2018 saw the start of our activity-based Mentoring Groups, using Social and Emotional Learning to change lives. Children come through our doors facing all sorts of challenges, but leave our Mentoring Programme with new resilience and the ability to thrive. Here, Loraine, a Pastoral and Safeguarding Lead, tells us about the huge impact of these groups on the lives of children like Emily. Her life has been transformed!
We’re thrilled to welcome the latest additions to our team, Tabitha, Papaya and Josiah, our Graduate Interns, and Helen, the latest member of our cookery team. We can’t wait for them to showcase their experience, expertise and enthusiasm! Let’s get to know them a little better…
“Before this group, I felt like a nobody. Now I feel like somebody.” This was the answer 8-year-old Evie gave when asked about the difference our Activity-Based Mentoring Group had made for her. This sums up for us why we do what we do. Everyone deserves to know that they matter, whatever their circumstances and challenges.
We are immensely grateful to everyone who has contributed to our slow cooker appeal.
What a great term it has been at FFL! We have been busy delivering our various groups and programmes around Leeds. Our families have loved coming along to the groups and have benefitted hugely from the activities and support from the FFL team.
