes
and feelings feedback  

Spending the summer months in Natalie’s cottage was not at all what I expected. Mindfulness on the beach at sunrise, learning to cook from scratch and feeling listened too. This was probably the best placement I’ve ever had in care. K 
I really enjoyed it and l learned lots from everyone with moving on and how bills work. Aidan (Young person from Wrexham)
I loved the staff especially nick! I enjoyed everyone’s company. We had help with bills and managing money! I couldn’t have asked for a better placement! If It wasn’t for Natalie and nick I wouldn’t be where I would be now!. Katie (Young person from Wrexham)
