Kids reported how impactful the events had been. Coming out of Covid, their mental health had been negatively affected with them feeling sad and alone. Kids reported that these events made them feel whole and alive again. - Building independence, confidence and resilience Through activities such as the sandwich making session and rock climbing, the kids were given an opportunity to channel their creative minds and problem solving skills to achieve a particular goal. Whilst all activities were fun, kids were empowered to build their self-confidence in their abilities as well as independence. - Exploration of the local environment Our trips to places like Plantasia were key in providing exploration opportunities to kids who might not other have them mainly due to financial constraints of their parents. These experiences were educational for the kids, who reported feeling happy because they had widened their knowledge and taken part in friendly competitions with their friends. Overall, the project was a resounding success. What we are most proud of is we were able to involve children with disabilities and special needs, who are often left out in mainstream activities and isolated from their peers. In addition, we engaged with 12 volunteers who improved their skills in the duration of the project. ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |Achievements against
